My fastest lap around Red Star Raceway (Anti-Clockwise) in SuperHatch Class A, which I completed during Practice at the Extreme Festival held in October 2023. A fair lap but much time to still gain.

Based on my own data from other laps I completed, there's at least 0.4 seconds to find, by: carrying more speed out of T2, carrying more speed into T3, a tidier entry into T5, carrying more speed through T5 and T6, and finding my gear first time into T10. This will be even more if the track and ambient temperatures are lower, it was very hot. And you may pick up that my car's gear ratio is sub-optimal for T9, costing time.

My car is an Opel Corsa Lite (Corsa B) with a modified Z28XE 1.8L engine (from an Opel Corsa C GSI / Astra H). It's built to SuperHatch regulations, so for example, it has normal OEM replacement shocks, a maximum front camber of 4 degrees, a normal diff with standard gear ratios, and extra weight for the class power-to-weight ratio. The engine/ECU was mapped to produce 93,7kw/134Nm peak power/torque.
