This story has an incorrect fact, the engine makes 650BHP per the loaded website. The ring loves powerful cars and this is a very powerful car. Sure the suspension upgrades were a part of the improved lap E.T. but having nearly doubled the horse power is a larger factor than any suspension or brake changes made to the chassis could produce.

Hmmm, actually, I’d guess GT3 has the ring but I doubt it has that particular car.

Hey Andrew M. Yep I have V8SC3 too for PC and force-feedback wheel. Very good. I’ve played through the whole V8 Championship (by far largest in the game) with everything on (full laps, qualifying, 2 and 3 race format at rounds that had them, the full 161 laps at Sandown and Bathurst). Takes about 24 hours. That was fun.

I didn’t know V8SC3 had the ring? I only ever played our domestic motorsport (plus quick fang in karts) on that game via multiplayer, but haven’t played through the world championship. Will have to dust it off.

Never played GT3 so I couldn’t tell ya. I’ve been hooked on GT4 though, can’t wait for GT5, as I said, hoping it’ll have more Aussie cars and Bathurst.

If you have a go at Seton’s AU XR8 round the ring on super-hard tyres, lemme know what time you got please? I’m pretty sure 06:53.085 is a very good time. With a perfect lap I think I could only go 1 sec quicker.

Yeah priellis are overrated. last car i had em on worn very quick as expected.
next i had Dunlop 3000A’s (the factory ford tyre) and they were just as great until they wore out in no time at all.

hey does anyone else have trouble with edge wear? the main thing that goes is the edges. one technician asked if i went through many round abouts when i complained about it.
i didnt know they were only good for 20,000ks or 12 round abouts which ever comes first.

the hire karts still hit 100k/h. thats fast enough for joyriders.

nah i never have broken a controller i am a very calm cool headed person and never show frustration

add that one to your star sign analysis ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Competitive ha……..,so how many hand controls have you been through? I think my sons have gone through 10 over the years cause when they get annoyed they throw them on the ground…then hammer it into the carpet! Geez its only a game!

I had a couple of gos at the karts but there a little slow the rent a ones….you can hire the fast karts here but there expensive ……..at Barbagello so that could be fun!

Last time I went out I was a bit weary cause 2 days beforehand I had come a cropper around a corner in the M3 and ended up backwards avoiding a tree by about 600mm from my door scared the crap out of me……..tyres had gone off on the back although plenty of tread ……since replaced the pirelis,there over rated anyway!

Yes, V8 Supercars3 is a massive game. I thought it was just V8 Supercars, but it has all the major categories from all over the world that I never knew existed aswell.
