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

Any of you guys playing this game with a Wheel setup? I recently got the Logitech G27 that has a Wheel with forcefeedback, a 6 speed shifter and pedals (gas, brake, clutch) and i have to say, its pretty freaking awesome! hahaha. Just thought I would share that with you... Cant stop playing GT5 now because of it. its like a whole new game...

Wheel with 3 pedal setup, 6sp gear changer, and Playseat racing chair! Got it right after Forza 4 came out and I've been using it for both.

Damn!! that playseat is serious haha.. Typically I would say, "if I had the money...." but seeing how awesome a setup it is, in reality its "if i had the ROOM...." I need a mancave!

Well, I started GT5 over but if anyone wants to race... Pelican170 on PSN if you ever see me on...

The wheel is great but without a proper racing chair it just doesnt live up to its potential. IMO a racing setup is a must.

I bought a cheap wooden furniture dolly and when I'm not using the chair, I put it on the dolly, roll it into the corner and it fits flush against a wall in the corner of my living room. It was pretty much unused space anyway.

Zaggeron on PSN here.
