PGR3 help

[carsnut]

Ok heres the problem, I'm going to challenge my friend in his McLaren Mercedes SLR on the Nurburgring Full F1 circuit on Project Gotham Racing 3. I'm kinda better than he is on these type of tracks, so I plan to use either the Ferrari 360CS or Ferrari 575M HGTC to make it a little more fair . Yes I know they are 1 class lower, but I still think they have some potential. What do you guys reckon stands a better chance? If all hell breaks loose its back to the F430

Well I'd take the 575, your gonna need the top end speed quite alot but mind you through those twist uphill turns won' the CS dominate? I'd proberly just go for the 360 CS..

If the game in question was forza motorsport, I would've recommended the 360 CS for the Nuerburgring. Your friend would have to do far heavier braking in the corners with his car, whereas you would flow through them with far more ease. So far, my experiences with PG games are that they're a little more unrealistic, and so I don't know. It probably wouldn't make too much of a difference which one you chose.

Nurberg is a flowing track and as somebody has already said your going to eed to top speed alot more.

What you will lose in the corners you probably won't notice because no of them are really hard corners, like I said, it's a flowing track.

in a way, though this is PGR3 and in my experience its pretty realistic. Are you sure there won't be too much of a difference? As the Nurburg has pretty tight corners, you might most likely be right about the 360CS or the 575M flowing. My friend in his SLR will probably have to brake earlier than me though, since the SLR is faster than a 360CS or 575M, but his handling is probably not so great and he'll most likely be slamming the brakes at the last minute

If he's new at the game, then yes. That's what everyone does lol. I stick to my guns and say go with the 360CS. On a track like the Nuerb, speed isn't always your best friend. After your buddy in his clunky SLR gets through those corners after you, you'll be making good time on the straightaways. Even if he does end up gaining on you like crazy in the straightaways, by the time he's close enough for you to worry he'll have a whole new load of corners to slow him down again. I would say your odds are good if you choose the 360 CS. Unless of course your friend has played the game a lot. Then I'm sorry to say that while he's in an SLR, your chances of beating him are slim with either of those Ferraris.

Luckily in my case he hasn't played many racing games . If he played alot I'd be asking if I should use the F50, F40, or F430 . I guess you have a pretty good point, RobPorsche, but now what I need is a tiebreaker in the next 3 days.
