What kind of car are you using? I just got a 7:45 with a Porsche 997T, no ABS, no TCS, no STM, spun out once and got some engine damage halfway through.

 

Make that a 7:36, should have been a 7:10-15 but I spun out on the second to last turn. I was pushing it too hard .

 

how many laps are you guys doing?

 

I'm just doing 1 lap in test drive.

For Time Trials, I have a 6:49 in the 962c.

 

i have a A class E46 M3 it drives on rails. i'm trying to get a S class car to handle and its an uncomfortable ride for me. the more i drive the E46 though the more i memorize the breaking points. i run about 3 laps. usually the tank is about at half and tires would be shot

manual tranny and only assist is ABS

 

Turn ABS off, it's slowing you down by at least 15-20 seconds.

 

i tried w/o abs...it locks on me a few times lol
i need to practice on engine braking and not hitting the brakes too hard.

 

Even if you barely know how to stop without ABS and lock the wheels a bunch of times, it's still a lot better than stopping with ABS on. I've always played on +50% difficulty and I actually just tried with TCS/STM/ABS on and I couldn't believe how pathetically easy it was lol.

If you really want to have a fun challenge, get a Ford GT40MkIV (I think it's the MkIV), upgrade everything (931HP and approx 1700lbs) and take that around the ring. It'll really teach you how to manage power, instead of just mashing the accelerator after every corner.

 

I had a Audi RS6 and it was a big heavy car and to slow it down where i wanted it i threw ABS on and i got comfortable with it. ill try it again soon.

should we go ahead and do a few laps on the ring at a desginated time and run a 3 lap shootout and see what goes?

my gamer tag is firesquare82

 

I'm down for that, I have like $800 million in game so I can buy anything lol. I took advantage of the $ glitch when it was still alive .

 

I'm Carbon Xe on live, so feel free to add me.

 

7:29.215 WRX STi 04. S997 class.

 

7:28.002 Peugeot 207 Super 2000, S996 Class. This thing, without a doubt, is the best stopping and handling car in the game.

I'm excited for this tuning menu

 

And OMG a clutch

 

If only it wasn't $350...

 

I don't think I'd be able to convince myself to spend that much on a video game

 

 

How the fck do you get to level 10 in the Asia region? I want to buy that damn Evo!
