    Dammit, I just did that and am uploading a vid now lol XD
    But I think I stuffed up, I had the bigger wing on the back. Woops :eek:

    8:04 round the 24Hr, it's all I could muster. I hadn't tried the RWD with the big turbo before...what a fun warmup lap it was lol!

    An absolute rocket in a straight line, such a great feeling, hearing the turbo spooling up, then squirming and struggling to get it's power down while the thing squats down and blasts through the gears. Very addictive, great modelling, great skinwork, great driving sensations, wonderful tyres and a truly memorable car.

    You have my biggest thanks to everyone who came together and worked on this, and especially to Mr. Palatov and Hoosier. Really wonderful to see such support from them, not just a dismissal and a threat of court action which seems to be all too common with modders now.
    :D :D

    Ha ha great that you tried the challenge. I will do a lap today and upload too. Even though you used the wrong wing I would still like to watch your lap.

    Transfagarasan with the same spec car? Anyone? :D

    Those blurry, flashy, shady promo videos are pushing me away.

    Were you using the longest gear ratios?

    This and Longford. I really like the idea that top-quality (and legal) mods can pass some internal ISI-test and make it to the official download and launcher pages. A goal for all modders to aspire to!

    No, the only thing i changed was the FFB multiplier, down to 64%.
    I didn't have the time to setup, and the challenge is only to do a clean lap :D

    Very nice work to the guys behind this mod and thank you very much. ;)

    they can in the trackday :S

    can a non-alien do me a big favor & do a hotlap at laguna seca (the new-ishh one, still has really bright yellow line but doesnt look like a cartoon? really good curb textures? versions 1.0/1.14 i seem to have?)

    trackday, default setup, r dots?

    i was really proud of myself in private practice & then found i was 3.5s off the pace set by one tim wheatley...
