There were others posting times as well ,if I get a chance I'll run through the thread and make a note of everyone that posted for specific tracks.

This week i thought we'd go for something very quick, on the ring.

Calsonic R32 GTR race car (in Nissan), track is the Nurburgring, usual stuff, use quick tune to get the best out of the car, best tyres, weight, power etc, gearing is asjustable as well on this car by changing the top speed.

EDIT - 6:19.558 to start with.

Indeed it takes a bit of learning, great fun though, and also great dismay if you get round the whole track and then crash at the corner's at the end of the big straight right at the end of the lap, thus having to go around all 11-12 miles ( I forget how long the lap is) again lol.

At least the skyline is pretty forgiving (with the super soft tires) - it doesnt mind too much if you brake mid corner. The F1 cars are scary on that circuit though - I can understand why they stopped having GP's there (shame though)
6:28 so far, at least I'm managing to make it round the circuit without crashing most of the time now.
