How good are you at this game?

[SandStorm]

I'm not saying I'm the best at GT2, but this is how good I am. On the approach to a corner, I put the car out so wide that I brush the wall. When I take the corner, I hang the inside of the car over the rumble strip and on the exit from the corner I am carrying so much speed that I scrape the wall. How good are you?

The more gold in licence tests you have, the better you are. I have 55 golds. How many you have?

 

[The Porko]

Me i do **** in the tests. I drive better when i am racing.

 

[skynyrd]

Last time I got really seriously about the license tests, I ended up with about 33 gold, and all the rest silver except for 3 bronzes.

 

[hsrdragger]

Yeah, lets all brag about how many golds we have, when everyone else could be saying b**l:censored:s**t!
What is the point you know!

 

[Talentless]

[Talentless]

That took me 3 days straight to get gold from.

 

[Fogelhund]

I'm competitive. I've seen a few much faster, and I've seen many more much slower.

 

[skynyrd]

I'm about average really, I usually rank about the middle of the times posted at racing-line.org, but never in the top half except for the hybrid ones.

 

[Fiery]

Been a while, reckon my GT2 skills would be down a bit...

Cleaning up my HD yesterday I found a heap of my old GTXR-3 race replays with my coldfire built 390 hybrid.....anyone interested can have them and my car to have a chase if you like...unfortunately, most are in PAL format, I have a couple in NTSC and the car in both formats..

 

[SandStorm]

Yep, I'm interested!

Ive been back on the gt2 game and have improved immensley.
I guess playing the gt3 game and going to manual shifting has helped a bit too.
I remember being cocky coming on to gtplanet. "I am a master of all tracks and master of the game" or so I thought.
People like Phil, Talentless, Jordan and many of the old school players taught me a valuable lesson.
No matter how good you are in your mind, its the mind of others that beat you.
Misnblu
Oh, I still consider myself average (now ) and just like in real life, could be better. Its just a matter of pushing yourself.

 

[Shannon]

i'm not the greatest

see, i can be honest. my license test medals = about 12 golds, 30 something bronzes () and whatever is left is silver.

how i drive = offroad....all the time

 

[KanaL]

i have no bronze medels anymore... someting liek 17 gold... the rest in silver

 

[Shannon]

better than me

 

[KanaL]

hehe, maybe... but it doesnt mean i can put my licence skills into the actual game... grrr

 

[Shannon]

something has got me wondering, why do you have to stay on the road or not crash in license tests if it doesn't matter when you race?

 

[KanaL]

yeah, thats a very good question...

it seems to be the most formal way around a corner, but i think we all know that it aint always the quickest way abround every single corner!

 

[Shannon]

yeah, i know

i prefer wallriding

 

[misnblu]

Depends on the track. Trial mountain I find myself cutting the last chicane to the straight away and on the Apricot Hill, the s turn there is sometimes cut.
My little way of saying the heck with it and go anyway.

[Shannon]

the s bend at the of apricot hill, after i come around the corner before it, i just head straight across the grass

looks at it this way, in a 4wd car you can handle it easily without slowing down thus making it quicker. FF cars can also handle this. I've done it in MR and FR cars as well.

 

[KanaL]

i usually find it easy to cut across almost any s bend... i spose my licence tests have helped a little bit...

 

[Burnout]

i'd say i'm about a 8 out of 10

 

[SandStorm]

ed and Misnblu - You want cutting across, you come see the cutting across master!
BTW, misnblu, where did you get your name from?

 

[SandStorm]

And also, I'm a great wall-rider!

 

[esi20vgt]

Wall riding lol wo-hoo, only time I purposely do that is if IM drunk or really high. More fun to drift then anything else.

And a great braggart, too...

I have a few golds, a few more silvers, and the rest bronzes. I even have one kiddie prize... it's for the slolom test in the IA license. I mean, WTF! They give you a slow crappy car and expect a miracle.

I know I know Jazza, you got a gold.

But I play VIDEO GAMES for fun first. Someday I may go back and take on the tests again... some day when it seems fun.

And as far as cutting corners through the grass . . . hey, why not. In the last S curve on Apricot Hill I always cut accross the dirt. And the last chicane on Trial Mountan.

 

[esi20vgt]

Nothing wrong with short cut's lol through the grass but wall riding is lame. Maybe with the Escudo and GTONE but anything else is pointless.

 

[Burnout]

no point
