My best time on that track is in an [R] NSX. I am less than a second behind until a little more than halfway through then something happens and I end up with what I have. I actually got that exact same time twice. Wierd.
But it just seems like if I could get one perfect lap I could break :57. But I can't, yet.
But I must say this is an enjoyable run and I'll miss it.

Same here. But I kept fudging the 1st turn after the 1st chicane (I guess you could call it the third turn, 2nd right). Taking it too wide and loosing time that way. At my best I'd be redlining 5th gear through that turn. At my worst I had to downshift to keep from hitting the wall 
Another make or break part for me was the 2nd to last right at the top of the hill. You have to go airborn at just the right spot to hit the track in enough time to avoid the wall or slowing down.

I've been playing GT2 for like a 2 years now....i apply real life tuning to GT2.
The site i read it from is www.turnfast.com and other various sites. I'm at the car forums:
www.nasioc.com
www.i-club.com
www.rs25.com
All of these are Subaru car forums. So if you thought right, Subarus are good for cornering and rallying. So i focused on my suspension a lot, which is why i have the best suspension spec on my Subaru Impreza WRX STi Ver VI in GT2 right now FOR ME.
If you want to try the specs out on my WRX for GT2, feel free. Then give me a review on it like how car mags does it. That's if you want.....
I've only started the OLR thing a year ago... Now i have one too! FuJi Racing International. site in my sig.
BTW, you're not too bad your self. It takes a while to get used to the cars limits, and when you know where they are, you'll be doing faster lap times!

I really enjoyed this race...although the lack of tuning got on my nerves a little...The car had great suspension but on the longer sweeping turns like the turn before the straight and the turn after the first chicane, some understeer was apparent...That's why I am looking forward to the Jag/Midfield race, you can tune it! *yay*...I'm already practicing =) I'll beat you one day Fuji *Cliche thunder*

R390 Road Car '97 (won at GTAS Laguna) at Tahiti, no hp upgrades, everything else fair game. Results so far:
FujiK: 57.234
Pupik: 57.955
MidasGT: 57.997
The_Masaru05: 58.002
Kurtis: 58.687
milefile: 58.799
First thing to note, this engine is designed to accept a lot more power, so stock, the peak hp comes well before the redline, and so it will be much more effective in the hands of a competent MT driver. I had to set the gears to only use 5 out of the 6 available in order to get the RPM's to drop low enough on shift up to catch the peak power, and still have to suffer through the sharp drop in power in the last 1000rpms before the AT shifts up again.
59.166 on lap 15 I thought was pretty good for this setup, and I can see myself getting down to the mid 58's, but I'm 100% positive you need to drive MT and use all six gears tightly around the peak power to get into the low 57's.
Edit: oops, I did this with the R390 Road Car '98 instead of the '97, I'll have to try again since the '98 sits at 2.92 kg/hp and the '97 is a little less powerful but much lighter and so achieves a 10% better weight to power ratio of 2.62 kg/hp.
Edit: 58.609 with the '97 R390 Road Car on like lap 12... again could do better, maybe down to 58 given 50 laps with breaks.
