Which version of the Northloop?
Preferably the DutchDevil version, still need time getting used to the Raceking version
I usually play the 24H track, but if you guys prefer the VLN or Tourist track, that's fine too.

Well the low frame-rate is not really the issue (when I turn shadows to medium), but it's more the different feeling I get i.e. at some parts the track is a lot tighter (like a man's anus) and the kerbs are a bit higher.

Definately need more practice, that'll solve the problem for me

Sucks I cant play PS2 or anything since its all packed up and ready to be moved into the house within a week.

But I got a better idea why dont you guys with GTR2 just create an online game and race against each other? Adds to the experience.

Aight, RaceKing version it will be! 8)

What about rules? I normally play without any form of help, not even clutch-help. I've got a G25 and playing the game with three pedals and sequential stick-shift mode (just like the real deal) adds to the experience. I know RC45 has a G25 too, but I don't know about the rest?

Online race would be great but a bit difficult time-wise, since I live in the NL (GMT+01:00). As a matter of fact, I'm going to bed now, it's past 3am here...

Just can't get used to the Raceking version... Driving over those high kerbs seriously upsets the balance of the car, which is a huge problem for me since I'm kind of a kerb-man myself

I'll just stick to the DutchDevil version if you guys don't mind...

i dont think it matters aslong as the track is the same length but i think y ou might encure a penalty time of 5 seconds ?? as its harder for us with the nasty curves ??

i dont know just an idea.

I have no idea how the two tracks compare length-wise. Penalty time sounds fair, but it wouldn't matter a lot anyway cause I think I kinda suck; need a lot more practise...

You really should play without traction control and ABS.
If you play it in real simulation-mode, it'll be a lot harder

I like the idea but I lack console based racing games. I'd like to see such contests, go for it.

Alright, sounds like we have some interest which is good, but we still need a list of what games everyone has that is fun for doing hot laps. Im probobly gonna start a Forza one here later on, just to gague interest in that.
