H'm interesting that they put that In there. Does a dui conviction stay on your record forever or a certain time?

Forever in most states... A violent crime conviction is less likely to follow you around and can be expunged from your record.

In Michigan after 5 years: Assault = Expungable; DUI = Still paying for it!
Kinda BS, IMO.

I have a couple friends who have lost potential career paths, etc because of a stupid decision or simple ignorance (most people don't know where the limit really is).

it was frustrating.. i can handle myself around a track in the real world and if cars drove like how they had that thing set up we would all be dead in a ditch somewhere

I noticed something very similar where I would always be 1-2 seconds ahead of my ghost first half of the lap but then fall back last few turns...

I was very far from top spots so I just gave up and accepted gold as good.

about the car is setup horribly. The rear breaks out too easily.

for me i would try to run my best lap every time so i would be running full out every lap and that usually meant me going off or hitting a cone somewhere in the first half that or getting one turn wrong and having too much distance between me and my ghost and just retrying..so i think all that added up to me doing the first half of the track many many more times than the second half thus i without knowing it got better at the first half and thats why i believe i would lose my lead toward the end

Good theory, I can see that being my reason as well. It was frustrating to get a 5 car length lead on my ghost, all to lose it on the last few turns

Oh and I'm just doing this for fun after I realized I have no where near the skill level in the game to.compete with the hardcore guys.

so guys how did you do? I managed to get gold in 8-5 but only cracked top 5000

spots. Those top times seem crazy

Who has a Chaparral 2J I can borrow? You can put it on Internet loan thing so you don't even lose control of it, I can just borrow it for a race...

Just thought I would share that with you... Cant stop playing GT5 now because of it. its like a whole new game...

that was me a few months ago. Whole new game like you said

I have the gt wheel. So only 2 pedals. But eventually want a seat + the Logitech g27. Hypothetically though don't you get faster lap times using 2 pedals (left.foot.on brake right on gas) and sequential shifter.

The difference is minimal for me and I like the clutch/6sp feel.

I moved from left foot braking to right foot braking when I got the three pedal setup and the actual H pattern shifter seals the deal. I've got the Fanatec CSR and the clutch support is a little better in Forza than in GT 5 and I've been playing more of that lately.

I notice lately a lot of people are getting into the fully racing seat with the metal frame which enable you to mount the steering wheel and padels with the tv.

That's the ultimate setup probably
