i know that is a little late, i run the HSR test just to see where i'm standing and holy crap, i'm in trouble
for the R8 my time was 9:54 dead last and for the STI 12:41 dead last again, both with RS and one pit stop, is there any way to fine tune the cars on the arcade mode? i've never used this mode before..
Welcome to the GTPLMS
Preseason Round 2:
GTMSA Open Test Session 2 - High Speed Ring (10 laps)
PreSeason Round 2
Track: High Speed Ring - 2.49 miles (4.00km)
Length: 10 Laps ~ 25 miles (40km)
Deadline: April 15th @ 6p CST (GMT -6)
Time to show what you and your car is made of. Welcome to Open Test Round 2 - High Speed Ring. This course bears it's name well, with all cars approaching their aerodynamic peaks at the end of this high-banked, extremely fast track. In Round 1, the drivers got used to their cars. In this round, we'll get used to tire wear. All data gathered here can be used by both the drivers, and more importantly, by GTMSA officials, for homolating the cars as testing continues.

Here's a little tip Danny!
In short races, pitting is not advisable.
Using RS's to get great lap times, only to have to pit was the reason you came last! You should have used RM's and used some tyre management to stretch them that little bit extra needed.
Each time you pit, it costs you between 35-40 seconds even if you don't add fuel.
And there is absolutely NO way that even using Sooooouper Softs (57 varieties, don't you know) you would make up even 35 seconds in a 10 lap race.
If you let the game top the tank up you are also losing the 'weight loss advantage' from fuel usage also!
That's a newbie mistake you made, and as such, needs to be learned from!
Here endeth the lesson!

I'm just that fast! . Seriously though, in Turns 1 and 2, you DO NOT LIFT. go through full throttle. Into 3, don't brake until you get to the over-pass. Brake well into turn-in (I'm a late braker), and full throttle out, just hitting the rumble strips Drivers Right. Into the Ess Curves, you should start braking when the rumble strips Drivers Left begin. Accelerate well into the left-hander, and don't accelerate when you "think" you should, hang back for a split second. This will give you a huge launch into the 180 degree turn. Here again, don't brake until you're under the bridge. Going through this turn at around 115mph - 120mph, mash the gas as soon as you're 1/2 way through the corner (look for the corner station Drivers Right, this is 1/2 way). This will give you the launch you need down the LONG frontstraight. The biggest keys here are corner exit speed. Slow in, fast out.
Hey RACECAR!
You could have just cut the relevant section of the post out, you know!

Either you've spent some time in the South, or NASCAR is having its effect! When I first moved here (I'm a Yankee from Pennsylvania), that was one of my favorite new words to use!
