Your car at the 'Ring?

Hmm, a quattro with all the available mods and big turbo seems to only have about 350bhp on GT4, so it'll take a while to get round. I was hoping to be able to drive a full-on 750bhp nutter quattro, but it's not to be. 350bhp is hardly any more than mine has - though I guess it'll make a good target time if I ever take it there.
To add insult to injury, the b'stards have even given it a crappy 4-cylinder engine note...
Will have a bash at a time tomorrow.
(I'm still stunned by the fellow in the other thread who's about a second away from a sub five minute lap with the F1 car. I've done 5:20 with a couple of offs, but there's no way the spins cost anything like 20 seconds. Jesus, I'm 32 and my reactions have gone already.)

I think i may be the bloke you are referring to. I am flabbergasted by the current fastest lap in evo, a 4'53 in a Sauber C9! My best is 13s slower and it was perfect. Must be some cheating, same as guy who says he can lap in 5'17 in a stock M3 gtr race car on sports tyres. Impossible.

Ah yes, it was you! I can get down to a pretty quick pace, but it seems that luck takes over to a degree when you have to get it just right over the bumps or you have a big crash. You think you've taken exactly the same line twice, but obviously there was a very slight difference. Hmm, might try really soft springs - though that doesn't seem to have made much difference so far. 4:53 with a Group C car? I don't have the Merc, but neither the Nissan 92 or the Toyota 88C can get anywhere near that in my hands, even with 1100bhp...

I think the reason I managed the fast times was because I was supposed to be studying for exams and I needed to keep myself sane during breaks. I always play way more computer games around exam time! I know wat you mean about the bumps, the Sauber seems to to demolish the bumps whereas the f1 car can get thrown off the road.
To get back on topic-
I haven't actually been bored enough yet to try taking a corsa around the 'ring. It would take longer than my concentration span. I can't really complain about the calibre of car considering I don't pay anything towards the corsa other than petrol now and again.
My friend took his corsa round, took him about 10.5mins, but I reckon it can be done quicker.
I took a Jazz around, took me a smidgen over 10, which really makes me wonder about Clarksons driving ability in an S-type...Jazz has this really annoying engine in gt4 tho, you have to try it to see. My souped up Jazz with Nos managed it in under 8 mins :]
