S stands for Super..
Super Class AWD Battle!!
Kenji, Maverati and Lord Zod Oz in the back in his green and gold WRX..
This paint is now out of date - I've added more effects to the bonnet and given this blue to TnTzuidema..
Below is a string of pics, being in order, taken on ALMOST EVERY corner. Mugello Long.
Right off the line these two Jap specs blew the doors off that euro pig
Lord Zod Oz
..and then when it came to the 1st corner Maverati was right there with us..
Unfortunately the Diablo doesn't have the braking capabilities to match - its fat!
If your wondering how fast these things are moving, look in the distance, Mav hasn't even made it back to the track and we're already top of the hill entering the corner.
Mugello Long = LEFT not RIGHT!
After a brief interlude, we were back into it with the same intensity..
Then it was my turn to leave the track - only just enough for Lord Zod to get in front for the last corner..
Note: see the gap we have here? (last corner to straight)
Note: see the gap we have here? i.e. WHAT GAP!
..and then HAAARD on the brakes..
Another quick break to allow a catch up..
There are two cars in this photo..
From the above angle my car is hidden in Lord Zods loss of control :)
Which ended up all the way round..
Then, another loss of control that i was following too closely..
Check the braking marks - i tried to stop!
There was just NO way to avoid..
Meanwhile - Maverati is driving around by himself in his still clean Diablo SV.. So i called him to come meet us on the last corner.. and we both began to speed towards the meeting place.. (Mav was moving in the opposite direction to meet us)
...only for us to enter the corner at the same time, from opposite ends, at a rate of speed that didn't allow for on-coming traffic..
Maverai skill-fully avoided me by doing the ONLY thing possible, and that was to swerve left off the track and into the wall.
Which is a pretty shitty way to get wrecked.. being a clean but distant 3rd the whole race.. only to have the host ask you to meet him at a point on the track, and them him cause you to wreck..
Note: The next replay in my saved list was a rematch of this race, except it was now - GTR vs WRX vs GTO - it looked good, and i'll have that up in the next few days.

I just cannot bring myself to mounting wings on these supercars, it makes them look so unsightly...
Bring out more wing variants with adjustable downforce Turn 10 otherwise I'm gonna do something I'll regret...
well unfortunately these cars at this level demand it.. i hate the ridiculous forza only wing also..
I only put the Forza body kit on S class and above because, as Kenji said, you need the downforce.
yeah the forza only is retarted, as kenji says in allmost every race i did with him the other night, most of these cars come with adjustable downforce from the factory!!! cmon turn 10 get with the program heh
in the next few weeks i will compile a detailed list of the hilarious mistakes and "liberties" taken by Turn 10 - i'll list them, and make its strikingly obvious how utterly and insultingly unacceptable this game really is.
Is incredibly easy for Turn 10 to shy away from these elements by boasting frame rates, damage models and down loadable content.. Then we all forget the stinging list of problems.
FORCING us to use the imaginary "Forza" adjustable down force is only one of the many blatant insults.. In all seriousness, did Turn 10 actually believe that people that drive Skylines and the like would FORGET their real life cars' features? of course they didn't.. and what i mean by saying this is its an absolutely fantastic example of sheer arrogance displayed by Turn 10.
Another wonderful example of stupidity was a video of the game designers discussing the 'drive train' swap - the removal and replacement of a more powerful engine in a particular car - LIKE being able to take the powerful V6 engine from the popular Honda NSX and put it in your moms Honda Civic. Mid mounted RWD V6 into the engine bay of an east-west FWD!! THATS FUCKING SPECTACULAR.
Turn 10 you guys are fucking awesome.
