Howdy Boys and Gals. :wave:

This thread has been set up for one very important reason. To see who is truly the fastest ps.com GT4 racer. Most of us are guilty of making claims of "greatness" and many do back it up with evidence. At the same time though, these feats will always fade from memory, as the topic does. Hopefully this can be the thread that everyone and anyone can look to at anytime to guage the "GT forum's speed". So anyway........

Darn, that's me out then

Alien race? Whats that?

Great! I'm gonna post my time after weekends.
PS: (Off-topic but...) Is 5'35.624 at time trial (Arcade) with minolta +20% power -10% weight any good? Inability to make a softer suspension makes it jumping all over the place

Another PS: @Red: Red, as you went away from GT (for a while I hope) why dont you join our newly formed Ps.com LFS driving team. I just want to see how you break all of the records there too

Its a pretty normal time TBH. Snake's got a 4'55ish and Ive done a 4'59.429 using those exact settings. Vudas got a video of himself doing a 5minute lap with his wheel. Check out his site and you'll see.

Back to topic. Ive still got memory cards and I know I've got tons of my licence replays on there. I may just have an S16 on there to show. Just gotta buzz over to friends place for a use of his PS2 at some stage. Can't be bothered now though- got things to do

Another PS: @Red: Red, as you went away from GT (for a while I hope) why dont you join our newly formed Ps.com LFS driving team. I just want to see how you break all of the records there tooWhat the damn-doodaddy is a ps.com LFS? Regardless, the answer is no-I dont have GT4 anymore so cant help ya buddy.

Red, LFS is a PC racing sim, there's close races online which I like a lot, riminds me of BTCC.

Check out the Pit Stop and you'll see posts about it, come and join us if you want.

The only problem with it being at the 'Ring is that the laps are so long it will discourage people from setting decent laps. I don't really have the time to get any good laps in! The one i just tried was going really well until i slid off onto the grass ever so slightly and had to restart. Very frustrating, and will put a lot of people of i'd imagine. EDIT: Infact, i'm not as up for it as i said i was anymore. I don't have enough free time. Is there no way we can determine fast laps on another license test for those of us who have lives? I'm not going to be able to set a good lap time for fear of running off the track. 7'16.194 was my quickest so far for fear of running off

moglet, this is why it's a good chance to see who's the best.. if you're really a good driver, you're driving lines would be perfect, and you wouldn't be fear of driving off.. i personally have fear of it, but i'm not the fastest guy in the world, and i didn't really had a driving experience in my life so i can't really have the right feeling of a car.. just keep trying!

I'm scared of the Nurb, think my best time round it was 7'30 odd in the Spirra.

But if the aim is to set a fast lap, surely that involves pushing the car a bit too hard sometimes? Even professional racing drivers do that!

I just don't have the time to keep making mistakes in order to get a good laptime on this track. Any other track and it wouldn't be a problem, it's just the Nurburgring is so damn long...
