Well, the TTD track record CW is 02:05.106[1]. Which is actually a few seconds slower than the TTE record.
I don't know what the process is to claim a track record, but I run under 2m at TWS with decent weather and traffic[2], so I don't think it's a real stretch to suggest that it is possible.
Of course, I realize you're trying to be a dick, but that just makes it more funny to me.

T7 is a bitch. Floor it at the entry of T2 and don't lift until you see God. He resides deep within the chicane.
Did not pop the CVs, popped the axle shaft between the CVs. The axles are completely custom. Ford Explorer diff housing with a 31-spline carrier (not 28) so everything is weird. Driveshaft Shop is on the case.

Agreed on T2. If you're a real man, you won't lift after T3 until you hit T15. Another mistake I see here, people fighting to hold a lower line onto the front straight; yes, it is less distance, but fighting the car costs MPH. Every bit of data I've taken says unwinding the wheel and letting the car ride up a bit, then pointing in a straight line towards the apex at start/finish (the front straight is actually a long curve, it does have an apex!) ends up being faster.
Entry into T10 (the carousel) is another place people give up a lot of speed. It should be light brake, turn in, and back on the gas for a bit; you should carry quite a bit of speed through T11. After T10, you should be flat until T6, except perhaps maybe a very light lift into T9 if you have to.

Heck, we have no problems running 5+ seconds under SM record times in our TTD/PTD cars, especially at a roval.
I would need to find some good in-car video though, being as I've never been there.

Looks like I'm out for this one guys. Based on the feedback I got here: https://www.miataturbo.net/meet-gree...rbo-bug-71816/
...and the delays in shipping the car, there won't be enough time to get the car ready. Next time.
