Right after having words with sayer the other day, thought it would be a laugh to have a mini compo with the same set of rules!
GT4 has been around a while now so dust it off and get some practice in and put up your time!
the aim of the game is just to get a nice scoreboard up and an aim to beat really, not just top place but moving up the leaderboard is always good!

so the rules!

arcade mode > time trial

Nurburgring Nordeschliefe

106 s16 in standard form (116bhp, 960kg)

Tyres of your own choosing!


picture proof needed!

Bloody hell, i thought i was a good driver but i'm getting murdered here! :(

dannygti
20th October 2008, 23:19
i spend a LOT of time on the ring on this game.that was a half descent lap (my second one) but with a perfect lap under 9 is probably possible.

chinkostu
20th October 2008, 23:23
I mean, i used to play it near enough everyday driving on the ring. faster cars i can deal with, its the horrendous body roll and understeer i've got to get used to (seeing as its normally the 155 i'm ragging around!)

i would stay up and try, but i'm actually dying! laters!

edit: and the tyres. i've never used sports tyres, the first thing i buy for anything is racing mediums!

chinkostu
21st October 2008, 12:37
i'm in work at 3 :( would keep nailing it otherwise!

i dunno why, but the best i could do earlier was 9'06 :(

21st October 2008, 13:07
Right well after talking to karl the xbox people want to play to only problem is that forza 2 does not have either a 106 or saxo so we need to find a car to match the 106 s16

Spec of the 106 s16:
Drive FF
Power 116bhp
Torque 104 lb-ft
Weight 960kg
Power to Weight 8.2758

Now on the xbox we have the choice of either:

Peugeot 206 gti 180
Drive FF
Power 180bhp
Torque 152 lb-ft
Weight 1100kg
Power to Weight - 6.1111

Peugeot 207 gti
Drive FF
Power 175bhp
Torque 177 lb-ft
Weight 1281
Power to Weight - 7.32

Renault Clio 197
Drive FF
Power 197bhp
Torque 158 lb-ft
Weight 1240kg
Power to Weight 6.2944

Volkswagen Golf Gti mk2
Drive FF
Power 150bhp
Torque 137 lb-ft
Weight 1010kg
Power to Weight - 6.73333

Honda Civic
Drive FF
Power 130bhp
Torque 104 lb-ft
Weight 1030kg
Power to Weight - 7.9230

Barry123
21st October 2008, 13:40
xbox.... pah.

tbh I doubt it'll be as straight forward as that... then driving and simulation dynamics will differ i can imagine but look...

we might as well try... so long as there is 100% proof there is no tampering with the car in terms of power, weight, suspension etc etc then that's cool.

I don't have forza so I can't really compare which vehicle would be the same though...

ps... I've got a sub 9min ;)

-Jason-
21st October 2008, 13:55
Right well we will go for the 197 and yes the physics are different on forza pics will be uploaded with a number next to the car if the number is different the car has been tampered with should be D and then 3 numbers will update with the numbers later

Barry123
21st October 2008, 14:00
jason seriously... it'll just make this a mess... we're not comparing like-for-like. stick to one console, one game, one car, one setting, one track.

nothing else. if the forza lot want a challenge they can do it between themselves.

21st October 2008, 21:32
well done sayer, top time that. i need to get the game out and try a bit harder me thinks :)

what was the lap like? did you feel like you could of gone quicker? o my 9:01 it felt alrite but i fudged a crucial part of the track up so i think i lost around 1 sec.

thanks man, it isn't what I'd call a smooth lap man. To be honest when I've been trying since I've had times where I was 1.4secs ahead of my ghost, then bummed it all up before the end. so I know there is room to improve but with such a long track and the necessity to carry as much speed as possible throughout it's difficult to put together a 100% perfect lap.

:wall:

good luck with it though man!

How on earth did you get that lap sayer?:panic: do you drive in manual or automatic and how do you take corners do you just cut straight through them like offroad:P i'm getting there quietly i'll try and beat sayers but i highly doubt it:(

Manual dude. Offroad... pretty sure that would just slow you down lol I find most of the time half the car is on the curb and half is in the grass but really it's about carrying as much speed through the corners. With the car you've got to brake early and then accelerate pretty much before you start going round the corner. With gears you want to change around 6750rpm and no later because there is bugger all torque beyond that.

think that's everything but if you've got a question about a particular line through a corner or something then give me a shout :)

Here you go then boys, marios gt4 time!!

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i131/James_Bristol/8-1.jpg

That was from ssc's comp when you could turn power up slightly, but still dont think it will make nearly 1/2 a min diff

I still want somebody to change the weight and power and beat me..nobody on SSc could get close..Was mint..lol

Well i know it aint the challenge but just try the same power and weight then and let me know what you got....

your wish is my command...

looks like ssc can't drive for shit. Plenty for scope for improvement in that time too...

Good for you Sayer..

I set that time about 2 years ago..Only took me a few laps to set it..Of course there is room for improvement, i'm shit at the game..My point was SSC players didnt beat it..

I've moved on, have a proper console with GT5..

thanks gang :)

got a lot of time on my hands though to be fair.
practice makes perfect though... so keep trying and keep going to the end! you might surprise yourself how your times drop if you just keep completing laps... you can shave a lot of time off towards the end as well by perfecting the lines.

Normally my better laps come after 4 or 5 laps into a stint, but then i get tired!

now, something like high speed ring i can cope with, know that track like the back of my hand!

that's the hardest bit really for me... mainly because it's right at the end and i usually give up midway through if I'm just too far behind my ghost time.

in Karussell, remain at 40ish mph until you're nearly round then full throttle... keep in 3rd dont change up (you'll lose speed as the gradient increases). You'll head up towards Hohe Acht you shouldn't have come off the accelerator at all. you dont need to brake for Hohe Acht... just let of the accelerator early and blip your way round... then it's full throttle... really actually for much of it you don't brake just simple lay off the throttle (except before Brunnchen)

Here's from wikiepedia to help :)
