I'm getting the arsehole with this now. I think I'm on for a good run then completely twat it.

That's the good thing about doing it on the PlayStation as opposed to real life. The armco doesn't hurt as much and when you bin it you just quit and start again

SO you quit a whole session just cause you hit the barrier??Why???? Just get back on the track,you could take a few good corners,and make it back...

Seems a waiste of 7mins???

Prob im having is,is alot of my times are the same,so the fuckin shadow of my fastest time is always right on me,so i cant see the bloost track coming!!!!!!!!

Opel Astra touring car is spot on imo for the 'ring on arcade. On norm when u whack on a bigger turbo it gets a little hairy.

I done a 6:17 with it, not too shabby but not the best.

I got a 7:04.862 on the softest tires, nothing else changed, that sorted the understeer a treat.
better than the 7:22.626 on racing hard tyres, nothing else changed.

Turned teh PS2 on and I think I'm a bit fuzzy from my trip to the pub and the couple I had over dinner as I couldn't make it round the first set of corners without stuffing it. A case in point for the people who say a couple of drinks doesn't impair them

7:04 was just the tyres changed
6:53 was everything adjusted...
and this is what I will leave you with to aim for, its beatable as I dropped 2.5+sec early on but a fairly tidy middle sector:



Whats the challenge for the weekend? I would like to see 6min30s??
