I think you think far too much about sliders and dials. If the car aint fast enough, Turbo. If it doesnt handle well, weight reduction and tyres. Simples.

You clearly don't know much about modifying cars. You think racing teams just bolt stuff to a car and that's job done? Why do F1 teams spend hours practising before a Grand Prix? Because they are dialing in the car so it can perform the best it can on that track. A team wants their car going as fast as they can, if they are at Monte Carlo and it means lots of downforce, short gear ratios and a short faster steering rack then so be it. Take that car with that current setup on a track like the Hockenheimring or Monza and you'll be left for dead with a car sluggish on the straights and with severe stability problems.

I've just hit 191mph in the 62' Buick Special. Only thing I did was buy it the most expensive transmission as I thought it'd redline and decrease speed like some of the other muscles, but even without me adjusting it, it hit 191mph. Wooooow.

I just hit 189 but the race ended so it probably would have gone higher.

It was a real surprise Chelskiman, never expected that of an old muscle car that to my knowledge wasn't one of the big powerhouses.

Got my GT-One, things an absolute beast, unbelievable grip and speed. Whilst testing it out, it made me wander why there wasn't no Endurance races at High Speed Ring and Eiger Norderwand. I love both tracks tbh, both have pit lanes and yet aren't used? I'd much prefer Endurance races on small tracks and both are really quick. Seems a bit pointless to add a pit lane for the Eiger Norderwand track if it isn't going to be used. After all, it does take about 50s to get through it as well.

Eiger has a Pit Lane?

Mate, it's a computer game. Get over it.

If you can win the race without trying, why go faster? Winning is winning, time and distance mean nothing. Oh, and saying "mate" is a turn of phrase, wake up, the real world is calling.

Managed to get *bleep*ed off with this game before I'd even played it before. Apparently it needs 8GB to install but the 55GB I have free isn't enough. So now I've got to wait 10 mins for anything to load.

Dunno, it told me I had to delete 1k+ MB off my hard drive so I quit the game and checked free space - 55GB. Deleted all my music off anyway and it still said I needed about 900MB of space. Stupid.

Well I got it to start installing but now it seems like it's stuck. FML.
