Tell me about the best parts of the game, the few seconds you just had to sit back and say "Wow." and watch the replay a few times from different angles. The best ones will probably be early in the game.

Mine was the first race at Deep Forest. I still hadn't gotten the hang of the first left hand turn so I usually ended up a ways up the hill and then sliding across the track onto the grass on the other side. That, or dropping down almost to first gear.

So I'm driving my first car, a Miata, from sixth position start, I go up the hill and slide out--slamming a little Peugot 206 way out of his line and keeping a perfect line up to first place.

I also had a lot of fun on one of the later races at Trial Mountain. That last S-curve, where most of the computers hit the bump on the right and slide across on two wheels? My last lap I was 3 seconds ahead of the pack, I hit that bump in a crazy turn, spun completely around in the air and finished first by a tenth of a second.

Let's hear some crazy stories. I know mine sound tame but what do you expect from 12%?
 
Mine Was During A 2P Arcarde Race At Trial Mountain.

I Was Using A Lotus V8 SE and My Friend Was Using A Viper GTS (Pretty Close Race).

Anyway We Were On The Final Lap Coming Around To That Last Turn Where That Sorta-Like Bridge Thing Is And Theres A Hill On The Right Side Of It. As We Approached It, I Took A Shortcut Through The Grass And Rammed The Side Of His Car Thus Sending Him Up That Hill Into Mid-Air. And Before He Realized What Happen He Had Hit That Bridge-Like Road Up There And Lost The Race Crowning Me The Winner.

I Will Never Forget That, It Was My Favorite Race In A While.
 
My moment was the last race of the Beginner's 80's cup. I easily got gold on the first two but for some reason I couln't master the Seattle Circuit II. I tried and tried for 4 days...Mostly alot of anger and frustration. I finally got into first place agaist that stupid white Toyota Trueno. On the second to the last turn I lost control over my miata and slammed into the turn. Luckily I pushed everything and chnaced every turn to gain speed over the others. I was able to use the Trueno "kiss off" and on a turn and pull into the lead while getting semi-revenge and pushing that Trueno into the grass!

I know that story is weak towards your endurance racers but what do you expect from an 9%
 
I was racing a Z06 I think and I came around that last corner on Seattle probably about a second behind the leader (can't remember what the comp was driving) and my Z06 powered past the comp for something like a .2 second win. It was quite a while ago. I am at ~85.7%. I think it happend sometime in the 30% range.

It is one of the few replays I have saved. I'll have to go back and look at it. I just hate having to go through the entire replay just to see the last 10 seconds. :)
 
well, my first is the first time i raced Smokey Mountain II. I was driving an Impreza rally car and i hit that hill (everyone knows which one) and flew.

the second was the license test on Complex String II in the Mine's Skyline. I was coming around the last corner, and i punched the gas, b/c the timer's getting close to the cut-off. the car spins out, but stays on the pavement, so i slam it into reverse, crank the wheel, and the car starts coming back around as i cross the line for bronze.

the third was when i got the escudo. stage 4 turbo, and set it up for super speed. sitting on the back bumper at 800+ mph. that is cool.

the forth was just plain funny. i was racing cote de azure (the blue coast) on professional difficulty in the 787B. i pitted in to change the tyres and was in last. i came into the chicayne and the Zonda Race Car was ahead of me. it's like, screw brakes, he has brakes. *SLAM!!!!* i slammed into him at 120+ mph, he flies into the wall nose-first... and stays there for the rest of the race. he just sits there, spinning his tyres facing the wall. i'm like, how stupid is that?

for 44.2% that's pretty decent.

That happen when I was Racing the GT All Stars Cup on seattle circuit after you go on that hill.
 
Once, i remeber i was doing Trial Mt. and I hit that mound of dirt right by the finish, and I spun in mid air and finished in reverse.... That was kinda cool, it was in a Civic Type R, on one of those n00b races.
 
This just happened recently. I was frustrated because the RUF CTR2 was obliterating the cars I was using (Fully upgraded 328ci & a stock GT-One Road Car) at the Professional League Turbo Race at the Test Course. So I decided to use the Escudo and do some obliterating of my own. I took the lead as we headed into the first turn, then decided to pull to the left, stop, and turn-around. I ran a few laps around the track going the wrong way, hitting the lead cars (including the RUF) head-on and sending us both into skids backwards for about 50 feet. Then one time I hit the Skyline R34 GTR head on and made him skid backwards. The RUF, going about 235 mph, rear-ended the Skyline and flew up into a wheelie, running right into me. I skidded backwards some more and then I got nailed by the Mine's Skyline, sending my car high into the air. I came down crashing on one wheel, and the other cars went on by me. It looked like the 3 cars triple-teamed me. I looked at that over and over again on replay (but it sure was annoying having to start the whole replay over just to see those 10 seconds of glory, like somebody already mentioned. They really should have a rewind, fast forward, and pause option in the replay mode) Surely I would have flown over the railing had the laws of GT3 let me.
