JMR: K Swapped 86 x Thunderhill East Bypass - Sub 2 Minute
Joe McGuigan

Joe McGuigan is an amateur racing driver with 66 recorded laps across 19 vehicles on LapMeta, averaging 3.5 laps per car. This balanced ratio suggests methodical track day participation where each platform receives meaningful attention while maintaining diversity enabling comparative understanding. Over three laps per vehicle allows progression beyond initial familiarization—first lap establishes basic characteristics, middle laps build confidence approaching limits, final laps reveal nuanced behaviors requiring extended exposure to discover.

His LapMeta data shows distributed testing with 15 laps at East 3 Mile w/ Bypass configuration, 11 laps at Current layout, and 10 laps at West circuit. The varied venue preference across three different configurations indicates systematic exploration methodology—testing vehicles across varying layouts to understand how platform characteristics respond to different circuit demands. This approach provides comprehensive education spanning both vehicle dynamics understanding and circuit-specific technique development. The 19-vehicle portfolio represents substantial automotive exposure providing comparative education across different engineering philosophies. With 66 laps across 19 vehicles at multiple configurations, Joe McGuigan demonstrates balanced approach valuing both comparative vehicle knowledge and diverse circuit experience supporting well-rounded track day participation and comprehensive performance driving education.

Jimy's K24A2 swapped 86 is back on for testing after a few months. Biggest change is the car is now using BMW MK60 ABS unit since we were constantly getting ABS failure with the OEM unit.

Was a pretty muggy weather day, so would expect a 1.57 is on the table on a better day with fresh tires. Not bad for basically stock K24A2 power.
