WRS Drivers - Discuss your GT4 progress here!

[CFM]

I finally got over 25%, so it's off the the endurance hall the next opportunity I get. Too bad I have to work 12 hours shifts 6 out of the next 8 days.

I've been just unlocking cars like mad, and buying all the cars in the used lots that show up with 6.2 miles on them. I've got around 140 cars if I remember correctly. No B-spec used yet...I've started a second memory card to try that out and maybe make some cash to buy the black LM cars at day 693 or whatever.

 

[Small_Fryz]

[StrokerAce]

I see Tha Fryz is on a mission.

He'll be one of the guys to watch in the WRS when he gets faster.

But luckily i still have time to beat you during that transitional period when you get your DFP, eh Small_?

75 Golds is an impressive achievement.
I thought my 64 were worthy.
Guess i better get home and get on with it.

Its just i hate GT40's round Seattle. With a passion!!!
Bloddy Kazunori and his personal cars in the game......

 

[Small_Fryz]

you wait until the 350z around suzuka!! (S-12) thats what im currently up to. and even the S-8 is a handful, dont forget the viper around el capition (sp).

I thought id do some driving missions, in the space of about 60mins ive got up to 14, unfortanlty the superbird with ASM and TCS is very un natural and hard to drive. This ones gonna take a while.

 

[CFM]

All the S-licences are fun to gold...except S14. I am going to be having a rough time golding that one without touching the walls. I don't have the patience for it right now.

Nice progress there Fryz. Almost done...then you can try 'em all with the DFP and learn all over again.

 

[jasongedney]

Sorry, I haven't managed to get that far so I can't help. I'm sure you will suss it out soon because it looks like your doing well. 👍

IA-16 took me about 20 tries. AND, I always lost near the end, so the LONG straight I had to endure every time. I was like, oh, fast, again, yeah, booring!, then off the pavement, or too slow, or something stupid. It was way hard.

 

[Small_Fryz]

20 tries to gold?

BTW, any tips for driving mission 14?

It was more like a dozen, but only ended up with the silver. I actually got the silver before I got a bronze. Guess I got lucky.

 

[Tedehur]

IA-16 ? That's the Merc' (Mercedes, not Mercury) on Nürburgring ?
That seems to me an easy one. I bronzed it on my third attempt (3rd overall attempt, but first clean lap), while driving carefully, in 9'3x.xxx
I'm still busy with S-13 to S-16 which I still didn't bronze. Meanwhile I'm also trying to gold the easier ones (22 golds so far).

NO, IA-15 is the Nurburg with the Merc. IA-16 is the race car at SUPER high speeds with the right, then sharp right, and slight left turns. The series of turns suck!! U have to brake, then turn, then hit the gas. AND not lose too much speed ro spend too much time doing it.

 

[Tedehur]

That's right.
The looooooooong straight is not a problem, but the sharp rights (after straight and before finish line) are tricky ones : I'm usually not braking soon enough.
I bronzed this one on 10th attempt or so (3nd clean).
The second test at Circuit de la Sarthe is much more difficult, with both chicanes in the straight line.

IA-2? I don't remember that one specifically. I do HATE Cir de la Sarthe though. What was that race about?

The licence I mean is S-14 or S-15. One of the few I still haven't got.

 

[jasongedney]

I stopped afer getting the IA. I don't need the Super Lic yet (or the pain it will undoubtedly cause). I have been going back to the B and A lics to try for all gold. As I get better I will get more gold I am sure.

Same for me.
I first tried all licences 3 or 4 times (until I bronzed them actually), except S13 to S16 which I couldn't bronze in 3 or 4 attempts only.
Then I came back to B1 trying to silver/gold as many licences as possible.
I'm currently 22-8-46 and still busy with it (and I think I'll be busy for months )

I don't know how many more golds I need for the B, but have almost all at at least silver. Almost time for another prize car. I think I need 2 more silvers and 6 or 7 more to get all golds for the B lic. I haven;t put much tmie into it. I am working on the Japan GT Cup Right now. BAD ASS! I am scared to see what the ALl-Japan GT cup will be like...

 

[Small_Fryz]

well ive stopped the licenses for a little while, may run a few laps of the ring and do some driving missions.

IA - 15 i golded my 1st clean run.

S-12 is gonna take a bit of time, gold times is a near perfect lap.

 

[Sphinx]

well ive stopped the licenses for a little while.

That's a shame. I was trying to catch you up by using you as my pace maker Oh well, I still have some way to go before I can match you. 👍

13 golds left to go 👍

There will be a new registration race for the official WRS series, but since our moderator (Kent) has been online for the past 3 weeks, nothing is defined yet.
So I guess you can join the 'Unofficial' races posted by Famine without any registration process. That is, unless Famine says otherwise.

There's usually no registration process to enter other events such as the Championship in Jason's sig, of the Mini Maniacs in my sig...

Welcome to GTP Skyline_God, enjoy your stay.
👍

youve spured me on

after an hour ive just golded the hardest one yet S-12 (responsible for putting me off ) .

Hopefully i can knock over 13,14,15 in about 30min each, which leaves S-16

Mum and dad say ive been playing too much so i only have an hour left of PS2 time , So hopefully i can gold 13 and even 14 in that time .

If you need any tips just ask (though i dont think you will need any tips)

EDIT!!
PS2 time is over for now

but i did gold S - 13 and 10 more mins at S - 14 and that should be gold also.
S - 15 shouldnt be too hard either as ive run that course in a driving mission in a 1000+hp Minolta (which i passed). S - 16 is probably all about getting a clean run, im sure my 1st or 2nd clean run will be gold.

 

[Smallhorses]

I too managed gold on my 1st clean lap of the Nurburgring. 8'57-something
Here's a little hint for you (to save you watching the demo for 9 minutes!)
The Demo time is 8'50.000 which gives a 12.6s cushion under the gold time of 9'02.600
I wrote down the T Times from the demo lap so I'd know if I was still in touch with the demo lap, or way off the pace. That Merc handles very nicely considering its on the comfort tyres!
Here, for anyone else's benefit (if you want to gold IA-15) are the T Times from the demo lap.....
T1 59.716
T2 1'41.478
T3 2'16.272
T4 3'19.483
T5 4'07.564
T6 4'41.887
T7 5'44.008
T8 6'36.001
T9 7'02.250
T10 7'54.099
T11 8'21.670

Keep within 4 or 5s of most of these splits and you'll be golden (literally!)

Now I'm working on IA-16, the straight is just boring after a while, but getting the bends right is absolutely critical, and not wheelspinning is very tricky.

 

[Small_Fryz]

Yay!!

I got some more time on the PS2 and with in 30min i have golded S-14 and S-15 both about 1.5 - 2 seconds under gold.

Now its off to get my 80th, The sacred Nürburgring!!! (S-16)


EDIT!!

30mins later on my 2nd clean run i got 7:07.690 (Gold 7:07.700),

YAY!!! i got 80 gold, hardest test would be S-12.

i only just got gold on a few, but gold is gold. Now its off to do the driving missions.

 

[Sphinx]

you've spured me on

That was the idea

You certainly tore though those remaing golds, nice one 👍 I'm on 69 golds now, but I doubt I could finish off the remaining ones as quick as you managed to.

 

[Small_Fryz]

Yeah, i found none took me more than 30min except IA - 15 (40min) and S-12 (70min), most took 10 - 15min.

Now ive done 26 Driving missions, Im up the the 1 lap magics, they are fun! you dont have to be running gold pace but as long as your consistent its not too hard to win them.

 

[Small_Fryz]

Done all driving missions.

Id say they are as hard as getting silver on the S licenses.

If you know the course and car and can drive smooth and consistent, (and not hit walls or the stupid slow cars) then they are easy.

 

[Sphinx]

I managed to find some time today and now only have S-16 to contend with for 80 golds.

If I can get on the game tonight I'll finish it off, otherwise it will have to be tomoz.

 

[Smallhorses]

Finished IA Licence gold this morning before work.
Got in late from work tonight and am going to have a quick 1/2hr before bed to see what the S-licence tests are like.

WOW! They're not as bad as I expected! S-1 took a while since I had to learn the track, but S-2 is golded, and almost a full second under gold time on only the 3rd lap! Thought it'd take me ages after 1st attempt while trying to get a feel for the car, I ran well wide on lots of the bends, & finished at only just under the bronze time! 2nd lap I finished was 8.7s ahead of that ghost and only 0.2s off gold! 3rd lap and I beat the 2nd lap ghost by 1.031s!

I'll see what the rest of them have in store tomorrow!
