Hey DE,

Not to put you on the spot, but could you let me know what you saw on the replay that you didn't like so I can try to remedy it? Thanks
As I said, judgement has been witheld. That video is undergoing further anylysis, you'll just have to wait for my final decision.

Thanks. I'm still working on that R8, but I don't seem to have cracked it yet. That said, I have a few more tricks to try still.

I think I'll more be working on other cars though.
 
Just got back from the track last night, got my first trophy dash win:D

Finished 4th in the feature


Ill have a go with the R89 if I get time next week. If not that, ill be doing the tunning comp. Either way ill be busy...
 
240^drift, gearing an 88C-V isn't hard, do it yourself :p

Nice work MS, watching both now..
Both legitimate 👍
Leaderboard will be updated this evening.

besides MStorm and 2078TM it's a very quiet time here........i'm wondering why?
I don't know, but I wish people were posting more, even if it's questions and such and not necessarily new speeds (speaking of which I have another, but no video yet).

Maybe it's because the new school term has started, so people have less time to pursue speeds?
 
Really, MS, if you'd been here long enough you'd appreciate how blessed these periods of 'quiet' are! I imagine it is due to the school term starting, I know that's the reason I have spare time bordering on zero these days!

Anyway, nice work, particularly with the Bentley! 👍
Leaderboard Updated

EDIT - Ahh! I actually left a typo overnight! :p

What annoys me is that now is the time that I usually make a killing, whuilst everyone is away, so when they come back...BAM! I just smited your Pescarolo speed, or ZING! You need to practice more with the Lotus Esprit 350.

Except this time, you hold both of those records? :p :lol: Try something new for a change, like a 2004 Pescarolo, or an 88C-V?

Yes, do us all a favor and try some different cars please?

Only got half an hour to tune the R89 and got it to 335 and had to go to work. Maybe I can do it this weekend.....

Almost forgot, a really nice picture of my win:

 
Struggling to get another 2MPH out of the Speed 8, but in the meantime, here is my latest with the R92CP - 353.48MPH

Session Speed

This video is very dark. I don't know why - even watching the replay directly from the PS2 on my TV it is as dark as it appears above - :confused:

Hopefully it will be good enough for DE to judge.

That's good, because I'm pretty sure I can go faster. :crazy: 👍

Oh hmm... lets have a few more too!

I see you've done something with the Vertigo. It's on! No one will deny me of my first 300 MPH car! And the Vertigo is easier than even the TS020 to get to 300 for no apparent reason. (I think of all of the trouble it gave me when the club started. Hmm. Seems silly now).
 
371 mph :eek:

That's some speed I say...


What I do not understand though is;

Why the GT-ONE? For example the 88C-V is more powerful and has less weight so why are almost all records set with a GT-ONE?

Gearbox, aerodynamics, suspension, torque curves, powerband. Theres more to consider than just horsepower and weight. 👍

You should definitely be able to get more from the Gillet, Toronado. :)
