42.834....
Seems to be a problem, FPV obviously supplied my car with 500KG of weights in the boot....its the only explanation i can come up with as to why this things scrapes its arse under acceleration and understeers like its trying to shred its tyres...can one of you aussie guys please confirm this car isnt this bad in real life???

...... ive seen people who strap engines into armchairs before and can confirm they do indeed handle better than the "GT"

The car drives a whole lot better IRL. The power and weight feel fine (yes it really is that heavy) but the suspension is way too soft in the game. But you have to remember that this car has not been designed as a real sports car, it is a poser based on a family sedan.Dave_George
Before any of the other Aussies hassle me - YES, I am a Falcon man through and through, but the stock car is still a poser. Go Seton!!

Nice one Dave,
Ah well, was top of the board for a while at least...
For a laugh(
) took this car to the test course........It took 3/4 of the lap to get from 145mph (4th) to 177 in 5th!
The 5th gear must be an overdrive, thank god we won't be having to use it this week.

I think my game is defective, they forgot to put brakes and a steering device on this car, anyone else run into this glitch. But it sure brings back memorys of driving a school bus, except the school bus handled a bit better. No wonder I've never heard of this particular collection of car parts(they do use car parts, right?) I envy you guys in Australia, being able to drive on both sides of the road, when you manage to get on a road with this incredable POS. I thought the Yugo was bad....sorry Yugo. This is gonna be fun, hope I peak early, so I can delete this thing from my garage. How much do I have to pay to get rid of it.

Sorry Dave! 
New T1 of 41.978 👍 👍
The car is still a bloated wart-hog, and grip is none existant. Plus once it gets out of shape (oversteer-wise) it's completely impossible (for me that is) to drift with control.
As you apply countersteer, it starts to respond correctly, then snaps your arms off at the elbow and either piles into a wall or spins-out!
It's like being high-sided on a bike!
Frustrating.
But will keep at it!

CFMLOL, you guys have gotten spoiled by the ridiculously unrealistic levels of grip that R5's offer over the last few weeks. Back to reality people.
Well you could at least have weaned us off them by letting us use sports tyres this week.
Cruel Fiendish Misscreant

especially braking on bend 1 and 2 .... eventually I got a clean lap with 41.196 as my sector.

Sooo many Casio signs...., and the track I suggested during the week! 👍.
Now even though jase86 is in D1, He is still my target this week, I've been waiting for a car without Tyres-of-Glue to give him a real show. (I hope...)
I'll give this a run right now!

I say your driving it well mate and you'll soon be all over my sector 👍
It aint easy at all but i suppose these combos actually grow on people more the ones with heavier cars and a brake timing test on the main bends! they are frustrating yet a great challenge to your mind
I think I'll be enjoying this more on my next session.I reckon I can push around a 40.7ish sector 1 eventually ... that would be about my limit there 👍 .... I'd need to borrow Hotboi's shoes to take any more than that
Laters 👍

Starting to get the hang of this beast, I'm really glad we're using normal tyres this week, racing on super slicks is fun and all but I like the difficulty of this better. Here's my new split:
T1: 0'41.498
Unfortunately I don't really know what makes a good T1-Finish but I'll just keep throwing this bus around till I knock another second or two off I guess.
Here's a couple of stats if people want to compare:
Cross Start/Finish Speed: 189km/h (Can't seem to get 190?!?)
First left kink after S/F speed: 170km/h (Don't think I could go round any quicker)
I'm liking this week already 👍

for any1 saying the car is a tank
just imagine putting your RL car onto the limits, the freaking tires will not give the grip you expect
the Road tires show that once pushed past the limit of the grip from the tires, the car will not turn.....
so either slow down... or keep giving yourself understeer

Wow i dont even remember the last time i participated in WRS! Well i couldn't stay away any longer and gave this round a little session. I think we should be using normal tires A LOT more often .
So far, i've managed a T1 of 0'41.178. Still need to correct a couple of brake points in T1 and i should have a 0'40 T1.
