not the best of cars (skylines) bit clumsy to say the least.

A well sorted nissan 200sx handles better than any (pretty safe to say that) R31> skyline.

Whats that? A corner? Nah.. We won't bother with them. Just bodge it until we can get it back in a straight line...

He seems to have difficulty braking...
I like that fact that the start gives you the impression he's going to thrash everyone. Then he gets passed by the Evo and the CTR, and they scamper off into the distance! :D
I can't say I was much better than that at the Nurburgring in the Coupe, but I had dodgy brakes, and there are a few more corners at the Nurburgring... (about 70 more).

I wish I wish you could leave comments.
I like the narrative, "take the **** out of everything else" - or get left for dust by two sevens till the long straight.

What a gret big tuppence Bill is.

I don't get how he "takes the ****" out of everyone? He drives around the corners poorly, then blitzes a few people on the straight? He can't drive for sh*t :D

Actually the GTR was the first production car to lap the 'Ring in under 8 minutes :)

It depends on how you define a corner. What about minor kinks in the road? I think the "official" figure is 74 corners, but some people say nearer 200...

But this is another case of "The car's willing but the driver is a bag of horse manure"

I would be more worried about you running standard brakes & them lasting more than a lap before fading big time. ;)
Mine lasted 9km around the Ring... less than half a lap. And I did 6 laps (not consecutively).
