    I'm just trying to piss you off and start a good contest. If I talk a bunch, you guys will try to beat me. And that makes things fun. Right now I'm just trying to get a good time because I'll be leaving wednesday morning for sno*drift and would like to have a good base so I don't have to worry about a time to beat while I'm out there.

    The only reason I picked Laguna is because of the steep penalties for going off. With Seattle you could hit a wall and still keep going. If you go off this track, the lap is useless, it makes you more cautious and therefor more difficult. Which for me is more fun.

    yeah, unless you know this stupid track like the back of your hand. lol, my big drawback is going to be the car, i ALWAYS am using a subaru on this track, the Bimmer will prove to be one challenge for me

    Come on, it takes ten minutes to make 500,000 credits in this game. Besides, the CSL is freakin' awesome! :biggrin:

    Yeah, I know. Still.

    I can't seem to get below 1:25, but I haven't tweaked the suspensions yet.

    Laguna is really hard to get right. Carrying a ton of speed through the last corner before going up the hill toward the carousel is huge. Also getting around the final hairpin quickly is pretty difficult. Its just hard to see what you're doing in hairpins like that in GT. Much easier in real life.

    i honestly think the key turn is the cork screw, i have won a ton of races there and when i have pushed to hard i have blown them there as well

    ok after trying again for a few hours im getting consistant 1'18's
    this track is fun but its deceving in maby ways. so many blind turns and the depth of feild from it being a videogame makes it harder. once you get a good time down its all a game of beating the ghost. its starting to get me mad more and more because im trying to wait out my breaking points little by little and if i make the slightest mistake i go sliding off the track. REsTART! lol
    your 1'15 sec lap is impressive but im getting the settings down on the M3 and ill be trying different tweaks with each race. the trick isnt to make the car as stiff ass possible....most of the time

    getting lower!!!!

    now my best is 1'18.182sec

    This is my best time, I'm leaving for sno*drift at 4am so I'm not going to get a chance to best it. I know I can do better, but it would take some time. So here it is.

    Go start and stop ten races to get the days to go by. Then check again. Sorry for picking a rare car, it seemed kinda fun to do the bugeye instead of the spec c.
