Chaparral 2J Race car 1120hp it blitz's everything

and you can use it in the classic car race in USA and the pro leagues as well

me too. my be in for the next comp if it goes for a while?
i'll have to learn how to drive again been driving in SAN ANDREAS, just got the credits to roll at around 72% woo hoo

[M&Ms]

Can I make a suggestion for the next challenge:
We can make the next challenge a licence test (a full lap run), that way no one can be accused of using a modded car, cutting corners, or leaning against the guard rail.

Anyone can do a mid 7 minute pass if you just use the walls, which has always been the way for these sort of competitions.

Not going to bother posting times as there's no skill involved, except for keeping the vehicle roughly in the right direction and your finger on X.

For those doing true lap times around the low 8s high 7s, well done.

It's a good game, great amount of diversity in it.

theres a few tracks where bouncing off the walls wont help, cant see any oppurtunity for it on suzuka

[fordel]

i am happy with my 8'24 and thats without hitting the walls

the next drag comp starting on april 1 you wont be able to bounce

Chris

[sbutler]

So has my young fella won the hat?? or has someone beat his time??

[fordel]

Well the competition isnt over yet, so no he hasnt won it yet

Chris

[fordel]

Is anyone still interested in having a drag comp ?

At least that will prevent cheating, bit hard to do anything down 1/4 mile, bouncing off walls will only produce a lower time

Chris

[clampy]

hopped in F6 for first time.. did two laps.. best was 8:17.228. since theres times heaps better i cant be bothered provin it..

that was with coming off the track twice.. once for a shortcut(you know that corner that is a sharp left curve which curves right?), and the other time on a corner that catches me out everytime.. a right hand bend which falls away from the corner and has bricks on the edge.. everytime i slide right out. oh yeh i used the wall slightly at one of the carousels.

meh.. its a stupid comp anyway.. *walks away in shame*
^ for those that may take me seriously here, im pretending to sulk

[The MaDDeSTMaN]

I've only done one lap so far, and that was an 8:36, which wasn't too bad I thought considering I had never raced around that track before and I was still getting used to how different GT4 is to GT3.

I'll have a proper go at it later today, or maybe tomorrow...

STOP THE COMPETITION

I've found a way to rort the game. For some reason, when in Gran Turismo mode, if you go into World Circuits, it doesn't recognise the modifications on your car, and lists it as stock.

I took my worked Typhoon (500+kw, drivetrain and suspension mods, weight reduction, racing medium tyres) into World Circuits and onto Nurburgring, did a 7:03:800, but it spat out that the Typhoon was completely stock.

Explain that one to me, this competition, and I know that some have competed in it properly, has been unfair from the start.

[fordel]

well if this is the case then yes we will have to stop this and not give out any prizes

do you have a screen shot to show this time so we can compare it to the other pics that show time trial etc on them ?

this would be great if you do !

Chris

[TheSneakiness]

I can get a pic, it'll have to wait til my digi cam gets back from UnZud.

[fordel]

cheers that would be a great help

Chris

[BA GT-HO]

Well well well.. Thanks for discovering that mate!

I knew something was wrong.

[fordel]

yes most definately!

think the final results might be held until this pic

um, you can already do it in time trial mode... i.e. crank power upto 360kW and reduce weight to 1500kg or something, do a run, then change the car back to stock and then take a pic of your lap time etc... I think i mentioned this earlier and posted an example aswell, LOL.

[fordel]

Well i have made the decision that as a way of cheating undetectably has been found and as such the competition would not be fair it has come time to close the comp and no prize will be awarded due to this.

As i have just whacked a time up that is 33 secs faster then the best lap that has been posted this has proven to be quite sad that it has come to this

The prize if agreed to my MR_SIDO seen as he is generously giving the prize out, should then be awarded to the winner of the upcoming drag comp... if people are still interested.

Chris

[Donut Queen]

I think that's a geat idea Fordel and very fair. Good luck to everyone in the drag comp.

[M&Ms]

Just curious Fordel, are we gonna start a new thread with the new comp or are we gonna add it on to this one?

[BA GT-HO]

Drag comp will be fun! Bring it on!

[clampy]

ok so whens this drag comp? 'phoon over 400m?

new thread!

This is the thing though, you don't need to change the specs on it. You just go in and out, don't touch anything and it will spit out that it's stock.

Save the prize for the drag comp. One suggestion though, no NOS runs, please.

[MR_SIDO]

OK people, the Drag Strip Comp will decide who wins this hat, I agree that the time trial mode had its flaws, Any way yes a NEW thread will be started for the drag strip Comp, this one is a little busy, Details of the drag strip comp will be released Friday April 1st, in a new thread. There will definatly be NO way of cheating in the drag comp.

[Timmeh]

No NOS runs <-- something else you won't be able to police, surely.

Look forward to it MR SIDO.

Timmeh

[AuFairlaneV8]

AUII_XLS if your doing it in gt mode it will show a different screen than in arcade mode, so that cheat wont really work, but cranking the power in arcade mode then moving it back to take the pic cant be policed

[needfordspeed]

Yeah make it so we can do anything we want, cheating sucks i'm ****ed off that this competition went downhill, I enjoyed it at the start, but after I saw people pulling EXTREMLY fast times I just gave up and had no interest anymore.

And yes we need a new thread :P
