What are good Mini lap times at Thunderhill?

My best lap time was a 2 minutes 18 seconds. For comparison, the GT3s that were there were doing 2 min 07s.

Just got back from yesterday's event at Thunderhill with GGLC. What a great day. They allowed runs in 2 groups for each driver (novice and intermediate) OR (advanced and intermediate). After doing double runs in the morning (2 x 20 minutes) I was wiped and had to slow down to single runs. I got tons of track time and did more than 55 laps!

Using the OBC was fun to see that average fuel consumtion was about 8.7 to 9.2 MPG. My fastest average mph for one lap was 77.5 MPH. I can get it to 110 MPH on the front straight (for about 1 second before I have to break for turn 1).
