100 Laps of Complex String!

Vasco · Nov 5, 2002

Ok decided to edit seeing as the attention this has gotten.

Fellers, I'm adding in a new rule. You MUST have a photo/screen capture or whatever you can take of once the big 100 comes up (or on the warm down lap) so that you have proof. Just keep that in mind in case there's another race.

Robin2 · Nov 5, 2002

youve gotta be joking...that would have to be the single best reason for going on a killing spree.

Cobraboy · Nov 5, 2002

7+ hours of racing??? You've got to be joking......

vat_man · Nov 5, 2002

All you need is a second event of 100 laps of the Test Course and you'd kill every participant.

Robin2 · Nov 5, 2002

id rather do 100 laps of the test course than complex string.

Cobraboy · Nov 5, 2002

100*5 (5 mins at the most)= 500.
500/60 =
8.3333333 etc HOURS!!

C'mon,

CloneHead · Nov 5, 2002

You're CRAZY!

F1man · Nov 5, 2002

That would take all day! :eek:

Vasco · Nov 6, 2002

come on. someone join me and mustang man. :mad:

at least complex string is easier than test course. i thnk it wouldn't be as boring as the test course.

Not April fools day yet! :rolleyes:

100 laps of Complex String????

Were you drunk or high when you came up with this idea?

LoudMusic · Nov 6, 2002

I'm up for it. 8+ hours you say? What's the vehicle of choice?

LoudMusic · Nov 6, 2002

Nope, nevermind.

CAR DETAILS/RESTRICTIONS/MODIFICATIONS
+ HP LIMIT: 600hp max
+ CAR TYPES ALLOWED: FF, FR, MR, 4WD, RR
+ CAR TYPES NOT ALLOWED: All race cars, only road cars are permitted. Also, no tuners cars such as the Skyline R Tune or S-Tune, Mine's Nismo's/EVO etc...
+ MODIFICATIONS: Any modifications allowed, so long as the HP stays below 600hp

That's just dumb. I might do it in the F094/S, or GT-One / R390 / 787B ... but nothing less than a super car.

Vasco · Nov 6, 2002

really? well, that's a shame. Once i do this i will save the replay and when i get a sharkport if anyone has 7-8 hours spare, they can watch it. :lol:

But, me and mustang man are serious about this. my calculations tell me about 7 hours 40 minutes with the 600bhp car.

Kelly · Nov 6, 2002

you wont be able to save 100 laps free run only your fastest :rolleyes:

Talentless · Nov 6, 2002

You could split it into parts. 10 laps a day or every 2 or 3 dys. Could be done under 2 weeks.

SkylineObsession · Nov 7, 2002

Well i've just spent all day doing it. So it is possible...

COMPLEX STRING - 100 LAPS RESULTS
Car Used: Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo 2seater
Time Started: 9:35am
Time Finished: 5:24pm (had a break for lunch etc...)
Total Time: 7 hours, 28 minutes (don't know how many seconds there were)
Fastest Lap: 4:19.569 (only two laps out the 100 done, were below 1:20.000)
Fastest Lap Set On Lap: 49
Slowest Lap: 4:40.000 or less (which surprised me)
Car HP Before: 595hp
Car HP After: 595hp
Car Mileage Before: 1259.7 km's
Car Mileage After: 2410.1 km's (did two extra laps - Warm down and a lap to count all the cones/brake markers i had knocked over)
Oil change light came on, on lap 27 halfway round the second half circle thingy
"Replay Save Complete" notice popped up on about lap 19
Cones Knocked Over: 15 :mad:

Brake Markers Knocked Over: 4
Laps Completed:
- 100 laps = Race
- 1 lap = Warm Down
- 1 Lap = Knocked down brake marker/cone count

And thanks to not having any sort of seat, my back is now sore (not too bad though).

I wasn't actually that bad come to think of it. (the race) When i was about 3/4's though i started to lose concentration a little which resulted in a few spins, and cones being knocked over, but after that i set pretty good times.
I'd say my average lap time was about 1:25.xxx.

I set the two 4:19.xxx lap times on lap 49 (fastest one) and lap 98 or 97.

Whoever takes up this challenge, is a True Gran Turismo Driver/Fan/Crazy Nutcase in my opinion.

But remind me not to do it in a car with less that 600hp next time...

I dont get it, did you mean 4:40.000???

SkylineObsession · Nov 7, 2002

Whoops.

CloneHead · Nov 7, 2002

Now try 100 laps with a force feedback wheel.

Your arms will fall off.

mobil1skyline · Nov 8, 2002

why in gods name would anyone actually do that??

i think id rather be raped by a large black woman named russel than actually sit down and do 100 laps on complex string....

Cobraboy · Nov 8, 2002

I have pretty much no homework after next week so I may try it just for bordems sake, but I need a damn F1. Super Speedway enduro here I come!!

Vasco · Nov 10, 2002

YES! I finally did it

100 laps of complex string!!! :eek:

I have photos taken, but unfortunately i don't have a scanner

Oh, i need someone to add all those times for me :embarrassed:

Cobraboy · Nov 10, 2002

Tsk,tsk,tsk.... The Sydney schooling system is failing us if you cant add them up.....

Vasco · Nov 10, 2002

Hey, you shut up!

I can't count that many and excel doesn't give me any help either :mad:

SkylineObsession · Nov 11, 2002

Did you cut many corners?
I'll need the settings of your car, just to make sure those times are legitimate.

And the ZX it quite tail-happy too, but it is easily controlled.

Vasco · Nov 11, 2002

ok i'll get the settings today

It's weird though, that i got so good times. :confused:

I didn't cut many corners either, sometimes i spun out, as you can see those are the slower times...

Cobraboy · Nov 11, 2002

Well I just got the Polyphony001 but Im still not going to do the 100 laps, Hell No.
