New Gtr At Tsukuba Circuit

[Beer Baron]

it looks really nice in Red...nice photos mate. did it look agile around the circuit or still too heavy?

it looked and sounded great on the circuit. very stable, not much roll at all, so if you just saw it humming around a circuit you would not know how heavy it is. looked very sharp on change of direction under the dunlop bridge too.

maj, flappy paddle looks and sounds awesome. superfast shifts with just a mili second of rev cut as it bangs up through the box. i think the DSG will be awesome. a friend in japan has driven one and he loved it.

Interesting how everyone that has not seen the car in the flesh or driven it has an opinion on how shitty the dsg gearbox is. The car looked very capable around the track and as far as i could tell the dsg seemed awsome seemless shifts so much so that you could hardly tell that it was shifting. And i doubt that the weight will be an issue as it was lapping at a good pace for a standard car around a very tight and tricky circuit ( Mark will attest to how tricky this circuit actually is as i dont think gran turismo can give an accurate grasp on some very technical parts of the circuit) . I think once the modified examples are unveiled they will silance all critics

Nice work there

listening to the gear change as the r35 was fanging around Tsukuba, the gear changes were damn fast and especially qick on the down shift!

the car was just amazing on track for a stocky.

lol, they used my pics with permision and I had the shame chat with a mines man and nikurra-san, and they gave out the list of parts available. so he may have been referring to me, though I think you definitely posted first so maybe they just repeated your info. but if you can get paid for it, put me next in line! beer baron is not too proud to accept charity!

LOL was just having a dig as it seems that they have copied my post word for word. But in saying that I am not adverse to accepting some form of payment if it happens to come my way. Was i bit of a shame i did not get to meet you over there as i am sure we probably unknowingly walked past each other on several occasions.
