Nurburgring Challenge Version 2 *POST YOUR TIMES*(N2, S2 and R3 Tires)

[Mr. Apex]

Lol Mr.Apex. I was going to start my Amuse GT1 S2K time on S2 tyres but since your just offering for a challenge, I cannot possibly resist.

Yeh, as I said, there is so much time available on there for a clean lap with controlled wheelspin but as I'm sure you've discovered.. its easier said then done... especially from my view considering that I am using the DS2! Goodluck to us both, I say haha. and anyone else who wants to join in is also welcome.
I'll start that now and post my S2k S2 tyre time soon.
Under 8 minutes and plenty of frustration here I come!
Oh... And you can call me Brian

Edit: Just got 8'02.xxx but lap was still not clean and now the playstation is screwing me over and not loading so I cant remember exact milliseconds, But it doesnt matter, I know I can get better anyway, its just annoying because now I have lost my focus and concentration because it is not loading :S.
Edit: 7'58.410 ... ... Just gotta do a clean lap now, and I know it can be done..

But I have my Amuse GT1 time on N2s... but am choosing not to post it just yet

All righty, Brian!

Congrats already on your dirty sub-eighter! 👍
Will be down south with my fiancée for the weekend and won't be able to battle right away...
But I'll try to beat your first clean lap ASAP next week! And of course the very mysterious Amuse S2K GT1 time... whenever you're gonna post it. You're hoping to beat VTRacing's time too, huh? Well if so, then that's gonna be a tough nut to crack for me... it has been some time since I tried to beat it, and I don't know if I've progressed enough in the meantime... we'll see.

To a bloody battle 'til the very end!
David

think i'm going to concentrate on the 'all other models' class and the S2 tyres... 1st clean lap... 7'56.398

I'm huntin' you down on this one Mr Apex....... but i may have bitten off more than i can chew...

He he he... Dave^ hunts Dave...

Don't give up all too easily! I didn't put too much work into that lap since I do not like the setup and neither the sound of the car... So if you'll beat it, I won't be trying to steal back P1 all that soon...

 

[AusBoyRacer]

DONE! Ohh What a relief!
Here is your time to beat Mr.Apex..

7'57.747 - AusBoyRacer - Shelby Cobra 427 '67 - N2 - UPDATED

It IS clean, There is a time when I had both wheels on the ripple strip..at the start - first set of S-bends. But ripple strips are part of the track so 👍.
Now I can concentrate on Getting back my Sports B title and lapping the Amuse on S2's! Wooo! Fun finally lol

Oh and James, Would you be able to swap my old Shelby Cobra time on N2s for this one please

Will post video this afternoon after school.

 

[AusBoyRacer]

LOL!

Just watching the video of my clean lap..
And you can hear the Drum'n'Bass music that I was listening to in the background! 👍 Haha!

Edit: And VTRacing's time would be good to beat but I think in all honesty It would take me a week+ just to take a thousandth of a second of it! It is VERY quick and Congrats to him. But I also did do a quick lap ... posting soon whenh I do the S2 time and get my Sports Class B P1 back! hahaha!

 

[•GT 4Ever•]

Congrats, Brian! Victory tastes sweet, huh? Well enjoy it while it lasts... muahahaha...

What kind of help are you thinking of?

Best export specs for Youtube are:
MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid)
320 x 240
MP3 or AAC (Sound)
30 f/ps

With these specs the vid will be under 25 MB.

Muahahaha! Victory is good 👍
But Victory should also encourage tho ones that did earn victory to try harder!

Umm, How do you change the specs?
Thanks for your help Dave.

Thanks for your help Dave.

You need some sort of software that can export video in other formats... like for example Quicktime Pro, iMovie or Windows Movie Maker...

Otherwise, there are of course open source video editing softwares around:

Can I put my (incredibly slow) times here?

You can post any time you want here as long as it's a clean time.

Edit: Just posting these times again because they must have been overlooked when getting times to put on the leaderboard James

I thought I put those times on the board, in the Sport Cars A & Supercars.
Oh well, there up on the leaderboard now.

 

[Dave^]

He he he... Dave^ hunts Dave...

Don't give up all too easily! I didn't put too much work into that lap since I do not like the setup and neither the sound of the car... So if you'll beat it, I won't be trying to steal back P1 all that soon...

I've still quite a way to go yet i think, it'll be a good few laps before i'm close.....

ah well, i'd best crack on before someone else beats me to it 👍

 

[AusBoyRacer]

I thought I put those times on the board, in the Sport Cars A & Supercars.

Anytime you feel is a good time I will put on the leaderboard. So don't worry.


Edit:

Edit: Bump for the Kei-car group!

Yes I would like to know people think of this idea.
And if you could get me a list of cars in GT4 that
would go in that class that would help alot too.
And the leaderboard is updated:tup:.

 

[Rusty*]

Hey Brian man......hows that replay comin along ey????💡
Gotta see that time!!

 

[•GT 4Ever•]

ANother time.. this was in my earlier post, but it's not on the leaderboard yet, so I'm just gonna post it here to get it noticed. This is actually a pretty good lap time.

6'00.315 - •GT4 Ever• - Bentley Speed 8 Race Car '03 - R3

 

[AusBoyRacer]

Hey Brian man......hows that replay comin along ey????💡
Gotta see that time!!

Yeh man, I've got it but I'm having trouble loading it onto youtube, its about 85mb. if you like, you could give me your email n I could send it via that? see if that works?

 

[Rusty*]

lol!!
85MB you say......well then.....
If its a Windows file type then it should work with Movie Maker.
If you use a PC running XP, then simply import it into Movie Maker, trim the file up so it is only the replay, do not trim the START OF REPLAY information.....as that proves that...yes you did or did not run the tyres you say you did.
Once its trimmed up...then just simply export it at a frame size of 320x240, hit EXPORT.
Really theres nothing to it.👍
The file should be much much smaller......a little loss in quality never killed anybody, so dont worry about that to much. As long as the whole replay is there ( no chopped out scenes throughout the replay) then you right.
Go to youtube or wherever you would like to upload it to and.........UPLOAD IT!!!

 

[AusBoyRacer]

Lol umm is there any way you can save the reply onto USB?? because otherwise ive got no way of transporting it to the pc, so Ive takin a video using my sony cybershot and put it onto the computer using that but I couldnt get the start bit showing the tyres because I've only got two hands.., but you can work out I used N2s by the speed im going through corners and accelleration/braking rates etc..

Would my file still work on movie maker?


OH and James, I'll get a list of all the Kei-cars for you, could take me a while though, pretty busy in the next few days/week.

Yeah, could you email it to me? I can think of it as a preview.

Ok, I have time so don't worry.

 

[Diego440]

Right, so I finally got a chance to do some hotlaps. The best part is that during the last day at the UKGTP7, Famine gave me back my memory card with ALL THE CARS in it... even some duplicates, including two Model Ts, all the F1s (different colours), and a whole bunch more.

Anyhoo, here's what I managed today:

7'53.951 - -Diego- - Audi Pikes Peak Quattro Concept '03 - S2

7'55.520 - -Diego- - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII GSR MR '04 - S2

7'59.944 - -Diego- - Lotus Motorsport Elise '99 - S2

8'07.922 - -Diego- - Honda S2000 '03 - S2

8'09.344 - -Diego- - Hyundai Clix '01 - S2

8'09.693 - -Diego- - Nissan Skyline 350GT-8 '02 - S2

8'21.588 - -Diego- - BMW 330i '05 - S2

9'09.882 - -Diego- - Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA '65 - S2

9'19.898 - -Diego- - Isuzu 117 Coupe '68 - S2

9'31.266 - -Diego- - Toyota Voltz '02 - S2

16'49.337 - -Diego- - Citroën 2CV '54 - S2 -- I thought this was a slow time

Until I did this one
17'52.091 - -Diego- - Subaru 360 '58 - S2

8'41.173 - -Diego- - Volkswagen Lupo Cup Car '00 - R3

but I couldnt get the start bit showing the tyres because I've only got two hands.

Oh.....ohh no....isn't that a shame....
"Because I only got two hands".....???
:idea:NO WAY!!! ME TOO!!
WTF MAN!!....Umm....I fail to see the relavance???....
Come on man....
Lets cut to the chase here, do you have the proof or what???
Hey!!! You know I just come up with a greatest idea, how about you just re-record the replay!!💡
Of course you would have saved it....right??
After all it was very quick lap....right???
And a clean lap....right????
You wouldv'e managed at least that much....right???
Oh I wonder whats its gonna be this time??
lol!!
TIME TO PUT ON YO RUBBER BOOTS, CAUSE HERE COME THE BULL****!!! ROFLMAO!!

 

[AusBoyRacer]

Ok guys, I've got the Cobra Video ready to be uploaded to youtube(many thanks to rusty for showiung me how to do it step by step because Im a noob when it comes to this stuff and thanks Dave fpr your help aswell), and am making one of my Suzuki Cappuccino under 10 mins wooo

 

[AusBoyRacer]

Sorry it is shocking quality, Im still a noob with it lol. You can see the time, just.

I can not email it to you James, because it is 30mb and it is already bad enough quality, and my email attachment limit is 10mb.

 

[AngelCreator]

Ok, could you post it on a site like filefront.com? Then I could download it from there.

Edit:
The leaderboard will be updated in just after this edit.

 

[Rusty*]

Yeah thanks Brian, hey I just wanted to see something....👍
For the readers of my last post....Myself and AusBoyRacer discust teh issue properly via PM and thats why the replay's up now..I just went by what I read as you could see for yourself. Also note that I am not a fan Bullshat talkers(thats why I put my post the way I did), not that he is[/B, He just needed a lill bit more help with Digi Cam files, which is pretty standard for most....and to explain himself a lill bit better would have helped thats all.....but its COOL now so...Digital Cam files can make life a lil harder...if you aint use to working with digital media and stuff to I guess. Well that concludes the deal then....
Basically I believe that a random ask for replays is the best way to go...keep everyone on there toes lol
Shame it doesnt have the begining of the replay to....but hey thats the way the cookie crumbled this time I guess.
Hey practice makes perfect right?
Anyway theres something for everyone to have a look at.
Oh and is anyone interrested in GT4 Challanges that DONT involve the Nuburgring?? Cause you know PD did include some 49 odd more tracks lol!!
Don't waste em!!
Head over here for a good little battle: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=94550
I am testing on Mediums for Citta di Aria....also using the black 92 as well...see how things go.👍
Oh and post please if you have to use tcs or asm, nos or anything else. Gotta know what you are really challanging right?
Have fun with the Challengers to guys!!

*Snip*

You know, you can get the same results without being so aggressive in your posts. My suggestion would be that you stop being such a hardass towards people at first, but rather ask for things in a calm, educated manner.

I saw your previous post last night and thought it was very aggressive, but didn't think much of it, since I hadn't seen any more posts by yourself. But this last post of yours is more of the same, so I would appreciate it if you change your ways a bit.
