Clio Oulton Park lap times

[Alex__]

Hi all,
Did a trackday at Oulton yesterday, and used a timing app (Racechrono) for the first time.

Just wondering what lap times people are getting and their car spec, just for some comparison and to get an idea of whats possible.

My best was a 2:05.56.

Brief car spec is coilovers, A048s, RARB, and stripped out.

 

[imprezaworks]

There is a similar thread.

Mine was 2.10 iirc.

B14’s and rsr tyres. And stripped with cage

2:06.64

Bald 10 year old R888's, AST 4100's, RARB, 197 cams and a lardy 1030kg.

 

[JamesBryan]

2:10 with AD08R's, Whiteline ARB, H&R Coilovers, Rear seats removed.

That was with Harry's Lap Timer. Have also had a 2:07 on the app, but i take the times with a pinch of salt as the 1ghz gps in phones is not very accurate.

Not had the conditions to test the Quaife diff or Dunlop Direzza tyres yet. Should be a second or two at least off those times.

Edit: Forgot to say the 2:10 was with a passenger.

That speed brake down is very interesting! Didn't realise you could do that. Speeds look very similar comparing. Looks like the only real difference is through Druids.

Not sure why Im doing 0 at shell oils though 😂 Must have lost satellites

@Alex__ what does yours weigh in at and is it mapped?

When it was corner weighted recently it weighed 1003kg with half a tank (ish?) of fuel.
Its had an RStuning map. 179bhp on the dyno.

Id like to see the difference with a diff. And slicks.

Having a passenger makes a huge difference in these cars. When I had someone in my car yesterday I was struggling to shake a 182 on cup shocks and springs and Ad08s.

Really feel the difference carrying someone around.

Good lap that mate, it seems similar but you are defo carrying more speed down the straights and through Druids. Would be good to see the vid?

This was the first outing on all my new mods together, AST's, 197 cams etc and the tyres where really letting the set-up down. There was defo at least 2s with newer tyres, suspension tweaking and a bit more balls through Island bend and Druids.

Vid below, the 2:06 was from around 3:00.

Makes me sad watching that back now :confounded:

I need to sift through all the gopro footage. I had some issues which were quite off putting, had some major rubbing on the front during hard cornering, which was very unsettling, had to really back off through cascades.
And then I started to get some knocking on the rear. With both of those sorted and fresh tyres I reckon Ive got a bit more to give

 

[JB21]

I had a brand new set of slicks to try before mine dropped a valve, they would have been epic as well.

Yeah it's a good 70-80kg.

 

[youngarthur]

Yeah it's a good 70-80kg.

Time?. I don't know, but very proud when the instructor said............Ive never slid this far off track before, I didn't know there was grass out here!!.

 

[Russ Rallye]

Anything under 2m Mark is a quick time.
1.57’s last time in October 2015 hopefully we’ll be quicker than that next time I’m there.

Helps when you've got about 225bhp per tonne :tongueclosed:

More like 235 per tonne but yeah it helps.

Only about 65bhp per tonne more than me lol

Point of deminishing returns after a certain point, sure my old class F car will do 2.05ish.

I'm sure my car would be faster with you driving it .

 

[SWL16]

Mine's 2.14 but in two visits I'm yet to get a dry track. (This was the closest it got before the next downpour). Standard 182, PS3s on 182 wheels, 182Cup Springs and Shocks.

Will keep an eye on this thread ready for (hopefully) a dry day in Summer this year.

I was down in the 2.04's in mine. That was with 197 cams, quaife diff, b14's and ns2r's.

Since then I've gone supercharged, AST's, roll centre hubs and slicks. not been back to oulton yet though!

You hoping for sub 2 minutes then? Was there when you were getting 2:04s and you seemed like you had a bit more in you then. You lost a second or two messing with your harness belts, lol.

Haha! I remember that! New 6-point harnesses since then too so hopefully none on that lol. yeah i'd hope to get much closer to 2mins now. Just messing trying to fit epas at the moment. Hopefully be back on track mid summer

Cool. EPAS is a good mod for track, bit weird at first but once you get the settings right it decent. Need to pull mine off my breaking FF which I'm dreading, as i aint got a clue, lol.

 

[Neil Clio 182]

2min10 ish seems to be where I am at with 2 people in the car, I could be quicker if I was braver

Decent time with a passenger.

I was at 2:07 with passenger and 2:05 on my own, but that felt on the edge 😅

 

[Mr Underhill]

Very good times indeed.
The Track Day Trophy frontrunners go around 2:00 per lap in their fully race-prepped 182s, equipped with gripper, race tyres etc.
The back markers typically lap around the 2:05 mark.

 

[imprezaworks]

First day I ever day I managed a 2.12 in a phase 1, pretty much standard ISH. I never timed again but I'm confident sub 1.45.


Isssshhhhj

Is that with or without the 180 spin?

 

[imprezaworks]

Got to give people a chance 🤔

Just watched the video above I posted back in 2018 with a 2:06 lap, christ it was painful to sit through. The car had so much more to give.

I was shocked at how fast this Guy was, No not the Porsch, they had some folks doing a driving expericence and were getting in the way!

Was gonna say you're much less than that now?

My fastest was in my ep3 in Avon zzr in the dry at 2.04 in it's last year.

Stripped, cage, meisters, lsd, 5.1fd, 240 bhpz

That's my buddy in the black MR2. It's a 2.5L N/A 2AR-FXE conversion. Heaps of torque to push him down the straights. My 2ZZ is no comparison in reality with its mere 138 ft. lbs.
