Nitrous is back ?!

[JDM_Tuning_S3OZ]

I believe the word used was racing series, please read the thread before commenting, drifting is a contest scored by judges.

And I believe I said time-attack as well. Which sometimes involves drift cars to post the fastest time through a course while drifting. Therefore not always judged by people, but the clock

Oh which time attack series are you referring to?

 

[JDM_Tuning_S3OZ]

World Time Attack Challenge in Sydney, and I'm pretty sure I've seen videos from New Zealand and all over Europe, just not sure what the series are called there

 

[BURIAL]

Okay so nitrous use accounts for about 0.01% of racing series around the world, we'll say virtually none.

I get the feeling you don't like nitrous.

Yeah well if you've attended this weekend long event you'll realise it doesn't matter that there isn't a ton of nitrous used in every car. It's still one of the best weekends of Motorsport in the world. Also I get the feeling you're a Nascar or F1 diehard fan just by seeing a comment with drifting, you immediately try and start something

 

[HBR-Roadhog]

edit:would still like a rewind feature

Really? That is such a lame feature, when I heard it was in Forza I was hoping that it would be in the test drive mode as it could actually be useful for tuning if it was but no, it is just in races and hot laps.

Personally I think it should not be available in any racing game, if you go into a corner to fast there should not be a do over.

I don't care either way as i'm not getting GT6, i remember it in GT4 and it wasn't particularly useful, but then again that didn't have multiplayer so you didn't really need to use it against the braindead AI.

Also I get the feeling you're a Nascar or F1 diehard fan just by seeing a comment with drifting, you immediately try and start something

I could care less about NASCAR and don't follow F1, I do follow Super GT, Blancpain, DTM, LM/Nur 24HRs. I have loads of respect for drivers that can drift door to door like they do in D1, and i actually have been drifting in GT since GT3 so no i don't have any disdain for it, it is what it is.

 

[mustafur]

Using it as a push to pass would have its purposes, anyone that saw how it was used in GT4 would know its anything but flames and woosh like, it can be a good alternative to having something such as KERS which would be quite difficult to accurately setup with how the recovery works.

So wait your not getting GT6... So why bother saying anything, also in GT4 it was alright you could utilise the use of it quite well

What difference does it make what racing series allow nitrous in real life? Not at anyone in this thread, but I've seen the argument before.

 

[Steph290]

I welcome it and believe there should be a filter for it online, but personally I wouldn't want it to reflect in the performance points. I think it would add to the challenge not knowing who racing against you is equipped with NOS... always searching your rear view mirror with your finger on the trigger looking to see someone creeping up rather quick, lol. I would like the frequent use of NOS to affect the rate of engine wear tho. That boost should come at some price.

I bet drag racing series account for way more than 0.01% of racing even world wide. Even if you don't like it as a form of racing it still has a big following.

Exactly because GT's aren't know for having tons of full on racing series. And many create their own, so why these two are arguing that is just between them. Also if Burial isn't going to buy the game, why does he care other than to smite PD as seen on other threads.

 

[Steph290]

Last sentence ^^ = agreed.

Yeah drag racing may have a big following but it is the most pointless form of Motorsport in the world

Excuse me? I'd argue quite the opposite. Drag racing is a pure form of racing taken straight from the streets. It's probably done more on any given night than any other Motorsport in the world, on and off the track. It represents what every teenage boy to retired old man wants to do on the road at a set of lights with a nice car. Even the most avid drag racing hater can't help but take someone on at a set of lights in a rival car. Drag racing is a majestic vision, a basic need, a primal urge, a way of life for many, and hard to pass up by few. Indeed, drag racing is far from the most pointless Motorsport around.

Yeah bud any brain dead leadfooted person can gun it from the lights and think they're doing something talented..
Every teenage boy and retired old man wants to do it ? Uhh no, I'm 18 and I think you'll find most of the teenage drivers these days are drifters more than anything, as for the retired old men well nuff said they're just trying to look tough at the lights

 

[Aphelion]

Im pretty sure nitro isnt allowed in races!

 

[ProjectWHaT]

We've been discussing how nitrous is allowed in some drag, drift, and time trial races...

 

[Zuel]

A pointless option unless you’re drag racing, using it as a PUSH to PASS or Kers system is pointless because those options are either recharged after a lap or pit stop, nitrous runs out.

A basic need, a primal urge, a way of life? I can think of a lot of better things, stop watching "To Fast to Furious"

Say whatever you want and toss in the predictable close-minded attack but I don't have to prove I'm correct, because this isn't a matter of opinion, it's fact. The fact is drag racing is not the most pointless motorsport, simply, soley, because it's something people do, almost instinctively, for bragging rights since the beginning of the automobile. And I'm sorry but no, the world is not full of drifters, especially teens driving their parents hand-me-down cars and minivans. But line two teen boys next to each other at a traffic light and what are they going to do? Drift to the next light? Lol, I don't think so...

Please read my previous posts before commenting, we already went over drag racing.

Well good for you. But it is a way of life for many people. I'm not talking about on the street, that's just by and by, I mean on the track. It's a way of life for many people on the track, it's special, and it holds a lot of meaning to people who spend a lot of time and money trying to squeeze another 10th off their time. You don't have to respect it, but why do you have to knock it?

Edit, someone else pointed this out, but my god people in the GT6 forums are too serious.

 

[GeeBaby]

I don't see a problem with it. You don't have to use it if you don't want to. I just hope it can cause engine failure as well, just as it does in in real life.

I see alot of Drag room online all the time so I think it is geared more towards those guys than to the regular circuit racers. The game is suppose to be fun for everyone so the more features in game, the better it will be.

 

[Zuel]

I'm not knocking drag racing, I love drag racing myself, it belongs on the track and the track only. Though the return of Nitro to GT is useless unless there is a drag strip included in GT6. I can see it being used by people of love to drag or the casual player.
@XS

 

[Sage Ages]

Why is everyone concerned with what types of racing nitrous is used. It's a driving simulator. If you dont like it, don't use it.

Im pretty sure nitro isnt allowed in races!

Why are you talking about nitromethane in a thread about nitrous?

Hand-me-down cars and minivans?
Does every teen where you live not have a job and just live off their parents ? You're an American I'm guessing because you can't let go of something that's a lost cause.
And yes I do drift between lights sometimes, problem?
You say it gives you bragging rights bragging rights over who? The random guy in the **** muscle car while your trying to impress the girls watching you. Yeah just no.

Try and throw a car sideways at over 150k/ph

Indeed, I agree. I mentioned street racing because it's common (and I don't endorse illegal drag racing, but I'm also pointing out how engrained into automotive culture it is). But you are correct.

Seriously? You can't have a debate without repeated attacks? The Sony forums aren't too far away, why don't you go over there.... Oh, and I'll end this argument if you can honestly tell me that you've never, ever, drag raced once, anywhere.
