Got my run in. No major screwups and just a few very minor offs. 3-5 secs total. In first by turn F8 of 1st lap. Remember from last year this class had a easy time with the AI. Even on +10. Not so the GT300's. Will probably be my submission for the week. While I was running this track at my breakneck speed, it got me thinking about how when I first started playing GT2 I had such a problem with all these corners. Now I don't even think about them really.

FYI:
For anyone who hasn't decided on a GT500 auto yet here are my testing from this year's crop. All were within a 1/2 sec of each other from top to bottom. Then I ran each car through a tyre wear stint on RM's at same top speed with Bob @ 4. My BSpec amounts are 9045/100/90/88. Number of laps before computer took a pit. I set it for overtake and didn't touch it until the pit. Then reset it.

Pitwork - 10
Takata - 10, sloppy last lap
Xanavi - 11
Mobil - 9
Loctite - 9
Zexel - 10

Then ran each in ASpec and all were about 2 less laps before a pit.

Just did a GT500 time last night. I'll try it again sometime this week, but i don't know if i can beat it or not. The GT-R is quite a beast around corners; You honestly use throttle control more than braking to get the car to do what you want it to. My fastest laps were in the low 1:20.XXX range on RM's, but it was pretty hard work to get it there.

I haven't gotten a clean run in GT300 yet, but because the car hasn't changed from last year i'm pretty much set. It's more of a case of "WTF? Why the heck did that Falken Skyline punt me off into the weeds!?!" than "Cheeze, this car ust won't turn!".

Great race. I love that Nissan GT-R. I ended up running RS for all but one outing. I had two big crashes, one on lap 10 and one on 25. I guess it's to be expected when are going 10/10. Upward and onward.

Times submitted. I'm not really happy with either of them, but hey,that's what pre-season tests are for right?

I hope to be more in the thick of the front of the field at Suzuka...
