Me too. :)

Hey Carl, sorry to hear about the bad deal at USGP! I would have been so bummed. Anyway, one thing that our little spec series is teaching me is once again, SMOOTHNESS is key. Tonight I couldn't get away from 7:51's. Finally I just told myself to calm down and stop driving like a spaz. I just concentrated on hitting all the apexes of the corners, rather then throwing the car into a wild drift, standing on it and trying to set the world on fire. This is not the RUF Faszination video, and that video doesn't dictate the fast line around the 'Ring. So, after calming down, I was back in the 49's. Not stellar, but a great illustration on smooth driving for me. So back to work. Damn 7:19, Carl:D

refresh me on which race you're doing and settings.....i've been turning 6:50s in arcade mode and the BTR.....maybe i'm just faster :D

Arcade mode with no power or weight mods.

7:42.7 Good night Gentlemen.

guys...sorry I have been busy running laps in a 75 911S w 3.6 and skinny ass tires, LOL.

EJ11HHF: 7'19.969 (GT mode, not sure if that matters)
adomakin: 7'37.669
Jeremy Cottrell: 7:42.700
Valvefloat: 7'44.680
Vonzipper: 7'51.900


I'm not liking that at all, the sun must have been in my eye's.....LOL :D

ok I am throwing my hand in...did two laps tonight in the BTR set up to specs listed in the thread.

My first lap was a 7:39 with a few offs until I got the feel for the car...low 7 high 6 is possible on the game. ;)

crap....it was not arcade mode.

first it was Carl. then HD throws in a blinder like that. A 7.39 on your first lap!!! god ive got to learn the track soooo much more..

Looks like my night is planed.....:)

ha ha tonight I will give a go in Arcade mode just to see if there is something different...watch me have trouble running in the 9's. lol

I ran GT last night and it was about the same, until I threw a set of soft race tires on and pulled a 7:16. Big difference with good tires!

Ok I give up.

Where's the short cut?

:D Smooth is key, for me anyway. Make sure you pick the soft tires, medium is the default I think. Of course I probably should not be giving any advice based on my slowness, but as I run more I see all the places I am losing time.

Anyone try the lift before the apex of the corner and then hammer down thru the corner?? only to make sure you chase the rear end

i use lift off oversteer on a good few corners to pull the nose in-works real well on the few corners before the first straight

It may be harder in Arcade Mode! Here's my best after 7 laps...
