Wow, lots of stuff to address…
@Turbodatsun Amazing Time with the R92CP, you’ve really continued to push the envelope and beat that time down over and over.
Glad to hear you’ve purchased some new cars to try. You are obviously very competitive but I hope you continue posting times with other cars if you grind with things other than the Nissan. Aside from the R92CP and 787 most of my times are from either the 1st or 2nd runs knowing I can improve on them later, nothing wrong with that, and hopefully with additional times on the board it promotes others to try. I usually preface the posted times with what happened, like a crash, ran out of gas etc…
I’m still waiting to revisit the group C cars after I can figure out how to deal with the understeer more effectively on the controller
or end up with a wheel.

@Larzi- Wow man. FYI, Not only have you taken 2nd place for fastest run, and
with a new car, you now hold 7 of the 10 fastest car times, including 4 in the 5 top spots. You are also the first one with 5 cars in the 22 club. Only the Escudo is left.
The fact you did that in a day is beyond bonkers. Congrats man, quite the achievement.
Also, I updated your CLK run yesterday morning before Turbos post. A few minutes ago I added the one’s you just posted. Can you tell me which I missed so can look for it? If it’s one of those, you have to hit the refresh button on the page for it to display new info. The fastest cars sheet was the last one I updated today, It would have displayed the other 2 sheets without it if you checked before I finished as they are 3 separate spreadsheets.

@kowalski__1 Great time with the R92CP, you’re right on the cusp. I’m sure you’ll break the barrier shortly 👍
Welcome aboard man.

@pikachuyann Nice time with the Mazda. Absolutely happy to have the time posted, there are plenty of players on here at various competitive levels. its up on the board now. BTW, you might find yourself getting even better times on “Hard” difficulty setting at that pace. You’re lapping everyone twice already and the higher difficulty will help reduce the slow traffic and congestion while giving you the chance to draft behind cars to gain speed and save fuel.

Although not necessary, the format @Larzi- is using to post his times is super helpful to me, specifically when multiple races are posted. After the photo of proof for times he has the list of everything at the bottom in order by race time. I don’t have to zoom in or look through pics to get the info I need them being in order saves me time. The link below is his post from above that I’m talking about.

(
mean’t to post the following other day)
I believe I learned something pretty cool regarding swaps for this race (or just in general)…
I’ve always wondered about this and now
I’m pretty confident that swapped cars take on the fuel efficiency of their donor.
I just brought out the swapped R34 to Sardegna TT and turned on Fuel + Tire Wear and at FM1 is estimated 7-8 laps, a one stop for fuel anyway. Tires are going to be a very different story of course
The R92CP goes in both the R33 and R34 and the 787B engine has ‘90 & ‘02 RX7’s, the RX8 ‘12 and Mazda 3
Of course their handling + braking will keep them from any crazy times but impressive for swaps

Lastly,
I don’t know if any of you have recorded some hot laps from races but would be really great to have some vids of these super fast times that could be helpful/instructional to a lot of players. The more the better. If anyone has stuff but nowhere to post it (or don’t want personal youtube on here) I’m happy to upload from my channel as well and link it here. If that’s the case, message me about it
