Nurburgring lap records...

[francis mcquaid]

my mate has done a 5.01 on GT4. Any better out there?
U can use any car u want. He used all sorts until settling on the bently.
Use arcade mode so u can put supersoft tyres etc without spending your hard earned cash.
Sub 5.00min anyone?....

just watched it. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!

Was that speeded up?

[chriswright]

Don't think its speeded up, the clock runs at the right speed.

[s2gonzo]

May not be speeded up, but it isnt kosha.......

In the final corner for example he drops the speed down to around 100kph, yet hes well over 250kph when he crosses the finish line!!!!! And taking the final kink in the main straight at 391kph without any tire squeal? come on...... not possible in that car at all. In fact he takes the left kink in the first downhill straight (before the 90deg right) at 394pkh, yet again, no tyre squeal. He also takes the uphill yump (always forget the name, so sue me ) at way over 340kph... yet doesnt become airborne?!? at all!!! hmmm.... funny that.....

The car is erm..... modified beyond the standard programming (Me thinks using something like an action replay?). I have the car used (The Minolta Toyaota 88c-v race thingy) and it is not capable of those bursts of acceleration or cornering speeds no matter how much you put into it or what adjustments you make.

Mental note... learn the bloody corner names!!!!!!

Is your minolta tuned up to 1001 bhp? I doubt very much that it's doctored in any way.

I've seen a sub 5min video of someone in the f1 car. That I can believe because I've done 5'01 in it. I would love to find out that the minolta time is fake along with all the other crazy times in the evo competition because I can't get anywhere near them. Even if I tune the cars to the max and play about with the settings or if I play in arcade where you can boost the power and reduce the weight. Closest I got with the Sauber C9 was about 5'05 I think, and that was a perfect lap as far as I'm concerned. I can't see how it would be possible to be 20s faster with line variations etc.

Totally agree with you.

The C9 is the better car than the Toyota no matter what you tune the toyota to. Seen the F1 car and that is beleivable as the F1 car does have silly grip levels, but the Toyota doesnt.

Its bloody hard work in the f1 car as well, it tries to bounce off the track all over the place!
