We are all dead.

I've fallen into the Grand Canyon countless times. I've also run over spectators in the Rally D'Umbria.
 
Hong Kong is pretty lethal. and paris night tracks are certainly killers. chasing Group B cars in small city track with 90' turns and even tighter turns is pretty frustrating. le sarthe is notorious killer. Nurb is more like old friend, you know where it tries to stab oyu in the back. Suzuka has few tight places too.
 
Well, I've died plenty of times at the Nurburgring and Le Sarthe, and also at the Test Course hitting the wall or spinning at stupidmph. I've probably seriously injured myself and the car at every other circuit in the game as well though, that pit entry at Infineon is just evil....

Until this weekend. Saturday I bought Tourist Trophy.

In the last 2 days I have probably killed myself more, and in more spectacular ways, than in the whole time I've been playing GT4. Never let me near a bike in real life :lol:
 
The Nurburgring Nordschlief- easily.

Dangerous, speed kills, and it is a fast track with every change I can think of in road racing. Also, The city course. Damn those buildings.
 
I've probably died a couple of times on Clubman Stage Route 5, the last turn I always take a bit too fast and slam the wall, thus [in real life] dending me over the overpass and onto the streets below. :)

How not to take the Flugplatz. Basically, I had a 1000 horse Zonda road machine and I decided to see what it could do at the Nür. Well, I cleared the Flugplatz at around 180 mph and rudely found that the Zonda has no downforce to it at all. The car left the track and never touched tarmac again. I hit the red barrier in the grass and went from 180-0 in less than a second.

Ouch. Attempting a dicey menauvre led to a 240 mph hit into the outside wall of the Test Course. Came back to win it, though. ;)

Wow. You the XJR-12 race car (or w/e it was called)?
 
i put N2 tyres on a BMW 2002Turbo for testing thinking it do laps of the nordschleife. Nope. the thing is a bronco berserker, completely unexpected. could not get it around without aids from later decades. complete snap oversteer & very strange traction definitely had me hospitilized for that session at least.

also, alcoholic intoxication can lead to absurdly deadly impacts that just require dragging the poor vehicle into more mash up
 
I've 'killed' myself once. I was at the Test Course with my Nissan R89C, I was turning left at the second corner, and then suddenly turned right into the wall (rookie mistake :dunce: ) I flew into the air, then came to a halt at the center of that turn.
 
theres nothing better than catching full car air at max speed at the test track in one of the formula cars...its cool when you just see sky then watch the replay and see what happend.
 
Heh, I was testing my Buick Special to get it to 300mph and that car can't take corners high speed. I slammed into the rail, and I swear I went 20m high and kept going in the air for 3 seconds and landed, and did a 360 8 times.
 
I just got done drivng the 'ring in my TVR 350C, I turned the car into powder but taking a wide right hander too wide. :scared:. The right rear tire caught the grass and spun me around, AT 140 MPH! I wasn't happy about that but it was kinda funny watching a car hit the armco like a pinball. :lol:
 
without a doubt, the most dangerous tracks are street circuts. If you wand to crash, Get a high powered car and get creative
 
Spin out at Antoniusbuche at over 230 mph. Yes I think I'd have been dead after that one.



I think the Nurburgring is easily the most dangerous track, especially at the high speed sections around Antoniusbuche and most the way up to Adenauer Forst, among others.

Rather crash there then going off in Mulsanne at 460 km/h :crazy:
 
Grand canyon gives me lots of trouble, I can't get around the track well at all.

The ring I don't die on often because I am overly cautious(when not doing races I only drive on economy tires)

Anything with a really long brake zone is what gets me. Going from 200+ straights to <50 I never get the distances right on tracks that are new to gt4.

I once spun a bentley speed 8 at almost 300MPH & it spun about 50 times 360 without me touching the controller!!
way back in gt2 I somehow did a perfect 200mph 360 on the test track in an elise gt1, never touched a wall.

lol, I did that in need for speed most wanted
 
I don't think I would have ever gotten killed in GT4, but I would have wrecked a few cars, possibly banned from a few race tracks, and probably been in need of a new racing suit.
 
Not to say that the physics in GT4 are good, because they are ok. But IF they were better and allowed your car to go airborn, and flip and everything a car SHOULD do, then I think The Nurburgring would be VERY dangerous. There are almost if not ANY fences higher than the metal walls, and if you were to touch tires in a Polyphony FGT car, you could fly up and over the walls and into the trees...now THAT would be deadly. But the most deadliest thing that has ever happend to me was when I was doing a practice run on Apricot Hill in a Polyphony FGT and I ran right into the pit wall with my right tire, had it been real it would have taken the suspention out and it also would have drove itself into my cockpit as my car was a bit sidways too.

like whoa S******!!!
 
Nurburgring, the slow right hander after the very very high speed section early in the lap, about 1 minute or so. Oversteered slightly and got on the grass, had no brakes, hit the barrier at 150 mph or more. My A-spec driver died of the resulting injuries.
 
Yeah, I know that feeling! sometimes I feel a little lax and I forget 140+ and deep green German grass don't mix very well. I have gotten to the point that when I'm about to spin out I instictively throw the car into reverse, pop the E-brake, jerk the wheel, do a 720 spin down the straight at 130+ ,and nail the Aremberkurve perfectly! :D
 
I've killed myself a couple of times at the Umbria Rally Reverse using fully modified LMP cars. I crashed on those walls that pop out slightly going down the hill right after the start/finish line. I'm not sure what the exact speeds, though.

Seattle, going up the hill. Sometimes u forget to brake and well...a picture is worth a thousand words.


unless it was a solo run (practice, time trial) or you were in a BIG lead in a race, did this have a major affect on your position???? I mean wow, it looks like you were at full speed!! lol dam.
 
I was in the professional supercar festival, race 4, spun out right after I won control, 3rd lap I hit the bump, brake, and spin out and smash into the wall at about 150. I decide (meh, I'm still in 2nd place) and keep going at it....end of the 5th lap, whats this? the lead car has completely wiped out, and is on the right of the road, I zoom by him, finish the last lap .6 ahead and take the win.
 
at one poin my friend and I did a two player race on the proving grounds track (i.e. the enormous high speed oval) and did a purposefull head on collision with our highly tuned vipers
his was the srt-10, mine was the team orca
i'm pretty sure we were both going about 270-280 mph
we both kinda flew straight up in the air at opposing angles and then whent into spins
not as exciting as it would be in real life

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that, in real life, it would be quite a Kodak moment.:sly:

:lol: do those cars even fit on the road? Now that's what I call bravery. :scared:

On the plus side, you're not as dismembered as you would be in real life.
