So, i was having a great time with the car/track combo until my niece did a nose dive off the couch and kissed her face of the coffee table. Busted her chin open. And since my sister cant drive, (brother in law dropped them off this morning for a visit, my nephew likes to watch me play racing games so he was pretty happy the race was today!) i had to drive her to get stitched up.

I told my nephew to leave the ps3 on, since i was hosting and i am not sure what would happen if i quit the game and put the car off track, i hope he didn't get in any ones way. Apparently he also told you guys i was sorry for leaving. I didn't expect him to do that, but he is a people person and very polite. I assume the msg got out fine, as i said before he watches me play GT alot so i assume he knew how the chat worked.

Anyways, my apologies for missing this one and i hope my abrupt departure didn't mess anyone up. See you all next week

Well, I guess I'll share my time then. 2:36.750 as a very fast qualifying time for me. I can see how a very talented driver can break 2:35 though. This track is so much fun!

Bah, my best is only a 2:37.690. Looks like I'll have to find something extra, though it's a long lap, and a few small mistakes add up a lot to the time, so if I drive a perfect lap I should be close to you.

34 is easily possible.

Edit... Sorry.

I can almost taste 2:35 but 2:34? Unreal. I can see 3 spots where I am losing time but I just don't see a full 1.5 seconds after that....

Edit: ok 2:35.477 but it's at my limit. I f'd up two corners and I can see an additional 2/10ths but that's it. 2:34....ugh lol

We can still adjust the setup, even though tuning isn't allowed, right? I'm guessing that covers new parts, not setup?

I believe that you are not allowed to change anything except abs (+brake bias) and tcs.

ah, ok. Good to know now rather than 5 minutes before the race.
EDIT: Lap time down to 2:35.467. Might be a couple of tenths around, but I think I've just about hit my peak.

EDIT2: Awwww yeah, 2:34.944
