Well why don't we all just post our own times, save SIMPLETON the hassle?

Mine was 1'03.820


Jack won? What a shock!

Well it seems you guys are getting closer, can only be a matter of time before I get beat. :)

I'll put my thinking cap on now and see if I can come up with a challenge for this week. Any suggestions? Do you want a road car or race car? Modern or vintage? :confused:

Yeah, it's at the very end of the list of Japanese Manufacturers under Polyphony Digital.

But obviously you have to have won it first, has everyone here actually got the car?

That's what I meant...I bet everyone hasn't done the 24 hour race to win it....I have.

I do hope you all post your times for the previous comp because I deleted the PMs before the thing crapped up. And I wont be able to tell you the updated points until then.. And I dont have the F1. I did, but not since my old saved game corrupted.

Note to self.....never loan SIMPLETON anything computer related.

j/k!

Hey it's no biggie, we can all throw our times out here. You do a good job of running the challenges.

Well I dropped another spot.

So did you set that time with the wheel or controller?

Okay guys, post your times so we can move on to #5.

Also say if you have the F1 car or not.

I didn't do last week I was on a cruise... I have F1 but I don't really want it for comp, its too fast for fun, but its up to Jack.

Jack_Bauer
08-01-2005, 06:59 PM
Ok, I'm bored of waiting around! :D

Seeing as not everyone has the F1 car I don't think it would be fair to use it, sorry Rockefella! It occured to me that so far we are yet to use a rally car in these little challenges, so here we go.....

This week's challenge:

Arcade mode, Time Trial

Track: Costa di Amalfi 'Normal'

Car: Lancia Delta S4 Rally Car '85 (available to win in Rally d'Umbria, Hard mode) It's my personal favourite Group B monster! :cool:

Tyres: Racing Super Soft

Quick tune: as much as you think you can handle! :p

STRICTLY NO DRIVER AIDS!!! Keep it real people!

Also, don't be a d!ck and deliberately bash off the walls to help you round the course, treat it as though it were a License test; a slight scuff against the wall is permissable but anything major and you cannot enter the lap.

Have fun boys and girls! :)

Dino Scuderia

Normal direction?

Jack_Bauer

Normal direction?

Yes, Normal direction. Sorry 'bout that, I'll go edit the original post. :)

Okay, I won the S4 with my RUF Boxster..it was fun...in the reverse round I had to repass the AI car twice.

Now that I've driven the S4 with no driver aids I can truly say that Jack's an evil dude.

You all going down now. :D
I've been driving that course for days constantly using the cash to get my 8 XJ220s' (seriously), not counting the other cars I've been buying....So many hours on that couse.

You all going down. :cool:

Strange habit. I like to collect the same car in different colors for Photomode.

I've won several of the Toyota's too, but this S4 wants to rotate if it just sees a curve...yikes!

Please everyone PM your times to the previous comp so I can tally the points up. I had 7 people entering that last comp.

I'm not liking this Challenge at all... every time I touch the wall I feel I've cheated...some ways you hit the wall it helps you, others it penalizes you.... and you don't do any of it on purpose.

I'll turn in a time but I'm pretty much done with this one.

Hi there guys.

Iīm up for the GT4 challenge... what a nice car Jack choose, it will bite you if you arenīt fully concentrated. Its lap time really surprised me at the īring. The track is less of a star though, I donīt really enjoy the fully walled limits, but hey, it might my turn to choose a track/car in the future.

Can any one take me up to speed on where should I post/send my lap time to be able to compete? Iīm confused on whether I should post them in the Gt4 chgll 4 thread or if I should PM them to Simpleton.

Thanks!

Mag

i am afraid Jack caught me seriously napping this week (coz i hadn't done any rallies on gt4 yet)... i haven't had time to hone my rally skills this week to actually earn the car, so i haven't got a time, so of course i won't be in this competition... i will be awake for any future challenges hopefully though... :)
