~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 Guys, Evo magazine has details of a GT4 competition in the latest issue (Nov 2005). All you have to do is load up GT and head over to the Licence section, you are looking for licence test 7 in the International A licence. Its an RUF Yellowbird around a section of Trial Mountain, post your fastest time and send proof (screen shot for example) to the following e-mail address: eds@evo.co.uk. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Anyone up for doing an SIDC version ? It would be fairer than the last one we ran.....Post piccies up with fastest time but for authenticity ( incase any cheeky blighter pinches a screen grab from elsewhere in an effort to drive The Squirrel into insomnia ) you'll need to put red tick in the corner of the jpeg ( right click and edit via Paintbrush) to prove it yours This thread will no doubt die but what the hey ! Cal
st3ph3n Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 I'd be up for this. A games forum I used to hang about on ran a weekly competition on GT4 prologue. My favourite in that one was piloting the Spoon Fit car round the wee Italian hillside Village. I have some pedigree with these things - I was Glasgow heat champion of the Xbox 10K challenge in 2004 when they used Project Gotham 2 for the qualifiers, and I was world record holder on some of the Edinburgh tracks for a period too. And held the fastest non-TVR lap on the nurburgring for 4 months.
the squiggle Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 Oh my god and i ave just bought a Driving Force Pro wheel Will post my starter time up later on. Grant
clutdav Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 I too had seen the GT4 Comp in this months Evo. So after a morning getting used to playing again - note I was using a control pad no fancy wheels for me - I got this time. How does it fair with everyone else?????? Come on guys and gals get your screenshots up. Dave Edited coz I got a better time.........
st3ph3n Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 I've just remembered - my cousin borrowed GT4 and snapped the disc in half and he's not given me a replacement yet. I'll try and pick one up this week and send him the bill. I've got a Logitech wheel that I might need to whip out for this if we're getting serious.
fai17 Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 What about if we meet up in some secret location(like ma hoose 42" plsma on wall) and play some GT4 for a laugh. My wee boy of only 5years old is brill at it.
pmacFTO Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 We on FTO OC also had a compo to see who could do best time round Nurburg in an FTO then in any car - got some impressive times iirc. Definitely have to try this Evo one tho That RuF is a fecker to handle tho - hehe. I also have the DFP - proper GT4 one (boxed and not used much) Never get a chance to play these days - any spare time is spent playing Everquest 2 or looking after my daughter!! For Sale if anyone wants it - Also got GT4 and an unchipped PS2 to go too! Gotta clear my games room as we have another baby due in January.
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted October 17, 2005 Author Posted October 17, 2005 God damn ! It fired up GT4 last night and realised I still need to get through two full licenses phases before I can do this Must try harder ! I'm a firm believer that these games help real life car control Well done clut fav ! Expect the Squirrel to horse that time though I must invest in a decent wheels and punt the Madcatz sneider ! Bring it on gentlemen Cal p.s how daft am I ( i was hungover !) Just realised that anyone could put a red tick on ANY photo. Not doubting Dave's screen grab but in future put your a "thumbs up" in the piccy i.e place your mitt just to the side of the time
clutdav Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 Now with thumbs up - I have got to stop playing this game and get on with some bloomin work............... I am getting better though - next step a steering wheel instead of the control pad. Dave
weeb Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 aye got 33.499!!! pic to follow and a better time!!!
the squiggle Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 I can only muster a 33.912..... Need more practise The chicane over the rise is a tricky begger and the left hander is causing me a bit of grief Grant
weeb Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 drifting that porker is some job like!!! give me a wee while and we should see some high 32`s!!! just trying to get a good line and breaking point for the chicane!! wots the best scores on the evo mag???
spooks Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Well its official im cack, all I can muster is a low 35 ........................ not a natural gamer Ach well cest la vie. Spooks
weeb Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 well am off for a gt4 session!!! will post ma best time tomoz!!!
2559B Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Just noticed this thread I'm off to get some laps in ............. post time later
weeb Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 this is so hard!!! 33.261. just cant get the chicane good and get too much wheelspin out of last corner!!! anyway practice makes perfect!!
mazheriqbal_mohammed Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 May have to blow the dust of the GT4 box and get some serious times on the go!! Not played it for ages but just like riding a bike . Will post up any 'decent' times i may manage as (of if!!!) they happen.
Johnny50 Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I'm so bad at this.... get on fine until the last corner, and i always seem to understeer way of line.
weeb Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 go rite down the kerb, brake hard at the last sign (braking distance), let off the brake and because there is a compression in the track it puts the car into a slide, control it with power and brake and you should get fired out the corner in a straight line!! this is an easyish bit of track but when u get down to the low 33`s it becomes very hard to improve!!!
Johnny50 Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Cheers Weeb. Nothing improved as of yet...cant even break into the 33's yet !
