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

[skylinecrazy]

I doubt anyone on here will cheat.

So people can declare there times via word of mouth (unless you've lapped the ring in 25 seconds in a Suzuki Alto)

If you're interested, we'll start off with a list of names.

What would the "technicalities" be, Dan? I've not followed the other championships and I can't seem to find the rules for them... IE: Arcade/GT mode? Control tyre? Mods?

Well, to be honest with you i haven't thought about it! Any ideas that you would like to put forward?

I think it should be done in GT mode.Agree on a car and state of tune.Soft compond slicks only etc etc Driving aids off and no NOS.Mike

Sounds like a plan. As long as we don't choose silly expensive cars

wildoliver said:

Agree.

I'm in.

Can we choose something amusing though as opposed to the usual jap fast car/german fast car or corrado.

Something like an alto or 2cv would make for an interesting challenge.

Go for it.

You can now choose the first combo.

-Skylinecrazy-Alex@POD-Luckynumber72-Itsallyellow-dutchgray-alfanaticI know Wildoliver is to choose the first combo, but I would like to put forward a suggestion.. how about Alpine A110, standard, on economy tyres (the slowest ones) at Tsukuba?

Edited by Alfanatic on Sunday 28th December 10:52

Anyone have any problems with this?

[skylinecrazy]

Shall i set up a poll?? Then it's sorted .

[skylinecrazy]

Ok, the poll is set up

[skylinecrazy]

The Alto steams ahead in the poll.

Can I join in? God knows when I will be able to get near the TV though with an endless succession of ancient films. I will try to book it for 10 minutes at some point over the next few days.

Course you can

Anyone can.

[skylinecrazy]

The Alto seems to have won..

Economy tyres, arcade mode.

And still no driving aids right? You don't want people staying on the track much then!

The driving aids are up to you.

wildoliver said:

Ok so we doing ruf - trial mountain yes?

BTR/Ctr?

Standard car?

Tyres?

Economy and standard car.

[skylinecrazy]

wildoliver said:

BTR or CTR.

And do you mean economy or just the standard tyres it comes with (I assume sports med or soft)

I meant the economy tyres

And BTR we agreed on didn't we?

[skylinecrazy]

wildoliver said:

So at the risk of looking dumb buy the car and fit any economy tyre of choice yes?

[skylinecrazy]

I must be really slow then

I can't get below a 1:52!

ok,just done a 1,50,491. after half bottle of wine and 3 cans of stella with analog controller,steering wheel comes out monday,this was in arcade mode is this ok ?

Doesn't sound too bad, I had a quick go this morning, couldn't get below 1.51 with TC, and 1.52 without...

I can't help feeling the economy tyres let it down a bit though, instead of taking risks to try and take that corner a bit quicker, I find I have to slow to a crawl so I don't understeer into a wall... IMO it would be a lot more fun with no TC and sport tyres...

What do we think?

The physics on GT4 don't exactly help either.
