I knew I had a winner when I realized that I could tune the R390 to the specs. I was ponering whether or not to divulge, but I guess the cat's out of the bag. I too tried the M3 GTR and Z-06 but decided that downforce rules. Also tried a couple of different RUF cars also... I can't take the first kink to the right after the start flat in either of the other cars (though some may be able to) and the balance and handling of the Nissan ROCK. I've been a huge fan of this car (somewhat of a "cheater" in my opinion but fun none-the-less) since its first appearance LOOONG ago (in the game and in real life).
Anyway, after 20 minutes or so:
T1 31.133
T2 1'07.968
Oh, and like someone mentioned earlier, is there a clear second choice? How many other street cars have downforce?

I would have to say that there is no "other choice" if you are looking to keep up with the Nissan R390 road car.
However, once you get out of that car's realm there are several cars that make great competition for each other.
The most fun I have had in this so far was seeing how close the match up between the Z-tune Z and the RGT could be.
That comparison could also use the touch of a Zonda.
Those three cars are all great for this track.
Still nothing compared to the R390 in the overall, but fun to drive none the less.
However, all of the above commentary takes a back seat to the over-whelming feeling of frustration I am getting from seeing this turn into a one car race.
Either I will have to designate one car races in the future or I will have to start spending more and more time getting multi-car races set up.
Personally, I would like to see more use of the quick tune options in this game.
My 6 laps of Le Man spot race was a well designed race (to some extent).
Regardless of what some people may think of the specifics, the cars availible are all pretty evenly matched.
800hp/900kg... that was the mark to meet on the 6 lap spot.
It worked really well. 👍
Any way,
Enough of my ranting.
Sorry about that.

I am going to have to give the Z-tune z a try as well as the NSX-R Concept or wht ever it is called.

mkayIt's going well for me here with the R390 GT1
T1: 30.288
T2: 1:06.676
Division 3
Drugs are bad, mkay?
Hey, regarding your :^P, based on your stratospheric time at Suzuka that was erased, and your admirable early split times, I've gotta think that you definitely are misclassed.
Since you're getting a replay device so you can verify your odds on Div 3 win this week, I'm sure we'll be seeing you in Div 2 if not Div 1 really soon! Right? :^)
Drive on...

(Or any of the other pics of me in Ferrari's, McLarens, and JGTC cars) 
Seems like everyone is tight on T1 but the gap happens with T2. Im guessing the t2-t3 times wont be that scattered.
But for you sub 1:05 T2'ers. What is the ticket? I just cant see where three seconds goes (MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION!!) Im guessing that its the hairpin and the subsequent double left apex.
Any tips? Other than what we've read already?
FYI
R390
T1: 30.337
T2: 1:07.701

Some times with a NOT R390!!!
T1 30.9
T2 1.09
There is at least another .5 second in the first Split, I ran really wide into that first hairpin. The car can take the kink before it flat but then is pretty crossed up and you've got no hope of stopping at the right spot. And another 1 second on T2, I crossed it up down the hill after the tunnel pretty majorly.
I may reveal my car at a later date...

I was just wondering what line you guys were using for the first hairpin, the one right after the kink?
I find that I have so much speed coming out of the kink, I do not have time to get across to the outer line to take the corner geometically correct. Maybe it's better to brake for the kink, and get a good line for the corner? (Which I fell I'm losing heaps of time on my ghost..)
Or take the kink as fast as possible and take a really late apex? (I find I run way, way, to deep into the corner this way and lose any speed I gain from a 'flat-kink')
I'm sure there is heaps of time to be made on this corner, when I come out of it usually around the 14-15 second mark. I'm sure you could cut a second out of that.
Any ideas?
