hint: it's a concept car of sorts from a company with a strong motorcycle heritage

(what everyone else is using i don't know, but this is the one that worked for me)

This car is a fvcking beast, I love it, and El Capitan is a killer course. The key is to get lucky coming over that hill, if you can get the car sideways in the air just right and it lands just right you are MONEY and can fly through that corner.

I have you beat, btw...BUT MUST IMPROVE MAH TIME TO MAKE IT UNASSAILABLE@!11411

1:31.450...I'm done. Sick of fvcking up the hill and starting over a bajillion times. Downforce between 1/3-1/2 seemed to be the trick...

hmm, good question. they'd probably clean up eh eh
Eh, not really...most of the cars are pretty much on par with each other, aside from the horrendously underpowered 320i Touring Car. I have the Super Impreza Touring Car that I was going to use, but I discovered with a turbo upgrade to make it competetive it hits 673hp. So, I has a new secret weapon...This track is always a toughie though, not just because of the difficulty but also because of the length...

I suppose I may fork out the cash for an A4 or TT touring car...
