I can't believe I've actually modded the S. First time I've ever modded a car. The brakes are starting to bed in nicely, and will be fully bedded in by the time I've arrived at the ring.
Hopefully I should have lost a few more kilo's by Easter. Best mod you can do
Are we nearly there yet?
Edit, I name this corner Galgenkopf. On GT4 this is really tricky, as if you get the line just right, you can keep the accelerator nailed all the way around. However I would never try it for real.

Unless your windscreen shatters into pieces (which it shouldn't anyway by being laminated), this should be OK.

windscreen - a device for preventing flies, bugs, etc from getting into your teeth, eyes, nose.
Plus it's about 1.5 secs quicker to 100mph and 15mph higher top end without.
That's why a full face with visor is advisory for my car.

David - I managed to get two lids into the boot when I travelled to the Ring with my former Griffith owning mate. The secret appears to be stuff the helmets full of smallish stuff to avoid wasting room, but mainly pack all your stuff into squishy holdall type bags.
Some careful packing - and voila!

the best way I found to learn it was exactly this.. 3 sections.. and learn the section to a good 80-90% before learning the next.. doing as one long lap is too difficult.
if roughly by time - assuming 9minute lap .. this is how I split it..
this is from start to adenau forst.. (3mins)
to Karrusell (6mins)
and then the final section..

Exactly how I've been reading it, well, the really quick bit before the twistys, then Karussell then the fiddly bits followed by the last few bends before than banzai bit down the main straight Best on Arcade mode whilst racing is 8min 9sec, although that includes a bit of greenery
So onto another point....... Karting huh? Fancy a wager?
