The GT4 Nurburgring Challenge

i think thats were the pedal and wheel combo might be better, way more throttle control compared to a controller. Anyway nuff talking bout it, I think its time for another go

 

Under 6mins possible???

 

only just noticed this. i'm supposed to be good at this game! i'll give it a go and post results. i normally try out the ring in arcade mode in standard form with N1 (economy) tyres. but i'm presuming anything goes with these times - GAME ON!!!

 

yeah whatever mods you want, qualifying tyres, free run mode on the 'ring so the tyres dont wear out

 

its cheating if the tyres dont wear out

 

i managed 7:30s with standard setup, got that down to 7:23 on pauls setup but no wing (look awful!!). i think i'll give it another go, but 7:11 seeming a mission - you the man, for now!!!

 

lol 7.11 was a good time for me, I cant beat it myself now, 7.23 still a v good time!

 

gonna have to get used to manual mode cars well quicker. aint giving up. gt5 will probably be out by the time i get near this time!!!

 

I use the steering wheel and personaly i think it helps ALOT! better throttle control and brake control!

 

I had a go at the weekend, I tried it in a Volvo 240 Estate. Managed to get round in 8.44. I had a huge crash in the middle of the lap. I cant remember what the corner was, but i came round a left hander then its a sharp right, i was a bit hot into the left hander which threw the car across the track. The volvo surprisingly handled really well with everything modified, but whenever it braked the front dropped, which was funny when watching the replay, when sparks fly.

I did try it in my mk1 but its not set up for nurburg, but set up excellent for everywhere else. It was handling really poorly round there.

Anyone want to suggest a weird car to go round in?

 

The pads are much easier to use. You can actually control the throttle and brake with that depending on how hard you press the buttons

 

try this out!
any car.
arcade mode.
1 lap only (try keep it neat, ie off track acceptable, but no contact with walls).
must start off line from standstill.
n1 tryes (economy), no car mods whatsoever, no driving aids.
auto or man - up to you.

some of mine (nb: can probably improve on these but i'm throwing down the gaunlet)
bora vr6 4mot. - 9'41.590 mk5 gti - 9'15.745 beetle rsi - 9'25.622 ibiza 9'22.165
focus st - 9'24.704 focus rs - 9'07.915 golf r32 - 9'04.639 suzuki gsx-r/4 - 8'32.592

just a few to start off with! remember - must be standing start!!!!

 

err same as pedals then! except most people will be more used to controling acceleration and braking with there feet so probebly easyer!

 

This still going?

I've moved house since the start of this thread and I don't know where GT4 is also I no longer have the perfect table for the wheel to clamp to.

Gonna have a go at bettering the times above this weekend.

 

hey phil you still playing this, I moved house aswell and had lack of perfect table issues but iv got a great set up now and started playing again, I realy do love this game!

 

Noooooo, I can't get addicted to trying to beat all the times again!

 

The beer is flowing and we have revived the GT challenge in our house. The big dining room table is not straddling the little low table the TV was sitting on and the wheel is well clamped in place.

F1 car on the 'ring, time of 5m 30s.

Didn't take a pic though

 

I unfortaualy lost my saved game on this so I only have limited cars[:^(]. Im working hard to complete the game again but its like the 5th time now lol. Iv got work now aswell wich sucks as I realy wana play now!
