Dinnae about 55 flat, but I know I can get under 56.  Get the gearbox right, and see if I can get rid of the little bounce I get in the last turn, and maybe throw a bottle on the car and I might hit 55 flat =)

Ya know.....I was going to bite the bullet and run el capitan a dozen or so times to get that 4.5m Bently......but my 15 year old Toyota seems to be well and truly on the pace so I dont think I'll bother.

And.....I didn't think I was going to like this completely open race but running the different cars against each other is kinda cool.

Glad people are digging it. I figured alot of people were far enough into the game now to see some freakishly competative cars. I'm real, real tempted to break out the Nismo GT-R and tune it for this round. Not really surprised that Toyota was competative, it's a fast car :)

As to 2 seperate divisions, if this were Fuji 90s, I'd say yes. It has an extra turn or 2 that would make the difference. Judging by the times though, I'd say it's pretty fair right now. Afterall, you can't upgrade the Formulas :)

I'm only like 4% into the game and completely broke, have been just buying the proposed car each week.

I'll look around in my garage for something usable, but  no racecars in there i'm afraid

56.210 in the Bentley again
It gets pretty squirrely around 204 in that last sweeper.  I'm trying to lock that down at the moment.

Formula Whatchamacallit, standard settings except aids turned off.  10 laps and that's enough R tire model for the month.  :)

Well, if I DON'T cheat and use Swoops car (as I have done in the past) the best I can get is 1'09.172 using a maxed out Option Z.

I haven't tried using Swoops car yet, but we'll see what happens...

55.634

I've been on the pace to hit 55 flat several times, but I always blow it somewhere.  I think 54.5 is doable as I still haven't gotten 6th gear stretched out far enough for that long straight.
