If you highlight their name and select race this ghost (on the leadeboard) Their ghost will apear for the 1st lap, on the 2nd lap you will have two ghosts.

One is now you.
I believe that only works if a replay has been stored (a
top 100 time, or a former top 100). You can tell if a
replay is stored if there is a symbol in the 'paper clip'
column..., or just choose Tourni', KC's, or Simon's time, which tend to meet the requirements stated
in the first sentence... :)
When you click on someone else on the leaderboards select "race this ghost" instead of "launch race". This will let you chase their ghost. I try to pick a time more than a second faster than I am aiming for so that I don't end up right behind the ghost for the whole lap and it gets in the way!
that is when you stop Church, you may have reached your ceiling on that track for now. The consistancy for hitting that though will have made you faster overall by a little bit.
The next track will do the same again, and again and eventually you can go back to here and nail your time :)
Well done Mr. Church, well done indeed! Correctly label Parcells a quitter but it's very relaxing sitting back wtching you guys beat yourself up over this. Keep up the good work fellas you know you can do better!

what's a 10th, its nothing! Definitely achievable with another 50 laps or so
50 laps!!!!!!! I hang it up after 10 or so depending on the track. I've found that the grind of trying is not compensated with enough time reducton to make the game fun. Life is too short. At least at my advanced age.

Yeah, 10 laps would be extreme for me. 3-6 usually and on to something else. I agree.
And you explained what I was experiencing exactly Tourni, I think the brake control was the difference.
I need to give it a proper run tonight and make sure it can achive top 30 or more. I think it can, but there is a niggle with it that i think could be worked out.
It makes perfect sense, alot of people do the odd fast lap and think how the fuck did i do that. This is the point where the frustration kicks in big time, you know damn well that you can hit that time but why can't you do it now? Then you start picking up the little things you were doing, adjusting your technique to hit those times every lap.. Eventually a faster time will come as you start pushing those boundaries. There is a fine line between pushing them and knowing when to stop.
I can tell you now that there is .5 sec in your first section :) This is where i nail my ghost, but i cannot get through the fast left hander as fast as i did.. My ghost overtakes me there :(

There's nothing more frustrating than getting overtaken by your own ghost! Or being miles behind it for half a lap and then almost beating it at the end having made up loads of time!
You're right about the buzz man, the last time I managed to improve my fastest time I had such a rush that I had to go and stand outside for five minutes to calm down!
I am now also starting to worry about my VAG addiction, might need to see if there is a clinic nearby I can check into........
I really don't want to try Laguna again, if I see another dirty 1.35 I may just lose it. The little voice in the back of my head is getting louder and louder "go on you know you want to". I need a good shrink.
Can I load someone elses ghost?
I can "Launch race" against someone but that persons ghost doesn't seem to show up, only my own.

I can't seem to let this go, if I have a chance (get permission) I will give this 1 more go to get that illusive 1.35.
hotlap bug has bitten fitzy :)
and it ate church lol
I can safely say you have that the wrong way round.
Worst thing is I know I will be on for an hour tonight. Need to get that 0.2!!
Make sure she is in bed and is wearing earplugs then your good to go.
Done. Time to burn the car and Nuke the track.
1.34.875
Well done Mr. Church, well done indeed! Correctly label Parcells a quitter but it's very relaxing sitting back wtching you guys beat yourself up over this. Keep up the good work fellas you know you can do better!
Fixed
@ Church - Very very nice time.
But why give up now? One more 10th and you would be in third place.....

Nice going church :)
I'd like an unlocked version of the Elan tune please, when its ready.
I need to give it a proper run tonight and make sure it can achive top 30 or more. I think it can, but there is a niggle with it that i think could be worked out.
hahaha that is pure evilness.. :D
Fuck man!
I was down on the first 2 turns and I slid slightly on the fast left after the C/S.
Got to be at least .2 there!
I might give her 10 more laps tonight see how I go.....
One thing I have learnt is while I race I look too close to the front of my car!
Once I realized that I have been doing this forever and that it was wrong I started to look at the apex of each turn and not 15ft in front of me.
My AVG time dropped massively from a 35.3 to a 34.9. I was hitting 34.9s every lap then I got it with the 34.8
Maybe this is some good stuff after all!
Oh yeah this is like a drug. When I got the 34 I was buzzing big time. Now I need another fix but to get it I need to go faster.
I need a Coffee as I just read what I have put and its all gibberish and I CBA to edit it

Don't i know that, I wanna stop the car, get out and kick the fucker driving it...
Fitzy, it'll be rude not to :D Just a quick go.. :D
Yeah Fitzy. If I can do it so can you.
Tourni I do believe I have already said it but it's worth saying again. I hate you.
I hopped into the newer tune last night and could not catch my previous run? And YET! I thought it felt better...(?)
