Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

I am fairly certain that I would be much more cautious in a real vehicle

You'd hope so, but there's money on the line and I'm a trained driver - so you've got the pressure of keeping up or staying ahead.

I'll intentionally throw myself into a corner wrong so that if you follow me you end up in the wall because you can't get back on the racing line.

Shit, I might have to take a Miata against your Cobra... LOL

Unless you've had a ton of real world practice, I should be able to win for a while. Eventually you'll get it sorted out and catch me. Then I'm fucked 'cause I'm in like a Miata or something.

I have never driven on a race track but I have driven like a crazy idiot speed wise in the past. I made an 1600 mile journey once in less than 16 hours and I used to take my 68 Tempest to 130mph on this straight five mile stretch of highway that had no where for cops to do stopped speed patrols every day. So I do know how to push the accelerator pedal to the carpeting in a vehicle and steer at the same time!

It's a fuck of a lot different on a race track. It's nothing like driving on an open road, it's more like driving like that - on the roads that go through your city. You're either mashing on the gas pedal or you're mashing on the brake pedal. If you have a straight section, it's only for a handful of seconds - time enough to try to get a breather and maybe a drink.

Then, you not only have to mash your gas and brake constantly - you have to do them at the exact same time every lap. It's called 'hitting your marks' and it means following the exact optimal line because a race is often decided by thousands of a second. Then, pit stops... Man, those fucking suck... It'll take you 20+ laps to catch up 10 seconds. You can lose 10 seconds in a pit stop simply by making the tiniest of mistake - and it doesn't even have to be you making the mistake - it doesn't even have to be someone on your team making the mistake, as in another team's behavior can slow you down.

Racing is frustrating as all fuck.
