GTP WTAC Week 76 : Sound Of The Wind


*** The Mazda Furai is the fifth and final Nagare concept car. Nagare roughly translates to 'flow' in English and these cars were envisioned to be organic-like concepts with a special emphasis in being aerodynamic and visually appealing. 'Furai' itself means 'sound of the wind'... and this car certainly appears to create some wind noise on any road surface! You might have noticed that we only have one car for this week's challenge. I'm doing something a bit different for this event. We'll be using only one car, but we'll be racing on two different tracks. So we will still have two ghost replay files and two photos to take and upload. I also made an executive decision to go with R1 tires instead of the default S3. I only really did this because this car looks more like a race car than a sports car. And, because it is so very light with high HP, I don't want competitors sliding all around the track and not having any fun just driving. ***

1'21.0xx at Laguna Seca.

The car is very good to drive, does not have much torque at low revs but if you can keep the car at high revs it got very good acceleration.
 
I had a lot of fun driving this car. So much fun that I plan to keep the Mazda Furai in 'my favorites' so I can drive it anytime I want!

I had a lot of fun driving this car.

Me too!!! I had lot of fun driving this car on both tracks. Now I know what car to use for a semi-enduro race on Spa in GT5's arcade mode.💡

Laguna Seca is one of my favorite tracks ever, but is a track that I have never feel like that I can do a 'perfect' lap there. I can't say that I have master it or that I extracted every second I could out of a lap. I think that I left about .4 to .5 seconds there.

This car and track work very well together, Why would it be?:sly::)

The current racing session is over (we've hit the 48 point threshold)!

I just want to thank all the competitors for keeping the WTAC alive and for keeping it fun!
