The GT4 Challenge: Round 9

[Bob]

Ok i just researched this a bit http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-powerunits.htm and bhp=hp i was wrong, however, in the game, it does not convert right, so jack got a diff number. Anyway, its clearly the same, look how close times are and have been before. I do know that in the game bhp is smaller than hp, so GT F1 is right.

Maybe it has something to do with you selling the car. Did Jack ever tune the car while he owned it. Maybe someone should tune this car to the max in GT mode and then sell it. Lets see what happens.

I have no idea whether I tuned it when I owned it or not it was ages ago, sorry!

[Jack_Bauer]

The Elise tunes to 227HP in my game, so there's a difference in the other direction.

Edit: Standard HP is 189 for it so same as Jack's.

Yep, that's all hunky dory.

Would you (or anyone else for that matter) mind just quickly double-checking the other ones I attached a few minutes ago.

The figures were:

Mini Cooper S: 160bhp stock, 191 tuned

BMW M3 GTR Race Car '03: 443bhp stock, 533 tuned

AC Cars 427: 478 stock, 574 tuned

Thanks in advance.

Mine are all the same as you quoted on these cars. Something strange about the Fairlady then eh?

Yeah I guess so. Very weird!

Anyways, best get on with this week's fun and games I guess....

Challenge #9:

Arcade mode, time trial as per usual.

Car: Polyphony Digital Formula Gran Turismo '04

Tyres: Racing Super Soft

Track: Suzuka Full GP Circuit

Quicktune: None at all, car as stock

Driver Aids: TCS only

Also this week, in a break from tradition, I'm gonna give you the 'target time' in advance. The time to beat is 1'32.730, which is the official Suzuka race lap record set by Rubens Barrichello in 2004. To be honest I have no idea if that time is even possible as I haven't tried yet, but it'll be an interesting insight into how accurate the car is compared to a real life F1 car.

Enjoy!

So hard tires then?

Oops! Sorry, I meant to say Racing Super Soft tires. With hard tyres I doubt there'd be a hope in hell of reaching the target time. I shall amend the previous post.

Thanks for the 'heads-up'

[my porsche]

yeah this is weird

my friend tuned his m3 csl and its like 100hp more than mine!


anyway jack, i didnt accuse you, i was just stating its the obvious conclusion after you see the hp


just a mess up in the game i guess?

[shockwaveracing]

NTSC to PAL conversion anyone... maybe they changed the readings from hp to kw

also which race would you get the Polyphony Digital Formula Gran Turismo from?

You get it by winning the 24 hours at the 'ring.

You are welcome!

well i am stuffed then, coz i haven't got time to get the f1 before sunday... will just have to wait til the next comp...

[magracer]

If you own a sports prototype just leave it overnight on B-Spec, then go to work (or school) and by the time you come back you´ll have the F1. I recommend the Nissan 92C.

You can do it at x2 speed, but it comes back to x1 speed after the first pitstop. You'd have to reset it to x2 after each pit stop (every hour or so) to do it in 12 hours.
