Done a 1:35.3, can't remember the exact numbers, will post them later. Theoretical best is a 1:34.9/35.0 atm, but haven't hooked up a lap yet. :)
 
I hit 1:37.122, I can hit the 36's by later tonight but I am skeptical of the 34's. I'm just getting too loose right in the final sections
 
I ran a 1.38499 psn notsoginja_ninja still learning the track and the car haven't spent to much time running comfort softs lol
 
A wild ti-tech has appeared and his ever chasing Racer X, Immortalpilot, thus has pounced.

A few big heavy hitters skipped the electric carnival and are now ready to give a real go at a tougher combination that's sure to spread out gaps in the top ten more than before.
 
I highly doubt we'll improve that much. Even in last year's main qualifier, with a new, longer track and a trickier car to drive, the #1 time only improved by 1.2 seconds from the end of day 1.

I reckon at most, we might see a few aliens get into the 1:33's, if any.
I am thinking about the same, 1:33.5's is my guess. Awesome job guys!

I currently have a 1:36.047 with a messy last sector, if I can clean that up I might be in the 1:35.8's. I think that will be close to my max. As of 1 hour ago, I am 29th in U.S. :D (Probably will not last for long!)

1:36:095 hate this its more like rallyecross then ciruit racing
I agree, but I love it!
 
1:35.808

This combo is Aces, right up my alley. I'm basically at my limit now, I'd be lucky to trim another .1 or even .05 I'm also .001 away from making the website leaderbaord, darn! :lol: 14th (I think) in the US for now *daydream*

Interesting combo, I quite like most of the lap, but the chicane can be very annoying and definitely is a lap breaker! Weirdly on my fastest lap I got the chicane right but lost out on a much easier corner! But it just means the time is available for me! I've uploaded my current fastest!

 
A quick half hour tonight got me a far better result than last night. Still got plenty of work to do though. At least I'm more awake this time around, lol.

1:36.570 Falango GTP_Falango
 
I gave up, this is way too stressful, almost want to break my controller. Comfort softs with this spin out heavy car isn't fun at all. Kinda cheap from PD if you ask me.

I keep loading different ghosts to chase and the best I could do is 1:38:1 something, soo close to gold but when your doing well, the tires go red or the best is that next to last left turn (the S), there are times the wheel just locks for no reason, can't turn, thanks PD!

I'll try again when I cool down, can't remember having this much difficulty last year with this car, must be the track then.
 
1:38.012... So close to gold. I think its the first corner where i'm losing time. More attempts tonight!
 
.... Seriously I am hating the no grip... I am just struggle to comes to terms... Best I have done is a 1:35.8XX and for the life of me I can't get any closer than that... How some of you guys are getting on and under 1:35 is just completely insane... I don't understand how the #1 is 1.1 seconds faster.... I am almost thinking of giving up and not putting in single another lap....
 
Ran a 1:38.3 and couldn't get the lap down anymore, downloaded the fastest ghost lap for help and got it down to 1:38.1. However, where I'm get terrible understeer and 'red' tyres, he's going faster, braking later and turning tighter.

Might turn down.the steering sensitivity, see if that helps
 
I made a short stint before going to work and sat a 1:36.348. But seriously guys, I feel like PD is pulling my leg on this gta edition, at least on these first two rounds. Certainly I like the track, but driving this car is kinda nightmare, it's easier to skate on a oil pool than drive this car, and believe me, I skated on a oil pool :lol:

Not a very good ad campaign for Nissan actually

Well, the point isn't selling more Nissan cars (although that could be a kind of hidden motive). It's to see if you're a good enough driver in order to turn you into a pro.

Well, it's not the main point, but it is an important point of the whole thing. I'm not complaining about my lack of driving skills, I know about my limitations and I'm not willing to reach even the national finals, but seriously they could have done much better.
