I find this very intresting. I've never seen Forza's Nurburgring before. It's surtainly different to Gran turismo 4's Nurburgring. I'll have to try and record it.

Many people think Forza's Nordsliefe is a better replication than GT4, but GT4's is more accurate in size, Forza's is about 1 mile shorter.

There's a ton of cars in this game, I've been runiing an SRT10 around the Ring, and now a Z06 and a C6. Anyone have a request for a car? I bet there's a few cars I'd have trouble keeping on the track.

poo poo, I must be a total loving nerd because I've almost watched the whole thing.

Those Group B cars really get me hot. Steel tube and fiberglass never got so good. WRC is rather lame compared to driving one of those crazy fuckers in a rally.

I had some serious flash backs from my childhood watching Group B rallies on TV.

Edit: Here's what happened to Henri Toivonen in the last year of Group B. At about the 2:30 mark they show the charred remains of his car so you can see that it was essentially steel tubes and stuff on top to make it look like a car.

You are arrogant and come across as spoiled on the forums, and overly-aggressive, not to mention inconsistent on the track. You may think you have God's own can handling "skillz", but I've seen a hundred other amateur racers who're just as good. I've seen a couple of your videos, and in every single one, EVERY ONE, your aggressive nature on the track has led to an incident. Hell, you loving spun another car in the second half of those PIR videos you posted. You could have had him on the preceding lap, SAFELY, if you hadn't gotten so excited by being close to him that you hosed the corner entry and had to recover.

That may be how I come accross, but I hope you realize that Arial can't bring you every bit of a person's personality. Everything I type is typed with a smile on my face, well not everything. I realize that you guys can take things like "REAL RACECAR" and put it up there with the kid showing off his dad's M5. Sorry to come accross like that, I'll try and not...do that.

(Btw, that came from a thread where some dumbass was trying to get me to spend $2k on a car to race him on Pinks or something, I said I spent all my money on a REAL RACECAR. As in, road racing, not drag racing. It was a joke, ha ha.)

He was blocking me the entire race, and constantly down the straight. He protested me that race, the stewards looked at my video and told me not to worry about it.

Besides, that was last year, it was my 6th or 7th race EVER.

quote:

If you were racing in any real series where it cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to fix the damage from your little "incidents", or where the course officials could fine you as much for your antics, you'd be singing a different tune, and I'm sure that the sponsors or your team would be putting pressure for the same. You may have brought home some finishes, but that doesn't make you the next big thing.

You don't think it costs money to repair a Miata? It costs me every cent I have, well I don't spend it all, I have some left over for food and gas...and Hondas.

quote:

Sure, you can put it all down to the fact that "everyone in AI's just JEALOUS 'cause I'm LIVIN' THE DREAM!". Sure, I'll admit it, I'm jealous. I'd love to have mommy-and-daddy give me the money to race for a season instead of going to college. I'd love mommy-and-daddy's friends to "sponsor" me for racing, too. But just because nobody else in AI has been fortunate enough to had a year's racing paid for by Pop doesn't mean everyone here is talentless or too scared to go waste their professional lives trying to be a racer.

You're right, but then again I get poo poo left and right. Whether I'm talking about Formula 1 or how to diagnose a problem. I get a lot of unwanted attention, whether that's jealousy or something else who knows.

Btw, it's a pain in the rear end to get sponsors. But I have a few, mostly free parts and work, some cash.

quote:

When you post the typical, immature poo poo like "LAWLS DRIFTIN' ROUND A ROUDABOUT IN MAH RACECAR!!" that is quite obviously frowned upon here in AI, don't piss and moan about how nobody respects you because you're young. The reason nobody respects you is because you are, as I said earlier, an arrogant, mediocre, coddled, spoiled 20 year old who has yet to face life's realities and will, if he's lucky, have a career racing professionally, to be thereafter referred to as "traffic ahead" on all the sportscasts when you get lapped by the truly talented drivers.

I thought this was a place where car guys bullshit about cars. Sorry, I'll keep it to things like whats the best way to change my oil and can you recommend me a new car?

quote:

Your asinine attempts to refute accusations that you are just that, a talentless footnote, are even more pathetic due to how obviously you're overlooking the fact that you are being teased for being a gigantic human being with an overinflated ego, not for being without talent. You're not being teased for saying "I can drift my Miata around a lightpole with only 6 inches clearance!", you're being teased because you think that there aren't a hundred million other people in the world that can do that. I know it comes as a gigantic shock, but you are not pretty and unique snowflake. You are just another loving slob.

Alright man. Well how many people here have dismantled an entire Miata, only to put it back together again? How many people have torn down an entire Honda and rebuilt it into a whole new car? How many people have set a track record? How many people have raced fender to fender with pro racers? How many people here have been told they have talent by Randy Pobst?

Yes, you too could do all these things. Problem is, I'm the only one doing them.

Wow, you go to college, bravo. I bet you have a shitload of pictures of you and your friends drunk that you could share with us. That's cool :thumbsup:
