Just a quick reminder... If you have an alternate acct. that is registered in another country, ex. England, you can DL this now and yes, it's exactly what I'm doing.  I might have to DL the US version later on for Academy purposes, but I'll get a little taste of it a bit early.  :)

Man, that is awesome. Look at how the rear of the car is lightened under braking and how the front right corner suspension is compressed. Impressive. Did the driver not have a face yet?

He does, it looks like it's an open face helmet and the driver's wearing one of those white fireproof ski mask hood things on though so it's hard to see clearly.  If you look closely you can just make out a pair of eyes in there :).

So I would be really interested in trading track notes with anybody willing to do the same. I was watching one of the videos posted in that thread:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0q5kcM4FLgs

And noticed that on one particular corner, the driver was really trying hard to late apex. If you have any track notes you are willing to share with your fellow Tuna to help us all go a little faster, I promise to ding the Karma button a few hundred times for you.    :)

Meanwhile, I will try to share what little knowledge I have as well.

This is more of a visual thing... but when cornering, the scenery alters bit shifting the way the car is swaying.  When you see the car leaning, so does the background.  It's pretty cool.
BTW... You get one lap around Silverstone when you first start, then you buy a car, which is a Leaf, then off to Autumn Mini and Suzuka East.  You start will 100,000 credits and the Leaf will cost you 45,000 of that, plus for the races you win, you'll get 8,000 cr. Anyway, back to it.  ;D

OK... Next up, you buy the 370Z (GT Academy) '08 and run it on Grand Valley East and Autumn Ring.  10,000cr for a win.

I'm so glad Amazon is sending me a million dollars with my GT6 purchase.

I really wish that:

1) I wasn't still at work
2) I wasn't going to the gym after work
3) I wasn't have dinner company over tonight
