NSX-R. Can't get an NSX-R GT, I think that's only available if you started in Asia.

you can buy one in the Auction House, thats how i bought my 22B STi and i'm in the European region.

Or you can change of region.

[pimento]

I can't change region to do it, I'm pretty sure it has to be unlocked as level reward. Also I have no proper internet here so I can't use the auction house. Still, I'm happy with it how it is...

[elliotti]

Work at it. I managed a best time of 1:49.479. I think a 1:49 even isn't outside the bounds of possible as I lost some time in the last corner doing that lap.

If you want to pay you can change region by pressing the right button and buying your way to Asia.

I think I may need to play with some NSX-R's later.

I was once 0.333 ahead of my fastest time at the first split, but I blew it. It's altogether possible, but bleedin' difficult!

Also, if I change regions I'm pretty sure the car will remain locked as it's a reward. I'll just hit the auction house once I get some intarwebbles...

i find my standing laps seem to be a lot neater than my flying lap

Nope. The car will be available to purchase if your in the right region.

On cold tires? Odd.

[clutch-monkey]

yeah it's wierd

[pimento]

You're not pushing so hard because you know it'll not be a record lap, so you're going at 7/8ths. It's tough to get into the right mindset when you are on a flyer, just stop watching the clock and start concentrating on making it smooth and neat, corner by corner. Do that for about an hour then link it all together.

[Birdman]

I know the problem but I'm getting better. I really need to spend time on this as I'm messing up the second half of the circuit and ruining my good laps.

[elliotti]

New best is a 1:49.328 in a Honda NSX-R GT. Should have been faster but had some issues at the final chicane. Will work at it and I think I can get closer to that 1:49 even.
