[Dino Scuderia]

Congrats Jack! Where are you taking us this week?

Good to see the new challengers in there!

[TheOne]

yeh whats the new challange jack, i wanna get back in this
(been out cause been busy)

[6'bore]

Lol. I will enter this comp this week, definitly. But it's a waste of time because Jack has this comp owned.

[magracer]

But it's a waste of time because Jack has this comp owned.

Not totally. It motivates me to develop my driving skills, as well as using my PS2 and Logitech wheel which otherwise would rest unused. My first challenge (#5) I was 6 secs behind, now I'm a little less than 2 secs. If you time adjust that (1'40 vs 1'00 laps) it means I have halved the difference. I´m still in Minardi league compared to the leaders, but it´s all due to my fault, not the cars.

So what will it be?

Ok, how many people here have the F1 car here? I know I suggested it a few weeks ago and got mixed opinions, but would people be up for an F1 based challenge? I wouldn't want to do it if it meant excluding too many people, but it would be fun if you guys fancy it.

Post your opinions, yay or nay.

Hey, how'd your car get 730HP? mine only goes to 600 on Quick Tune.

I do have the F1 car BTW.

[SIMPLETON]

Hey, how'd your car get 730HP? mine only goes to 600 on Quick Tune.

thats a 46% gain in power over stock, ours only go to 20. possibly the secret to his succes?

[Bob]

BHP guys, you probably have yours in HP (i think, i hope im not making a fool of myself)

anyway i have F1 and will be in this weeks challenge

[magracer]

Got the F1 and I´m willing to race it, but I gotta say it´s not that much fun on bumpy tracks, so keep it smooth... Maybe suzuka (complete). It would be a nice step from this weeks challenge.

So, how do we get our Fairladys to develop that much power?

Mag

[Jack_Bauer]

Ok, I'm confused. You guys say that yours only go to 600 in quick tune, that right? Mine has 608 bhp STOCK. Adding the 20% quicktune takes it 730. The weight of mine is 1120kg STOCK and 1008 after the 10% reduction.

I don't actually own the car anymore in GT mode so can't really check what it comes with when you first get it. Can anyone do this for me please.

Can we clarify that we were all using the same car here: Nissan Fairlady Z Concept LM Race Car '02

The only explanation I can think of is that it is perhaps a quirk in the game whereby there are slight differences in stats between the US and UK versions of the game. Any other theories???

ah HAH! the secret is exposed, not pointing fingers or anything, but it could be why he is whooping us every time, i KNEW i wasnt THAT bad!


and i have an f1

[GT F1]

He's using the British version which is BHP and the american version is HP.

[Jack_Bauer]

He's using the British version which is BHP and the american version is HP.

Can anyone confirm that this is true? On the main session screen (the one I took a pic of) does it come up as "HP" or "BHP" for you guys in the states?

[my porsche]

yes it is in BHP, BUT bhp is almost the same, its not 143hp difference
