Nice pics. 👍 Looks pretty intense when everyone's running so close together early.
For tonight, what exactly is the plan? Were you planning to do full races or half distance? Personally, I would enjoy running some half distance races tonight, just to get a feel for it. Plus I don't know how many people are going to show up. If it's a thin crowd, we may get spread out and it won't be as exciting if we run full races.

Sounds awesome, i should be able to make it tonight. Even if a few minutes late
Great!
How do you know you didn't have 17+ drivers trying to race? The room was full!
I knew we didn't have 17+ drivers last week because we only had 15 drivers until 7 or 8 minutes after the hour. SprintCupChamp1 sent me a PSN message asking us to wait, which I did. Then I checked the GTP thread and the PSN for any messages. Finally, after using the Jedi mind trick, I decided to start qualifying.

I know. I wish we could run a race at Le Mans in it. Maybe in 53 weeks we can put it on the schedule.
Let's play with it Wednesday after practice.

Am I the only one who hates that car?? 
That time trial is the only damn thing I haven't golded in the whole game. I can't get the car to turn, especially in the final corner.

It takes the last corner fine at exactly 200 mph. Just hold the pedal down.Am I the only one who hates that car??

If I try that, I'm on my side grinding against the outside wall.It takes the last corner fine at exactly 200 mph. Just hold the pedal down.
Actually, my very first try in the time trial, I did in fact do that. Very first turn (or last turn, whatever...you know, before the lap started). Didn't even make it to the straightaway.

Guess it's a controller limitation on steering lock then.

That's what I was thinking. When I looked at the top times for friends, I'm the first person using a controller. I can keep up when I see the others' racing lines up until the final corner, then they all pull away as I slide up towards the wall (those using the wheel of course).Guess it's a controller limitation on steering lock then.

Don't be proud, use all the aids like I do.

I really don't want to, but I could use the extra dough (credits, if you will). Do the aids really work?Don't be proud, use all the aids like I do.

Well all I have to do is look at the first page of this thread: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/chevrolet-chaparral-2x-vgt-super-lap-high-speed-ring.321223/ and suspicions confirmed.
Looks like the trick may be turning ASM on according to those in the thread. Gonna give it a try. Wish me luck!

I think I'm sitting at 44.6 with no aids. Go for it.Well all I have to do is look at the first page of this thread: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/chevrolet-chaparral-2x-vgt-super-lap-high-speed-ring.321223/ and suspicions confirmed.

Yeah. You and your wheel.I think I'm sitting at 44.6 with no aids. Go for it.
Edit: Got it! ASM did the trick. I was slightly slower in turn 1, but it did wonders throughout the rest of the corners, especially the final one. I swallowed my pride, but will gladly take the extra 400,000 credits that I couldn't achieve earlier with just a silver. Time: 45.975.
Edit 2: Found this funny. Other than myself (thanks to the aid), you can tell the wheel users from the DS3'ers. Looking at around at least 2.5 seconds. That's a pretty big gap. Did PD even test the Chaparral with a DS3?

Yes, they work well. I even use driving line for cars I've never driven and tracks I've never driven on. But, I only use them for seasonals.
