Has anyone driven the S2000 04 car as well as the S2000 LM Race Car to post times for this TT?

Which car has the edge, considering they have been set up with changes?

Nice Imperial to Metric conversion there Cliffy :lol: Oh nice time by the way :ouch::) Thought you had beaten me with the S2000 for a minute :lol::cool:

If it's wrong, Google did it. I still can't do it on the fly. :dunce:

That Honda has some kick, that's for sure. Every time I'm in front and look back, you're rapidly gaining. You did a fast lap, mate! 👍

It feels like the (LM vs. Opera) LM has the ability to endure as it lives up to its name. However, the Opera was made like a Time Attacker gone raw, and there is considerable amount of grip between the two. In the LM, I didn't burn through turns, they felt shallow up until the chicane. While the Opera S2000 '04 felt like it was going commando on the course. Overall, both had laps as they follow and the Opera is definitely the better for your $$$ and rank: 1:27.708 Opera - 1:28.726 LM
(Update! @ 7:12 pm Opera pulled a 1:27.342 and LM 1:28.081)

My son tried to B-spec a TS030 to 500pp for me on the account I made over the holiday. He gave up doing races after two days and taped the joystick on the DS3 to have a slight right turn and taped the X button down, 24 hours later after endless laps around Indianapolis...500pp and 5th place.

Not a very pretty lap because I had to shift to make the car go good, that ended the fun for me quickly.
He was so proud when he woke up and the car was still doing laps, now if I can just get him to clean his room, lol.

I'm using Praiano's tune. See post 54, that was where I started. You have to join GTWorld to access Praiano's tunes now as he is not here anymore.
I don't think I would be allowed to post his tune here.

Ok then I can see it the same tune I use, so I have to se if I can get the corkscrew the right way at Laguna Seca. HATE that turn

They're just numbers... can't see the harm in that.

No mate, they're not just numbers, they are Praiano's numbers. His personal property.
Join GTWorld and ask him if you can post his tune here. He may well say OK as he was always very helpful when he was here. But I would not abuse my membership by doing so without his OK, sorry.
PS, I applied for membership last night (OZ time) and by morning I was in. Easy as.

And Soren, I find that short shifting can help sometimes.
 
Alright, though I have zero desire to run his tune, or numbers. But you're telling me if I just happen to come to the same numbers he has, and post them, they're his?

No way, mate. They are not his personal property. Intellectual property maybe, but even then, no they're not.

Won't argue about it Cory, but I always ask the tuner if I can post their tune. I see that as simply good manners.
Join up and you'll be able to peruse all his tunes.
 
Guess who we have cheating his way to #1 spot again?????

A lovely set of EXTRA-WIDE tyes ensures that SpeedBloo AKA BrunoBlak AKA XTR_RACINGG does not make any slippery mistakes on his lap. :rolleyes:

And for comparison, here is my S2000 equipped with the regular width RH tyres.....

When will it end, he has been exposed to the world as a cheater and should know that it's neither big nor clever and he deserves no respect from anyone, and he is a fool if he thinks otherwise. :irked: 🤬🤬

I highly doubt anyone that knows any better actually respects the dude.

I really don't see the point. There's nothing to gain, nothing to be had. And it's not like you can put him on the spot and he'd do just as good. Pretty much a loser, really.
