Perhaps the most famous track in Japan, Suzuka is also one of the oldest. In the early 1960s, Soichiro Honda wanted to race in F1, the highest level of racing in the world. To do this, he wanted a track in his home country to demonstrate that Japan could compete with the West. A piece of land close to a Honda plant was chosen and with that, Suzuka (originally to be called Motor Sportsland) was born, opening in 1962. Suzuka is unique as being one of few major racetracks anywhere that follows a figure-8 layout—the back straight passes over the front of the track. Suzuka is a challenging 3.6 mile course, with a final chicane in the Casino Triangle area that was the scene of a famous on-track flap (and off-track controversy) between Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in 1988, and a dangerous pair of large-radius turns known as Spoon Curve and 130R (i.e., 130 meter radius). There is also a difficult series of S-curves (turns 3 through 7) to test your car's composure in transition. Spoon was redesigned in 2002 to be safer, and the Casino Triangle chicane has been revised several times over the years to control speeds going into the final straight and pit lane underneath the famous amusement park carousel. One of the best places to pass is the final chicane, but miss your braking point and you'll find yourself in the service road and losing positions fast. The return of the Forza Sports Car Series to Suzuka Circuit will be a historic event and challenge for each racer to overcome.

This one here in the Civic is actually almost exactly as fast as ST. The lap time is a 2:20 or so time which makes it a very good comparison as far as what i can find on the internet. Shift points are also similar if not exact to people who use 5 or 6 speeds (not the Caddy's/American cars). Watching this a few times could really help with braking points and turn ins.

Attempting is the key word there. I've gone .7 faster than your pb in a 735 viper and I'm sure Speed is quicker than me plus the extra pi
Edit. Please dont edit my posts to bold certain words. If I wanted them bold I would have done it myself.

Did you wake up with your baby panties on dude? I was poking fun at your comment. I also did NOT edit your post at all. The ONLY time I EDIT a post is when profanity is in it.
However you are not in GT. So it's not relevant. You are in GTR so umm hush up! You worry about what you can do in GTR. I will worry and trash talk to GT in good taste without your interjections! hmph.
