Gran Turismo 4- blast from the past time trial championship.

[Shuvi]

A couple of times I've been 5+ sec's up at the check just before Breidscheid-the bridge over the road at Adenau, so a sub 7'20 is on.

It may take a while and you may end up so far off road that you find the missing pieces of Niki Lauda's face in the attempt, but what the hell, give it a go.

Edit too add:

Today I did a 7'26.003, but then turned the machine off without recording the wondrous moment for posterity.

With my first couple of laps, a few days ago I was too tentative over the first half of the lap, and aggressive over the second. Since then I've been faster over the first half, but, too cautious over the second half so as not to lose the gained time. That's meant standing on the brakes so as not to understeer wide, lifting to get a little oversteer on entry, generally, going slowly.

[MATT427]

might have a proper crack at it today
how long does each challange last? till no thinks they can go quicker?

[Killer2005]

When I get my new tv plugged in with my ps2 I'll have a sustained effort at moving up the timing tables, I only did 2 laps before

[philmar]

Once again ive had no time, i may have the tv and ps2 to myself tonight so might get a few laps in at last.

[patmahe]

I'm hoping to give this another go tonight and with a bit of luck keep it all together for one good lap to take the frankly embarrassing look of that leaderboard

getting better,finding time by launching the car sideways into the bends

[MATT427]

i just haven't the mind for this task. i get so anoyed when ur on a flyer and make a mistake, you then have to wait enought 7-8 minutes to see if u beat best time, i wish i'd chosen that little japanise circuit, if i could have remember its name haha

[Alfanatic]

Yep I give up. Had two sessions this weekend and can't touch my posted best, never mind beat it.

[valve bounce66]

me done also,every body ok to let shuvi pick next track/car ?

a short track hopefully

[MATT427]

yeah i argee a short track, who ever chose the ring corr wat a stupid idea and person

[Shuvi]

Hang on. The take away has arrived.

[philmar]

just had an hour on it, 7.39.323.

could have got 7.30.00 ish if i hadnt spun in the stupidest places!

Next track!?

[Shuvi]

New York reverse.

Street tracks are short and unforgiving.

[mchammer89]

Will be reunited with my PS2 this Thursday so may get some laps in for this one.

[patmahe]

Autumn ring mini in Suzuki Cappucinos or similar? Assume they are available in arcade mode. At least it'd be a short lap.

ETA: Apologies hadn't realised Shuvi had made a choice already.

I really don't mind. The winner normally only pick the track anyway.

[Alfanatic]

The Protomotors Spirra is a lot of fun at New York, or so I hear. *hint hint*
