Interesting Article on the Relevance of the Nurburgring

Pretty good read. This just assures me that all published lap times from the ring should be taken with a grain of salt. But I'll still enjoy the youtube videos

Not that one, I'll have to dig out the game and run my stock car again, I've pushed the minimum lap time down to the point where you need to be well into the 7's for the game to record a score on the Nurburgring.
I've spent most of the time trying to optimze the Mustang for my driving style (I dont really care for the analog controls - even though they offer better control) to exclusion of everything else, but I might start fiddling with the GT(40) in my e-garage and see what I can do.
In any event, IIRC on a bone stock Mustang I cracked the 8's

Now that would be nuts
They have GT500's in forza? GT4 came out before the GT500 was revealed, it sucks. I hope they have downloaded cars in GT5, that way I can have all trim levels of the new stang in there
