Nice smooth car, very good handling at high speed but slower speed areas of the track, the back end gets very lively.

I like the car, looks and sounds good, with a god set up this will be an even nicer car to drive. Got bronze but will try for gold tomorrow.

​

 

[ALB123]

Got the Gold, but after a LOT of spins and off the track DQs. I'm surprised you find the car "very good handling at high speed". I think the rear is very lively at speed. It's also lively at low speeds, you're right. I'm just not much of a fan of these Vision GT cars. I can appreciate the project and I probably wouldn't have such harsh feelings toward the project if we were also getting real, modern cars added to the game as well.

 

[Vic Reign93]

What I love about it is that it is capable of going just as fast as upgraded Le Mans racers on race slicks on Sports Mediums.

And this is the "Street" version.

SRT has set the insanity bar pretty damn high.

 

[GT5 Level 41]

Game freezes every time I log a lap. 4X already. Anyone else?

 

[N0t_L3fty]

I haven't had any freezes. The car is kind of a handful, sticks real well at speed though. I got my million credits (barely) & my car, I believe I'll just be moseying along now...
I wish they would have let you string your laps together, it really stops you from getting any decent feel for the car.

 

[shmogt]

I tried the crazy fast one at "the Burg" and it was insane. I tried this one and it was tricky, but much easier to control. I placed about 200 right now.

 

[j4mmin42]

I had a lot of fun here. It's a favorite track, and a car that becomes more capable the more you drive it- I really liked the way it took corners. And that "Venom Green" paint option...maybe the best day-glo green in the game? I think so.

 

[GTRacer22]

58.706 for 21st right now. Can improve.

 

[GTP_Patrick1]

I like this track, and this car was very fun to drive here.

Agree. I think this is the first time this has happened - the other super lap events just let you keep going round and round until you get dizzy. Perhaps PD realised that with the sensory overload these cars produce, that's not long!

 

[Grandea GTR]

Aww. Can't do more than one lap in one sitting, bummer.

 

[beau231]

55.741 for P1
This is a fun car to drive, hate the other ones there just weird

 

[Sick Cylinder]

I found the need to start a fresh lap every time made it difficult to find a rhythm. The car is ok, but I don't like cars with no interior and I wish they would give us some real cars - maybe a current model and a historic model from the same manufacturer in order to provide context and secure the legacy for that manufacturer.

The sound design is ok, but lots of room for improvement - rather a strange artificial sound to this car - I think they've added a square wave over the top of the previous sound.

 

[Dr Fourtrack]

I found the need to start a fresh lap every time made it difficult to find a rhythm.

Yeah, I found the same.

Got a Silver (1.03.9) in the brief time i had this morning. 2550th place has now dropped to 5800th.
I'll make that a gold tomorrow.

Love the design and the way it drives. I shall enjoy driving this alot.

 

[True-blue-8]

57.014 10th place, but I suck big time last corners

I did cross the line at 57.000 but it did that add time glitch, feel cheated, I want that 57 dead

 

[UltimateLurker]

This is the best of these events with this car for sure, the car is really fantastic, stable, and forgiving...but gold is still quite hard to achieve. Well done PD.

 

[TAZ71]

Got gold at lunch time, with DS3 and auto @ 1:01,6**, but the car at low speeds its just weird.
Should give it a try over the weekend but with the wheel, to see if it feels better, the one lap 'stint' also doesn't help.

Edit:
I just read the OP, what's this:

"Also, holding down the R1 button while driving this car will initiate the “low drag mode”, allowing you to raise your speed temporarily"

Is it a big diference?
Got gold without it.

 

[dddsprayshop]

Managed a gold after three laps, traction at 3, DS3 sense at 7, and lots of nitrobutton.

 

[True-blue-8]

Took a break, came back and smashed it 56.4 4th place

 

[Grandea GTR]

"Also, holding down the R1 button while driving this car will initiate the “low drag mode”, allowing you to raise your speed temporarily"

Got gold without it.

It gives a boost of speed for the car. But be careful, whenever you use that on this car, the handling drops significantly, so it's best to use it on straights and light corners.

If i would do that, i would pull the handbrake.
Anyway, it is the Nitro button, you use K.E.R.S. (battery icon in your fuel gage) and you lower the spoilers.
When you drive slow (very slow) you hear a Hisssssss when you push the nitro button.(at least i hear it with the GTS-R and the X)

 

[beau231]

Just to give use a tip when you use K.E.R.S it's actually removing front down force so don't use it around corners or exiting till your fully out of the corner.

Thanks for that, was wondering why the meter never moved as I pushed the button. I quit using it as I was thinking it was not doing much.

I don't understand this "R1 Button" thing!
I'm driving a Thrustmaster T300RS wheel, and the "R1 Button" is the paddle for upshifting!
I'm driving with Automatic anyway, but what if I used manual shifting when the "R1-Button" triggers the boost while I wanted to shift up 1 gear???
Confused....

It's the button you assigned as nitrous. Check your in-game steering wheel settings.

 

[GTP_Patrick1]

57.2 currently 22 on the board. Once I figured out the best way to use the Nitro button, I knocked some time off. I think I can find another few tenths, if I can string all my best sectors together. I like this track and the car is fun to drive, my favorite of the 3 new seasonals.

 

[EmaNymton]

Copy that!
So in my case it'll be the R2-Button then!
Thanks to enlighten me!

 

[GTP_Patrick1]

56.5 and tenth at the moment. Not many tenths left for me to get and alot of time left for me to drop down the leaderboard . Had lots of fun with this one.

 

[Rit]

If PD ever gives us a TT that's for 650pp street cars I think you'll see this car littering the leaderboard. Getting inside the one in my garage you can see that there's a lot of adjustments that you can make to really fine tune this car. Also you can paint it and paint the wheels as well. You just can't change the wheels.

I took it to "Like the Wind" Route X and won by almost 40 seconds!..
