    Regards

    I will post the video also if someone will say that I don't have to oversteer.

    I am happy because it was my first time there (like most of fxx customer) and I was the fastest .
    1.59.9
    The second one was 2.02.6

    Bruno Senna made 1.56... with 430 challenge.

    I can be faster than 1.59 but all the fxx has brake problems and many times in these two years It didn't brake and now I am afraid of It. I don't trust in it. So I used to brake to soon and then I had to accelerate again before the turn.

    A professional driver in homestead was 7 sec faster than the challenge

    In Antonio Garcia's opinion (probably the best GT1 car driver in the world today) who has driven the FXX - with proper tyres (Michelin) and a big rear wing, the FXX would be much quicker than a GT1 car.

    Interesting. This is what I was thinking of asking. They sounded very much like GT1 cars, so I wondered how they would compare with cars such as DBR9 and MC12.

    Proper racing tyres and a serious rear wing would make a huge difference, so that the car would be faster than a DBR9 (which is faster than an MC12).
