Notice : I was looking for a GT4 equivalent to the famous real-life "Super Lap" challenge on Tsukuba circuit, and the only thing I came across here at GTP was nitro_2005's Tsukuba Super Lap Challenge, which looks pretty much dead, mainly because its ranking hasn't been updated since March 31st.
In addition to that, I think that the car selection over there wasn't very clear, and that the lack of replay request added to the general vague and blurry atmosphere.
So I thought I should give the concept another try and set up the :
Game mode :
GT Mode / World Courses / Tsukuba Circuit / Free run
Car specifications :
any japanese domestic market road car with the following restrictions :
Standard clean OLR rules :
Post your best times in the thread and make sure you indicate what car you used.
It's a permanent challenge : there is no deadline.
Feel free to share :
In addition to the overall 'no limit' board, times are split in different categories depending on the car used :
Fastest overall times and fastest times per category will have to be backed up by a replay :
The record holder street car at Tsukuba is the Mitsubishi Cyber Evo, with a fastest lap at 55.801, see the first 2 minutes of the video below.
(there's no need to reply and mention the HKS that ran 54.739 : it's NOT a street car and it was designed only to break that record.)
