Not sure if I will be able to make this race. I am having a hell of a time getting a handle on the GT500, even with Sainted's help. I think it is just not working with my driving style. I can rip off a single fast lap, but the rest of the time, I am fighting it for control.

Are you allowed to change cars if you haven't raced it yet? I just want to make sure I am not a rolling chicane.

sorry to hear that but you are allowed to change your car once in a season but the admin (Pred) give you a choice of three cars that you have to choose one of them (could be anything from an Aston Martin to a Volvo)

I would say though try your car out on a proper circuit (one with more corners and make sure you have full downforce on and see how you cope with your car then decide whether to change or not)

Hey Geekspeed, I think I could help with your car, just send me a friend request on xbox live, I will be there late on saturday but if u can wait u might not regret !! Welcome in here!!

If i can get my disc to work again tonight we can get on and do some laps (not on lemans i think i need a break from that track xD) and we can try and get it tuned right. I was only able to hit about a 2:14.0xx in it at Sebring when i tuned it up, and even then getting below 14.5 there was a battle and a half lol. It may have been a weak choice in the fact that you have little to no room for PI improvements due to the massive HP at base, but you can make it work. Id say that a car in GTC should have at least 6.5 handling at base PI anything below that and youre in a missile lmao. Will you be on around 8:30pm EST?

If anyone can help you though it would be Gambit, if you do join a room with him send me an invite

After one HECK of a week, my eyes are tired my body is weary and my attention span is ZERO. I will be fresh and ready to rumble when the sun next rises. (See ya on track tomorrow for many hours of Red Hot Racing!)
