SCGT, realistic lap times?

So i try Mosport today, or what is a very poorly done recreation there of. And within around ten laps i broke the track record, not just the ALMS record (1:10 or so done by a Panoz prototype), but the 1:09 track record held by some over blown, fully ground effected mono coupe ... vehicle by well over four seconds. (myself driving the fully decked out Panoz GT-1, but still). I was wondering what other track records people have shattered. And, the design of the tracks them selves... Anyone go to the ALMS race at Hockenhiem or Leguna? I went to the inaugural race at Mosport this year and all i have to say is EA have some seriously incompetent track designers. GPL for example, did an immaculate job everywhere, except, from turn 5c to turn 6. The elevation changes are moderately different. (BTW i have many pics if anyone is interested. Of the track by its self or with Le Mans, CASCAR, Canadian Super Bike, and the Vintage cars/bikes on track).

First off ill have to agree...the tracks arent great in the modeling department. One thing they definately fell flat on theyre faces with IMO. Secondly are you running with the physics in the Advanced Options Editor set to Pure Sim (since your posting here im assuming you are). If your not go over to GT Insider (www.gtinsider.com) and get it. It makes the physics ALOT more realistic. Thrid thing is that when you fully deck out these cars theyre WAY faster than they should be in real life. Ive hit almost 240MPH on the Andretti Straight at Mosport (which i think is just a little to fast) in a Porsche GT1 with all the upgrades. Try running the car with none of the upgrades and see where you are. Times are alot more realistic arent they :) Chris

I do have the, hacky thingy. And i do have it set to pure sim. So i'll try with an untuned car.... but later last night i tried the BMW GT-3 that you automaticly get and did a 1:22, at Mosprt. My memory is a little fuzzy but don't remember the odd prototype going that fast. Not to be to off topic but why is there no prototypes? Did the game loose it with the Professional Sports Car rights?

Sports Car _GT_ pretty much narrows it down to Grand Touring only. But the World Sports Car title seems to include prototypes as well. -- Toni Lassila

I've seen some screen shots it does look interesting. Time will tell. As far as prototypes. I have dloaded Ferrari's 333sp WSC car and the Riley and Scott WSC cars. They have done some historical cars like the Mazda & NIssan GTP prototypes. I'm not sure if any of the new ones like the BMW, AUDI, or Panoz Roadster have been done yet. dave henrie
