Just thought I'd tell you lot that the 5:54 run by the Japanese guy was done in Arcade Mode, essentially cheating. The handling is far superior in it, upto around 10 seconds can be knocked off the time.
And, as for nicolas(0202), he's now ran these times (maybe even a bit quicker now, they're getting old ):
1. nicholas0202 < Audi R8 (Stage 4 Turbo + NOS) > 4:55.871
2. nicholas0202 < Audi R8 (Stage 4 Turbo 1053 hp) > 4:56.43
3. nicholas0202 < Pescarolo C60/Judd (Stage 4 Turbo + NOS) > 4:56.9
4. nicholas0202 < Formula Gran Tourismo > 4:58.7
Awesome
