Grindelwald is by far my favorite track. It's a great all around track, but I like using it for my drifting. Take a mid-power rear driver (Silvia's are great), and get the tail out as much as you can without spinnin' her. Also, you know the s-turn 2/3 of the way through the straightaway (opposite side of the track to the finish line, all the way up the hill) that has the cow signs? What is the fastest speed everybody's taken that at without hitting the walls or spinning? I've done 168MPH.

168 Aint bad

What do you drive through there at 168? My Audi had no probs at 160 with it, but the car doesn't have any speed after that. My favorite car though... *evil chuckle* 191 mph entering, 183 coming out, 210 by the time I reach the sharp left afterwards. Hehehe, I love having 4wd and 702 horsepower on a car tuned within an inch of it's life.

I'm with DVS on the GTi VR6. Too bad it's not a Gti though it's a golf. Hehe.

I actually like the FTOLM edition for that track. If you set the car up right hitting 240kms up to the sweeper chicane is easy then if your line is right you can do @ 218 through the chicane without touching the fences. It is all in the car set up. My best time on Grindelwald is 1:00.556 is the Escudo but in the FTO I managed a megar 1:08.774

Thats been my favorite track too. Its not full of impossible turns and there are enough straight-aways to keep me happy. But I cant remember the last time I played it.... hmmmm. I think I'll go play it now.
