@aboothman yea the zonda r is a prize car so just gotta add some more mods on it.best i can do with the oval is 7-8th andi dont even try the rest



i was watching movies while playing the super GT series,thank goodness for PIP but i cant even imagine the 60+ laps up ahead
OMFG my wrists and hands hurt after that. I wish i turned off force feed back aka unplugging the power. I still havent driven a spec since

But like you say, we were recommending a car under a million that would make you competitive

The Zonda R IS a gift car, ya know? I forget what you have to win to get it...google it.

As for B Spec drivers, I am finding that a good Hot Head driver can be better than a high level chill driver.
Yea i started out with a middle of the road guy
then went to a middle of the cool
then middle of the road
Then went for a hair to the hot
Now for my 5th I am going for full blown crazy and dude actually passes and bumps people
I like him the best Just as long as he doesnt spin

Word is you should use one or 2 drivers for all of the b-spec until you hit the enduro races. Once you do, the new drivers will level really fast while you still have the high level drivers to get most of the race done.

Anyone mess with the paint colors? The LFA comes in Matte Black, bought the car and got the color. Then gave the car to my 2nd account (being in Canada I needed a 2nd account to use gift cards up here) I then got the car and the paint which I can give back to my primary acct have more copies of paint.

So now I have a matte black Ferrari F-40 and matte black wheels on my Electric Orange (Ford Focus color) McLaren F1.
