Default Guaging interest in GT4 Competition...

As the title suggests, myself an fordel are guaging interest in a GranTurismo 4 Competition in Arcade mode around Nürburgring in a Stock Typhoon, Post here if you are interested, have not worked out what the prize will be yet, but it will only be minor.

Basicly the idea would be to post your times, obviously honesty needs to be a factor, but arent all Ford drivers honest?

Ok people, here is what is up for grabs....A signed Ford hat by Marcus Ambrose, could be worth something one day. The competition will run until April 30th so HEAPS of time to practice and for those people who have not got their copy yet to get off their ARS%'S and buy it. I will post a pic of the prize as soon as I find out how to post it up here.

Had a punt, 8:58 first time round, 8:36 second time round. I think I need to get used to the track a bit more, I'm going off in way too many places and breaking for corners I can take flat stick.

Yeah that's what I was doing too, thing was I had a window behind me and it was a real sunny day today so there was heaps of glare on the TV screen (curtains are taken off because we're painting) so I couldn't see very well either.

Hmmm First time in a Typhoon around the 'ring was a 9' 17.005 affair. Involved a few offs and some general nastyness. Though I was impressed by the 5th gear in the automatic transmission going down the last straight at 230km/h
