    The best I could do on Côte d'Azur right now is 3rd. Those Chaparrals are very difficult to beat with the XJ13.

    I have a fully race modded Z06 and I swept all the races in All Stars. Full downforce settings and adjust top speed depending on the longest straight on the track you are on. Break away from the pack as quickly as possible and pull out to an early lead as the faster cars will catch up within a couple of laps. Tokyo will be tough.

    As an aside, the race modded Z06 can also win Like the Wind" race two. Don't bother race modding a ZR1 because you end up with the same thing as if you'd used the Z06. Same set up applies, full downforce, top speed set to 242 mph. Aggressive blocking on the last straight of the last lap, all corners taken flat out. Use the view in which you can see behind you.

    I just ran an awesome race on Côte d'Azur leading the first 3 laps but once the Chaparral caught me I couldn't hold him at bay. I ended up finishing 2nd to the Chaparral but I was 19 second behind him.

    Anybody gotten a Lancia Stratos yet? I'm guessing you have to wait for one to come by the Used dealer... Ah well, waiting...

    Can you loan it to me? I am out of town this weekend, but would get my races done early next week, and return the car to you mid-week, if that is ok.

    Much appreciated. Will return early next week, if that's ok.

    RacerX, did you get the P4? I sent it to you last night. I don't need it back anytime soon, just wanted to make sure I sent it to the correct person.

    FYI, I've been using the Mazda Furai that I won a while back lately... man, what a car! Just doesn't have the top end to keep up with some of the le Mans cars down the straights but boy can she fly around the corners. Does anyone have one in something other than the grey color that they don't want? I'd gladly take it off your hands!

    I saw one in the used car lot yesterday in white but it was $1.5M I'm still saving for the Peugeot 908 so I had to pass it up.

    I think I have one of those.....does it look like a LM car, with a wing on the back? Distinct Mazda looking front end? I have one that I won the Japanese Classics race with, and was lapping the field! I think mine's green.

    I'll have to check what color my Ferrari F430 is. I know it's blue but I don't know if it is TdF blue.
