Better at racing games when you've had a few?

So far - I've still got to try GTR2 whilst under the influence, but on things like Gran Turismo, I have managed better laptimes after a good couple of bevvies.

What this proves/disproves, I've no idea. Do I drive like 92-year-old Norris in his 1.0litre Micra whilst sober? Crikey. There's a scarey thought. :S

I'm wondering if this is the trick that BenR manages on his GTR2 laptimes? Maybe a single lap is measured in hours for him normally. Then he nips to the fridge, necks a 6-pack of Stella and within 5 minutes, he's a certified track-demon.

For real. I've been In The Zone so many times when I'm loaded. Many a time I've woken up in a houseful of snoring mates after a night on the tiles only to see that I've posted post-pub laptimes that are untouchable. Some of my best driving has been done after 100 pints. Really quite strange!

Me too, also with games like Gears of War too. Played it on insane with Blooor one night when I was wrecked and we got pretty far lol.

I remember one night when I was sozzled on Xbox Live playing PGR2 with a load of crazy Japs. They couldn't understand a word I was saying or vice cersa but we had a great laugh, and I smoked their crazy drifting jap asses! Ahh the memories
