GT4 Competition: Week 1

[XeVeNskyLiNE]

Yea good idea L-Spec.

Damn Heep, someone REALLY likes GT4, lol

[Heep]

Hey, it cost me a whole of $50 Canadian to make (minus DFP), $35 of which was the seat...

[2.2 Straight six]

woo! 2.2 currently owns at the infineon raceway. in my M3 (not GTR/CSL)

















wing with full downforce (front & rear) and 19 ballast to meet power-to-weight ratio.

[Heep]

Yeah I should put a nasty wing on for some downforce. I should also learn how to take the damned fourth corner (right over the hill) correctly

[2.2 Straight six]

i'm fine with that corner, it's the two before that one (the one's over the crests) that get me, the M3's good overall, but needs some fine-tuning on the suspension the prevent the understeer it's getting. i'm still trying, i knocked 0.2 seconds off that posted time, get pics later.

[2.2 Straight six]

and 2.2 raises the bar after a half-decent 1:29.426 in an M3 CSL.

pics soon. i'll also get one of the top-ten.

Good improvment! Maybe Camaros don't suck that bad on corners Do you try drifting it? That would actually be a pretty cool thing to see!

Well.. I'm off to try and capture the title of Infineon!

EDIT: Ah, fuck it. 2.2 put up a really tough time to beat, good job! Maybe if I increased power but increased weight...

yup, i can't get much off it, and i've tried a lot of cars. i'm fine tuning the suspension, weight balance etc..

i do two things, either have a lot of power and a lot of ballast, or i do all the stuff that won't affect power, then work out how much power i can have to meet the ratio (or be close) and modify the engine to match that.
