This was the 1.8 mile course, so it's hard to fine similar lap times for other cars/drivers. In fact, it was the first time I'd ever done this particular configuration.

My first lap was 1:32, 2nd was 1:33. Pretty sure a 1:2x would be possible with a little more car familiarity.
Search youtube for nasa nola July 16, there should be quite a few videos, it was a busy weekend.

1:27's maybe 1:26's are definitely possible with more laps. The braking zones always get me, consistency is key, and I very rarely hit the same marks twice in a row.

The 1.8 mile configuration was the first track day ever for me, mind you this was in my 15 1LE and day 2 of 2 so I had plenty of trial and error, but I seem to remember clicking off consistent 1:28xx on Harry lap timer, but I cant find my folder currently.

this video starts just before start finish, cross around 9:13 and finish around 10:45, aproxx a 1:30 lap.
