A light-hearted look at GT4

Circuits running track days will only have 6 cars at a time racing on them, no more, no less.
 
There's a race track in areas of cities that are often sites of traffic jams.

Off-topic: How was the term "traffic jam" thought of in the first place? "Jam" just sounds like a really random word to use.

Traffic jams are caused by fruit spread all over the road surface.


^^^^^^
Sorry, could not help myself.

Wonder how the Suzuki GSX-R/4 '01 can drive so fast if its doors are always coming open?

1) You have to get a license to go into a race, even though the other drivers often times obviously failed the tests.

2) If you win, you are given these "A-Spec points", which are completely useless, but have the same effect on drivers as stickers do on pre-schoolers.


5) If you're drivin' round town in your Caterham, you're not allowed to go anywhere near the races. Your car is too pimp for them.


:lol: :lol: :lol: Some very good (and funny) points there-especially no.5-never thought I'd see the words Caterham and pimp in the same breath! Gold.
 
When cars reach their top speed they lose speed, gain speed constantly as soon as the revs reach the limiter.
 
You spend 750k on a Rally Car, only to find it's Pirelli Scorpions are 40k extra.

You see some truly obsessed fans, the same ones are at every single one of your races, ever, but are too shy to ask for autographs.

Every non-race car you buy or win comes with medium grade Sport tires, but you have to go to the dealer and "buy" factory tires, even though they're free...:crazy:
 
If you change the oil in your car, it becomes so happy that it makes noises like a scared Dr. Zoidberg!

It is possible to fine some place, somewhere, where there is a Honda Civic with less than 10 miles on it.
 
No matter how little-known or unimportant the race is, you will always win a car for getting 1st place.

Any track, even the Nurburgring, will gladly close down the entire track at any time so you can practice by yourself for just 5 credits. (or is it 10?) Some major cities will close down some of their streets for you too.

There is no such thing as cruise control, and the white parts of the taillights are just there for decoration, and obviously not to indicate when reversing.

When you want to get your license, to make it difficult the organizers make you travel to a different part of the world for every driving test.

When you're not on a racetrack, it is impossible to take a picture of more than one car.

Who cares if it's 2010? That doesn't mean you can't win a car from 12 years in the future that was made by a shoe company!

You can get an all-original 1886 motor carriage with an automatic transmission, traction control, anti-lock brakes and power steering.

Rally license? Psh. Surely the WRC can't require you to have a rally license. Doing 2 dirt trials while getting your normal license is definitely enough.

Cadillac never built a buyable car.

:D
 
About that Cadillac Cien.. why is there such a huge gap between gear changes. What I mean is when it changes gears it seems to take forever for the revs to start to built up again. *Gear change.. ..Revs build up again. Doesn't pick up straight away.

And auto gearboxes in some cars that only come with auto in real life sound like a manual in GT4. Like the older shape Mercedes SL500 for example.

LOL, thats a good summary of gt4 :P
 
Nobody has the courtesy to change their car's oil before selling it. :grumpy:

Add to that, there is a severe shortage of car yard detailers in GT4 as every car (except 10.0km/6.2mile models) you buy from a used car lot needs a wash. :D
 
Not sure if it was mentioned yet but:

I learnt from GT4 that turbo engines get activated by remote control. When you have a flying start and look at the gages you'll se that the turbo is "off" when the car still drives no matter which rpm and once the autopilot let'S you drive the turbo is activated on all cars at the same time.
 
1)A record breaking amount of cars with less that 100HP.....

2)A record breaking amount of cars with less than 40hp

3) A record-breaking amount of cars with less than 20 hp! :drool:



40,393 sticks of chalk were used to graffiti the pavement at Nurburgring.

Giving a brand-new Le Mans Prototype that has brand-new racing oil Gran Turismo-Grade oil will miraculously give it 20+ more HP.
 
I've learned that in order to get a racing license, you have to be willing to criss-cross the entire planet several times over in a span of 16 days...
 
Google's great if you're bored, isn't it? :lol:

Actually that was a guess! I have no idea how much chalk was used, or if it's even chalk!

I always wondered! Does it really look like that there? o.0

Yes it does, but I imagine not always. If that is chalk, most of it would wash off in a rain storm, right?

Teleportation. It's not just for Star Trek anymore.
