CONCEPTCARZRCL, welcome to GTPlanet, but please don't double post. There is an edit button. đź‘Ť

The Mazda RX-7 Spirit R or the EG6 Civic are still my favorites!
 
Thats a pretty nice time, what tire and hp did you have. Oh I almost forgot to mention that the 787B and the rest of the cars around that time weren't LMP but Group C cars.

They were called group C's back then I did not know that I must look like a fool now:( They are basically the same class when it comes to performance though. Well anyway the tires I used were RSS and I had 903hp, this time was just a little slower than my GT-One.
 
I just got the Nissan Skyline Concept car and i have to say i am impressed. Runs 7.8 in the 1/4 with ease and the gear shifting is extra quick. Also has 7 speeds and the weight of a r34. You loose the quickness of the shifts if you get a race trans tho.
 
The CLK Touring car must be the best DTM Racer out there. Simply the best đź‘Ť

werd. This is the car I use to pull in the $$$ with the German Touring events for the AMG CLK race car :)

It's one of the easier to cars to drive fast even with 650+ hp. Some cars I need 20-30 minutes of tuning before I get the settings right but the CLK Touring car was fast out of the box with minimal adjustments. It does great for the endurance races, also.

Exactly. It's...um..."forgiving". You can actually enjoy driving this car, unlike some others. Sweet sound, nice handling, easy-to-drive.
 
I am usually opposed to singling out one specific favorite above all others, but I do have a group of favorites.

I drive a totally stock equipped GT Legacy wagon a lot because I have one in my own garage. The plan is to keep the GT4 car exactly the same as my real car, even the mileage :) oh, and see how far my own car can progress through the game.

Also the WRX STi Rally Car Prototype is my favorite rally car, and I have much better lap times with it than even the RSC Rally Raid car.

Camaro LM race car is very well balanced, and handles better than most. This is a very under-rated car imo. Camaro LM & Seattle... mmm.

Of course the Formula One owns everything where top end is not a factor. Too bad I hate Tokyo Cote de Azur so much that I don't run those tracks for 'fun'.

I love my Skyline R34 VSpec II Nurburgring, although it's a bit unstable over 250mph :scared:

The closest to overall pick? Well, I think if I was offered to own one single car out of all the GT4 cars I have, probably the Jaguar XJ220 in Madeira Metallic would win that one.

No worries buddy. You said Sarthe with the chicanes?
 
I think I have to practice more. My fastest is a 3.03.xxx and I have a time in GT3 at Laguna Seca with the F/094S of 0.59.251.

There were different rules governing the group C and the LMP cars, of which engine size and power were different, that is probably why DRLgian made the distinction. They really aren't exactly, or even basically in the same class when it comes to performance. The group C cars were monsters compared to the LMP's, in my opinion. I'm no expert, but I think perhaps fuel/tire consumption and ultimate top speeds may have been somewhat of a concern with the group C's and the LMP's may have had sanctioning rules to limit a lot of the "excess" with the group C cars.

But like I said, I'm definitely no expert on the subject matter, but I did read a little bit on "Wikipedia":sly: .

"Unlike the LMP cars, Group C cars were less heavily regulated: aerodynamic and engine development were virtually unlimited. Group C cars are still faster than even the most advanced LMP cars"--from the website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Mans_Prototype
 
^ I read that somewhere within this forum as well. Group C was basically, a heaven for race cars. Now we have more regulations for LMP01 and LMP02 which restricts the potential.

I see thank Kris and GT4_Rule for the info I finlly understand this now:D I think I mainly got confused because the looked the same.:embarrassed:
 
I like the DTM cars, but I tend to go for the older ones (the great-looking Alpha or the older Merc) when I try it out. All these cars give a great mix of speed and control, and at least some of the races are a challenge with the older Merc.

I also love the Ginetta. And the Lotus (another great racing series that one). The Tommy is another really nice car as well. And I'll also add the 1980's Renault 5 rally car, which gets the nod over the other rally cars for it's looks.

I would like to like the top end fast cars but I just can't handle them. The GT-One is particularly good looking.
 
I have to admit, that the Mazda 787B has really grown on me. Stock it is a formidible machine, and even though it was a mess when I turboed it, after some suspension work, it has godlike grip. It also has good novelity value, with how it has that big antenna with the little flag, the windshield wiper that flaps around, or how it has two different wheels.
 
1970 Chevelle, all the upgrades but stock exhaust to keep the sound, i did the same on my Shelby GT350R which sounds better but looks worse in my opinion. i also love the '63 Corvette race car, good fun :)
 
My best car would be the sauber mercedes.
For me it´s just the best car in the entire game.

My favorite car is the toyota altezza touring car.
It look great , it´s a touring car , and takes corners like a dream.
 
Dang, I want the Sauber SOOOOOOOO Bad, i've wanted it since I got the game 2 years ago :lol: Don't you have to beat the F1 Championship to get that? I'm too lazy to do it :lol: I guess my favorite car would have to be either my Shelby Cobra 427, Saleen S7, or my TVR Griffith 500. Here's my Saleen, and my Cobra:

look in the game guides section of this site to see where to get the Sauber, i cant remember where i got it but its one hell of a ride
 
Yes , you will get it if you win the formula gt cup.
It´s realy easy to win.
Too bad you can only cet in 1 colour , otherwise i would play it every day

To stay ontopic :
The formula gran turismo is also one of my beast cars ( i even have 5 of them at This moment , and i´m only playing the game for three weeks now :) )
 
How is the F1 championship really easy to win?! You're racing all F1 cars and I beat one race...barely. And each race takes about 30 mins even on B-spec doing 3x fast and there's 15 races.
 
as long as you have over 7000 b-spec points , you should have no problems ( to make it extra easy , there was a thread with some setting just for these races )
