RazaBlade

Wow! Cant believe I won!! Well chuffed with that, although the fact that Jack didnt enter slightly detracts from it, but great none the less.

Must thank Jack for all those thrilling events he came up with, hopefully I can continue where he left off!!

Sorry about the late reply, uni came in the way. On with the challenge!

RazaBlade
09-28-2005, 03:53 AM
Sorry about that mate! Its easily obtainable, just do the 2nd suzuki make race, i think its called concepts or something. Shouldnt take more than 15 mins to get it.

Dino Scuderia
09-28-2005, 04:15 AM
Got it...did a couple laps....it's fun!

shockwaveracing
09-28-2005, 06:03 AM
will give this a crack in a while... interesting combo...

Dino Scuderia
09-28-2005, 06:17 AM
The only thing about this car is it takes so long for the engine to get on the pipe...the challenge is how to keep the revs up.

shockwaveracing
09-28-2005, 06:56 AM
do it in manual... you can keep the revs much higher that way... evil little weight distribution on it too... i have swapped ends a couple of times already in this thing...

I do drive in manual...and I stuffed it too, going across the hill after the tunnel.

ah k... yeah coming over the first rise makes the back go all light one way and then you have to correct the bloody thing in time for the second rise other wise she spins... i spun a couple of times or hit the wall a couple of times coming out of there...

RazaBlade
09-28-2005, 08:30 AM
actually thats a point, how many of you use manual, I have ever since the start of GT2...wont use Auto unless its a Test Course endurance race or summin!

Dino Scuderia
09-28-2005, 08:34 AM
I had never played PS2 much....I have GT3 but never played it so I was a rookie until GT4 came out and I've played it a lot. Used to use the auto but soon you learn you get a few extra revs from the engine using manual so it's quicker...and more control entering and exiting turns.

Bob
09-28-2005, 07:01 PM
I always use manual, but the only real advantage you get from it with most cars is engine breaking, but on cars with bad brakes this make a huge difference.

shockwaveracing
09-29-2005, 12:48 AM
until this week i only did it auto... so all the challenges before have been done in auto but i started playing around with it in manual to see what extra time i could get out of my lap times...

Dino Scuderia
09-29-2005, 04:56 AM
I still don't have going across the hill perfected...I think I'm losing a few tenths there...the rest of the course I feel good about.

Is anyone using first gear anywhere? I'm not.

shockwaveracing
09-29-2005, 06:09 AM
nah no need for 1st gear... the hairpin at the bottom of the hill after the long sweeping left half way around the track is the only time it may come into use... but 2nd is good enough...

Dino Scuderia
09-29-2005, 06:12 AM

Yeah, I tried first there a couple times, didn't gain anything so I just carry as much momentum as I dare through that complex in second gear.

SIMPLETON
09-29-2005, 01:01 PM
I'm not having any problem with the turns after the tunnel. Jus tseems so natural to slide the car around the downhill.

RazaBlade
10-02-2005, 09:11 AM
So hows it gone for everyone this week? Hope its been alright, I havent been able to put in as many laps as Id hoped, but what can ya do! Look forward to the results!! Best of luck people!

Dino Scuderia

Reminder to PM your times to SIMPLETON before midnite tonite.

SIMPLETON
10-02-2005, 05:28 PM
I dont want to say this but, unfortunately, I may have to stop the Challenge. So far I've only gotten 3 time in (including mine). So if the comp doesnt come up in the next few days, youll know why. It's been fun.

RazaBlade
10-03-2005, 10:24 AM
Oh common! Jack only just left, leaving us with a chance to win!! Please keep it going...whats wrong with 3 entries??

Common people, enter!!!

RazaBlade
10-03-2005, 01:31 PM
At least post the results from this week...us three want to know what happened!!

I really dont want this to end! I only been doing it a few weeks....

SIMPLETON
10-03-2005, 02:47 PM
well I may get around to doing that. But I've been pretty busy lately. so if you want the comp to go on we need avolunteer to run the thing.

magracer
10-03-2005, 04:16 PM
I say the one that wins, runs it that week.

What do you guys think?

RazaBlade
10-04-2005, 03:58 AM
sounds fair enough....

Dino Scuderia
10-04-2005, 04:39 AM
We can try it, sounds workable.

RazaBlade
10-05-2005, 06:16 AM
Looks like theres not gonna be a new one...

Oh well, at least I won the last ever GT4 Challenge! And by quite a margin!!

Dino Scuderia

You won #13? How do you know?:confused:

RazaBlade
10-05-2005, 07:01 AM
No as in No.12....there technically hasnt been a No.13 as the results arent gonna be posted by the looks of it!!

Dino Scuderia
10-05-2005, 07:03 AM
Hmmmm....well, everyone interested needs to check in if we're to continue with challenges.

magracer
10-05-2005, 07:31 AM
I guess Simpleton gave up... we could post our times for this week, look who was fastest and then start the new system (The winner in addition of setting track and car, runs the thing for that week) Mine was 1.49.XXX.

I also propose that posting times is allowed, furthermore, encouraged. In every motorsport series, qualifying times are open to the public in real time, so why shouldn't we have that. Also, if we are posting times, PM will be not necessary.

What do you guys think?

The reason we never posted times in the threads was for suspense reasons only. Let's see if SIMPLETON checks in with a final summation of what he wants to do with the final data he has, then we can start over and maybe reset some of the parameters.

I wanna take part, I just lost interest when the challenges involved cars I didn't have or Nordschleife. As much as I like the track, I find the idea of doing lap after lap after lap on it quite soul destroying. I was going to have a go at this comp, but I was only holiday last week, so I only saw it monday afternoon.

RazaBlade
10-05-2005, 10:05 AM
We've got about 4 or 5 people here who wanna keep it going, and thats how many we usually get.
I know Simpleton is busy, so hence the delay with the results announcement.

SIMPLETON
10-05-2005, 01:28 PM
RazaBlade won, then Dino, shock, and, amgracer

Dino Scuderia
10-05-2005, 01:49 PM
Aha, thanks! My time was 1:48.610.

Bit of a classy car for a classy circuit. Would make good photoshots! Dunno about race though...

Shall we say all entries have to be in by not this Monday but the Monday after, the 17th October, as this ones starting so late.

Wish you all the best of luck, hope we get more entries. I know its hard, just put in a few laps if needs be, I can only put in about 10! Any probs, let me know. Good luck!

Dino Scuderia
10-06-2005, 12:03 PM
Sounds fun. I would suggest making a new thread with Challenge #14 in the title and with everything you posted there plus the rules.

RazaBlade
