1886 Carriage and The Longest Lap of My Life.

Omnis · Mar 6, 2005

well everybody, i won the Mercedes-Benz Daimler Motor Carriage (1886) and decided i would undertake in the most grueling of races....the nurburgring.

that failed.

so, i tried the next best choice, which was Circuit de la Sarthe II. i dont think anyone has attempted a full lap around this track, or even cleared the uphill chicane for that matter. I did. i have lots of pics and video proving it as well...i also saved the replay for anyone who cares enough to put me under speculation.

i put a piece of paper with my username and gtplanet.net on it on my television screen. maybe this is a new world record... i dont know. lol. anyone care to direct me to some kind of international gt4 times database?

anyway, there you have it...for your viewing pleasure. i can post more pics or a video of how i cleared the chicane later if you want.

so start commenting, and see if you have the inspiration to become a carriage master, like yours truly. :sly:

GT4 Weekly Race Series Week 1, anyone?

I tried doing this to try and annihilate his record, but I was defeated by the first bump in the road....

On a flat, you can get up to 11. 12 if you're lucky.

This bad boy makes the Cappucino look like a supercar.

Only 1Hp and a top speed of.....12Mph.

1. no. i think you can perform a chassis stiffening though. i'll need to check again.
2. how much do you think? 1hp/650rpms. torque isn't any greater.
3. it can't be bought, and you're not getting any money if you decide to sell it. it's strictly a novelty.

top speed is 11mph, and it hits 12 just before it bogs out. my fastest top speed though was about 60mph on the ring. you need to tap the e-brake and roll in neutral whenever possible. the only thing really impressive about the car is its turning radius and super cool driver guy (who looks like a fool).

I just won that car this morning and was able to get it to go 18kmh at Infinion, Although I couldn't get it past the first hill.

zr2man · Mar 7, 2005

Omnis, Why?

I put the motor carraige through the 400m and it does it in 1:38!

i needed a few brain cells to expire anyway.

redfury · Mar 7, 2005

lol, that's hilarious.

ND4SPD · Mar 7, 2005

Lmao, getting up to 60mph in this car is extremely scary.

man common, you arn't doing this car justice, i just pulled a smokin 1:27.3 and that was with hitting the rev limiter once, that had to have slowed me down an easy 2 seconds

clittle · Mar 7, 2005

I'm sure that was the best 40 minutes of your life mate....

Viper007Bond · Mar 7, 2005

Alright, I'll take your challenge.

[edit] OMG, this thing is so slow that I think I'm gonna cry... [/edit]

Viper007Bond · Mar 7, 2005

Damn, you beat me! I just did a 52:32.951 lap.

F1Lover · Mar 7, 2005

you guys should try it in the other 1886 car that only goes like 8 mph before it hits the rev limiter and basically dies

2. how much do you think? 1hp/650rpms. torque isn't any greater.

actually it requires just over 8 ft-lbs of torque to produce 1hp @ 650rpm

too bad there are no drag slicks in the game

CAMAROBOY69 · Mar 7, 2005

This entire thread is soo funny. :lol:

and that is basically crap compared to what one actual horse can pull. lol.

Acroth · Mar 7, 2005

so nurburg is not possible because of the elevation changes?..... just curious why you gave up on going 13 miles in that speed demon

yeah.....no matter how much speed you make on the first downhill, you cannot make the uphill section of the first eastbound straight. also, i would think the uphill portion of the starting grid would be a challenge to climb. if you dont floor it before the autodrive shuts off, you will not be able to make it, and will roll downhill again.

but le sarthe is pretty long too...so :crazy:

VT · Mar 8, 2005

LMAO. I might have to try that if I get bored and need something to keep from lobotomizing myself.

Green_Streak · Mar 8, 2005

you jerks, it's on, i'ma do a lap in the motor carriage, either before i go to bed(not likely) or when i get up. but it's on, i'ma out run ya'll

Green_Streak · Mar 8, 2005

ok, you win, how in the world did you get up the first hill? LMAO, i keep loosing all my speed just before the S into the tire thingy(tried twice)

Mercedes SLR · Mar 8, 2005

This bad boy makes the Cappucino look like a supercar.

Only 1Hp and a top speed of.....12Mph.

With this HP to MPH ratio, the Merc SLR should be able to do 7500MPH!

Nined1teg · Mar 9, 2005

400m in 1'24.163!

I got a cage in this beast too haha, too bad it doesn't show it.

Make the hill less steep, i.e. zipzag up it.
