If that was in a TC65 car in professional mode + three beers, you're a man to watch out for. However good GT4 is, it's pitched more towards 'arcade'

S-M, Delan is right. Build up to it. Tip:(only just figured it for myself) turn up the volume of 'Tyre scrub' and 'Skid' sounds. They make you a lot more aware of how close you are to losing it. Something your bum would tell you IRL.

I get the definate feeling that I will sink further and further down the rankings as more of you young bloods take up the cudgel.

It was in the Alfa (sweet sweet car), and well, the time was closer to 12 min than 11 min, now that I think about it again... I wouldn't be too worried if I were you

Delan is faster than me, although it must be said that for one he hold his alcohol better than me (he is physically bigger) and second, he knows the game, the cars and the track better than me. I haven't spent two hours in GTL yet...

I also tried the nurb in the Elan but couldn't keep it on the road. It just swings it tail around whenever I brake even if I do it gently. I can't quite figure out how to drive it fast. Or perhaps I was just too slow to perceive it's reactions because of the alcohol... Dunno... gotta drive more GTL

I sort of agree with you on GT4, but it really depends on how much 'aid' you let the game give you. If you turn off everything, the simulation is rather good I think. But the main reason I drive GT4 is because the force feedback is damn good. You can feel how your car drifts and how the front tires want to go everywhere if you come into or out of a corner too fast, instead of just seeing it on the monitor. It's really 'easy' to control the car. It's difficult to explain, I just think it's good, and I can't get quite that same feeling in GTL although I must say that it does a pretty good job.

No, GTA is a TC65. Steady old motah.

good grief, look at all the buttons
I'd best try tyhat when sober(relatively at least)

I hope you're all practicing at home. Mmm, looks to good to give away. :dribble:

:devil: under 10:30 in the mini, though I have to admit the fuel was just beginning to run out on the home straight!

:woot: nice choice of bevarage. The burgundy wood is a nice dram, glenmorangie is one of the more traditional stills in Scotland. was one of my drams of choice at new year (well the port finish) They only employ 16 blokes at the still o0. Its not one of my local distilleries (speyside malts)
Speyside is home to no less than 50% of the Malt Whisky Distilleries in Scotland. It is the geographical heart of Malt Whisky making today. The whisky trail with a tasting in each still is a good way to pass (OUT on) a Sat afternoon.

Someones gonna be a happy racer!!

11:03 in a Mini, first attempt so I expect better! :ranting:
Damn its a long track, how about a practive night on the DMR server? That way it won't be so boring as you can chat with someone or even follow them around.

Without patronising, that is a very creditable show. No doubt a few prangs along the way!

You got it. Nordschleife night to be arbitrarily nominated.
