Tsukuba -WET

[Zaine2]

I have been having trouble with the tsukkuba wet rally (hard), mainly because i always seem to be up against c-class cars like the R8 or gt1 or something.

I am writting this thread as a request for help on this track to see if i can get a better (worse ) opponent, and how is the best way to win it. I.e what tactics should i use and what car should i use?

This thread will also be useful to other people who are having the same trouble as me on this track.

Thankyou and please discuss....

Sounds easy to me....this shouldn't be a problem if you are using one of em' C class car.I did go against a Bentley Speed 8 with my Pagani Zonda.Not that easy but it was.The trick is to overtake the car and block it on the run to the turns.

Well there have been other threads like this, but it was buried too deep to find easily, so I can't blame ya.

Here you go.

A Subaru Rally Car can win this, so it isn't that hard.

thanks cng - i searched but i couldn't find anything - this should be a lot of help,👍

according to that thread super soft tires is the key. And you can either use good 4wd cars or lmp cars........

Exactly, this isn't a high speed course, and GRIP is the key to winning here, not only HP. If I can beat a SLR McLaren on this track, with my 240HP Toyota MR2 S/C with RM tires, then HP is not most important here, that is why it is good to use a Rally Car or any car with exceptional grip, not including a Subaru 360 or anything. Watch, use a fully tuned TVR Speed 12, and compare to a Subaru Impreza fully tuned.

I always had a lot of success winning this race in a fully tuned Suzuki GSX-R4. Easy 10 second win if u have no offs.....+200 a-spec points!

as redgodzila said, it is extremely easy to win using the suzuki. The only way you can pass the c class cars are in the turns. Remember to use super soft tires though

i have completed the race now - i used the chaperal and got 200 points - someone in the post that you linked said to use it.

really easy - ty cng 👍

Please try to post requests in the correct place!
This is the race reports forum, where we like to see a detailled description of a race or car comparison.
Requests belong on the main GT4 board, or in the GT4 General discussion thread.

Please move this over there as you'll find it gets more attention.
Not sure how to do this, read & learn......

At the top right corner of your orignal post in the red bar, you'll see something that says "Thread Tools"
Use the drop down menu to select "Move Thread"
On the next screen use the dropdown to select "Gran Turismo 4" as the place to move the thread to.
Click OK.
Et voila, you've just moved your thread to the right place, and learned something at the same time!

Have a read of this too, it's the stickied thread from the top of the race reports forum which tells you what to post in this forum!

Since you've already completed your race, I won't bother suggesting that you try using the Pagani Zonda LM Race Car '01 for an easy 200 point win against the Mazda 787B. Oh bugger. I just did.

yer but if i got the information i was gonna make it into a race report and on the other thread it does type of anyway: but just to please i'll do a race report

Ok so i started off in a Toyato 88VC Minolta and got blown away. I wasn't used to going at this speed on a wet surface. I tried in several other cars, such as subaru, the XJR9 etc. All went to pot. I was just 🤬

So i resulted to a type of cheating - gtp
I made this thread. Then CNG found me another thread which was buried deep which i couldn't find after searching. I took the peoples advice and thought i'll go for a 200 pointer


The Race:
I used the chaper 2J, it's a really old car but can easily keep up witht he big class c boys and even beat them. I already had this car for an american event so all i did was take the turbo off and put on so expensive soft tires.

I was up against the Audi R8
I was dreading it because every time i have vs him before on this track he won by quite a margin.

On the first corner, the R8 went a bit wide, i broke early meaning that i had a better line around the corner. My softer tires gave me better acceleration and i was up his chuff at the second hairpin before dunlop. i dedided i really needed to win this so i rammed him. This may have not been such a good idea because i didn't gain anytime we both type of went in the rough and he managed to get infront somehow anyway.

Past dunlop i couldn't find the place to overtake and whilst zig zagging around i broke a bit late meaning i had a bad line through the hairpin.
But my soft tires prevaled and i blasted past him on the straight. From there on all i had to do was make sure i broke earlier and turned sharp so i didn't go wide on te slippery surface.

By the 4th lap i was way infont because of my cautious type of driving. The R8 just took the corners to wide. It was comming up to the end of the 4th lap and i thought i'm gonna win this by a big margin - lets really push the car - bad idea on the last corner i went spinning of into the sand spinning several times. I thought 🤬!

Thanfully i had already made a big neough margin so the R8 was no where near to overtaking me.

I drove carefully for the final lap and in the end won by about 15secs.

This race was actually really easy. The soft tires help alot! i think this was probally the key to the race.

I won the car and went WTF the prize is crp - aww man i bought that car when i was on like 10%!!! Then i thought ahh well only one more rally event to go - ice arena in hard


(brief summary of how to win:
Just use a lm, lmp, c - clas car or even a 4wd drive car done up to the max and use soft or super soft tires. Make sure you brake early and have fun - some people have even used a dodge Ram and got 200points )

I still find it funny that to win in the WET races you have to use Super Soft Racing Slicks...they wouldn't be my first choice if I were to take a 600+ HP race car out on a rainy day!

 

[subyluvr2212]

Uh-oh, n00b bumping old threads!

Well, it's not that old I guess.

Anyway, I can beat the Medium Tsukuba Wet (against a Saleen S7) with the 87 Mugen Civic Hatch race car on RSS's. I've done it twice actually (200 A-spec points ). So yeah, it can be done. It's like the others have said, this is a GRIP race, not a high-speed one. So choose your car and tires carefully, and you'll be good.
