Not at home, so can't check, but wondering if the car is immediately available or if we have to buy / earn it?

ps, i LOVE GVS, it's got everything.
 
Nice combo. 👍

Not sure if I'll get much time this week though, just bought Tourist Trophy.

I'll give it a quick spin tomorrow.
 
AHHH THIS IS MY FAVOURITE RALLY CAR!!

All I need to figure out is whether I can be successful on this track. Usually I'm OK, but thats it. Then again, WRS tends to change drivers . . . I'll have to see.

And this week. I'll go around it the PROPER direction . . . reverse.

Actually . . . I think this is one of the two cars I suggested a few weeks back, this and a Karmann Ghia on Cote D'Azur. At least we have the car 1/2, now I'll have to wait for Monaco until another time . . .
 
way to go flatty, finally an acceptable track & car choice :) so let's see who'll be last this week :ouch:
 
After learning to drive properly on ice (Whistler Ice Arena be damned) it's time to get on this swooping combo! :D

T1: 38.670
T2: 1'15.116

And MisterWeary, the link on the board page now directs to Google. :sly:

the concrete is legal... :grumpy:

Agreed. But it's a good thing, as I should much rather be spending time with BC6... If the concrete wasn't legal, nothing could stop me from spending at least SOME time on this race... Not the largest fan of the car, but definitely a fan of the track.
 
ahh....seems that we have power difference problem this time again...at +20% power my car is having 340hp...in order to get the specified 331hp, i can only do +17%
 
In response to the whole HP thing. I think it's fair to assume, that the intention was +20 power, -10 weight. I mean how many times have we done this? Almost all of them that I can remember, the exception being of course last week. I'd be very surprised if Cyril meant +17, because, well, that's such an odd choice to make considering the history of the WRS.

So if I were you guys. I'd carry on with the +20% to 340hp.

That's what I'm doing at least.

well the thing is...that back in week 51..(https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=79197) we have the same problem where the at +20%..the PAL version has way more power than the NTSC one...we at the end agree to run the car at -3% for PAL and +20% for NTSC..though the powers that the two versions are the same when they are rounded to the nearest whole number, if we look at more decimal places, the NTSC car is actually a bit more powerful than the PAL one. This is also proven by mr. jump_ace (https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=79583)...although the difference is small, it can affect the result significantly (especially in division 2 https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=79567)

so in conclusion, we will have to look back to the power figures for the both versions, if one of the versions has an advantage, it will up to the driver him/herself to decide if he/she wants to run this combo while acknowledging that there is a performance difference between the two cars
 
power is moot... i'm out since i refuse to bastardise my favorite track by running on the concrete.
Its like cutting the concrete on deep forest... its gt crime.

Had a look. At +20 in PAL it's 340HP too. We know Cyril is perfect, so he has obviously just put that in deliberately to see if we pick it up. Good job guys 👍. I'll use all the power given to me (Which is none) to give the ruling that you can run +20% @ 340hp.

So if we're not allowed to run on the concrete. What's it there for? Not to grow flowers, that's for sure. Anyway, this is the reverse track, so I can't even think of a point where running on the concrete would be an issue. Maybe on the exit of the right after the left after the 2nd tunnel (Got that :lol:), but doubt you could put all 4 wheels on it anyway without hitting the wall. Regardless, what's stopping you from running not on the concrete, while the rest of us can? Come on, prove us cheaters wrong!

Edit:
Ran a few laps, not a bad combo.

T1 - 37.912 (Had a 37.6)
T2 - 1'12.312 (1'11.7)
 
i think this +20% power-and-different-hp-figure thing has to do with a pal/ntsc difference in calculating bhp/din pk/ps inside gt4. maybe someone wants to test things out. he'll need both versions and an objective track such as vegas 400 strip.
i start this week at 39.366 - 1.16.093.
it looks like div3 competition will be close this week.
I LOVE IT, especially the track. the car would be fine if some oversteer could be induced. flatout, can i use harder tyres than r3s this week? if so please change the opening post accordingly.

There is no problem. I have PAL, and +20%HP gives 340HP. Cyril has PAL so his will too. STLbarcelona5 has NTSC (I assume coming from USA), and his +20%HP gives 340HP. It's just a typo. Run +20%HP.

You usually are allowed to run harder compounds. I don't see why it would be any different this week. I don't want to make it seem like I'm doing Cyril's job, but since he doesn't come around as often as he did, I don't want your questions to be overlooked. (No offence intended Cyril)

Finally? :lol:
Flat-Out gives a good combo every week (and last week's new york F1 race was no exception.
The Spoon Civic wasn't an exception either, and nor were any of the week's before that.

Nice pick Cyril. 👍
Hopefully I will get the chance to run a bit but you know me- busy, busy, busy. :ouch:

That and half-life2 is in the box right now and turning the xbox off to turn on the ps2 may be hard (unless I think about the idea of playing Forza!) :lol:

None the less, looks like a fun race.
Catch you all around. :cheers:
Btw, Watson, 👍
(concrete comments = rep points) :sly:
 
May i say...i hate Ice!! :D Just got hold of the NTSC version imported when my PAL save went wrong, thought it would be easier, but can't find a save with this car available in arcade, would anyone be so kind? :) (NTSC .max file) :(
 
I agree w/ Tim. I many only be Div2, but i had the HARDEST time winning the Ice Arena. Had to Wall-ride the whole way! W/ the Impreza Prototype against the Lancer GSR. I suck.

Lol, that's the way I would've done it most likely... Just floor it the whole time and make sure you drift enough to make only the rear sides of the car hit the walls. It's pretty fun tossing the car around between the turns to make it so you don't get a penalty like that... :sly:

Awww, come on, if you're going to be doing that, I'll need some too. Eh? 👍 And since you're at it too, you're getting some back...

There's an NTSC garage with everything in my signature. 👍
 
Thanks Z, as ever you're the man! :)

I think the last one i got liste everything as unlocked but nothing was in Arcade :(

So thanks Z, i'll test it out now! :)
