Give it a shot. The most important thing (in real life as well) is knowing the line. Another important factor is control. A car that is setup in such a way that it inspires confidence in the drive will be easier to push to the limit. Nurburgring tends to be very bumpy so i set the shocks slightly lower than standard but up the springs a little bit...too stiff either way and the car will lose control over bumps (especially since there are many bumps mid corner on nurburgring). Good Luck!

I couldnt beat 7 minutes 12 i think it was. Only had 2 laps.

[geargrabber]

Well, I'm down to 6'45.xx The faster I get the slower it feels, weird. I hope they program the game more realistically for AWD cars next time around. Suby's do not really have that "binding" feeling in the drivetrain.

[EVILZ33]

damn you guys kicked the shit outa me but ionly tried once

[GTIKEN]

Heh, well, as they say in racing "slower is faster." Its probably just a result of getting used to the speed.

[geargrabber]

I used the driving force pro wheel at a friends last night. What a profound difference. If I gave it a rip with this challenge I would bet on a ten second reduction on the first lap. Good god the things I have been missing using the controller. Wow.

[Shmately]

Go race the Ruf BTR or any other RR car, then this might actualy be fun.

Correcting oversteer at 190+ in the suby?

I didn't think so.

[GTIKEN]

Care to kick things off Shmately?
