When is the cut-off?
Gran Turismo 4 road challenge...
- Thread starter BMXman
- Start date
updated....D
Do engine mods include exhaust/intake?
Mess with the suspension and it actually handles pretty well with some super slicks on it. But it's really best reserved for fast courses like Di Aria.
nope...only the mods found in the engine section...D
Yeah...shifting is overrated...
so anyone have any times yet??...I won't be able to race until Friday when I get back home...D
So we have to do Suzuka.
In an Ruf Porsche. What does 'ruff' mean?
With no engine mods, no nitrous.
Best time wins.

I havn't had a chance to play yet, and I just realized I'm out for this challange and the next. I'm leaving tomorrow for vacation in NY and won't be back until next Monday. I'll join in the fun then though.
Wow, sounds familiar, forgot to play and I'm leaving for North* tomorrow morning.
I'll join in next race
I had a time at one point, but forgot it and bolted the huge turbo to my Ruf to win the Supercar festivus. Perhaps I will give it a go again this evening.
well I have added 2 more races so that everyone gets a chance to race 10 times....and I'll just take everyones top 10 finishes....D
good call, thanks!!
What cars can we use? Seriously. I'm a bit confused on this part.
Hate to be a spelling Nazi but i believe it is RUF not RUFF
EDIT----->> 1:52.818 after about 40 laps with probably about 30 resulting in trips to the sand traps. I needed to put the ASM and TCS through the roof in order to make my car stable. 150mph+ is tricky w/o much downforce, fun challenge none the less.

1:52? ****, I thought I was doing well with a 2:12...
What have you done to the car suspension and gearbox setup?

I hope that Turbo doesn't count as an engine mod even though it's not in the engine category, if so let me know so i can get some laps without it!Aside from the possibly illegal turbo i set the ride height about 5mm from fully slammed, step up the spring rate, more negative camber , kept the tranny setting the same after buying the race leval, thuper soft tyres, race brakes and brake controller set w/rear brake bias, finally go all out with drive train upgrades.
Oohhhh, you have the Stg 4 turbo that gives you nearly 1000hp...I believe that's not allowed 
...I was like, I know I'm not a quick driver, but 20 seconds? DAMN!
My car is close to slammed, slightly stiffer absorbers (only running semi-race), and tranny set to 3 (topping out for about a half second altogether on track) got me a 2:09.5something. Mind you, this is w/o the huge turbo upgrade.

Yeah, I read more carefully and i think I am blatantly cheating with the turbo.Oohhhh, you have the Stg 4 turbo that gives you nearly 1000hp...I believe that's not allowed

Those cars are almost impossible to drive with that much speed. Ill log some LEGAL laps tonight and see what i can get.
lol...no turbo's....D
1'59.901 with NO TURBO this time, I have photo evidence if you want. Much more control and fun without 1000hp .
Car setup:
RUF CTR2
camber- 4 front 2 rear
ride height at 85mm
bumped up the spring rate
super soft tires
brake controller at 4 front 4 rear
tranny at auto setting #12
Good luck

yeah, i got a 2:15.072. not great, but at this point i just wanted to get a time so at least i'll be ahead of those getting a dnf. i probably could've done much better seeing as how i went off the track twice during that lap.
I need to b-spec for some super softs, race suspension, and the brake controller. Let me get a few Coronas in me and the fun shall begin!

I'm using the CTR yellow bird...I found I could get better exit speed out of the turns than with the 4WD CTR...D
I just did a 2:04.225 and thought I was fast. In the CTR. I may have to get the yellow bird.
Can we put in #'s for setups?
:59 mins left right?

Currently at 2:04.067...
I know I can get it faster, but maybe only 4 seconds or so with a couple better line choices and entrance/exit speeds. And racing suspension. And a cage.

So I'm on the East coast and you are on the West coast? I have 2.5 hrs to get my car running? Or should be rightoeuos and quit at midnight in our respective time zones?
Crap, didn't think to try that. I'm done for now, got to rest up for highland tomorrrow!
Under 1000kg stock or modded?
And Jet, I'd assume it would be 3 AM your time as he did say midnight PST.

How about a rule stipulation? You have to submit at 12PM in your time zone. I'm on the East coast, so it's 12:30 here.
So the Lotus...everything goes except nos, rihgt?umm right?
