eeep... Motorland. I am absolutely brutal at that course, the spacing of many of the corners doesn't agree with me. I'm gonna have to think about this a little.

edit:
actually, I'd like to volunteer to help judge this comp. I'd like to try and avoid the difficulties we had in attaining scores in the last 2 GTPDC's.
(my way of saying I'm wussing out of the competition :sly: - but I might put together a demo if I find the time and a fun car)
 
I wouldn't mind judging this if I was a judge, my semester started and its not going to get bust anytime soon, hopefully.
edit: change my mind because Im rusty and I need to get back to my roots XD sorry ^^"
 
My two cents: Even though vehicles lighter than 1000kg are (in general) low powered, I suggest every one to (at least) try drifting with N3 tyres. Yes, they grip a lot, but you'll be able to drift succesfully the tight hairpins in 1st gear without losing speed. Last corner will be a bit difficult to do, but not very much.

:)
 
Interesting track choice.. I've always been fond of this as a drift track, but I've never mastered it. It can even be linked from start to finish (manji before the esses, I guess), but the narrow, tight track makes it very hard indeed.

I'm used to drifting heavy cars myself (I like the leaning and squatting), I don't know if I have set up any drift cars below 1000kg really... yet

You mean after the esses, don't forget it's the reverse way :)





And the first corner is very very tricky. To me it's one of the most difficult corners in GT4 :scared:
 
heh, that's about the only corner I enjoy on that track. Everything after the esses, is nightmarish for me. The right-left-left after the hairpin is horrible - the corner spacing and corner radii just don't flow together well for me, be it a drifting or racing line. It's the second left in particular that I find difficult.

Oddly, I actually like that corner, I hate the first long corner going the normal way (I always under steer into it).

I completely agree... I absolutely hate this track... I wish they would have brought back the old "Motorsports Land" from GT2... Now that was a fun compact drift track...

I'd like to sign up for judging...

I'm only having one problem on this course so far, and it's this: (circled corner)
turn0bl.png

I can not keep drifting through this corner and continue drifting into the next. Either I have too much speed and hit the grass, or I'm too slow and can't keep drifting. Manji works sometimes, but there has to be a way to link that turn without manji. :grumpy:

I've already linked the entire course in the normal direction, but reverse is much harder.
 
Why don't the contestants of GTPDCs judge all of the videos but their own? This way everybody could compete and there would always be an ample amount of judges. The scores would probably get in faster too becuase the competitors are anxious to see how they did.

First off, no matter how many people may argue, there's going to be bias.


Second, most of the contestants are not familiar with judging these things...


Sheron will get a list of active judges that will return the scores as quicklly as possible. I think you should leave the scoring to the judges. Just my opinion.
 
I've been doing some practice and I can drift succesfully and widely from enter to exit and corners 7-8 (linked). The key is to have traction at low speeds and avoid wheelspinning with throttle control.

In order to have traction you must rise rear stabilizers. I also did so with front ones to keep the car balanced. I setted them to 4th level.

I have that exact drift in my GT4 vid with a R34. It took me a couple of tries but I got it done 👍

Well in the normal direction, the best thing for me is to come from the outside, then when you start gettin closer tape the e brake either 1 or 2 times( Depending on the speed) then get back on the gas alittle and feel your way through....... I would do the same in reverse.
 
Ok, so which part dont I drift for amateur..? That large one under motorland or the huge one next to the car?? Im lost on which turn in the key im supposed to skip for amateur..? Sorry..

No reason to be a dick. I was thinking the small turn at the very begining of the pit.

No reason to resort to name calling. 👎

He showed you that's it's possible. That's it. We all have some challenges with this track and Sheron's given you and example. I would think you'd be somewhat thankful.

Thankful for what?
I simply asked which turn I was not supposed to hit in amatuer and he quoted the top. After reading my post it was evident that I had read the above, and still was foggy on which turn...as I have only ran the course a few times. Not all of us know/remember where the start is on the course..It would have been easy enough to read the post and then reply by saying "Its the one under motorland." Im at work and not sitting infront of my ps2..
I think you missed the point swift.
I didnt need a video, which did no help..because there was no section of the course omitted..and it didnt answer my question.
The video does help in seeing how he attacked the course, thats cool and I appreciate it.
Ill keep my name calling to myself..👍

When you start throwing around names, I really don't care what you point is.
Glad to see that you'll keep that locked down.

After re-reading your post, it's unclear what you're asking. Also, if you're at work, why would you ask a specific question on a track that you're not that familiar with? Since it would obviously be very hard to determine what he meant until you got back home. Had you been at home and taken a look at it, you very well could have said, "Oh, I get it now! I wasn't looking for that before" But being at work, that's not very possible. Especially when you don't know the track that well.
 
I belive Fairlady240zg understands this by now - but just to tie the loosends and remove any confusion that may still be lingering among other members thinking of entering amateur, I'll answer his question directly (since no one else has yet):

You would begin your run after the long-ish uphill left which follows directly after the start-finish gate going in the reverse direction.
ie. the amateur run starts as you enter the section of esses.
