I have memorized this track thanks to Gran Turismo

[@VirusTornado]

+Mulkyan Me too. I literally know which gear to be in for each corner hahaha.

[@superjervis]

+VirusTornado Umm,the gear depends on the car and hp,tires,setup..smh

[@VirusTornado]

The Opinionator The gear depends on the car mainly. I've literally driven over 200 cars around Tsukuba in Gran Turismo. Also, cars have different gear ratios. Most cars would taken the first corner in 2nd gear for example, no matter the power. You might short shift into 3rd for a smoother exit, but that's beyond the fact.

[@gabrielo6232]

Understand the NSX is as good as it was against these cars because of its lack of power and great sports car build its more of a tame car, as oppose to the Vette and Ferrari which of course have more power and are deeper into the future with there engineering but damn 600+ hp is just a tremendous amount of power to try and tame with spinning out. Look at that Vette in the straight line on this vid and it is killer, but Ferrari had the advantage with a little less power but a more maintainable car. And Max Tuning I agree with you on the 370z it is a beautiful car yet understand these cars that beat them are way above the class. But if you try and compete then you're on your own.

[@07wrxtr1]

+Gabriel O'Malley Agree! I like that you can get 80% of the performance of those for about 30-40% of the cost, plus the Z will prob be a lot cheaper to maintain over the long run.

[@johnulmerRacing]

+Gabriel O'Malley The conditions are favorable to a lower HP car. This track is short and tight, and it's very cold. The higher HP cars are going to struggle for grip. A normal day at a track like Road Atlanta or even worse Road America, you'd see a huge difference in lap times. I'd guess at least 7 seconds.
