    Where are you guys at on practice on Infineon? I'm sitting at 1:34 in FWD right now, using an n/a car.

    I tried driving the GT40 around, got frustrated and quit.

    Yeah, the blind corners and elevation changes are highly annoying in a high HP RWD car, to say the least.

    I got down to 1:25 in an AWD car, though, and i've got some room to go. I think i'll be able to pull a 1:20 in AWD, about the same in RWD, and probably a 1:28 or 1:29 in FWD.

    Talk some smack!!!

    I'm going to put in a couple hours tomorrow again, we'll see where we stand.

    So far the St205 celica seems faster than the Tommy Kaira ZZ-II on this track. Easier to throw into drifts around some of the elevation change curves vs. the ZZ-II that just wants to understeer like a pig off into the grass. ST205 seems a better momentum car.

    There's the smack talk i was looking for!!!

    That was using some relatively low-powered cars.

    ST202 Celica
    ST205 Celica
    Supra RZ

    What were YOU getting down to, sir?

    I let the computer do a "ghost run" for me initially and then I go out and crush the ghost.

    GHOST RUNS:

    MF VW GTi 1:31.xxx

    MR Ford GT40 1:26.xxx

    M4 Tommy Kaira ZZII 1:24.xxx

    I haven't run my cars except for the GT40.

    I hate the ghost... it scares the crap out of me when it passes me by going THROUGH me. WTF is up with THAT?!?!

    I have a feeling that i'm going to clean up this week.

    Keep feeling yourself and you will need to clean something.

    I never let the ghost get past me.

    I'm going to take down your ZZ-II with a Celica. And that's going to hurt deep inside i bet.

    rwd? Nope. But now that you bring it up I will run a Euro 4wd car just for you.

    My RWD car is the LAST car you will expect to see.
