Duh....

Ok, you guys should be able to try out the track Justin made called PTuning test track. I forgot I had to share it with friends, so now you can download it.

BTW, I made a new track with the latest track editor, and I still cannot make a corkscrew-like turn with Eiffel layout. Hopefully this track is shared with friends so that you can try it. Pretty fun to drive.

I think I need to try with other circuits to see if we can get something like that corkscrew turn in Leguna Seca.

Oh the Drift Practice #1? Yeah, I made that track to practice my 2nd & 3rd gears low speed drifting.

Does anybody know if the FT will get updated?

Yes but they still got it wrong. A Mk3 Supra guy with a 1UZFE swap was all excited that you could do the same swap in Forza 3, but then commented that they got the weights totally wrong. Forza made it heavier, when the reality is that it is significantly lighter and better balanced.

Forza guys couldn't be bothered to do the tiniest bit of research (Inline 6 IRON block vs V8 ALUMINUM block) and just figured V8 is heavier than I6. Fools.

I don't mean to Toot! my own horn or anything, but I've been going online a LOT lately in GT5 and I am top 3 nearly 98% of the time or I just run away from the competition. I do come across some really FAST dudes every once in a while, one in particular goes by the SN "iRasta". That dude is freaking QUICK, I have yet to even keep up with him. If he's in the room, then I'm placing 2nd or 3rd depending on any other fast guys, but never am I placing less than top 5.

This is including races where they Reverse Grid Order it, putting the faster guys in the back of the starting grid. Several races I've started in 6, 7 even 11th place and come off with a victory.

I spend a lot of the time in the Street Car rooms, something about taking a normal car and making it perform rather than grabbing the JGTC or GT cars. There was this one room though that was set to like a 600hp limit and I was just spanking them every race, that in the next race, I got the Cusco GT car that only gets up to 384hp and I still won against their 600hp cars....

I hate the dudes though who feel it's necessary to bump the side of you as you are passing them, or you are letting them pass you. Like no one knows what the fuck a "clean pass" is.

So I download the track, and it is fun. Up and down in the evening of Toscana. Pretty hard. I think at one straight before a blind corner you are running to the setting sun. Pretty hard driving condition but it is fun.

Any time posted for this track? I think I only ran it to be like 2:55.xxx or something given that I did not spend too much time on it.

The series I'm running with Justin is restricted to 226hp Yaris, Vitz, xA, or xB only. Unlimited mods but 226hp. With his turbo Yaris, a 2:40sec lap is what he runs.
