I do about 6times 5-6 laps stints. so in 3 hrs can do 30-36 laps

I usually do 8-10 laps at a time... once the clutch slips badly, it's not fun anymore. Letting the car rest and cool off helps.

i do 4 at a time, 5 if you include cool down lap

by the end of 4th, if i push it all the way, oil temps will start to aproach 130C ^^;

forgot to add, usually in 5-6 laps ( sub 3 mins x 6 + out/in lap = 25mins ) stint not just car's oil and water temp go up, driver oso temp hot

dudes,

put in the right equipment on the car and you can lap until the cows come home. hehehe...of course learning to conserve tyres and pads helps. its a balance of keeping up decent and consistent lap times without overheating ur tyres.

u may notice most endurance track cars dun spin up, lock up, under/over steer etc, but the lap times are there. keeping it really smooth and clinical helps.

Ken san (MME racer wo) we talkin about Track Day friend, not MME le :-)

my old car can't take more than 10 laps stint at 100% pace. things start overheating (water, oil). so keeping it to 6 balls out full chat stints conserves my car


but you're right with proper equipment and dicipline can keep running till run low on fuel..

I recall driving a beat up 1.6 Satria for 75 mins keeping to a consistent 3 mins lap time in MME 2000. after 45 mins in the car darn bored aredi
