THE competition thread: Week 1

Ok I'm going to set up a little tournement using very descrptive rules on based on the competition in the spaminator's thread.

Race is held on Nurburgring and you only have $50k to spend, that includes the initial cost of the car plus the parts used to upgrade it. Make SURE to record every single exspense put to the car, so you might want to whip out a peice of paper and calculator for that, then transfer those records over here once you've placed your entry. Rankings will be based on your fastest lap (duh) around Nurburgring and you may take as many laps as you'd like, but only submitting your best lap (duh again). Also if you could get a pic of the screen showing your time that'd be greatly appreciated to making you aren't a cheating bastard :grinno: But if I do feel like something is fishy, I'll take your list of mods and car and see if it truly adds up to $50k and the time you posted

So, quick recap
-$50k for car + parts
-EVERY exspense must be recorded
-Best lap around around Nurbur (photo proof welcome)
-You can enter multiple entries, but they must be of different cars, and already posted times can be edited, but you must make me aware of that

I'd like entries to look something along the lines of this:


Car year, make and model
-time completed

-mods = price
= total $ spent


See? nice, easy, and clear, now get out there and race. It'll be interesting to see how fast we can do with $50k. used car lot here I come!!!!!!

ok, i am going to do this in a minute.

i will buy a used car and record the miles on it.

Thanks, I was using the Rx7's stock transmission so the gearing felt a bit taller that I'd like for it to be, it didn't even top out on the last looooooooooooong straightaway. Anyways, my next text subject is gonna be a Trueno, that'll be interesting....

that will be pretty interesting. I think I might go for a 91 supra or a FC rx or something.

that will be pretty interesting. I think I might go for a 91 supra or a FC rx or something.

Well the eight-six turned out some crap ass time, best was in the 8 minutes 15 secs range. Tried out the FC, broke into the higher 7 mintues times, but the FD is still the fastest out of em and I think it actually handled better than the eight-six, it kinda oversteered in corners which with the right throttle play shot me around some of those corners pretty quick. I'm not sure what else to test out....

maybe a skyrine. or an Supra RZ. I've pretty good luck with that. Just for shits and giggles I ran the Cuda 440 fully modded out with racing meds and I didn't even break 8'30 it was like "under,under,under, SPIN weeeeee"

not a bad car very stable for the bumpy track, just doesn't have the power. That and those damn off camber turns just after halfway point.

hey rydin just keep trying. The big tip for this track is to just ride the snake (no not that) corner out-in-out and try to keep it smooth and fluid.

ok so far it's

Hmmm, yea I tohught about nitrous but never had enough money left, lol. Damn R32, I'm gonna try that out next cuz i don't like losing. 7'21 eh? I'm call 7'19 for me (if it's possible :p )

thats cheap that car is already tuned there should br a rule against that

nuff said



That car is kinda unfair, but then again it does fit into the rules. I'm not sure rather to allow it or not. I think I'll just allow for this 1st week of competition.

i think for next week only production cars no tuners

Yea I was thinking the same thing and uping the total cost to $70k this time around. Track will either be Tsukuba or Monte Carlo

my vote is for Tsukuba

i am not even gona post my new times cause they suck lol

hmmm, Tsukuba does sound like a good idea, I can drift around that thing and still get a good time, lol

The AI on my game is running the 9hr Tsukuba race right now, again because I running out of money. It'll be running for at least another hour or two, so after that your time is going down Xeven. To HPA!!!

begin rant - DAMN I HATE THIS CAR THERE IS NOTHING SMOOTH AT ALL ABOUT THE CAR. IF YOU PUSH IT IT SPINS IF IT SPINS YOUR FUCKED BECAUSE THERE IS NO TORQUE TO GET YOU MOVING. i WOULD HAVE HAD A 7 FLAT BUT I SPUN 3 TIMES AND HAD AT LEAST THAT MANY OFF TRACK EXCURSIONS. IT IS FAST BUT HANDLES RECOCKULOUSLY BAD. - end rant

thats a crazy time.

hey i was just fuckin around on tsukuba with a modded '90 CRX and I just ran a 1'02.798 with only 250 hp

hey one prob guys i live in aus can i just copy someone elses car and mods and then go from there or how much can i spend in the aus version???

"sniff" "sniff" i smell bullshit, BUT I SPUN 3 TIMES, there is no way u could get that time if u spun out 3 times. plus on stock tires your car would have ben all over the places. from the sound of your discreption it was al over the place. its not impossible but spinning out 3 times and still posting that lap time would be insanly hard.

^^^agreed, I don't see how you spun out 3 times and still got that time. I ran off the road 3 times and still got that 7' 16. Oh well, back to the grind for me....


hey one prob guys i live in aus can i just copy someone elses car and mods and then go from there or how much can i spend in the aus version???

Um, is the cost for everything different just because its an Aussie version? I think it should be the same cuz GT4's currency is "credits", not like dollars, or yen, or euros.

Have you done the mission 34 in the game. From i spent so long driving the track i dropped over 30 secs from my time. It's possible. BTW i ran 13 laps to get that time. That's the reason behind my rant. The time before my posted time i spun so much and i still posted a 7'25.

I also already sold that damn car. Piece of crap

'91 Nissa Skyline GTR R32 - 15784

by the way the HPA R32 comes with sport softs. Most people just bypass the hard slicks because most of the time the slicks don't get up to their optimum temperature(which makes the grip in the slicks) especially when their is no tire wear on the practice sessions.

Yea your right i looked over the prices of the coolers ,exhasts etc. and theyre the same as the ones that youve posted. thanx for that man.

i was checking on Race sim central forums. They have some crazy fuckers in there. There was a guy posting a time of 5'59.999 in an aston martin DB9 tuned out. That's a fucking awesome time. Sorry was just excited

sorry last post for a little while. Are any of you using wheels. because i want to go and get the DFP wheel soon maybe i can drop some more time off my runs.

Next track, try tskuba wet.
Do it where you have 70,000 for the car and 70,000for the upgrades

140,000?! that's too much. That and tsukuba dry is more fun.

i am using the wheel . when u first play with it its hard to turn it around fast, i never used to controller so idk if its easier to race with i have no problem with the wheel. its sick to try on nortonburb. the ony thing that is kinda bad is after u turn it it cames back slow so u have to turn back to the center your slef most of the time

its sick to try on nortonburb.

man your typing skills never cease to amuse me :lol2:

hhahaha and my spelling skills

I'll see if I can get some runs in by tonight. This is going to be good...

Tuner cars kicks ass!!! Maybe we should stick to production...

Done for tonight. Gonna try a few more before the week is out.

One more thing; Since we're doing production cars next round, can we do a mandatory oil change on used cars and not affect the total price (in other words make it free)?

Its only 50 creds, its not gonna be life or death. But anyways, word of advice man, for I track like this with so many dips, hills and turns, suspension upgrades is a MUST.

Yeah, I know that. Next time it will be the first thing done. I have lots of cars with lots of opportunities so I'll get the right formula sooner or later...

i think that everything at GT auto should be free (car wash, oc, wheels and wing) also propose that for this next round we set a drivetrain limit like FR only or 4WD or FF MR RR. you know. So is round 2 definently at tsukuba?.

BADGERS BADGERS BADGERS MUSHROOMS..........AHHHHHHH A SNAKE
haha only xeven wil get this

LOL, you loser.

yes, next round is gonna be Tsukuba dry. Same rules, except production cars only. I'm also thinking of maybe regional cars limitation too (japanese, euro, american). Still thinkign about a price limit

hahaha u know your watching that video rite now
