The car is hoot on this track. But I think I'm already at my limit.

Thanks Dave. Most of that is due to countless laps on this track which looks identical in Forza 2, 3 and 4 on the Xbox. It was one of the toughest tracks for me to get a handle on as there are many turns that I struggle with.

It is a good handling car with lots of corner grip. It's also really easy to see out of. I also find the MP4-12C GT3 car very easy to drive. The Ferrari 599 on the other hand is a handful ... but I love it.

I generally prefer the GT class but thought I'd give this new car a try. I struggle to be fast in these cars as there is a balance between going fast enough to generate the proper downforce to max out the corner speed that is way different than a GT car. I tend to drive the fast corners too slowly. After a few laps I got my time somewhere in the middle I think.

Finally got around to running this car and track. I think I placed a time similar to the other guys.

I'm back from vacation so I ran this car at the new Nurburgring GP track. I only ran a few laps but I think I set a decent time. I'm run this track in a bunch of other sims so I got up to speed pretty quickly but I'm sure my lap is easily beatable.

The apps bar they are referring to are accessed from the game while you sitting on the track. Enter the track then move your mouse to the right side and a side bar of game apps will pop up that you can add to your HUD.

To add to the list of things to try, I spent some time these past few days running different cars at a single track. I've put a solid lap in with almost every car at Magoine. I ran each car stock with no changes whatsoever and I put in 4-6 laps to establish a decent but not super quick time.

Hopefully someone will have fun competiting against me while I'm away for the next week on vacation.

With a little luck there will be another AC updating waiting when I get back.

I'm game for anything really. I'm not great at setups that involve tweaking suspension but I have been able to tweak aero and gearing to some success in the past. As long as the members are willing to share setup ideas I think it would be a great way for me to get some much needed guidance on car setups.

I'm still pretty new to the sim so I'm just having a blast trying out the different cars and tracks so far. I must say that the parts of the sim that are working feel very good and I'm impressed at how solid it seems so far. Really liking the prospects of this one and can't wait for multiplayer to open up.

how about the 599xxx around imola, great technical track, lot to b gaind with good setups.

Sounds good to me. I love the 599. I ran a couple laps to try and set a base time without tweaks but I'm so terrible at setting up cars I doubt I'll be able to improve on my time.
