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

 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.

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!

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.

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
