I agree. It's blindingly brilliant. I just can't make my mind up which way round is best. Reverse direction is currently my favourite.

Yes. I used to be a big fan of SS R11 in GT1. A combination of a long lap, long straight and short, tight turns was great. That chicane was my favourite bit (once you've got the technique, it can be negotiated at full throttle in most cars). But, alas, they've modified it now and taken out the whole tunnel/chicane section and replaced it with another hairpin and the lamest chicane in the world (you can straight-line the damn thing!). Still, that big-wheel in the sky line looks pretty with all the different-coloured lights... ;)
> Looking forward to Monaco (Cote d'Azur).......
This circuit is quite good. Initially I thought I wouldn't like it, as all the F1 racing games I've played featuring Monaco have made it a complete b*stard. However, in GT3 it's quite good once you've got the technique sorted. My only niggle is that it takes a lot of concentration to run a course that's so stop/start on a long race. But, then that's what makes it such a challenge. Oh, and here's tip - don't try and use your huge horsepower motors on the circuit - you'll get beaten by Lotus Elises every time. What you need is a small, nimble, lightweight car with a decent amount of power. Acceleration, braking and handling are the key here - not top speed.
Anyone want to sell me theirs second hand?

But the new Tokyo R246 is catching up fast! VERY fast!
