i missed the 1:41 mark by 4 thousandths of a second. i feel like it was a pretty shitty lap so i kay try again tomorrow even if my lap still stands at the top.

Has nothing to do with anyone, hahaha. Just not in the mood for some gaming anymore.
Before anyone says anything, I know this isn't perfect, but it took forever so deal with it!
Time to go try and knock some time off of my "star in a reasonably priced car" lap.
I was able to take a second off, but still need to somehow take off 3 more.
I haven't set any ghosts but I guess I should, so that I can follow the line. I am still in last place....
The attention to detail in this game is crazy. This is a picture of the headlight of a GT500 and look at the reflection of the bridge at Laguna Seca. Crazy.
Now I am pissed this picture has the badge thing on the bottom. I didn't realize taking a picture was like a screen shot. This car is impossible to keep in a straight line. It has 912hp.
My biggest problem is coming into Bacharach I can't see the apex since the road is so wide (and i'm playing on a shitty tv) and usually lose alot of time...

My problem is every turn. Haha I seem to really struggle with the hammerhead and Bacharach.
I was thinkin about it on my way home... I have three problem corners... The first corner, hammer head, and then the second to last corner when I don't get it right(75% of the time) I end up deep in the grass...

I've been looking at trucks lately as we need one to haul recent stuff we've been buying. I've always had a hard on for the older FZJ80 Land Cruisers and came across this cool video on YT. I think this is going to be my new hobby.
So I can't watch replays or turn on ghosts because I don't have a hard drvie. NOT COOL!
And for the sake of making it easier to talk about what corner you are good/bad at here are the names of them all.
Danny: your map is not right. The corners are labled correctly but the map itself is wrong if your gonna use it to analize it to improve your time. I used this or google maps image of the airfield which works better.

The first corner you need to follow my line and then perfect it. It was kinda sloppy but you'll get the idea. I think you guys are missing the apex and getting on the power too late and/or holding oo tight of a line through it. If you watch Jojo's replay, you can see he carried too much speed in and started sliding the car to compensate and his exit speed suffered.
When we get to chicago we have different lines. Jojo start wide and crosses in while I tend to stay tight and follow the "suggested line." I think Jojo has the right idea here but my method works as long as you can get on throttle quick enough and modulate it so that you A) don't lose traction and B) waste valuable time understeering on corner exit.
Hammerhead is a bitch. Just remember that turning while braking is a very bad idea on such a tight corner. Brake slightly early till you get the feel of it and you wanna split it up into two separate corners. The first part that veres to the left and the second part is the reducing radius right hander that leads onto the straight.
1st part: Make sure your off the brakes and cut the corner a little bit. You will likely knock over 1-2 cones but thats ok. As you transition to the second part you may need to TAP the brakes to transfer weight of the rear tires and onto the front tires to help rotate the car if you came in to hot to begin with.
2nd part: Stay smooth and again modulate the throttle to limit wheel spin and time killing understeer.
Your gonna have to shift from 3rd to 4th at some point before slowing down for Bacharach. You'll want to do it after Bently and make sure the vehicle speed is 90/91mph. Shift before bently and you'll scrub too much speed exiting the corner. I've tried holding onto 3rd gear but you bounce the limiter at 93mph and by utilizing 4th properly you can hit 95mph before laying on the brakes.
Bacharach and gambon.... Don't follow the "suggested line" through Bacharach! Cut in early and carry as much speed through it as possible onto the super short straight linking the two final corners. You'll have to slam on the brakes and take a poor line through Gambon by doing this and your exit speed will suffer, but since its only a few yards to the start finish line it doesn't matter.
NOTE 1: If your not using the clutch, your losing a substantial amount of time!
NOTE 2: If your using TCS or ASM, your losing a substantial amount of time (moreso than no clutch).
NOTE 3: If your using the clutch and not lifting to shift, your losing some time.

It has been nice knowing you Jeremy...
See Ronel... You're lucky you can't go that fast...

Although any accident at ~120+mph isn't going to be pretty, this really isn't an accurate representation as the brick wall doesn't give any. If you were have a head on collision with another vehicle, that other vehicle will absorb some of the impact. Still an impressive impact regardless.

I will be there after work.
Utt and Corbin are in town, we don't have anything better to do anyway so might be out.
