Short 1/2 hour session to get the feel of the car before falling asleep at the wheel. Good thing its not real.
EDIT
When I can benefit from the previous fast t1 of 26.063 I should be in good shape. Still early.

This car has some weird handling characteristics. For example, taking the final hairpin in a certain way can generate wheel spin (you'd expect under steer from a FWD with wheel spin) and over steer....

Since it's downhill, if you don't do all of your braking in a straight line and before the turn, you'll lose the ass end. And I noticed the wheel spin as well. This is not the first car I've had that issue with in that spot, I'm just using throttle control until it settles.
I also noticed in a few sections that it's faster to partially lift to improve turn in during high speed turns than it is to stay on the gas and scrub tires.
That's the great thing about Mid-Field, it's basically about the car when we drive here, since the track is so straightforward.

Ran a short session to get a feel for the car.

It always amazes me how each car is different. I expected understeer but got none in turns 1 and 2 where the line is the same as for any rear drive on race tires, the following esses do exhibit understeer as I expected, but the turn into the tunnel is completely unlike anything else (and I have yet to figure it out) and the rest of the lap seems like every other car.

I like the combo, but here's what happened. I played for an hour and half with R2s without noticing. I was amazed by my splits, so after playing so long, I checked once again and then I see it says Super Hard.
I tried then for a half and hour with R1s, but was doing 0'26.2 on T1 so I stoped playing. Try again tomorrow.

Well...I had another session:
pick up .4 overall and used 3rd gear coming out from the last tide corner.
T1 25.914
T2 50.691

T2 50.966
Using a g25 this week - first impressions (coming from a karting background and left foot braking) the wheel is more precise to steer with but easier to drag the brake than the DS2. As there is no power on oversteer evident with the cars that are picked for the WRS the ability to control throttle inputs isnt a drama which is a shame but I suppose the game was designed to be used with the hand controller.
Will submit on these splits.

Will submit on these splits.
This is my last race of the GT4 WRS. After this, I'll quit playing GT4. I'd like to sign off with a win, therefore I'm giving this a serious shot.
My current splits are:
25.753 (seen .692)
50.291
I used 220 gearing (shame it hits the limiter, but it's much better than 230) and there's still 0.1 to get.
The combo is awesome, simple but great fun. Another good choice by Sphinx.
I'd like to thank Jerry for all the effort he's put into the series, as well as everyone who participated during the period I've been active here
(over 1 year, this will be my 55th submission in 56 weeks, only skipped week 119 due to vacation). Racing here with you guys has been great, I'm looking forward to enjoy this again in GT5, both online and offline. Though I won't participate anymore, I'll keep an eye on this forum to see how it's going.
One more thing, I'll probably need someone to get my replay before the deadline (after I give this another session) and post it at the results thread, since I'll be away for some weeks, from Tuesday on, and I don't know if I'll have an internet connection.

I gave it another try, and got to:
T1: 25.867
T2: 50.824
It is still kinda weird that this car seems to behave like a rear wheel drive car at some points on this track.
Edit> Too bad you're leaving us here CMir. But I'll see you on GT5p somewhere far ahead in the distance at some time.
