Big online VX fest soon?

That would tempt me to get my subscription back online details in here, i'm up for that.

I dont know how you guys are so much faster! Snoop, you must cheat!

Go through the circuits one at a time and see where you're losing the most time. There seem to be a few areas where you could make up time - on New York for instance you're a good 3.5 seconds off the pace, and there really isn't that much to that track.

11 seconds off on Suzuka too, which isn't that hard to get a decent time on - just need to put in a few laps learning the track and then do a clean lap.

I have done that, and I seem to just be consistently 3/4 seconds behind, except for a few. Is that New York one the one in the GT40? I fcuking hate that car!

Have you tried following some ghosts or watching some replays - I think it's relatively easy to download my (or any of yours friends') ghosts or replays in game.

New York is a bit of a bitch, but not really that much to get right - just need to make sure you enter the corners slowly, exit quickly, to maximise your speed on the straights. Enter too quick and you need to be off the power till the exit and then you're 10mph down all the way along the straights.

Suzuka you really should be able to get a decent lap just by driving it about 5% below your fastest - there's only (I think) 2 unsighted corners that you need to brake for before you see them on Suzuka in the car they give you, the rest it's just a case of driving what you see.

by 'at the moment' do you mean 'still playing' or 'playing right now'

Iv picked this up again recently and loving it - although I have to sleep now cos Im knackerd! (been playing football every night this week - i am fcuked!)

Iv been looking for a decent race for ages - everyone online seems to be mentally retarded.

We should arrange a VX race in the next few days, anyone?

Knocked a couple more seconds off my overall, still not quite into the top 500 though (527 currently). Getting harder now, although there's still a few tracks where I've got a bit of a rubbish time. Would be up for a race night sometime, although I probably won't do very well - I'm more of a one lap wonder ;)

sprry just found this post!
yeah i meant actually at the moment :lol: bit of a long shot!

i would be up for a race night im not very good at the game but i think it would be fun playing with normal people as opposed to a bunch of paraplegics who seem to ram you off the track!

Could all agree on a night, short notice but tomorrow evening say about 9 O'clock? gamertag in a list then set up a room invite in and we are away. Might be better with a different thread started this one was more for the time trials I think.
