GT4 challenge?

[NoHachi]

Hi,

I've had GT4 for quite a while now and notice that I tend to play less and less (didn't do it that much to begin with..).

How about to keep things interesting we try and set out some sort of challenge?

Some fun propositions:
Fastest All Out lap of the Nordschleiffe in arcade mode. All cars allowed.
Fastest lap of Motorland in a Amuse R1 (seems to come closest to ae86 driving behaviour)
Etc.

Anyone up for that?

Just like you i dont play it that much anymore but i have a Nordschleiffe record time on my memorycard.
I wish i could have a laptime like this with my MR2 in real life.

I bought the game, past the licence tests (again, as i found them amusing),
bought myself three white Hachis, an NA tuned, a Turbo tuned and a supercharged as my car is and then... stopped playing...

Borred.

Work/family/girlfriend/friends leave me little time and to be honest I prefer spending it playing Pro Evolution Soccer! I love this game!

Hmm ok,

My fastest lap for the Nordschleiffe is a 6min 05s. Driving a Astra DTM with max.power, min.weight. All 4 wheels on the asphalt.

I know that it is possible to do the nordschleiffe in under 6minutes with this car, it just gets freaking impossible to achieve that without crashing. I was hoping that someone would do that and save the replay.

I usually do 2 laps a day, to busy with other things. Just like to try and keep a feel for the nordschleiffe, wish i could go more often in real life.

I will try to match your time No Hachi. Minje is 6:25 with the Woodone Supra (max power, min weight). I'll let you know tomorrow.

You can actually buy a supercharged now? Or can you upgrade to one?
(if I say something stupid, the last Gran Tourismo I played activly is GT2 )

just like you can strap a turbo on a hachi, now you can put on a supercharger too. not all cars have this option availible (as not all cars have tubos availible)..

i still play gt4 quite alot. mostly drifting, and i think i have gotten pretty good. noneortheless my skill has improved since i started playing this game. gt4 was all new for me coz i started the game using DFP, and i have never b4 used a steering wheel for games. but months have passed and i think i got the hang of it.

I will post some vids i have edited of me drifting etc..

intrestingly after all that drifting and driving i have done w/ numerous cars, now i find it the most amusing drifting w/ a 170 hp hachi on "road" tires (u need to use ful throttle or the car wont slide.. this is how hachi also trains u of precision steering work, as the throttle must be slammed to the ground at all times =) )... and the 400 hp FC. : ) which is a really well balanced car - havent done much driving w/ the fd...

s2000 is in my opinion the best handling car in the game.

its my 4 minute long drift moovie from gt4. i know 50 mb for only 4 mins! i was a newbie in editing.. it was actually my first composite movie, and i have put several hours into it.. (only used win movie maker - basic / so no fancy filters, transitions etc.). though the clips are rather old. "my" fc only had some 250 hp back then - road tires.

hope ill have time for som more editing to bring you the ae86, r31, fc, and some more..

I personally dont play this game much any more, but I switched it on the other day and hammered my AE86 around El Capitain for a good 20 laps. Running 240bhp all NA, and a sorted chassis I managed a 1.49, and a 1.44 with nitrous activated all the way around.

Personally I think with some setting up the 86 is one of the best handling cars in the game, so very like real life.

Can anyone imporve on my time?

Cheers
