I've gotten to the point i can accurately work the gas and brake button at the same time with my thumb, sometimes using both at once to load up on corners. 
I know i'm giving up some to the wheel guys, but i really don't think it's that much at all.

You have a Celica... enjoy!
Thanks Brad.
Probably leaving here in a bit, can't make it through a day of work just yet it seems. I'll head home and mess around with it a bit. Need to take another look at the rules and see what i can come up with. 
The thumbing worked great but I prefer the fingering method better, more control......oh wait.
First lap in my SBC car was a 1.56.201.
Still have a LOT of tweaking to do. Have some more weight to lose, and i'm only sitting at 178hp. Was hoping i could get the 207 target without turbo, but it's not gonna happen.
Going to try to hit a 1.54 before i finish prepping the car. 
Heh, ok, that was easy.
on which track?
Special Stage 5, hope that was the right one...
This challenge is bringing up an interesting quandary... I can (and just did) break into the 1:50s, but holy smoke show. I'm not sure if even comfort tires are going to last the full race with this thing.
(Got it to 206hp )
meh... My 180HP seems inadequate.
Tires were a challenge in the last series for sure; I don't think anyone pitted for tires in round 1. This series events are 10 miles (on average) shorter.

I think with my previous 178hp, i could have hit consistent mid/high 1:52s.
With my current 206 HP, i'm consistent low 1:51s now, but it's exhausting to drive, and will probably be REAL interesting with a bunch of other cars on the track.
I just threw down 5 laps all between 1:51.1xx and 1:51.4xx. Not sure how 17 laps of this will go. I'm counting on having to pit at least once. If not for tires, but for a spectacular wreck.
I am making 206 hp with the Alfa and did not have to pit first round
Now you guys aren't using the power limiters right? I'm only at 191
I only did a 1:50 at best
and 92Celica, sweet! Now I have a drifting buddy because ask Dave or TJ....
hopefully we don't wreck lol
As if you'd know if you wrecked me anyway, you can't see me!
Nope, no power limiters. I have EVERYTHING possible on this car except for Stage 3 turbo. (It took Stage 3 engine and Stage 2 turbo for me to hit 206hp )
Also weird... i think my Isuzu makes more than yours, but it's still under the 207 limit...
Yeah I mean mines at a respectable 191-192 and it handles decently but yeah, just was curious, is it the GT-R?

Nope, same thing as yours. 117 Coupe. Actually, i just looked... I've got the Stage 3 turbo kit on it and i've gone over the limit, i'm at 239hp right now.
I still have more power to make, though. Don't have Stage 3 engine, and haven't rebuilt this motor yet, either, it's pretty high miles. I bet you could shuffle stuff around to get those last few ponies with no problem. (Celica will still weigh less, though. )
Oh, yeah mines the 1600 GT-R. I have it fully tuned everything but the turbo, it worked out perfect haha, not as light as some but powers there and rear wheel drive to throw it around I have mine worked out so i'm not gonna mess with it, just refresh the engine every now and then and change the oil lol
Ohhhhh... i had the 117 as backup, so we wouldn't have been the same either way.
I was thinking of using that one but saw I had this one I just wanted one that I figured most wouldn't pick lol
... Too bad this isn't a time trial. Just cracked the 1:40s.
Alright, Brad, he's flagged!! lol He had this game for 3 days and he's kicking our bums!! lol
welp i'm gonna throw this race away
I've been trying to break into the 1:39's in my miata but i'm hovering around 1:40.01 (SOO CLOSE!) in honesty, though, I haven't really been practicing (I can't even tell you what my SBC car can do, I simply don't know) because of school stuff. I probobly won't even make the race tomorrow because of a paper I have to get done quickly. I won't make next week either, I know that for sure. School is really ruining my videogame career!
It's all talk until the race happens.
well in that case i'm getting 1:25's!
