Well... I think there's just a little more left in me... but I don't know that I'll go much faster tonight.

cody 2006-04-17 09:41 PM

EQ Tuning 2006-04-18 11:31 PM

holy crap... I finally won! :)

I really don't know how I ran that lap. I had a 1'24.2xx and then took 2 whole second off with this lap. I was flying and somehow managed to keep it together the whole way.

zpeed 2006-04-19 10:18 AM

Thank Cody for the picture. OK what is the next one bring it on. What happen to Sperry?

cody 2006-04-19 10:27 AM

Ed, go buy a capture card! I want to see that insane lap!

Haha.... Sorry I just bought suspension, brakes, and ordered a turbo. Still have to order injectors and a TMIC so I really shouldn't be buying any computer toys right now :(.

The crazy part is that there are parts of that lap I can still do better on, but I will say I got kinda lucky on that last hairpin... I just barely touched the wall going into it which tossed the car right into line into a perfect little low angle drift.

Ok, I'm thinking we're gonna continue the Rally theme with the Subaru Rally car but this time on dirt. So Subaru Rally car on Swiss Alps normal. Have fun with those AWD drifts! :D

Congrats on the win. But why you gotta go and make me hate you by picking a rally track? :P You clearly don't remember the last time someone picked a rally track and all the bitching that ended up spewing forth from my mouth. :lol:

As far as the last challenge... I ended up not getting any time to run last night before the deadline, so I had to stand on my 1'25.000". I know I could have gone faster, but I'm not sure about a 1'22"! How much were you using the walls? I know I said wall contact was allowed for this challenge, but I was keeping off 'em. Are there some good spots where the walls really help?

zpeed 2006-04-19 11:33 AM

One spot that I fine big help if you just floor it and let it bounce off the wall hopefully come out ok is in the tunnel at the end where the road change color from red to normal (that is my break point). I hate dirt road :(

cody 2006-04-19 12:01 PM

Damn, I wasn't planning on competing in this Challenge since I'm in the process of buying a house and moving and all the great fun that goes along with that...but I love me some dirty Suby action.

Me too. I might just do this one race even though Final Fantasy 12 has consumed my life.

Which Subaru rally car?

Hopefully, not the one we've already used... let's avoid repeats, 'cause then I can keep my list of favorites in Arcade mode matching the challenges in order. :P

Haha... sorry scott, I wasn't playing the challenge back then I think. I used to dislike the dirt tracks in GT4 as well untill I started playing with the wheel. Now I love them. While the courses themselves aren't horribly realistic, IMO the driving dynamics are pretty spot in. It feels very similar to my own car on dirt and takes a lot of finess to get a good time. Just control your speed and get the right angles and you can pull off some really fun slides and still be very fast. I chose this track and car keeping in mind that some people might not like the dirt tracks because IMO the imprezza rally car is one of the more controllable cars and the course is fairly wide with a lot of fun sweepers. I think I'm gonna stick to this challenge as it seems atleast some other people like the dirt as well ;).

Sorry, I thought there was only one Subaru Rally car. The GC8 Imprezza is all I see and its a really fun car on the dirt.

That's the car we've already run before.

cody 2006-04-19 03:05 PM

It's not like there's a lot of good rally cars to choose from. Is repeating the same car really a bid deal?

EQ Tuning 2006-04-19 03:16 PM

The only other car I had in mind was the lancia but its not nearly as much fun as the imprezza. If you guys are cool with it, I'd like to run the Subie, if not, we can run the lancia.

bemani 2006-04-19 06:40 PM

I have no problem with GC8.
