TO NITROUS OR NOT TO NITROUS
that is the question, is it more noble to lay off the juice as we go, or shall we throw caution to the wind and hammer the hell out of the NOS button in our pursuit of glory?
great track and car choices looking forward to round 2

Yeah, I forgot to mention that to Terronium... I generally don't use it, but it IS tempting having that little bottle symbol sitting there all innocent looking right after you've botched your corner exit.
I'd rather we didn't use the laughing gas for the competition, and to remove the black temptation I uninstalled it from the Vette. Hopefully that's agreeable to everyone.

Road America is definately not one of my stronger tracks like London River is, but I enjoy the car and the challenge!

Grrr. Patch came out, so I downloaded it from the Singapore PSN Store. Nothing. Deleted, downloaded from the Hong Kong PSN Store. Nothing. Deleted EVERYTHING, reinstalled and still nothing.
I give up. The game just isn't worth the hassle it takes to play any more. Good luck guys. See you in GT5.

Yeek!
It looks like I'm the one playing catch-up on this track! I was mildly pleased to have run a 2:11.00! I just haven't been able to put it all together yet. Always a couple of corners where I mess it up... Glad I have a bit of time off for practice!
Imari, I'm sorry to see you having trouble, because who really knows when GT5 will actually be released.
Maybe you'll get desperate enough for your racing fix to give Shift another go.

Nah, just it doesn't show me any of the new cars. Spoils a lot of the fun.
I'll still be using shift to hotlap the 'ring, cos it's super fun. Shift has it's moments, I've just been getting more of the "this is a badly made game" moments than "this is a fantastic experience" moments recently. I'll probably get bored in a few weeks and tinker with it some more.
Anyway, enough of thread derail.

1. This competition is limited to the use of the 1967 Chevrolet Corvette
2. You must use the settings provided by RT C2 CERV

4. Handling model must be set to Professional.
5. Damage effects must be set to Full.
6. Transmission is another to be decided amongst yourself.

It's quiet around here... too quiet...
So, I'll make a bit of noise by saying the time to beat has dropped a bit... not by much though... 2:09.42 The Road America track is kinda kickin' my a**

Road America took a bit to get a handle on, the Vette is a Beast of a car specially driving at 10/10's. Three time trials I ran times were -2.10.310 - 2.10.440 and 2.09.880.
Did a final run last night and my "Final Time" is 2.09.690.
Manny you got me again by 2/10's. Well done m8t

But unless I'm mistaken you still have 29 hours till midnight EST... Don't let little things like job, family obligations, vacation travel, eating, etc, get in the way of what's really important!

Got to pay the bills some how
Wife won't talk to me 
Haven't had a vacation for years 
and I'm Anorexic 
But what is really important is trying to beat you guys and having a ball trying to. 👍
Remember I'm in Australia and we are 15 to 18 hrs a head of you in the states, or do I go by US est.

Well, I don't think you should be penalized for living in the antipodes!
It's 12:30 pm Dec 17th where you are right? So we're 16 hours behind you on the US East Coast. It's still yesterday here!
So unless I misunderstood things, you've got lots of time left... that is unless you're sick of sliding into the weeds on turn 12 of Road America.

Ok m8t, I'll give it another go to try and beat your time and NITROVIOUS time as well.
Finish work in 2hrs so I'll try again then. That 12th corner is no problem now, its changed to the first corner, must be trying to take it to fast.
Yeah, I've had that relapse several times myself...
I've dropped a few 100ths off the previous time so now my best is 2:09.39...
It's much easier on my camera battery to film the replay and include only the best lap. This one would have been better except for the early turn-in on the final turn.
would be fun to do this but I run the game on my PC and the old cars are not available yet. I use a keyboard which is fun but a wheel would be great. I love the Vette, the old vette would be a gas to drive but I have a really tough time with the high HP rear drivers. I cant keep the rear wheels hooked up and the rear wheel hop is a mess. Road America is one of my favorites and 2:049 is my best but have not backed it up. Several in the 2:05's. The GTR is my favorite car but cant touch the vette on Road America.
Great times guys, you are tearing it up. Looking in from the outside.

Thanks!
I honestly can't imagine how difficult it would be to do this without a wheel!
A lot of people say the force feedback in Shift isn't very good, but I've found that when the car is tuned correctly (like this Vette), the FFB is excellent! You can absolutely feel what the car is doing (or is about to do), through the wheel. You don't get that with a keyboard or joystick, so it's equally amazing to me the times you put up! 👍

- OZR-MrB52
My thoughts exactly, I don't know how they drive them with a keyboard, joystick or even a controller, I couldn't. You get so much more out of a good wheel's FFB. 👍
Great Vid Manny, good lap to, took it right to the edge on turn 12.
what I like to see. Wish I had a video camera.
