Isn't the supra around 1200 kg?
Run around 1387 like my DB9 or 1370 like Brads XKR and then you can use the "overweight" excuse.

Celica, I'd be glad to send you that info. with a screen shot but I still don't know how. I've been to 2 Walmart stores hoping to find a young gamer who could take me right to what I needed to be able to do that. I've also googled it a couple of times and I still don't get it. Tell you what I will do if you want me to. I'll be glad to gift you the car to check out and you can send it back when your through playing with it. That is the best car in that performance range that I've found in the game so far. I've come to realize, don't assume that just because a certain car behaved a certain way in previous GT games that it will be the same in this version. You know, as short and compact as that car is, it's running an inline 6. I think it's got about 180kg of ballast sitting right in the middle. over 600hp and still very light, and if you're a multi-millionaire, you can buy a real one.
To get photos of the settings you have to use a camera and load it to the computer. It's easier to just copy stuff down and send it to him in a message.
To do photos from the replays online, you need a usb memory stick(size doesn't matter), copy them from the dashboard, put them on the computer and throw them up onto photobucket or something.
GRM usb stick:

OK, that makes perfect sense. I understand that. But I can't find a USB port on my PS3. WTH is it?
The dealies on the front you plug the controller into.

That is exactly what happened to me at Daytona when I plowed the wall trying to pass you. For some reason last night when I tried to get a side view I wasn't pressing right and ended up with a rear view, which is what happened coming up to that corner.
As far as qualifying. I think I was pole (soon to be passed by two GTRs) and I think I turned a 2:28 or so lap. That was the fastest I have ever run and I was just getting better at the track (figuring out the secrets). My pacing laps (when I wasn't chasing Apex) were around 2:32 I believe.
I think we should consider keeping this track as an option for a "regular" track in the future. It is a bit long, so pit stops are hard, but the challenge is there. Of course it would probably would be a bit boring in slow cars.
I also wanted to note the great variation of cars in the ROC! From what I remember (?): Ford GT, GT-R (x2), Supra (g2?), ZZII, McLaren Mercedes (I almost ran one of those), Lexus LFA. What am I missing? Oh, the BTR.

I think it's 1251?
BTR, but it wasn't in long. I think that was it.

Eh, i'm just curious lol. Could you maybe type out what you've got in terms of suspension settings?
I wonder if i just keep mine too highly sprung. (that's what SHE said)

Sure, I'll get it next time I've got it on.

That would be me. I was so excited to still be running at the after a few turns, that I brainfarted and forgot what turn was coming up. The kiss I gave to the wall really hurt.

Thanks!

Upon review, the settings for the ZZII are rather mild:
camber angle: F=2.5; R=1.8 toe angle: F=-0.05; R=+0.20 ride ht.: F=-20; R=-18 all 4 damper settings: 7 (default) anti roll bars: 6 R&R (default) brake sensitivity: F=2; R=0
stock 4WD drive train; stock turbo, 708 hp available with big turbo. To get 600PP, added 182kg of ballast in the center. 50/50 wt. balance. The car has a lot more performance available.
Thanks Graef i'll give that a shot! I think my car is already full-bore prepped, so it's probably close to 700pp these days.

I wanted it to be a fast course, and tried my best to make it feel like a real race course. It is impossible (currently) to eliminate all the jumps and blind apexes, but I minimized them as much as I could using banking and subtle tweaks.
On thing that I did notice, was that (with the exception of TJ, who parked) everyone finished on the lead lap. There were some gaps, but often times they would close up.
I know I created the track, but I actually found it hard to run my race line when in traffic. I tended to watch and follow the driver in front of me more than I do on other tracks. This often resulted in me getting myself out of shape, making a mistake or other foul situations.

How can you forget my sunset yellow Lambo? Went from 8th to 3rd in the run to t1, and then spent the rest of the race trying to get back to 8th.
I think 2wd was the way to go on MSR. I could turn fast laps in practice with the Lambo (2:28) but that was clean track and no damage. After touching ac in T1 my race went away fast. The Lambo did not like damage... at all. I actually managed to pit twice, and coming out of the last stop I was only about 90 seconds off the lead.
