The one with the fastest time will be the winner.
If you have a time that you think will win, take a picture as proof. If you win you will have to present this photo as proof.
If the time submitted by someone is unreallistically fast it will be excluded.
If I find out that any time is false, goes against any rules, or is done through any use of unfair play or cheatery, the user will be banned from the competition for one week and will be stripped of all their points.

There will be a secret time that, under the rules, should be easy to obtain. This will be called the target time. If you meet the target time you will recieve an additional 1 point.

As there was no secret time set by shockwaveracing, no additional point was given.


Congratulations shockwaveracing, whats next?

As there was no secret time set by shockwaveracing, no additional point was given.

whoops i didn't realise that...



Congratulations shockwaveracing, whats next?

not sure yet, seeing as this weeks was a bit hard (in terms of getting the car)

FPV F6 Typhoon @ Suzuka Circuit West (Forward)


i am in a bit of a pickle here, i didn't take a picture at the end of the lap but i did take one at the end of watching it in the replay theatre, i am going to need help from PoRsChEnUt or anybody else with a MaxDrive, to verify this lap...

picture is below, and the replay is here ---> http://www.savefile.com/files.php?fid=9104137

has also been sent to PoRsChEnUt in the hope that he can verify it for me...



EDIT: I leave it up to RazaBlade to set out a finish time for this competition so that there is no more confusion on my behalf.

[RazaBlade]

Oh, Im not saying there has to be a target time, just the fact that if theres not one set, its ok.
Oh, and for arguments sake, what does F1 use to decide the cut-off point for quali times? What % above the winning time?


Oh, and what car is that?? How do you get it etc... thanks dude

[shockwaveracing]

ah k cool, and regarding that MaxDrive replay, i hope it can be used for verification coz i was a little silly in not taking a photo at the end of the lap. i assure you it is perfectly clean though...

for what it is worth, my splits from my quickest lap

T1: 28.402 (saw a few 28.1xx through here)
T2: 1'03.131 (this was my fastest through here)

[RazaBlade]

Well, I cant obviously decide myself! We'll leave it open to the board :p

Naa, sure its fine, although Porschenut will need to check it for us please? Would you PM him or summin about it, otherwise he prob wont know!!

[shockwaveracing]

yeah i PM'ed him and he said that he would verify it in this thread, as soon as he could... through further communication P'Nut has said that he will do it tomorrow...

It used to be 107% in the late nineties, but I'm not so sure anymore. ;) I just haven't had the time to be doing these GT4 challenges and I've given my PS2 to a friend for a while, so I won't be able to do anymore either, which is a bit of a shame.

[magracer]

I couldn't be bothered getting last weeks car, but I'm back this week.

I'm in the low 1'25s and that includes a 193km/h drift around the 130R, which obviously is not the quickest way around, but a lot of fun nevertheless!

Raza, just to clear things up: the competition starts as soon as it is issued, although the issuer has until wednesday to do so. right? This was put in place so that the issuer has enough time to try cars and tracks to post interesting challenges.

Edit: I'm mid 1'24s but my exit speed at 130R is 10km/h slower than with the drift !?!?!

[RazaBlade]

exactamundo dude....

and Im guessing theres no driving aids? will give it a shot tomorrow.....

oh, and shockwaveracing, when is the end of the challenge?

[shockwaveracing]

well we will give this one a week so we will finish Midnight, 15th January


also i am running in the low 1'24s at the moment, i reckon a 1'22 is achievable...

[Lord & Master]

CRAP i could have come 2nd

Razablade is running the comp now so he is the one in charge of the rules.

Anyway, the first rule has been overruled. Read the thread. It's back to midnight at the point of residence of the particpant. The second rule is not possible due to the fact that there is no attachment system for PMs. The third rule was not taken into consideration in challenge 2.4. That was the reason I didn't participate.

use photobucket & put the picture in with an [IMG] code

[RazaBlade]

^^ Random!!

As regards to picking an easily obtainable car, remember the Zonda LM, or the F1 car? If you have an idea of using a car beforehand, just ask everyone in the board! Theyll tell you if it sounds like a good idea or not.....

[Lord & Master]

If you have an idea of using a car beforehand

?????

[shockwaveracing]

?????it really needed to be worded a bit better, what he meant to say was that if you would like to suggest a car for a future challenge, make a suggestion about it in one of the threads, and ask the fellow racers if they think it would be a suitable choice, or not...


^^ Random!!

it wasn't random, he allocated 1 point to all the racers that didn't compete in challenge 2.4...

[RazaBlade]

Yeh, which makes it random!

[shockwaveracing]

i thought you got 1 point even if you didn't race, or am i mistaken???

[RazaBlade]

Past the top 5 scores of 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, everyone who submits a time gets a point.
But sadly, theres no points for people who dont even enter!

[shockwaveracing]

well that clarifies that then...

[Lord & Master]

i thought you got 1 point even if you didn't race, or am i mistaken???

Everybody else recieves 1 point.

[RazaBlade]

For doing what?



1'24s so far...

[shockwaveracing]

mid 1'23s now...

[Dino Scuderia]

mid 1'23s now...

Me too!:)

[magracer]

High 1'23s for me and running out of ideas...

[Lord & Master]

For doing what?

Scoring goes like this:
1st place recieves 10 points.
2nd place get 8.
3rd gets 6.
4th gets 4
5nd gets 2.
Everybody else recieves 1 point.

[RazaBlade]

Well, I thought it was pretty obvious it only meant people with entries, but Ive changed it for clarity.

[shockwaveracing]

hey what target time should i set RazaBlade?

[RazaBlade]

Thats completely up to you. Do a lap where you dont attack it completely, 'cruise' a bit! Or if you want just set it at a percentage of your time, ie 107%.

[RazaBlade]

I havent been playing as hard as I want, before when I didnt have enough time to have a go, I still had the motivation. Havent got that lately...

[shockwaveracing]

Thats completely up to you. Do a lap where you dont attack it completely, 'cruise' a bit! Or if you want just set it at a percentage of your time, ie 107%.
