1'20's

I'm using the d-pad on the controller thinking about swtiching to the analog knob.

sperry · 2006-01-18, 11:31 PM

So, I got my nifty little vid cap card working on the laptop... I updated my Sears Point lap w/ new captured video:

Quite a bit easier to watch...

now, off to turn some laps in the Renault!

Let me know if I forgot anything.

Original Post:

So how many of you have Gran Turismo 4? Anybody interested in a challenge? We could designate a car and track to play in Arcade mode. Take a screenshot or somthing to illustrate your best time. When sombody holds the best time for a week, they get to designate a new car and track.

Any takers?

sperry · 2006-01-19, 12:47 AM

Look good Cody! Thanks for keeping the 1st post updated. You might want to add the winning time to the previous winners list, just so other people can check themselves against old challenges w/o having to scour the thread.

And, after running a few laps on the current challenge I'm only down to a 1'14.601. I'm having a lot of trouble through the esses... the fast line is to cut one of the corners pretty significantly, but the car is *extremely* prone to spinning with one wheel in the dirt... you have to be very straight over the grass to keep control.

I'll try again tomorrow, preferable w/o any Tylenol PM in me.

JonnydaJibba · 2006-01-19, 08:11 AM

That little car is a lot more fun to drive then I thought, you can really huck it around.

So, I'm at 1'23.396 but I'm pretty sure I can get into the 1'22's if I could just drive a lap without at least one "big" mistake. Hell, one lap I was up .5s from this time but blew it in the last 2 corners...

Sperry, is this your best time?

bemani · 2006-01-19, 08:34 AM

He got 1'22.8 something on his video.

JonnydaJibba · 2006-01-19, 08:40 AM

Damn it I was doing the Stock Car Course not the Sports Car Course.

cody · 2006-01-19, 08:47 AM

Sorry I didn't specify in the first post Jonny. I didn't realize there was more than one since I'm not that far in the game.

I used the time from Sperry's video, 1:22.898 to edit the first post...let me know if there's anything else...

JonnydaJibba · 2006-01-19, 08:54 AM

It's cool, he won that anyway, I just wanted to see how good I could do but the Stock Car Course is a lot shorter.

Yeah that was my best time.

JonnydaJibba · 2006-01-19, 11:14 AM

Can't wait to get home and tweak on some lap times. I can really get cookin now that I know the course and have learned how to drive that car. In retrospect, it really is a good choice I think. Hella fun to drive.

bxracer69 · 2006-01-19, 12:28 PM

im in the 1'16's. Got some work to do still

zpeed · 2006-01-20, 08:00 AM

I'm in 1'15 another 2 second off. I gonna try harder this weekend.

JonnydaJibba · 2006-01-20, 08:15 AM

I played for a little bit last night. Lowest was 1 15 077. I quit as I was finally starting to get those chicanes down good.

Bob Danger · 2006-01-20, 11:40 AM

I just started my game over again, so I don't have that track, I played at Jonny's house and was posting 1:15.724.

It should be open by default if you go to arcade>time trial

JonnydaJibba · 2006-01-20, 12:03 PM

Bobbo is retarded sometimes, but who isn't?

I think Alan got his copy of the game from Japan early, or cheaper, or something. IIRC he was posting all sorts of info about the game before anyone else had it. (I think that was bemani posting that stuff... I can't really remember.)

sp00ln · 2006-01-20, 11:56 PM

Yeah, I played it when it was out in Japan too. Thats cool.
