BTW the best way to learn The Ring for real is the BMW schools, they rent the whole track and you do 2k sections all the way around the track for two days plus lapping in the afternoon each day...all in M3s, it is fantastic.
Paul what kind of car because I currently have some exotic rides on that game so my times can vary depending on the vehicle. I say we go wireless with our PS2's, too bad Smoggy can't play GT4 for nothing. He drives like my grandma (trust me I know).

Let me know what car you were using (probably the Ruff) and its modifacations and tires so we could compare oranges to oranges.

If not I will be using this race car: Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK-GTR Race Car '98.

It's the 1989 Nissan group C car you win after the driving missions are complete with a stage 4 turbine upgrade and super soft racing tires. I don't like the Ruf in the game (unlike real life!), it does not handle well. The BMW CSL is nice though and the Nissan JGTCC 350z. How do we "go wireless" on the Ps2s?

Correct! The Ring Taxi is BMW M5, and due to insane amount of practising, the lady who drives it get times under 8 minutes. And that's with passengers onboard!

That is sweet, I used to live in Bitburg, which is like 40-50 mins away, counting traffic and did the same thing many times. It is a sweet track no doubt.

Damn, I don't have that car yet. I always leave those driving missions for last because they take so long to beat. Yeah, I know what you mean about the Ruf because they really do suck on the game. They look nice but handle terribly.

Unfortunately there is no online play for GT4, bummer. We would have to get a similar game called "Forza" but it is only available on the XBox. I have the XBox, but not that game. So what do you say Paul, should we go the Xbox route and have it out
