no NOS either.

Think I've just botched up my lsd settings.

I'll give it another go.

Took 2 seconds off with some settings changes, but still a very untidy lap....however, if it was perfect i still doubt it'd be a 1:20...so i dont know how you get that

Ran 1:27.335 with the F6 Typhoon, full mods (no LSD), no NOS, Auto gearbox : 5/5/5 ASM/TCS.

Going to give it a go later with lower ASM and maybe an LSD.

Is that the US muscle car one? I used a worked Mercury XR-7, in the professional league I used either my fully worked AC Cobra (bye bye everyone) or my mildly worked E-type.

I did my best lap in lap number 28 (my screenshot tells the tale), so NOS had been used up 27 laps earlier :
i also had all driver aids set to zero, but I still haven't tried a lap with a wing on it. Might give it a go later tonight

well you must have absolute freak car setups to get those times with no NOS....

are you playing in career mode and just going to free run yeah, so that tyre wear is off...

Damn, and I had trouble getting my fastest lap time of 1:28.something. I can see I've got a lot more work to do, on my car setup (FPV F6 Typhoon) and my technique...

Difficult track, one where you can get a lot of time from suspension setup as I found out. Original setup was getting me 1.22s, then i spent a while mucking around and now it does 1.21 flat all the time!

Off topic, but still on GT4 topic, does anyone know how to change your name in GT4? I got some gt4 data copied off a mate because mine got corrupt and his says Rob's Garage or whatever and I'm not Rob, lol.

I think your stuck on that one...lol

Also I find it a bit hard to believe that you are getting sub 1.25 without NOS; but good on ya if you do.

looks like im going to have to fiddle with the car damn it.

In reference to the old cars, the e-type kills the euro class, and some old dodge (i think, looks like an impala) absolutely flogs the AC Cobra. Ill get the name in a sec.

Bugger. I was hoping my time would hold fast but alas, it has been tumbled.

After losing all my cars I've subsequently lost my setup, and can't for the life of me find that sweet spot I had. I'm in the 1:22s atm... Getting quicker, slowly. We shall see if I can take back the throne.

EDIT: 1:21.354... I hope you're still practicing BA GT-HO... I'ma coming for ya :yeees:

EDIT: 1:21.020... Can you feel the love?

EDIT: 1:20.873 :Up_to_som
