The Integra Type R!!!!!!!!

I did the race a few times last night, just very frustrating doing a good 1st lap with minimal contact and then in the 2nd lap scraping a wall, and having to start over again ! I found that the car is much better with default or lower than halfway spring settings, and a ride height of about 105 mm I think. This track is very hectic on the bumps, and the car flies like a plane over those uphill bumps.
Finished one 3 lap race in 2nd place, no way to catch the 1st place car ! Basically the only place to overtake the other cars without taking them out is to take the inside line after the 2nd long straight (not start finish straight), they brake like mad, and I just go on the inside and pass 2 cars at once.

Yeah this is gonna be a frustrating week. It'd be hard enough to grab 3 clean laps out of this WITHOUT anyone else on the track...but throw other cars into the mix and you have yourself one hell of a race. Ive got nothing even close to clean yet. I hate that GT-One tho...hes slow for half the race then on the last lap he finds the gas pedal and you have to fight w/ him the rest of the race
I will say this tho....theres no greater feeling than outbraking a viper gts-r and overtaking him in a turn, or getting a good exit speed out of a turn and passing up a gt40 race car....IN A FREAKING INTEGRA!
The gt-ones a different story tho...you pass him up, and he comes back REAL quick

Yeah and the problem is those damn cars come from behind, and their acceleration is so much faster (basically all of them), so you think you do this pro pass on somebody and they just come back and pass you on the straight ! Very difficult indeed dude !
Yeah the Integra holds it's head up high in this race, if there was just no other freakin cars it would be much simpler ...
Out-braking is obviously the key here ! If only it had 50 more HP, it would wack these guys !
I think maybe on should let them get away for the 1st lap, and then you have a clean track for the 2nd lap ? Or does both laps' times count together or something ?

Didn't see either of those cars in my field. I had no prob getting 1st place, won by a second. 2nd place was the Falcon XR8 Race Car.
Too many wall-touches to post any times though
I hawked the settings from the 9 Boards winner - P@ss.

Yep, you need the entire 3 lap race time.
Can't tell if you're kidding here or not PR, but no, it's not considered contact.
Yeah, the first time I raced it I got first, easy. Then the second time second, while being a little bit more careful, but I know if I had pushed it just a touch more I would of had it. Unfortunatly there were a few times I would tap the wall. Another had four of the cars participating in a gleeful gang bang on my Integra, all of them slamming me into the wall at once. Bastards.
However, now I'm trying to keep clean laps and thats hard. Gr.
Okay, some more questions on the AI contact. There a few places where I take a different angle then the AI and therefore there is contact. It isn't harsh. I don't send them flying into the wall and it doesn't seem like I'm using them as a wall, although we will be on each other for part of the turn. Is that too much? Also, what if the opposite happens and the AI forces himself upon me and causes me to graze a wall? What then?! WHAT THE CRAP THEN!? HUH!?
I'm trying to find a X-Port. Went to a few different places today, no luck.

From what I can tell from what you have described, it doesn't sound like it would be to much. Just keep in mind that if the contact gives you an unfair advantage or is hard enough that it would disable a real car, then you should consider it illegal. A gentle rub or trading of paint is definately acceptable. I want everyone to use your best judgement on this.
Also, what if the opposite happens and the AI forces himself upon me and causes me to graze a wall? What then?! WHAT THE CRAP THEN!? HUH!?
If the AI forces you into a wall then that is not considered a wall touch and shouldn't be counted as being against the rules. Feel free to continue the race if you want after AI has initiated the contact.
Again, use your best judgement on this.

Toy's R Us? Best Buy? EXB? If you can't find one at the store, try their online stores. I've bought a Sharkport through the Best Buy website before. 👍
Yeah, this is one annoying race, I've set a time for the 3 laps, but I've scraped the walls a couple of times
I managed to get up into 3rd and right up to the tail of the GT-One. I even passed the GT-One under braking after that 2nd straight, but then he cut me off, the b*****d! (pardon my french). I then hit the wall as I was un-sighted by this big red GT-One, grrr. At least I'm not the only one who finds this race annoying! I still need to play around with the settings, but I'll post them here once I find something comfortable

if you wanna get your t times the easiest way would be to save your replay, then just watch it and write em down as they pop up, that way you dont have to worry about getting them during the race (i wish there was a way we could turn em off during the actual race..they always mess me up when i see a really good one pop up
) As far as submitting your time, for multilappers i usually send in each individual lap time plus my overall time. You dont need to submit T times, thats just somthing we use to talk about during the week to guage how well everyone else is doing

my hands hurt 
I think my goal for this week will be to get A clean race. I think even thats setting it too high 
I dont know if these are some of my best split times, but they're the only ones have written down so far, for lap one ive had 38.0/1'20.4, and lap 2 30.4/1'12.7. All dirty of course.
here are the settings im using...i havent really messed w/ em too much yet, this is just what i initially set it up as..they seem to work pretty good so far, but im sure could do even better w/ some more tweaking
7.0/11.0
90/93
8/9
8/9
2.5/1.5
1.0/0.5

Hmmm. GT2 intrgra type r -98 maxed out lands at 370 turbo hp and 981 kgs so I added the race mod and got 963 kgs. The race is not as hard as the one you guys run, it's possible to pass all cars within 2/3 of the first lap. So, it's differing a lot but I'll try to get a clean save to submit anyway..
Oh and the second T in gt3 is in the middle of the busstop just after the rails right?
