[font=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]My first impression is it will be a great car, and it will instigate close tight pack racing i feel. The car also has this weird wondering feeling in the front on the straights but other than that i like a lot![/font]

    I'm a digital program manager in Chicago where I live with my wife, two kids, and dog... most of whom are probably sleeping during our races. I raced karts as a kid and now focus on my family, iRacing, and cooking.

2) GT4 is here, have you had time to do your testing? If so what are your first impressions?
[ltr]    I've done a few laps and I like the car so far. More forgiving than the Porsche Cup car but also dangerous if you step out of line with it. I was super excited to see it coming to the service b/c the Cayman is my favorite water-cooled model. [/ltr]

I’m an attorney. I live near Seattle, Washington with my wife and daughter. Just started back with iRacing a few months ago after close to three years off. In addition to gaming I like to try to figure out how to fix things. Most recently the wastegate actuator for the turbo on my car.

2)GT4 is here, have you had time to do your testing? If so what are your first impressions?

I’ve only driven the car a little over an hour. It seems okay. Not my favorite car to drive.

1)Tell us about yourself, what do ya do for a living, hobbies, married, kids, pets etc...

I'm work in product design and definition (CAD stuff) for an aerospace company. My main hobbies are sim racing and snowboarding, but I like to golf, mountain bike, bowl and hike with my GF and dogs, as well. I also recently got into woodworking. I tend to bounce around when I get bored or need a change of pace, which probably explains why I'm not all that good at any of them. Except snowboarding. I've been doing that for like 24-25 years and I'm a pretty solid rider. I'm not married but I have a long term, live-in girlfriend that will probably end up with a ring at some point. No kids, yet. I have 2 spoiled rotten pit-mix pups that are both around 5 or 6. 

2)GT4 is here, have you had time to do your testing? If so what are your first impressions?

I am really enjoying this car. It really rewards the slow in/fast out mentality, and that's something I've needed to work on. I also think it'll provide awesome racing. I'm definitely hyped for this season.

Nice! We’ve had a lot of our signs around there in the last 10 years or so for road closures and detours

Loving it so far!  Just got new HE Sprints last week, so I'm learning the car along with real braking at the same time   Looking forward to battling with Gary in the GT4s this time around!

2)GT4 is here, have you had time to do your testing? If so what are your first impressions?
The GT4 car looks fun to drive as I progress to battle in 2 stunning leagues. I also have been practicing but slow at this moment but hoping to get faster as I progress to understand the car.. Within my first league here. I am hoping to build up some points and be around the back so around 15th place is target.
