Gran Turismo 4 road challenge...
- Thread starter BMXman
- Start date
Were their any points for the bonus challenge?
Oh god, just saw the 350hp max...I was about to buy the Chaparral race car (the one with what looks like turbofan jet engines coming out the back) and blow everyone apart 
lol...I think this challenge is going to be really fun...D
1:15.922 to start things off. Need to experiment with cars/setups more before I can nail down really good laps.
hmm..nice so far I'm down to 1.16.455
replying to an ancient post on the first page: try getting all golds in the licenses and then tell me they aren't hard.
1:16.952 in a car 100hp under the limit...
My original auto selection (Renault Maxi Rally Car) proved to be ill advised.

well, let's see those extra 100 hp (and how many lbs?) net you another 2.1 seconds, bucko.
i thought about that rally car as well, but i remembered that the rally cars, as originally set up, are oversteering monsters on pavement. no thanks.
(my car had exactly 350 hp when set up, but only 320 and change in the replay. go figure.)

I'm currently using 3 different cars trying to figure out which one is best...D
torque's not so key if you maintain your speed in the corners, heh.
i thought the car choice was pretty straightforward for this one, as the power maxed out just right, the weight was good, and the downforce better yet. setup actually helped, too: usually i set it up with a bit of steady state understeer but hong kong seemed to favor a tail happy balance...
of course, one of you with a different car (or with mine) might come up with a time 2 sec faster than mine yet and i'll have to rethink...
Most of the cars on my list are British...
The Miata may need to be considered, however. It is a relative piglet...

I just got 1:10 in my car.
Sadly, I was using nitrous...too bad with the nitrous I was at about 350hp...

same here...although I did give the Suzuki another shot but it runs better NA than it does with boost...unfortunately with NA it's just underpowered. Looks like I've narrowed it down the the Motor sport Elise or the Tommy K...D
lol...I was all set to call BS until I read your 2nd sentence
...right now I'm at 1.15.735...DI was getting consistently better times with the Suzuki on boost than NA, but you're right, it just needs a bit more oomph. Oomph meaning nitrous.
That car drives so well thanks to its wide stance and ridiculous weight...it just needs a biiiig turbo to make it totally kickass.Have you considered the TVR? It's heavy, but what it lacks in lightness it makes up for in torque...I put down a 1:16.925 (again) with it, but I don't know if I could squeeze it for more. A better driver probably could. I'm not doing well in the Elise Motorsport...it just seems to slip and slide all over the place. I can't get quicker than a 1:17.5 in it.
down a half a second from my last time with the Tommy...DI was getting consistently better times with the Suzuki on boost than NA, but you're right, it just needs a bit more oomph. Oomph meaning nitrous.

What do you all set your brake controllers at? I usually only go up to about 5 or 6, swapping bias depending on the course. Do any of you go higher? Just wondering.
I'm at 1:14.322 in the Elise BTW

I am now on a mission to break 1:14.000
OK WTF why won't the pic work?

it's because you have that extra t=whatever stuff at the end
matchew's time:
i'm going to concede on this one, too, as long as i maintain 2nd place. i actually haven't messed around with brake controllers on cars that don't come stock with them at all. i still haven't figured out what 5 vs. 30 means on them, and it seems a lot easier to screw up the car's braking than to improve on it.

i set my brake controllers up depending on the car....i prett much keep them below 12 with the front a little stronger than the rear...unless it's a FF car then the front is weaker. If it's a 4WD car I keep them even....D
yeah I switched back to the Suzuki and now I'm down to 1.13.527
1:13.706 in the Elise...
The Suzuki is awesome simply because you brake so late for corners. I found myself trying to drive the Elise like the Suzuki and I was slamming into **** left and right.

I'm doing the opposite and braking early...since I have been doing this my exit speed out of the corners is awesome...D
no worries you have almost 'till the end of the week...I think I can break into the 12's with a perfect lap...Dsweet jeebus. i'll have to get on this later today
oh sh!t it's on now
hey no one ever told me which cars they were using for the top speed challenge??...D
I was wondering that myself...
1:11.988 NOT in the Elise unfortunately. There is still room for improvement, that was not a perfect lap.
If anyone can brake 1:11.500 ---> mad props

nissan r92cp. setup is key -- it's not as simple as dropping it and killing the downforce

Looks absolutely awesome, finally there will be around 20 cars racing at once. I may have to get a ps3 and HDTV just for this single game

what would it take to make a car wheelie?
