Which is your most hated race/championship in GT3?

[Victor Vance]

I found Italian Avant Garde perticularly fun, I just ran each and every race on T2s and kept within the pace of the R's. Then when they pitted it was in the bag

Least favorite is Vitz Pro

Watch your language, son. You've been around way long enough to know better than this.

Hey duke was it you who (accidently) made up the the "Test Curse" moniker?

 

[heero 12]

I don't see why everyone hates the test course so much, go do 100 laps of complex string and decide for yourself what's more boring. I've done 22 and a half laps around the test course in a 145 HP Mini Cooper, if that's not love it's insanity, and most people agree that both are the same.

No, I didn't. And as far as I know, it was made up on purpose, though I'm not sure by whom.

 

[urdvurk]

...and most people agree that both are the same.

How can holding down one button for half an hour be the same as actually having to do something? Besides, 100 laps of any circuit will start to get boring. I can only shudder at the thought of having to do 100 laps on the Test Course.

Anyway, whoever came up with the idea that doing 15 laps of the Test Course would be anything else than utterly boring and a complete nuisance?

So in short: the Test Course races (not the circuit itself mind you, that has its uses) get my vote.

 

[Klonie Gun]

Sorry, duke. It was just that I got really frustrated finishing the MX5 endurance and the Italian Avant Garde.

 

[Polyphony001]

MX5 enduro was really easy man!!!! The Italian avantgarde maybe takes a little more skill, because its at higher speed.

 

[Victor Vance]

Italian AG is easy with T2's.

Oh yeah, technique helps

 

[Polyphony001]

Shame, I loved the laughing smiley on GTP5. I wonder if it stll works

EDIT: yay it does.

 

[GameBoyFX]

Hmm, i should try t2's some time, i always use T1's...

 

[Jugend]

Italian Avantgarde pro at rome.. Dunno why but it was more boring then like the wind..

 

[Smallhorses]

Like the wind is the worst race in GT3, why on earth do you need S-licence to go round a 6.5 mile oval 20 times! Still, it give us a use for things like Suzuki Escudo that are otherwise horrible to drive! Pretty much anything on test course is a nightmare due to the boredom levels, unless you've got really well matched cars, in which case drafting can be fun, especially to pop out of someone's slipstream to pip them to the winning post by a couple of 1000ths of a second!

Favorites are Formula GT, on my current game save I've done it completely in 4 out of the 6 F1 cars. Polophony Digital Cup especially in something that makes it really competitive, e.g. S2000 V-Spec or 300ZX 2by2.
Also, you've got to love winning Rome Endurance in a Mini Cooper! (No Hybrids as I don't own a gameshark, or believe in cheating for that matter!) Just have to make sure the Clio V6 and Griffith aren't present as it can't keep up with them!
Anyone else tried this? I'll post settings and modifications if anyone wants to try it out. I've done it numerous times trying to win the Delta Rally car. (I'm also a great believer in not buying anything that you can win instead! But then, I'm just strange like that !!!)

 

[Polyphony001]

How the Italian AG can be more boring than Like the wind really goes over my head. But What are T1s? Sport tyres? Simulation tyres? I mostly use T2s if i can, because they last absolutely ages!!

 

[truenodrifter]

Polophony, I guess it could be my GT3 experience that allowed me to beat the vitz race. But if you put in the time and the effort, I think even a newb could beat it. It is actaully a very fun race as someone else stated, but I also hate the test course race... the only use for the test course is TESTing your car, so why should you have to race it. Oh well, maybe they will atleast shorten it like in GT2 it was like half the length.

T1s are Sports Tyres. T0s are Simulation Tyres.

 

[Polyphony001]

OK cheers Famine.

I don;t think they should shorten the test course itself. Use the short one for racing on, but the long one for testing. Even lengthen it, because it still isn't a measure of your car's true top speed.

that vitz race in cote de azur

 

[Polyphony001]

that vitz race in cote de azur

Why specifically cote d'azur??

 

[DarkAzN]

I actually like all the tracks in the game

 

[TsukasA1o7]

Why specifically cote d'azur??

vitz is already slow to begin with. But racing it on cote de azur is too much. lol with all those sharp turns. Lotsa braking + slow acceleration = wayyy too boring

We get the idea. Perhaps you didn't need quite so many Hs. We all hate endurances. And plus, there's no exclamation mark on your long word. So essentially that spells a very long sigh, rather than a long yell.

 

[TsukasA1o7]

yeah the endurance races really stink. I did 30 laps and i fell asleep =(

This is why GTPlanet has an excellent Private Messaging system. Please use it in the future.

Thanks. Also, here's a gentle reminder of certain rules:

* No slang words that promote laziness, ie; "r", "u", "plz", etc.

* Half decent grammar is expected. Use of capital letters starting sentences is looked upon favorably. Spelling half decently is also encouraged.

* Off topic posts shall be allowed in designated forums (The Rumble Strip), but it shall be to the moderator's discretion when and why to move a message from one forum to the other.

We all hate endurances.

I love 'em.

Endurance. *BREATH* AHHHHH... *BREATH*

Don't so that again, please.

And, by the way, what's so horrificly annoying about Enduros? The only trouble I have is finding an opportunity to run them. If I had more free time, I'd love to see a GT game where no single race was less than 30 minutes long.
