Car
Anyway onto the car and what we are allowed to do to it, the car that we are using is a Lancer Evolution V GSR, and the mods that we are allowed to do to it are;

semi racing exhaust system
clutch / twin
transmition / semi - racing
LSD / 1.5 way
turbo kit stage 1
Sports tyres
AVC controller
and the Variable center dfferential controller.

these are the only mods that you are allowed to buy for your car so that they are set up the same to start with, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED HYBRIDS, but you are allowed to change anything that you want in the settings ( things such as gear ratios and ride height)

Track

The track that we are using will be Apricot Hill Raceway II, what you will be able to do is do as many laps as you want to set up your car, but you are only allowed to post once on the thread showing your time. If any of you guys out there have got a digital camera then i would be greatful if you could take a pic of your time so that we are all sure there are no cheats. :)

good luck to all you guys who are entering

This should be interesting, i think i won an EVO V GSR not that long ago. Just to avoid some confusion, i gather that by racing tyres, you dont mean slicks?

i'd love to participate

i suppose that since this is the first week i will allow you to enter but i will not allow this any other week :) i will add you two into the first thread with all the particepants in.


Hmmm stock supension This ought to be interesting!

i did this because i thaught that it would make it slightly different and more challenging. also i am just finding out how 'well off' people are and what they can afford.


i have time to go buy an evo. does the winner choose the next track ?

what i think we will do is the winner can choose the next track but i will choose the car so that i am still sort of in controll of the thread :)


This should be interesting, i think i won an EVO V GSR not that long ago. Just to avoid some confusion, i gather that by racing tyres, you dont mean slicks?

when i say racing tyres i do not mean slicks i mean the second set of tyres along called 'racing tyres'

I'm comtemplating whether i shoudl post the time i got today, or wait until thursday or some time to post it. I was impressed with the final time i got today, and no doubt im bound to shed some time from it if i practise during the week, but then no doubt after Painterr's time around Laguna Seca, i dont think i'll win this round

i would like it better if you just do it in one final post at the end of the week because this makes it easire for me when i am going through getting everyones final score, if you want on that thread (at the end of the week)you can post your times for each day that you got and i will use your fastedt one :)

yes but you are using exactly the same car, the only differance that could be is how he sets his cars up (maybee he might be able to give us all some tips one day to help us) other than that it is just the drivers skill. I concidered making it so that you cant make any changes so that it would be even more equil but i decides against it. :)

Oh ye one more thing in transmition / semi - racing gear ratios cannot be adjusted, my gear ratios are a little low at the top off the hill but it goes, and the ride height cannot be adjusted without racing suspension, just thought I should tell you's... :)

well there is worry for those of you with 3 million, thats not alot of money... 34.5 million is!

is it alright if it use simualtion tyres??
(and i think you should next comp make the TCS and ASM 0 only, that would make it more realistic i think. you guys are fast, im not very pleased with the times ive been getting, i just cant seem to get the s's right.. i think theres another 4 or 5 seconds in it to get yet...

its up to you about the tyres i put the sport onesin as the max option that you were allowed if you want to use other tyres that are lower down the scale then feel free.

if i chose the most expenive car that i could find then i dont know if all of out competitirs would be able to afford it which is why i am letting people post how much money they have

i know that challenger has got quite a good time at the moment, so keep trying :)

anyway how are all you guys doing not having any probs with the car are you.

05-16-2004, 07:00 AM
As far as money I have 997,870,365 so I dont think that will be a problem! :D

As far as racing I have always raced as if it is a real car no hitting walls, at least two wheels on the tramac at all times (rumble strips included) no grass mowing. by cutting the chaching you will save a half second at the most off your time! So if that is to be allowed every one needs to know that I fell.

I will probably set this one out to let everyone get settled in to racing! I will be posting my setup for the car once I go back and put on the supension and rerun it. My first 109 miles I ran under 1:30

On GT3 i have around 7,000,000 credits. Thats also from completing Gran Tursimo: Concept 2002 Tokyo-Geneva ( you get to save bonus credits to your memory card to use on GT3) I've spent loads though, cant count how many cars are in ma garage :p The fully tweaked Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peaks is awesome!! Something around 1700 bhp!!! Thats the fastest car i have; on the maximum speed test i hit 451.8 km/h (281 mph!!!!!)
Oh the joy of being a millionaire :) :)

When I go to the Run and Setting option in my Garage, I can only access Apricot Hill Raceway I. I'm 90% done with the game and have opened up every track/vehicle there is. Where are you guys being able to race on Apricot Hill Raceway II with no other cars on the track, just you and the clock?

Also, completely unadjoined to this discussion, in the US version of GT3 is there a vehicle released after completing the game, 100%? The only races I have left to do are Enduros and am only going to do them if I get a special car at the end.

Thanks in advance.

well i know that there are a few people who have found the race in the amature league on Gran turismo mode and are racing on that and taking down there best time. have you got all the tracks beck in arcade mode?? if so you will find it on there, you can go onto free run and you get as many laps as you want and you can change the settings on there.

hope that helps

well when you have things like gameshark like painterr then you are able to download extra things that the game isnt meant to have, this enables you do do things such as make the pt cruiser do 1700kmh :eek: it basically makes the car 1million times better than you could ever make it. :( and not everyone has got them which is why there is the rule.



take a look on this site for more info

I went and took some pics of it! The first one will show that it is a FR and it has just over 1000hp and then look atthe tires. they are off of the FI. Side shot will show that I have a rake to it, where the back is higher then the front. What you dont see is what I did to the frame and the body. It hit easy 350mph on the test track and handles like a dream. It is faster then the FI's.

I have no idea how this time will stack up to you all, but, maybe, hopefully, I can get some points to my name and do better next week when I have more time to mess around with my vehicole.
Either way, best of luck to you all, and once again, awesome idea. This is great.

Take care ya'll and good luck.
Are we going to set an official number of weeks/competitions to declare an official UCP GT3 champion/winner?.........that is, before we do this all over again with the release of GT4.
By the way, does anybody have official release dates for GT4 yet?

Yeah, 600,000 whatever sounds ok, the only thing I would like to suggest is that any further cars in any comps be a car that can be purchased, but I'm sure you already thought of that ;) Anyways, count me in for the next one too. trying to get going on this week. All I'll say for now is that I'm comfortably in the low 1'31.000's and I will get faster :)

If my memory holds true all you have to do is go into the section where you change your parts and go to supension and click on that one you have installed and it will turn everything back to its normal settings. that goes for your trany also! If that doesnt work let me know then I will go back and check it out myself but I am pretty sure it will.

05-17-2004, 09:48 PM
Well I got a little time so here it is: I have my settings and am posting them. I hope they help. But if you have the pal version they might not work for you. We found that some car settings dont transfere to the other version that well.

I listed them as you see them on your TV screen:


SR. 4.9/3.8

RH. 99/150

SB. 8/10

SR. 8/10

CA. 1.0/2.0

TA. 0/0

STAB. 3/5

NOBRAKE ADJ

LSI 5/0

LSA. 50/0

hmm.. can u adjust the Spring Rate, Damper Bound, Damper Rebound and toe Angle???

Because i cant.. the reason been is because i dont have full racing suspension only racing...?? Which suspension are we using semi- racing or fully customised..? :confused: :confused:

i also heard if u do it in two player and draft u can get even faster
sounds fun.
i have a felling painter well own us all....

i got a 1.20 mintue lap in a 2 player

dont ask me how but im not using that time because i think it was SLOW CAR BOOST.

that time on free run is impossibe. at the moment im 5 secs off that.

so i think that we shud use the free fun mide to get our times.

I don't mean to whine (and I KNOW thats what it looks like because I'm the only one that's posted my official time so far) but can we not post our settings/adjustments to our vehicles in future competitions? This is NOT meant as a personal attack painterr (AT ALL!) and your settings indicate exactly how good you truly, truly are, but I think tinkering "under the hood" so to speak with our vehicles is really half the battle. Sure driving skills, picking a good line, etc. etc. is what will really win you the race, but proper settings get you in contention.
If others say that posting settings/adjustments should be allowed, then by all means, go for it! I'll prosper from it too. But I just thought I would throw this out for discussion....
What do you all think?

I have got no problem with you posting your settings painterr didnt have to ask so why should the rest of you, i just thaught that you might not want to incase youhad the perfect setting and you didnt want anyone else to come close to you :p :p

I did think about that but what seems to happen is that you are ablt to chage all the settings that you want but then you cant go as fast as you want to ;) I have allready chosen next weeks car so i might concider it for the comp in 2 weeks time :D

Here are my settings I changed:

SR 9.9/7.8

SB. 10/10

SR. 10/10

TA. 0/-2

LSD. 50/0 Ididnt add the 1.5 LSD I kept it stock

Here is a quick run down of my racing line: As I crossed the starting line I tried to keep to the far left of the track with out going off the track. my speed topped out at 129mph. When I came up to the left rumble strip I turned the car into the right turn and let up on the gas after I turned it I coasted into the corner but just before I got to the apex I tapped my brake to make the front of the car to turn more into the corner once it did I was in the apex and I floored it. coming out of the corner I was usually doing anywhere from 104 to 108mph. i hugged the left side of the track until I came upto the left rumble strip and then I again turned the car into the chacine all the time I had it floored. just before I intered the first curve I hit my brake and down shifted into 5th gear. I would take the chacine about 80 to 85mph. I would hit the outsides of the rumble strips. Coming out of the last right I would be hitting anywhere from 88 to just over 90mph. the next left is a real lazy turn as I was taking it I would be shifting into sixth at 100 to 101mph. Now the then next lazy right turn I hit the rumble strip to set me up for the hard 90% turn to the left. As I came off the rumble stip I was slowing up to make the turn (I was down shifting) I wouldnt down shift into second until I was almost into the apex, once I was in the apex I floored it in second and shifted real quick because I was at the end of second gear. My speed in the corner was around 50 to 55mph. once I made the corner I worked my way back to the left side of the track. I would shift into 6th just before I came up to the big sign on the left as I passed the last big sign on the left I started to make my entrance into the long sweeping right. All the time I was still in 6th. then i let up on the gas, just before coming to the inside rumble stip I down shifted to 5th. I tried to stay off the rumble strip here because it will slow you up big time. As I was making the sweep into the corner I had to feather my gas alittle (so I wouldnt swing out to far in to the corner and loose valuable time) I tried to keep my speed at 100 to 104mph in the corner. As I came up to the series of small corners I aimed for the rumble stip on the right and hit it head on. That set me up for the next left. Once I came off the strip I was cutting across to the next left. As I came off I down shifted to 5th. I aimed for the rumble strip on the left and would hit it. That set me up for next right. Once I hit it I came off it to aim for the rumble strip on the right. Also I would let up on the gas just enough to turn the nose of the car to the inside of the turn and rumble stip. As I would hit it I would already shifted into 6th. Now as the next left was coming up I would down shift into 5th. I tried to to keep as close to the rumble stip on the inside of that corner as possible because you dont need to go to deep on the out side when coming out of the corner, if you do go to deep you will have a hard time making that next right turn.(which is the second to the last before the home stretch.) I try and not go any deeper then half way. That will give you time to get back over the the left side of the track for that next right. You come to some writting on the road that is when I down shift to 4th and start to make the turn. I take the turn some where between 76 to 80mph. the rest is history!!!

That is as close to my line I can get from memory!

Since I'm gonna be working the rest of this week and there is a hockey game on tonight, I might as well post my time. I got 1'29.492. You can see in the pic that my fastest session is at the top in 7th spot, the ones below are other sessions in which I changed something or just wanted to stop playing for a bit. I guess we'll wait and see how this holds up. Also, count me in for the next competition
