The GT4 Nurburgring Challenge

Got the idea from sxoc where they have different GT4 challenges from time to time and my bro-in-law and I have been trying to beat each others times on the 'ring in a mk1. It's not as expensive to hit the armco in the game and brake fade is alot easier to deal with

anyway, here's my effort...



Can you beat it?

 

cool idea how do you get the mk1?

do you have to win it somewhere?

i got 100% on gt3 but havent played gt4 much, am only on 32% or so

 

vw manufacturer's race. Can't remember which one...

I'm on 100% for the 3rd time Hardest part is getting all the licences gold.

 

i'm sure we used to have a similar challenge back on one of the old forums, i gave up as Tubs was alwasy winning by miles, i'm sure he was using the patented tubs stopwatch

but a great idea none the less!

so what are the rules?

or will you set a weekly challenge?

 

Wouldn't be like Tubs to have a quicker playstation car or anything...

More weekly challenges to follow eg. 4wd car pre '95 lap of ring etc etc...

For this time I used a Turbo'd mk1 217bhp, qualifying tyres, and downforce. Thats the rules.

 

How the hell did you get all gold licences, anyway I'm up for this.

 

I am a GT4 6th dan sensi-master

 

Yup. We did this a while back. Different car and track every couple of weeks. Spent ages on the same track going round and round trying to beat the times!

 

So basically I can have any mods I want?

 

yes.

any mods, tyres, gear ratio and level of downforce you want.

I reckon a 7.15 is possible in the mk1.

 

Right Phil how long will this challenge last.

 

Sounds good i was a huge fan of GT3 but have never played GT4. I will have to get a copy, think its only 15 now!

 

Well I'm out, can't get anywhere near that time.

 

you using a steering wheel phil?

i've never used one but i'm sure you can get much better times with one over a control pad...............

 

Thats why i didnt try. I knew it would be a waste of time!

We need a Toca RD2 online race again digger!

 

im so happy this has come up, im big on gt4 got the wheel and love it! be well up for this one thou wont be around my playstation till nxt friday I would love to know how you got 100% iv got 98.8% cant do all the licences in gold yet...

 

I guess we could keep it going for a fortnight or so so those that want to try have plenty of time. TBH all I do these days in GT4 is drive a mk1 round the ring. I've spent soo many days of my life playing the fecking game it gets boring very quickly, hence the wee challenge.

@wez - You can use the steering wheel if you wish. I set that time with the control pad and using the childs view but if I was playing it for pure enjoyment or drifting I'd use the official GT wheel and the in-car view. I'm not as quick with the wheel but it's a hell of alot more fun.

Im away to pour another coffee and try for that 7.15

 

7:20.019 Video is a bit sketchy.

also missed plenty of apex' so room for improvement.

Makes this challenge a bit unfair doesn't it?

 

I'm up for this, will have a go tonight

Do you take a picture of the screen with a mobile then email to PC?
