do you have to drive a car in order for it to pop up in arcade mode?
cause I won tha RuF "Yellow Bird" but sold it rite away....now it doesn't pop up in arcade mode.... :guilty:

Do I have to do the Boxer Spirit races all over again?

Also, i'm already doing Extreme races...if i reset races in Begginner or Proffesional, will Extreme lock up again?
 
I think you have to have the car for at least a day or two in the game before it appears in Aracde mode, you don't need to drive it.
 
Oh man... I'm really annoyed right now. I just did the Pan European Championship with a motorsport elise.... and I ended with 36 points, while the tuscan speed 6 had 36 points as well. Damn computer ranks me in 2nd place so I'll miss out on about 400K on credits. :( I won Paris, Cote d'Azur and Grand Valley easily but on La Sarthe 1 and Nür I simply didn't have a high enough top speed to keep up with the TVR and Mercs.... really annoying. :(

I would be happy with second- to me it's win outright or not at all. Although I can understand your anger. :banghead:

It is just frustrating to lose a tournament because of the limited top speed of your car, if the tourney would have had more windy tracks I would have won easily. Usually I would have been like ok, shared 1st place is no 1st place at all, but this time I felt like I deserved to win because I did a very good job at racing. A way better job than when I entered it with my Volkswagen V12 when I DID win :crazy: . :yuck:

I believe that these get unlocked as you progress through the GT mode, you will get announcments about newly added tracks. I don't think its to do with Arcade racing (like in GT3). The cars are unlocked when you buy or win that car in GT mode.
I think this is correct.
no thats just unlocking tracks in gt-mode and arcade 1 player. If you notice on 2 player there are less tracks, only 3 RALLY TRACKS! :crazy:

So you just keep playing GT mode and eventually you will start winning tracks and they tell you? :) :dopey: :indiff: :yuck: :crazy: :ill: 👍 💡 👎 :guilty: :sly: :grumpy: :scared: :dunce: :ouch: :indiff: 👎 :sly: :ouch: :nervous: :embarrassed: ;) :lol: :mad: :confused: :cool: :boggled: 🤬 :cheers: :bowdown: :banghead: :mischievous: :odd: :eek: :rolleyes: :drool:
Man that feels good!!!!!!!!!
 
I have a problem.

For some reason i can go 420 KM/h with my tuned Audi R8 on the Le mans straight, but my B-spec only goes 340 KM/H!!!!!!!!

Also i found another bug:
The re-fuelcan doesn't even come close to the Audi R8 when pitting in and re-fueling
 
Wel that is B-spec problem :). Mine is very well trained but also tops at just over 340km/h...

Yes, tracks get unlocked as days pass in game (approximatelly one year in game must pass (365 days) I believe) that you get all tracks.

I have another problem, I can't find my Auto Union in Arcade mode. If anyone has it in Arcade mode, let me know, where exactly it is. I have it in GT mode (two of them - I bought one and won one) but can't find them in arcade mode - not under audi manufacturer and not under historical cars . Isn't that weird?

You can only drive the Auto Union in GT Mode in Free Run on the Nurburgring, that it, very weird.
I hate that special cars thingy.
 
How do I program B-Spec to pit every few laps automatically.......is it something that can be done only in the endurance hall?

oh.......and if the car pits like on a 24h race who will be there to press the OK pit menu button.......the car will just sit there!
 
Darts: Yes, you can drive it on nordschleife in free run or photo mode only. But I was hoping to be available in arcade mode too ... That is weird and silly indeed. I did drive it just a few minutes ago and it turns very very bad. Did anyone else notice that?

robin2223: You can't. In b-spec you can pit whenever you want, as long as you are there and push the button to order your driver to pit. There is no automatic setting.
In 24hrs race your car will pit, and that menu will pop up. After the car stops on the pit stop that menu will automatically dissapear, if you don't press anything, which is good for 24hrs race. The only downside of that is, that you loose a few more seconds during that "automated" pit stop than you would, if you would be there and press OK. And also if you're there, you can refuel only as much as you need it and therefore drive with lighter car on track.

I also have one question, that I'm sure was asked and answered before, but I'm too lazy to search hard enough. Is it possible to turn off ghost in arcade in time trial or in GT mode in free runs and how??? That ghost bothers me so much, that I could pull out all my hair :).

Press the up button
 
Yeah man, pressing up on your controller or the d-pad on the wheel will remove your ghost and replace it back on the screen when you next press it.
 
Will try that right away ... thank you!!!

Oh and I saw someone mentioning, that it is possible to drive cars from garage in Arcade mode. Is that true and how?
 
WinK
I did a search and found that alot of people run different tyres on the front/rears in endurance races. For example, on RWD cars, they would run mediums on the front and superhards on the rear.

Why is this better than running a car with all superhards?


Two reasons. First the fronts generally don't wear as fast as the rear tires and secondly you have easier steering with the softer tires on front.

True. As you win and or purchase cars in GT mode they automaticly appear in arcade mode.

They automatically take pit-stops when the tyre wear down to dark orange. There is no need to program it. No, the menu automatically dissapears with refuel on and new tyres on too.
 
Is it just me or is that Polydigital cup a complete waste of time? Seriously, you have a Ford GT racing versus a Volkwagen Lupo 1.4..... if I'd use something similar to the Ford GT I don't get many a-spec points and have only one car as competition... if I use something similar to the Lupo I don't win any a-spec points at all.... because the GT owns me. Very unbalanced line-ups appear every time I enter the race.
 
Did anyone just see the feature about GT4 and its UK launch party on Fifth gear?.....Tiff trying to beat KY.....no chance!
 
Gran Turismo 4 was featured on UK TV show Fifth Gear just a few minutes ago. Tiff Needell races Kaz round Fuji 90's AND HE LOST!!! Mind you, their were both JGTC Supras which were 3 years apart AND Kaz has probably driven that track MILLIONS of times!! Did anyone else see it?
 
icemanshooter23
What was Kaz's time?

I dont think it showed it but the way he was driving was near perfect....you could see the car was constantly on the racing line.......not surprised!...the launch party was really amazing right in the heart of london.........looks like it was one amazing event.....there really pushing the game and the francise as the most consise racing game to date.

Occurding to tiff some titles in the GT series (most prob gt3 and 4) have grossed more some than box office movies

He also explained that ferrari and porsche were not it the game because their price was too high!

....did anyone else notice how much better GT4 looked at the launch party....they must have been using some nice TV kit.....or maybe even the Japanese version with HD mode....
 
well I know, that by buying cars in GT mode they get unlocked in arcade, but I was wndering if you can drive cars from your garage only in 2 player split screen or also in arcade time trial or single race?
