Peace out GTP!

Had some tough races at Apricot. It seems to be really picky on cornering speed in races with tyre wear, and you end up really off the pace with shagged tyres.

That said, when you string together a good lap, it's a blast. And S-1 is kinda cool.

it's my new favorite track after the miata enduro. THAT RACE KICKS!!!! Alot more real to me than blasting down a straight in a fully tuned jag or somthing..

masonholmes, I couldn't agree with you more.
I loved that enduro. It was the first time since the very beginning of the game that there was challenge and the first time ever I have had to be very careful about my racing line. I learned that track very well and since the enduro I have stopped using my f1 cars to blow through races. I found myself cycleing through my garage for the right car that was not too powerful but not too weak for any givn race. Yeah, it takes a while but when I get to fight for first through 15laps of laguna in gtChampionship it is all worth it.

 

[masonholmes]

yup, and that, in my opinion, is what the game is all about It will be even better to run it once I figure out what wheel I can get that won't be a pain in the azz. (full of problems I mean)
peace,

I don't really race at apricot hill that often and do not use it at all for free runs or anything , must be that i don't really like apricot hill as much as the other tracks

One of the more mediocre tracks for me - it also seems harder in GT3 than in GT2, especially as you come over the rise on the final of the three open bends (S 1). The reverse is a b!tch!

Won the Miata enduro with just one pitstop - tough tho.
