Thanks for the education. I had assumed Cup+ was just an update of the original Cup. Don't actually know what the GT3s in videos were on but if Cup+ it might explain the squealing.

I'm normally not a fan of decals, but that actually looks good on white.

I think the 7:42 lap makes the Civic Type R's 7:50 look all the more impressive.

The GT4 was very composed at 7:42 & I fancy that something was left on the table as there were a number of places where a top driver would have been a gear higher & kept it "mashed".

If the Type R's spec is such that show room cars in the right hands can repeat that time - then Honda's achievement is quite remarkable.

Like wise going to PM session on the 27th.

Still no word of delivery date for mine, but It will arrive when it arrives and the dealer has assured me as soon as they get a build slot confirmed will let me know.

Got my email today as well. Just got to decide if I take the wife or hog all the circuit time myself.

On second thoughts, she can come along and enjoy the lunch and I will enjoy the car.

Just got to decide - PCCB or not.

To think, somebody does that for a living ...

And people think that the PDK CR is second best.

No idea.


( But I will enjoy playing with the manual smile )

Same predicament, but I'm leaning towards white, as with black paint, you don't get the contrast of the black body parts and wing supports etc...

It's difficult without seeing them in the flesh. I think the GT3 suits nearly every color (especially white) but then I feel you've got a bit more of a limited choice with the GT4. I'll probably end up doing black with black satin wheels and maybeeee red belts smile
