Being this the last race from Cyril as the race steward of WRS, I just had to give it a go again. Only my PS2 and DFP were collecting dust in a box for quite some time already, but after being set under pressure by Dion I reinstalled them tonight 
My session was too short to drive a spectacular time, but with this lovely combo I got the hang of it again soon 👍 Lost little over a tenth compared to my personal best in the first sector, messed up in the hairpin in the 2nd section and made a tiny mistake after T2. Could see myself going 0.5-0.6 faster atm, but ended with this splits from my fastest lap:
T1: 34.522
T2: 1'16.536
DFP
Enjoy your spare time from now on, Cyril!

great track - difficult but fun car. trying to follow dan's line through the curves and - that's a FIRST for me - using mt rather than at this time:
38.248 - 1.25.113
but lots of time to be found at about every curve. too bad this week is so short for me, especially since this is cyril's goodbye-combo (bit dissed he didn't pick french le mans to make it a perfect french leave tho).
back for more.

Good news Steven - MT is waaay faster. No annoying downshifts, no annoying early upshifts. Still with aids, though? Get on MSN...
I can see myself beating my T2 by about 0.3, if I nail the downhill hairpin. Perhaps 0.5 in the combo, but my T1 was too quick - I couldn't ever make another first corner like this one, it was disturbingly quick.

Not slow, I am content with the time I've driven. But I missed my braking point for the hairpin by a car length
Normally your fastest lap doesn't contain a big mistake... So I'm happy with my run, but with some more time I can improve significantly.
And Madforce, just stick with the DFP! Last RPC you showed you know how to use it

Oh-Yeah! More time, baby!
T1: 0'35.841, minor improvement.
T2: 1'18.716!!!
And 0.5 faster over the line...
Didn't mess up the braking for the downhill this time, but didn't manage to go flat-out on the second of the double-right, and went down to 120 on the sweeper - cost me a 0.2 compared to my previous time, I guess.
Now I need a replay-checker, because of this little spot, after the first corner - I got two wheels on the grass, which is Ok, but since walls are invisible, AND there's a small hill which causes a jump, I can't be sure by myself... Replay available free of charge for volunteers (Is a +rep counted as payment?)
EDIT: Fifth time I'm watching this, still no walltouch detected (by me and my sister)
Some pictures:
Front:
Back:
Also, small question: How do people change the pictures in the replay? Normally, mine shows the view from second-1, but, especially in WRS68, Many people had much different pictures on - how?

Hello everybody! I 've just seen action replay max... It contains only 2 cds but there's no maxdrive or something like that in package... One cd with cheets and another with programs... But they say that with program disc you can use an ordinary flash to travel data. I 've got a flash kingston. Don't you know, will it work this way? The only reason to buy it is to use it to prove lap times...

Submitted from my first and only session last week. A little birdie said I got smoked in the final sector by a certain "small tasty fatty tuber". 
But it was a fun race, and certainly fun mixing it up in WRS the last year and a half.
Bye all! See you down the road! 👍

I found out that my first time was actually unsaved, and that I have no time to submit. No time to re run either.
I feel so stupid it's crazy, on Cyril's final race too...

I'm not sure I'm afraid, mine came with 2 mini-cd's, one you use in the PS2 and one was software for the PC and it also came with a USB Flash stick. I've tried other flash sticks and they don't work...however, Dan (holl01) lost his flash stick and bought a standard USB flash stick that does work. Perhaps someone else knows more about the Action Replay maxdrive???

My maxdrive snapped ages ago and have been using an old mp3 player with a flip out usb on it and its so covenient I never bothered buying a new maxdrive 
basically it looks like all anybody would need to do if possible is download the maxdrive ps2 software if available ( not sure if they are downloadable as I still use the original mini disc ) and find a usb storage gadget that will light up the blue icon 👍
I even tested an olympus camera and that was happy to do the job also

Sweet 👍 Sounds like I was the exception with neither of my spare USB's working, rather than the norm

To the best of my knowledge Steve is done with GT4 but may be back for GT5 depending on how it is with online capabilities as he is hooked on GTL online at the moment
Yup, yup, and nope.
I will still lurk and peek in from time to time on the WRS to keep abreast of the dramas, but honestly lost my motivation to play GT4 quite a while ago. GTL and GTL online is such a blast that I'm sure it will keep me occupied till GT5 comes out. I have high hopes as we all do.
I have made such good friends in the GT4 world, that I can't see divorcing myself from that world. As Ahnold would say, "I'll be back!"
keeponrollin' indeed!
Steve
