Snipe, as in sniper... you know, sweeping in at the last minute and "sniping" the win with one shot, so to speak.

And I'm all for a fast, RWD, racecar at Laguna Seca. :devil:

Gotcha.

OK, while I can't tell you exactly what the next challenge will be, it's WON'T be a fast RWD racecar at Laguna Seca.

Um I meant... "I'd like a slow FWD street car, at the top speed oval." :lol:

Haha, perferct.

First post is updated with the results for challenge 5. How about Challenge 6 Gary?

Does this mean you cant hit the blue and white corner markers at all?

Eh? What's a "corner marker"? What track are you talking about?

Its the blue and white trim that you find going into and out of the corners on either the inside or outside of the track....seattle is was on every corner.

Guys, I'm so busy right now. I don't want to pull a crappy challenge out of my ass. I bequeath my current Challenge Chooser status to Cody, for all of his efforts.

Hey Dean, you can hit the blue and white (or red and white) burms all you want. They count as "paved surface". But if all 4 wheels go in (or over if you jump) the grass or dirt, that lap would be impermissible.

Gary, thanks for letting me set the challenge. I won't be home until 8pm or so tonight, but I'll figure somthing out at that time.

So, does everyone hate RallyX in GT4 or just Sperry? :)

RallyX!

I'm OK with it.

How about:

Car: Subaru Rally Car
Track: Grand Canyon
-Same rules as previous challenge except obviously you don't have to keep the wheels above pavement. :D

I think it's just Scott. Grand Canyon is a tough track I think. I still can't beat the Hard race in GT mode.

That's just the only track I can think of. Sombody give me a list of all 3 base dirt tracks, and I'll pick an easier one.

I suck at Google.

Which version of the rally car?

There's more than one? I only have one IIRC. It's a yellow and blue and a GC model IIRC.

Okay, so there's only the '99 rally car in the beginning. As for tracks, there's Grand Canyon, Cathedral Rocks 2, or Swis Alps, all of them have normal and reverse tracks.

I'm not saying I'm not down for it, it is just a challenging track, therefore good. Sheesh.

Wow, there's rallycross in GT4?

Unfortunately, there isn't... that would actually be fun. Instead we get GT4's bastardization of "circular one-on-one stage rally"... whatever that's supposed to be.

If you're gonna pick a rally track, at least pick one that doesn't take 3 minutes per lap. I think 1 to 1.5 minute laps are a decent rule of thumb so everyone can get enough laps in without having to spend 10 hours on it.

3 minute laps are a bitch. Cathedral Rocks? It's the short one I think.

I think you're right Jonny, but I can't remember which is which. Works for me.

I ran a 2'38.248 with stock power level on grand canyon a year ago.

Which is the track where you start out by making a sharp left turn that leads uphill for a little bit and then you catch air and turn left all at once? I think that's Cathedral rocks. It's short and I like it.

Sounds like it.

That's the one.

Okay great so:

Car: '99 Suby Rally Car
Track: Cathedral Rocks 2 (Normal)

Sound good?

I'm not sure if I've driven that one yet. Can't remember.

Did you guys Gold the Grand Canyon License Test? I'm all for Grand Canyon! ;)

Gary, it sounds like Grand Canyon might be too long for some people. I'm down for any dirt track though. You guys figure it out.

BTW, I'll be leaving town tonight and won't be back till Sunday night so I'm sure Sperry can edit the first post if we don't get a track nailed down before I leave...or somthing.

Cathedral is fine. It's your choice. I'll drive whatever you tell me to.

I was just wondering if anyone had Gold for the Grand Canyon license. Took me forever to get it, but I finally did.

Gary

Ok cool, we'll stick with Cathedral. I haven't gotten to the dirt license tests yet. I assume I'll be getting there soon though. I'm working on my iA license.

I loath GT4's rally physics. I did the bare minimum to get the license, and haven't looked back.

Gravel for sheezy.

Rally license is the easiest to get gold on. Probably took me longer to get gold on the straight line braking test than the rally tests.

In GT3, to get the '02 WRC WRX you have to get all golds on the Rally test. I think it took me like 50 hours to get the gold on the final test where you have to run a full lap of Tahiti Maze. :eek:

I think the GT4 rally tests are a lot easier than GT3's though.

Okay, so what's the official challenge? There are two Cathedral Rocks Trails.

The second one, the short one.

thank god.

How far out is a 1'08.6? 5 seconds off the pace? more?

I've never seen the track before! Did about 5 laps and I'm in the 1:09's.

Gary

I did about 10 laps and got 1'05.9xx.

Is anyone running? I'm down to a 1'06.441... I seem to get lower times by just crashing into the rocks and driving away. :roll:

I'm running. Stop crashing into rocks...

Yeah, I just ran a 1'05.325, but my line is comically unrealistic. I finish the lap spinning across the line. :lol:

I did 1:23:whatever on my first couple of runs

I am a poster child for Maaco

Wow, one hour, 23 minutes, and whatever seconds. You might want to think about another sport. :P

I'm minutes away from finally joining this challenge. :D

BTW: Here's my excellent dismount...
