Fully Flat
The front end does go a bit light in the middle due to the stiff bar but traction comes back before you need to turn.
My fastest lap is half a second off the lap record for my car in it's current spec (if I'd have raced when everyone had the same spec I'd have qualified 4th in a grid of 30). From my data I car see where I could eek out another few tenths, a new set of tyres and a bit of a tow and I think I'd be on the front row

I think one of the Noble owners there in his maclaren P1 gt car?
He said he managed a 1.05, it was Friday or Saturday.

You are dead right Chris, that is the only place on the track I could have gained time (according to my data analysis). I think the key is to compromise the entry speed to gain on the exit. I also didn't use all of the track on the exit so I was clearly not right on the limit. You can see by the Delta in the top right that I gain on the way in but lose it all on the way out.
Mark - There were a lot of very fast GT cars out there, Lambos, Ferraris, Ginetta G55's but it was good to chase them and not be held up. 1:05 is mega quick! Some of the Radicals were unbelievable, one of the SR8's wow!

Last time I went to Donington there were almost 10 red flags, including a Ginetta Junior who's rear bumper fell off!

Two red flags on the day, one for a Megan Smashing into the Armco and the other to Recover a G55 GT car and clean up after it dropped it's fluids.
I felt a bit sorry for the normal road cars as it must have been pretty intimidating.

It's a shame my race was on the longer circuit as it would have been interesting to see what I could have gotten on that layout.
It was his mp4-12c GT3 actually. His P1 is his road car
60 seconds of his lap
