GT4 Challenge : GT Vs Typhoon

superroo · 03-08-2006, 11:56 AM

What i want to do is quite simple, if enough people are interested.

All it is, is a challenge between the FPV GT and Typhoon on Gran Turismo 4, to see what car can set the fastest lap time around a designated track. You run the time on your game, then report what the time was, and what you ran the car with(Mods/Traction control/ASM)

If enough people are interested in this, i will organise/run the comp.

All it will involve, is you choose a car(Or you can run both).
We can have standard or fully tuned cars. Then see who/what car can post the quickest time around a certain track.

If there is enough interest then it will be organised.

Cheers

PS. if you are in, start voting for tracks. I would prefer not to run on Nurburgring because of the long laps.
The tracks i will vote for is either, motorland or El captian.

I'm in.....

Suggest having 2 classes - Stock and Modified

2 cars plus 2 classes = 4 options

Stock = exactly that with driving aids being the only things you can fiddle with. That way you can run it on arcade mode....

Modified = Anything goes ...bigger, better, faster, more.

Obviously this is going to rely on an honour system as far as mods in Stock class is concerned. Pics of times achieved are optional....

If Nurmburgring is out then I vote for Grand Valley, El Capitain & New York, Deep Forest. These are tracks which are challenging to drive well and good technique gives good lap times.

aww *****.. Nurburgring is the best track ever.. one of my personal favs.. otherwise i reckon seattle city is a great track also

superpursuit83 · 03-08-2006, 02:50 PM

I'm in nothing better to do tonight.

What tracks matey??

FPV8U · 03-08-2006, 02:56 PM

Im in i vote for seatle city as the track.

**Polyal** · 03-08-2006, 03:45 PM

must resist......

I like Midland, El Captian is a good mix too. Anything other than the 'ring though, CBF'ed.

XW 393 · 03-08-2006, 04:16 PM

Yep Seattle City is a mad track, I cant get enough of it !!

needfordspeed · 03-08-2006, 04:20 PM

I'm in for sure, i'd like to do it around nurburgring too but if it's not that then any other track will be fine.

03-08-2006, 04:22 PM

My personal favourites are:

el capitan - good, quick changes of altitude which are good for stuffing over novice drivers

Midfield raceway - held a record of 53 seconds on this track, unbeaten by anyone i know

trial mountain

- the ultimate track. Quick corners, good passing opportunities, the only problem with a time trial is that people will ride the wall at the end of the back straight, and people will go through the grass leading onto the main straight

Any one of those is perfect, as Nurburgring is too long and boring - who wants to stuff up something and be around for another 8-9 mins to set a **** lap time

Anyone ever had a problem with GT4 data not being able to be deleted off the memory card?

SVT8 · 03-08-2006, 04:44 PM

im in 4 sure. Im happy to do any track as long as its not nurburgring. So how will this work exactly, i can get photo of times posted but what about every1 else. What time will we start the time trials, how many laps can we do?

regards

Wolfblass · 03-08-2006, 04:55 PM

XRCIST · 03-08-2006, 06:08 PM

Count me in

out: I vote for tsukuba as a track. Its short but requires top driving as it has a mixture of everything.

ten[A]cio[U]s · 03-08-2006, 06:17 PM

This sounds like hella fun. But i dont have anything to play on ti with..

AK · 03-08-2006, 06:21 PM

Im in i also like Seattle City and Tsukuba

Ruger · 03-08-2006, 07:41 PM

tsukuba gets my vote too short and sweet! although i love apricot hill tsukuba reigns supreme

Doctor Sodways · 03-08-2006, 08:45 PM

Tsukuba or Midfield, two of the best tracks in the game, if i get my PS2 plugged in ill probably have a stab, too addicted to the Xbox at the moment

Ruger · 03-08-2006, 08:46 PM

well i just had a fiddle and hit a effortless 51.x with the f6 on tsukuba no nitrous get those laps churning people 48.x's achievable methinks

SVT8 · 03-08-2006, 09:26 PM

just put on the playstation, ill post some times up. But im afraid i dont have a camera with me at the momement. Ill save the replays and post the pics up on the weekend for proof.

Ruger · 03-08-2006, 10:16 PM

the f6 is a very unforgiving car to drive and you really have to drive it viscously to get most out of it but what lets it down is the brakes esp on tsukuba
49.78 on tsukuba so far pics and replay video will come when im happy with the performance

EB Pete · 03-08-2006, 11:00 PM

i'm down. grand valley would be most favorite and in my opinion has everything a good race track needs. or trial mountain, as a matter a fact any track from the original GT

SVT8 · 03-08-2006, 11:14 PM

I raced two courses, with completly stock cars(no nos) this is what i got so far:

Arcade/ time trial mode, stock cars

F6 Tsukutba Circut 1"03.047
GT Tsukutba Circut 1"02.577

F6 Deep Forest Raceway 1"25.849
GT Deep Forest Raceway 1"25.495

I raced in timetrial mode, no upgrades on the cars. Used auto, with sports soft tyres and didnt fiddle around with the settings. I drove of course in A-spec mode and did a couple of laps with each car.

The F6 feels heaps better during the turns, doesnt get any traction but you do have to keep a presured pace all the time. The GT on the other hand has a little bit of wheel spin and takes corners a little bit more hardier than the typhoon. But the GT beats the F6 in corner exit speed by far which makes the difference. If you can figure how to exit properly with the GT it actuall produces better turns than the F6, eventhough its handling is pretty stiff.

Drive the typhoon first then the GT, and you will know what i mean. Anyway have a crack at stock GT's and F6 and see what you get. And please dont cheat it just makes the whole point of this time trial thing pointless.

cheers

Ruger · 04-08-2006, 11:32 AM

these are my contributions for the modded f6 going full ball nitrous and everything. 48.5x's possible but not much more imo

Tsukuba, F6 Typhoon Full Modded: 48.709

Ringo · 04-08-2006, 12:43 PM

Can't to go for a drive this evening...this thread is shaping up nicely....

Ruger · 04-08-2006, 12:49 PM

we need a sticky with the 4 classes and different laps and top 5 times

superroo · 04-08-2006, 01:00 PM

The way i want to run it is stock and modded classes. Mixing the GT and typhoon together. Sticky sounds like a good idea.

Heres the votes so far
El Captain........4
Seattle...........4
Tsukuba..........4
Midfield...........3
Grand Vally......2
Trial Mountain..2
Apricot Hill ......2
Motor Land......1
New York.........1
Deep Forest......1

Cheers

Ruger · 04-08-2006, 01:18 PM

i say settle on 2 or 3 tracks to give some variety ie if someone dont like el captain they can race seatle etc. also if the tracks selected was variety ie not 2 or 3 ultra long fast tracks.
tsukuba and midfield mix offers low and high speed tracks on race track not street.

superroo · 04-08-2006, 01:42 PM

Have a look at the motorland track. It's a hard track to master. 35s lap times. not very fast speeds(top 180), tight corners.

Inregard to the typhoon vs gt. I found with a fully modded car the gt was easier to drive fast. Calm, predictable. Where as the typhoon was a bit of an animal at the limit.

Cheers
