I almost broke 2:28 barrier with default setup. I'm pretty pleased with myself.

What are the settings for this car? Baseline , default setup? This car has 3 stages, what stage did he use?

EDIT: damn, it's the very first word in the article "The Step 1..."

Hey, my first lap was a 2:30 and change. And I certainly a left a lot of time on the track, including a glorious 4 wheel drift that while a lot of fun lost me a full second somewhere.

But I am not sure if I am racing legal. Is the setup default?

EDIT: 2:28:05. Getting closer. Was he using street tires maybe? This is the first time I get this close to one of these videos (and only having done maybe 7 laps overall), so I have to wonder if I misunderstood the setup. Track Green, stage 1, default setup. Correct?

By the way, Yesterday I took the Lotus 49 at the 'ring. I wasn't able to finish a timed lap, but it was a lot of fun. Maybe you guys can setup a bonus round with the Lotus. It's truly a fun ride at the ring and wonderful sound. Much better than the initial sound it had.
