LOL...I think it is all in the wheel, to be honest...I have been working on being smooth rather than fast. I never have had good R1 skills.

Right now I am watching the proof that the American infrastructure is going to hell in a handbasket... The Great American Race - 1 hour of racing, 2 hours of patching pavement...

 :-\  $

Ah, now if that was in Britain it would be 1 hour of racing and 2 hours working out how to add more tax on the motorist without bothering to fix the roads.

Oh, and as you can see from the scoreboards, I can't drive R1 well either :-X

Well, I guess my understanding of when 12 PM happens is a bit different from what goes on in Turn 10 land.  At any rate, the Time Trial that was sposed to be open 'til noon is closed.  Bummer.  I was expecting another shot at it this AM.

So congrats to everyone on the effort they put forth on this.  A special mention to Dirt - he managed to work his way into the top 500 with a 96.  Barumba kept on truckin and worked his way down into the 100s.  BBQ, Detrick, Stank and Spiny and Fit all showed up with great times.  And let's not forget Moctane - a 94 that has him sitting pretty in 27 the place.

And then there is me.  Ah well - properly positioned on the Friends list at any rate.  I did manage to improve myself by 4 seconds on driving only, so there is something to be said for that.  If I could manage a 4 second improvement on every track just on driving alone, wouldn't that be something!

My thoughts are that the new track is a hit.  What do you guys think by now?

One of my favourite venues in PGR3 was this track. Real world , old world. I agree with what has been said about the look and feel. Looks Smooth, feels Rough. Just like a big old German Beer Garden Fräulein. I love it. We had better get the suspension right on this one. This is an old girl and should be treated with respect. If you piss her off, she'll through you and your boys out on the street along with all your toys.  B;)
I like this addition very much!
Cheers!
Well, after several hundreds of laps, I agree with me. LOL.
I have run a few DTM touring cars around her, as well as the light-weight 2=Eleven. Loads of fun to be had. I imagine puting in some time in some C and D cars would yield better understanding of breaking and turn execution points. That Peugeot was sure a handful! What a way to break in a new track.

Fun all the same. :)

Thanks for inviting me, Blooze. Would have missed it otherwise. Now, don't you have a Porsche to warm-up? :)

You bet your booties I do.  Goin' to spend a day on Kaido with the thing for starters.  Then re-race the A Class Champeenship - that ought to fill me in on how many orders of magnitude on the Suck Bell Curve I can establish.

I'm really enjoying this new track, I started out on the first day at the bottom and ran some F class with a few cars, then jumped up to some C class and then some B class just to get a feel for the track and what type of car ran well here and having watched the F1 cars here over the years I found a nice groove pretty quickly.

I think i'm going to start tuning here as its got all kinds of high speed and low speed sections, awkward breaking zones and the Shumacher S is great for tuning high speed turn in and I like all the lumps and bumps and it does make it feel like the modern day equivalent of the old 'ring.

Hey you forgot to mention me and my friends list lagging un-certified time!  I demand my "special" prize.  :P  The track is not bad but two laps in that time trial car and I was on to other things.

FYI, I didn't run it but it looked like this time trial was still open this morning.  It had a yellow star next to it which I think means it's still live?
