So the search goes on

You lot are sad - I'm only jealous 'cos I'm waiting for it to come down in price.

In the interim I've borrowed Need For Speed Underground 2 [:)] After a total investment of between 30 and 50 hours we have an Audi TT with Stage II Engine and Turbo and 5.5 stars of Bling. I refuse to put spinners and pump up suspension on it (though both of these are on the Hummer) but still need 6 stars of bling to get to the next level.

And I said you lot were sad.

well this time next year GT5 will be due for release, so maybe GT4 will have dropped to £24.99 by then [:D][;)]

Your days of bumming around on GT4 are over daddy-oh. [:D]


Might as well get it up to the loft right now. Or I could look after it for you. [8D]
 
I'm slightly chuffed! Just did the iA license guide lap round the 'Ring in the Merc 190 Evo II is 9:42.392 first attempt!. Yes I could have gone faster (although having to lift because I'm catching the Skyline pace car down the long straight after the mini-Karussel - what's that all about?) but a car that quick was going to do sub 10 mins for a bronze pass with a clean lap driving 7/10 all day long so I drove it a bit more "realistically" to get the tick in the box.

All thanks to a steering wheel; my driving is sooooo much smoother now and that's with the pedals sliding slightly on the floor. Just wait until I have made a "race seat" set-up for it. I have my spare TV and the steering wheel now and I know where in the house I can hide it so I just need an old car seat and a bit of time to knock up a frame...
 
Having just finished mopping up the other iA license qualifying tests I now only have the graduation test to do. A Group C Nissan on a section of the Circuit de la Sarthe (though they don't call it that even though the track is in there - is this one a replica or the old configuration before the chicanes in the Mulsanne or something?).

Anyway it's quite fun how the wheel comes alive at 233mph and amazing how the car handles a flat-out kink and quite scary how much less grip it has when it isn't going fast enough to generate downforce. I'm still around a second from passing it.

Anyway the question: Anyone know what you need to win to unlock the Circuit de la Sarthe? I still have 8 of the 19 world cicuits to unlock and I guess this is one of them.
 
Im still scraping the bodywork off the armco's around the ring !
Maybe i need lots more GT4 practice [:D]
Just glad it aint my real car...........
 
Fen -Circuit de la Sarthe -it's the full Le Mans with the chicanes on the Mulsanne, don't know why they don't call it Le Mans, perhaps some copyright/permission thing......

I've driven it in a Bentley LMP, but only to do the licence.
