I run no driving aids at all. I could've knocked it into the 1'01.9XX range but I went wide in the final corner and scrubbed off some speed.

Ok, i know this sounds crazy.... But i'm at laguna seca and for some reason the damn game is not recognizing the best lap anymore. It wasnt a record but it was about 1'30ish. Has anybody else had this problem?
Nice nick, like I said i'm coming for ya. May be tommorrow, but i'm coming for ya.
NL you gonna give a rip soon?
Well 1'29.9ish so far at Laguna.........but its bed time. Peace

Yea that happens at Laguna sometimes, I suspect it's from cutting the pit exit too tight. If you aren't doing that though, then I have no clue.

Damn...nice work fellas, I'm going to have to bust out the GT4 tomorrow and see if I can't retake some circuits  The Nurburgring is my first concern....

Looks like i'm the only one thats not to effiecient at the ring right now...Probably cause I havnt lapped it much  I can beast the first half, but that second half aint doing if for me.
It might take me a bit, but i'll get there with you guys
Well I be damn. It looks like our friend nicktheskater is a well known GT4 beast (according to the IGN boards). Well son, you got a new challenger.
I am enlightend to be in the mist of many skilled virtual drivers. 8)

I bought a DB9 last night and thought I did some quick laps to only find out I was over 4 seconds off from Vanquish's time
You guys are nuts.

I did shitty on that track.... my guess is because i just dont know the apexes, and find that track boring...

I got the 'ring down to a 7:02.89 and I had a flying lap going nearly 3.4 seconds faster than that, but fucked up the last turn before the long straight and lost it all. So for those unbelievers out there, a sub 7:00 lap in the '02 NSX-R is certainly doable.

Well...SS R5 is a bit of a pain in the ass...the apexes are easy enough to see but the actual clipping points that you want to use are often not where you expect them to be...the best advice anyone can really give is probably just to be really smooth and try and transition from brake to accel and vice-versa as smoothly as possible so as not to end up with the tires losing grip...
My sort of rule of thumb is to keep the car from sliding whenever possible. I basically try and keep the tires from talking at all if I can.

Ok nickthaskater, Your time at Tuskuba and Laguna are really annoying me.........
So far
1'02.4xx at Tuskuba
1'29.7xx at Laguna
about .3 off on both :x
The annoying this is that I can see at least 4 tenths of time at Tuskuba
and probably near 8 theths of time at Laguna. Just cant seem to put it together without freaking something else up yet. 
Im proud to say my Nurburgring efficiency (and learning) is slowly getting better. I lapped a ~7'30 with 2 wrecks and many terribly missed clipping points. I imagine when I learn the track, i'll be running with you folks.
Anyway, at work.........peace
