I have an on going competition with my brother in law to see who can do the zi fastest lap on Gran Turismo 4. We are using the Audi RS6 Avant and I'm currently winning with a time of 8:02 if anyone wants to try their luck.

I'd imagine its just the same as GT4 when we are out there so I will be flying :D

Last time I went with friend who had learned the track on Grand Turismo. He anticipated the entry points quite well but was amazed at how uneven some of the sections are. He reckons the game designers were really soft with the road surface vibrations. He was is an Evo8 but couldn't get anywhere near me  :grin:

I was driving a 993 turbo though which is outrageously fast through any high speed areas and there are quite a few of those.

How the hell is a game suposed to be the same as the real thing, its nothing at all like the ring... I think its so stupid when people think they can prepare themselves for it with a computer screen cus when they get over there its gona be a serious kick in the face when reality comes at you in the shape of an armco barrier and you find out that you cant drive off again like in your game... :cry: :cry:
