Haha, yeah. There was one particular endurance race on one of the ovals, that you had a chance of winning the Formula 1 rip off car in. I was fecked if I was sitting through an hour driving around an oval for a chance of a car. But I found that even running up against the outside wall constantly the car was fast enough to beat everything else. So I would start the race, run it up to the wall and sit the leg of a chair on the accelerator and walk away for an hour . Did that a few times and got me Formula car

Ha that is class!

I used to love getting any car airborne on the last bend before the start/finish line in Trial Mountain. There is a left-hander that immediately flows into a right hander to bring you onto the straight- there is a grass mound on the inside apex of that right hander!

Oh and the Castrol Tom's Supra was class

I'm assuming this is normal but its not very cold out so a bit strange.

started car 5 mins ago and sitting idling at 1,500rpm then dies down.

I'd think this to be normal if it was cold out but its a warm enough day

Mine starts at about 1100rpm as settles at about 500rpm. It'll do that all day everyday so for me at least, it's normal.

The temperature of the day has very little to do with it. Its all about the temperature of the engine, which unless you live on Mars isn't going to be affected by ambient temperature.

Everyone knows fastest cars overall in GT1 were the FTO limited edition and the Dodge concept/TVR track cars

Mr Simpson

Artane is my area, but they close at 12 and forward calls to Finglas because they have the same franchisee. Cheers man, but I'm sick of pizza, was driving for Apache until a couple of weeks ago, now I'm working for Pizza hut out Southside.
