Since creds for mods is so low, everyone remember that some mods can't be undone... weight redux, port/polish, and engine balance.  If ya get any of those, you have to buy a new car to take'em off (and those creds back to your available ones).

This one oughta be fun =)

I'm gonna get worked on this one so bad it's not even funny.  Grand Valley has wavered between my least liked and most hated course ever since GT1.

I haven't run it yet, but I'd say wing. That extra downforce will save you more seconds in a corner than the extra would get you in the straights.

I'm going to try a wing to get rid of the understeer.  Damn I hate non-N tires.  :)

Swoop and Nash are used to listening to me whine about the rules.  :)

Here's something for you PS2-deprived guys.  I think Nash mentioned before that he wanted to see what a lap actually looked like.  I'm going to try to put one of these up each week with my best lap.

Nice lap.

Mine's making less power than yours.  Bout 5BHP less.  Crossing the line around 1-2 mph slower.......

And yeah, knocking some of the downforce off the rear really improved things, still gotta wait for the tyres to bite before getting hard on the power out of corners though.

Btw, turning off all the driving aids knocked a whole second off my lap at the first attempt.

Side note:


Wadda ya reckon to a rules option......instead of choosing car, track and mod $ limit all the time, how about having the option to choose track and a spending limit and letting people pick what car to spend the money on?

Just as an option.....not every week.
