:lol:

Seems very sweet combo mate 👍

I'll give it a run for sure
 
Road = N3's?

i always get confused with these :(, i only understand the N, S and R numbers lol
 
Ill get working on it right away 👍 looks like an interesting combo. Ill get th win this week if it kills me, ive been edging closer and closer each week. :dopey:
 
I hope I'll have more time this week. Interesting combination, power, rear wheel drive, normal tires, and lots and lots of weight!

Yeah Road = N3. Except they're not called N3 on the menu screen. The designations go N1, N2, RD.

Beats the hell out of me why they would do that.

Maybe that's slightly different in PAL...on my NTSC the choices are Economy, Comfort, Road (N1,2, & 3)

Road tires are also called N3, so that's what to use this week.👍
 
This looks like it will be fun, and I better give everyone a warning: I’m back from my self-imposed ban of GT4, for the past two weeks, and I’m coming after the top spot in D2!!! :P Good Luck 👍 👍

Yeah, we had this problem at Citta di Aria a few weeks ago. PAL is different.

For N tyres the choices are Economy, Road, and Sport. But on the menu screen it comes up as N1, N2, or RD (which = N3). Just so long as everyone knows to use the grippiest N tyre it's fine.
 
This is like driving a tank on ice with RD tyres :boggled:

Definately gonna be a week to practice grass-tracking on the tighter corners.

And for some corners you have to brake BEFORE the gear indicator starts flashing, so braking points will have to be learned by repetition. :crazy: :scared:

Gonna be hard this week, not as frustrating as last weeks, but hard.

Oh and to confirm, in a PAL game it should say RD in the tyre type section of the main screen

*edit* God i'm getting sea-sick with the crappy soft suspension!
:ill:

I'll put the first craptastic split up:

T1: 42.715

I'm thinking sub 40 should be my goal, but that's all I got before I go to bed.
 
I don't know about anyone else, but the stock arcade settings on the car for me aren't 388 hp and 1825 kg, its something like 363 hp and 1660 kg. Is anyone else coming across this? And what should I do? I'm sure I have the right car and I'm using the NTSC version of the game.
 
Hi everyone!

Long time since I raced WRS now, but I'm gonna be back this week :) after a demanding BC5.

First that little Renault at Autumn Ring and then the Caterham on the Infineon track. (still soooo impressed by Minorshunts effort here.)

Love Suzuka, gonna race it now! :D
 
I'd normally pass on this, but the choice of tires, car and that DAMNED BEAUTIFUL COLOR!!!!!! has me convinced otherwise.

She's soooo pretty,

It should be 388 hp and 1825 kg. Are you sure you didn't choose the FPV F6 Typhoon?


My own result after 13 laps:

T1 - 42.889

I think I'm pretty close to my top in the first sector, but I can still take 0,5-1 secs in the the second.
 
Ok

I'll come in at third place......for now, after about 10 laps

42.918

Like the track,

The car, and i use the word in it's loosest context, I think is the worst P.O.S. that it has EVER been my misfortune to 'drive', married to road/N3 tyres......?

💡

Put a wheel at each corner of my couch with tyres made from re-cycled rubber-bands, stick a lawnmower engine into it, get my missus to cobble a suspension together out of knicker-elastic, pencil erasers and empty Biro tubes, and use lego bricks to make an adjustable gearbox!

That mite handle and go better!

Might not even continue this week!

Actually Nat,

Can I go in first place please????

42.398

Yay! First time for everything eh?

Ok, will be continuing for the time being, that is, until Hot/Holl/Veil et'al come along and post splits 4 seconds faster than me again. Would also help if i didn't hit my personal wall after only a day or two, i can only hope!

Im having a problem :scared:

The FPV GT '04 dosn't show on the car selection screen in arcade for me :boggled:
duno why because i can get it in GT mode so why not arcade any help would be apreciated.

BTW im using PAL

i didnt realise i was using the wrong car till i read Jonas_AH's reply to TruBoo, then i realised i was using the FPV F6 Typhoon :dunce:
