You do realise that the Cote d'Azur track is not quite the same track that the Grand Prix uses? There are differences.
And Holl01 has a 1'08.989
Hi Daan, yes I can see that diferences exist betwen Monaco real life an Cote d' Azur but if you look good all GT real tracks can change a bit so let us dream with a almost similar reality, the cars are diferent an the weather modified the behavior of them, if we take this factors in count never would get this kind of challenge. The goal I'm propousing must be taken in Gran Turismo mode and with R3 tires, I think Holl01 used R5 so he run in Arcade mode.
While holl01 did in fact perform his run in Arcade mode, the game only allows the use of R3 tires in either mode. Notice when you watch a replay it will always say 'RM/RM' even if you selected an alternate compund.
That said, 3rdgenracerX clocked a 1'08.946 in GT Mode and myself a 1'09.457.
Cheers.
