I'm not clear about who sponsored that, was it Suntrust?

I watched it to see the lap time. Looks like a Star Mazda lap time, plus or minus a second or two.

Neat video. Thanks for sharing. Although, I must say, I've been spending about an hour an evening racing exotics around Laguna myself in Forza. A bit more fun than watching a video. ;) And it's 'exact' (I still haven't hit the corkscrew as well as I think I can'.

Although, I prefer RA.

I'll post a thread in the community forum to talk about Forza and post some screenies.

Does Forza have the pedestrian bridge in its new position just below the corkscrew, or is it still over turn 9?

I believe it is still over T9, as they have the Rahal Straight sign and a few other things that weren't evident in that in-car video.

Cars too fast for you? That's ok, I'm sure 7th grade girls soccer is easier to follow. :D

to bad CCWS is not their to piggyback on motoGps improvments to the track :thumdown:

We are going to race at the legendary Ansan track instead in front of a bunch of Koreans who wont know what a race is at the start and finish of the race.

If you have to pay $6,500 for the SpeedTV incar camara to be in your car, you might as well put your name clearly on the deal so everyone can see it & justify spending the extra money, no? BTW, anyone notice the huge mistake he made in T5? The apex was over there, bro. I can't believe how much faster that car is then the other DP's. You notice it up the hill going to the corkscrew.

Yeah, that couldn't have been a DP car 'cause they're all equal and what not. Also no crashin' bashin' or smashin' goin' on. ;)

Still, a lap around Laguna is enjoyable in almost any ride. :thumbup:

DO U DEVELOPMENT TIME

SunTrust do.

Sorta like how in Champ Car's equal Lolas and spec Cosworths, Newman-Haas keeps kicking everyone's ass.

If you know more about the car, you'll just be faster.

We are going to race at the legendary Ansan track instead in front of a bunch of Koreans who wont know what a race is at the start and finish of the race. I understand the frustration but you have it backwards. It's people in the US that don't know jack about racing, let alone proper race cars. In the rest of the world, including Korea, the average person is much more up to speed and F1 is huge. In fact, that's the exact reason for CCWS having to go to other countries in the first place as that's where the paying audience is currently located. The majority of the people that do watch "racing" in the US want to see Bubba Circlejerk driving a 3500lb pig iron poker that was technically current in 1963. :shakehead
