Guaging interest in GT4 Competition... - Page 5

I'm using a normal dual shock controller, and trust me you don't suck! Just practise a lil! I'm not saying i'm a pro or anything but I got some tips for beginners:

First tip: Go flat out around the whole track unless that red brake thing comes up and starts flashing, if that thing doesn't come up then just go flat out because you can take most of the track at some decent speeds.

Second tip: NEVER BRAKE WHILE ANY BIT OF YOUR CAR IS ON GRASS! If half your car is on grass and you brake then it'll be all over it's real hard to control it again.

That's all I can think of now.

Yep dual shock controller here as well.

Thats my problem, i break even when the marker says not to as i have found it goes out onto the grass if not and i like to try and stay on the track at least

*goes back to his CLK-GTR race car

That's what used to happen to me until today, I figured out that you need to stay on in the inside and always go over the rumble strips or whatever there called. Then you won't take it too wide and keep your speed high.

BTW I had another idea, who thinks it's a good idea to keep these GT4 comps on-going? No need for a prize or anything just for fun? Different track/car combo's each month or fortnight or something like that??

fordel · 15-03-2005, 08:18 PM

Yeah i like that idea of an ongoing comp.

I am more then happy to come up with them/organise times etc into spreadsheets and the what not as i suck at driving lol

This one ends at the end of next month, so should we take it from there with a new one ?

Chris

FPV 41T · 15-03-2005, 09:09 PM

yeah i think that is a really good idea but i might go and get a steering wheel setup cause i have been told they are alot easier than the dual shock controller

SVR73 · 15-03-2005, 09:18 PM

Once I get the savings for a ps2 and gt4, I'll join in
For a few years I competed in many competitions on GT3times when I had a ps2. Mine blew up one day.

Managed to hold almost a dozen world records on that site and finished third in a AU Falcon v8 supercar challenge comp
Haven't been at the site for at least a year, wonder if my records still stand

Back to square one though with this new one, bet it's even harder than the other one

devilracer_01 · 15-03-2005, 10:20 PM

Im in.

SWOOP · 15-03-2005, 10:28 PM

2 day old dual shock , got the ps2 +gt4 last thursday after a 2year break

try taking the driving aids off youll gain heaps!! Typhoon with stability managment my ....
,just watch that lil blue thing go off its nutz while its enabled especially on the bumpy tracks ,it just spoils the fun

I cant stand steering wheels, im even worse then i am normally with them

Yep i think ill stick to running the comp, i suck at this game :(

Chris

Aww dude, don't worry 'bout it. I haven't even POSTED a time yet. I'll let you know if those 'phoons are stock running low 8's once I've done a run or two. ;)

MR_SIDO · 16-03-2005, 09:04 AM

i havent even tried yet either. Last night i did the Costa di Amalfi or whatever it is called rally, in a RX7 that i won, I won it and won the Celica Rally Car, so i have been up half the night rallying.

fordel · 16-03-2005, 11:32 PM

ok here is my pic

im happy with the time, better then i expected i would get or could do.

Have done all the pro races bar the world series now, wished i had found the Gillet car sooner could have done the compant car cup in that thing

First run on the ring and first run in an F6 8:39: 472 should be a lot better than that sitting in a capsul and using a logitech wheel. :(

Look what happens when you don't play this game for a few days. I've gone from 3rd to 10th. I'm know what I'll be doing tonight.

EFFalcon · 17-03-2005, 09:17 AM

i know i should tackle this...
but i'm having too much fun getting through the proper game
the enduros are killers :o

Psycho Chicken · 17-03-2005, 09:48 AM

I did a 8:24.740.

Which is crap considering I took my worked M3 out and did a 7:49 first try.

Psycho Chicken · 17-03-2005, 09:50 AM

Oh and how about a quarter mile comp next time? I've got my STi running 08.035 on the bottle, fiddling with traction control and centre diff settings to try squeeze that extra .036 of a second out of it.

MR_SIDO · 17-03-2005, 01:35 PM

Good idea Psycho Chicken, When this one is finished we will start another.

FPV 41T · 17-03-2005, 04:05 PM

after much frustration of 8 pretty horrible laps i have managed to beat me pb and also the record so far i think a high 7 would be possible but very hard to get. i will post the pic in a minute just setting up the camera.
