Anyone up for a video game lap challenge?

No son, you're Michael Waltrip

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.

been so busy lately I haven't had a chance to try yet, hopefully tonight!

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.

And for the next week we all hang up on Maroon.

The ghost is annoying. Right now I've got a 1:27 with a Shelby Series 1

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.

Actually I said that I was running a different car and that those were the cars I ghosted...

Oooooohhhhh....

Well hell. Is it an Audi?

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.

800HP Ginetta? Nope.

I will give you a hint, you can buy them in the used car lot for over $100,000

Aston Martin V8 Vantage?

I'm at work, i can't see what's there. I will be able to in two hours though!!! Then we'll have realtime smack talk!

As I leave work to go home... Nice Nancy, you going to spend a lot of time smacking yourself around?

Was the V8 Vantage guess right?

I guess i'll smack myself around. It'll be so ronery though.

Yessir the V8 Vantage. All show, no go.

Likes to liquify tires... i have one of those.
