Shit! You guys are going to finish the game before I get started - the dratted project I am on is killing all my time. The only silver lining is I could learn the tricks from you guys :)

finally got to play for 8 straight hours last night.... i just couldnt stop.. hands started to cramp up and i still couldnt let go of the controller.. i am addicted.
handling is still a little off from reality.... really thinkin bout gettin the force pro wheel to see if that makes it better..
driving on the 'Ring is absolutely crazy! I never thought it was that narrow in real life.... so far my best time is a lousy 10:20 in a 233HP NA MR2 G-Limited.. i wasnt aware of the 'Historic showroom' and bought my first car from the used lot... doh
edit:
anyone else annoyed how long you have to wait just to change your oil?! i mean.. COME ON!

I got it finally!! :D
Time to play now!
I get the feeling we're finally seeing a slowing to the post count folks :lol:
What is everyones times on the NS with what car?
I ran a 9:08 with a 401HP '92 300ZX (first time on the 'Ring in any game :D )
Still not tried myself at the ring.. I just completed B license, aiming at silver licence at list.. and well, silvers are pretty easy actually, but golds are indeed harder than I remember: either harder than in GT3 either I am growing worse at such games with the age :D
Anyway I got B license with 5 golds and all the rest silvers. Still not sure if the medal in the coffe break counts.. (silver anyway)

One thing that I find to be both annoying and cool... I'm not using all my money to upgrade my cars because I'm saving most of it to buy cars from the used car lots. Which means that most of my cars have minor mods (chip, flywheel, stage 1 lightening), so the races can be fairly competitive.
Also, I really like the Mazda RX-8. The suspension is really nice. The suspension on the Evo MR blows. So much nosedive when you hit the brakes!

No, coffee break didn't count....I have bronce and they still give me the silver medal bonus car. (if it were to count, I will be in deep trouble)

Great article dutchmaster :D 30,000+ images to recreate the Nurburgring :shock: Fuck me, that's alot of patience and work. I don't think i could have mapped out every 15MM the way the were talking about :shock:

Do you have to clear both A-spec and B-spec in order to complete, let's say Beginner Hall? I won all of the A-spec races but don't remember getting a prize car. :?
Edit: Pimp Racer, you can't race the Caterham. I just tried it. :(
Yup I know you cant. :D
Before I even get into the races I'm completing all of my licenses. I have only 1 test left to have them all.
I have to complete the Nurbergring in the AMG Merc in about 7 min 30 sec. for my final super license test.
Has anyone done this yet? How many attempts did it take you? Tough test? :?: :?:
I did my IA liscense last nite and on my first try I was doing VERY VERY VERY good and so I decided to push my limits and kinda spun out and you know the rest....:( 8 minutes gone just like that! BTW I kept on drifting my car! :lol: It was kinda scary and thrilling!
This game is worth the 50 bucks just for having the ring!
BTW TT coffe breaks dont count.
dutchmasterflex looking at the article! Thanks alot man!

I don't know about platform sharing, but definitely engine sharing....the almost the entire NA line up has the 3.5L VQ Engine. I suppose it's not a bad thing, the engine is smooth and powerful.

The basic idea was cute, but hell, I'd rather go out and take real pics or, if I need to be stuck in front of my TV, at least I will race or whatever, but after the first 2 pics I already "dumped" the photomode and I doubt I will use it that much :bah: wasted time for the programmers as already pointed out...

Quite a number of TVRs and Lotuses popping up in the used cars now and again. Only thing I've bought so far is a used Civic so I could put a wing and nitrous on it (j/k about the wing and nitrous, but I like my type R's hehe)

Yup its a glitch passed down from the Japanesse version of the game. Dont worry about it though. It appears for like 2 or 3 seconds in the beginnning of the game and then it goes away! :D

No - the quesiton is, why would I post something in a GT4 thread, that doesn't woirk with GT4...?
Uhm - some of us do actually think and use common sense in our daily lives... I happen to be one of them. Perhaps when I was an inconsiderate youth I may have done completely brainless acts like suggest a piece of equipment as a solution that was completely unrelated to the requiremnts of the problem at hand...
.... but I didn't.
:roll:
So - to answer your quesiton, Of course is it GT4 compatible - I would not have suggested it if it wasn't.
If I sound irriated - I am, because one of the few things that does irritate me, is when people don't think... and to ask if something suggested in a GT4 thread, is GT4 compatible, when the poster is actively using GT4 is rather absurd.
It's akin to asking your mother if it is ok to breath in after the last time you exhale... if you need to be asking then you shouldn't be breathing in the first place.. :)

To take pictures from a replay you must first race and then SAVE the replay and then go to the theater hall or something and then load the replay and press seclect to pause the camera and then you can zoom in and move camera and all the other good stuff! :D

it seem a lot fuckin harder to drift in GT4 than in GT3.. anyone else notice this
It is, and cars tends to snap back at you with some massive tailfish too, but afterall it is not easy to control a long drift in real life. And it is even harder if, like me, you play with the regular controller and not with a good wheel

Yep, the photo mode is almost useless. I am still shocked that they took the time to add like 20 different camera sounds when that time/space could have went towards something more beneficial to gameplay. Using the photo feature during a saved replay makes a little more sense because you can capture an action shot or spectacular moment during the race, but that is it.

This is the downside of taking 4 years to write software in this day and age.
At the time, they did not consider that real life digicams would become so cheap that ordinary folks like us could go take 1,000 pictures a month and not spend money on film.
They built this "feature" in to the game at a time when the idea of posing cars for quxlity digital images was still a novelty.
The truth is that with a prototype photo and Photoshop skillz you can outdo the GT4 photo mode easily.
This is why they should not have delayed so many times - because they set the expectation that all the game features would be prefected - and that eyecandy bonus would be just that, a bonus over the perfect game.
Sadly this we now know is not true.
And yes, the photo option in the replay mode is way better. But they even failed with this - where is the frame by frame forward /reverse support so you can grab exactly the frame you want.
When I took this picture, it took longer to hit the pause/play till I stopped on a back-fire flame image with a flame, than the entire picture setup and saving to USB took.

While we (at least I am) are on a roll with complaints about features options that after 4 years should have been included in the game:
If they are going to allow "track day secnarios" as they do with the free running option... why the hell not let me choose my own 5 opponents.
What is the point of having 500+ cars and releasing the game to a huge gear-head community - and NOT give the ability to pit any car against any other car
That in my mind would have been worth far more than the "Photo Mode" crap.
Yes, I want to go up against an M5, an M3 CSL, a Lotus Exige, an NSX and an R34 around Laguna Seca.
They wanted to make it realistic: on a real track day it is not up to you to choose the other cars on track :P
Ok, I spent the last 30 minutes looking around the net for some informations about the infamous black cars, like their price for instance and the day in wich you can find them..
with no luck.. and I am bored to check the used cars dealerships constantly just in case :D (although I have just the initial 110'000 credits anyway)
They wanted to make it realistic: on a real track day it is not up to you to choose the other cars on track :P
Nah - that's a bogus excuse.
Just being able to host Best Motoring or Topgear style shootouts, and have more creative opponent mixes is quite realistic - afterall, if happens everyday in "real life". :)
And int heir puruit for realism, how come the opponents are not hindered by tyre wear? :)

I love the one lap of magic scenarios although the subaru and corvette ones are still beyond me. I'm up to about 10 complete.

Question: has anyone hooked up a PS2 to a PC monitor / speakers? The reason I ask is that I want to buy the 900 degree wheel but dont have a place to anchor the steering wheel in my living room where my PS2 is currently located.
However I have nice spot where my PC is situated where I can anchor the wheel. Thus it would be cool to use my monitor for the PS2 as well
TransAm
02-26-2005, 11:25 PM
Sam you will need the following:
PS2 component cables, YUV to RGB converter, and a D sub 15pin (VGA plug) so you can plug the signal into your monitor.
Basically, probably not worth the trouble?
OR goto Gtplanet.net and one of the threads is called 'cheapo cockpits' . It's liek 20pages all about mounting the Driving Force. Some ppl have really gone to town using old cars seats and welding frames togther!! There are many many cheap mount ideas there in that thread. $20 table (computer desk) black with kinda diagonal grey legs from Walmart seems to be the popular choice. You kinda half build the computer desk. Not very ergonomic but cheap as chips hehe

well I can't figure out why you would spend 5,000 and be barely able to use it say you have a 600 hp mustang a 50 shot of nitrous won't do much.
well I can't figure out why you would spend 5,000 and be barely able to use it say you have a 600 hp mustang a 50 shot of nitrous won't do much.
Actually it can prove quite helpful.
Here is a scenario - youhave a car that you have slightly modded - just enough to give you a small edge over the competition, but not too much HP so you shred you rear tyres and overdrive the track all the time.
You run neck and neck with the AI 1st place runner until you get a chance to pass - and on the main straightaway use your 50 - 100hp shot (adjustable - look in the car config window) to put some daylight between you and the quick agressive AI driver. Saving this step for the start of the last lap can give you the edge you might not have had.
Alternatively, if you can only afford small mods - the nitrous can give you the jump for races that do not have practice (qualifying) to get you near the front of the grid - especially useful for rolling starts where the front guys get the drop on your through some early bends after the start-finish straight.
OK - gripe time agai.... ;) :P
If you buy new wheels, why do they insist that you have trade your stock wheels in - and they are gone forever. If you buy wheels for your car, chances arte in real life you would keep the originals.. :P
BTW, a nice touch is that you can have diff. wheels for diff. tyre types... and that if you shop the "Daily specials' you can buy other cars wheels - like the set of E-Type Jaguar wheels I put on my riced out Hyundai.. :P

Question: has anyone hooked up a PS2 to a PC monitor / speakers? The reason I ask is that I want to buy the 900 degree wheel but dont have a place to anchor the steering wheel in my living room where my PS2 is currently located.
However I have nice spot where my PC is situated where I can anchor the wheel. Thus it would be cool to use my monitor for the PS2 as well
but a TV card.......and RCA to mini RCA audio converter.
I actually having the same problem, but I am considering buying a ikea table just to anchor the wheel. Or else i will have to make a trip to home depot.

I'm interested in this, but it requires me to be on like day 649-700 like someone posted. This won't happen anytime soon as im only on day 50 lol
With regard to the A-Spec points.. they seem to be increased the closer your cars perfomance is to the competitors.
So if you take a LeMan car to stock hatch bakc racxe, you may get 1 or even 0 points... but take a bone stock Civic Type R to race against an NSX Type R and you get a lot of points.
So the A-Spec points will be an indicator of how often you run cars in a state of tune close to the competition vs running race cars against stock cars.
At least this is what I think the points are ll about. (I couldn't be bothered going back to see if someone else posted something similar ;))

OK does anybody havve a general list of cars in which you can up the displacement? It seems to be a wasted option and same with the nitrous totally useless.
I am loving this game however and I was impressed by the 7.8 time my M3 made on the ring (highly modified and computer drivin)
Good job man! And displacement? On like every muscle car. :D
well I can't figure out why you would spend 5,000 and be barely able to use it say you have a 600 hp mustang a 50 shot of nitrous won't do much.
You know you can change the thing from 50 to 100 and maybe even more depending on the car? I was testing this out yesterday and got 70 in my NSX and 100 in my Toyota rally car of some sort?
holy crap I just saw they have the Taurus SHO in this game, of all the cars they put that one in. :lol:

The really fuckin hard thing are some of these missions! All of the "Passing" missions are easy, but some of the "3 Lap" missions are damn near impossible. They put you all in the same car, same spec, and then give the computer a half lap head start. If you hit the wall too hard you get held up 5 sec. Even after running 3 nearly perfect laps I still had hardly caught up to the last place car. Is there any special trick to getting these missions done a little easier?
Well - the friendly folks at GameShark have been busy little bees this week.
Hey all of you Gran Turismo fans! We’ve got the best codes around for the latest and greatest version, Gran Turismo 4. We’re the only cheat device to give you all of the cars right off the bat (check the Full Garage codes out). That code unlocks every single car available in the game in Gran Turismo Mode. Not only that, but get in the car of your choice in Gran Turismo Mode, and you can use it in the Arcade mode. If you start getting you butt kicked in a race, try the Autopilot code, your car will drive itself! You only see that code here! Plus, check out the Max Days code, that unlocks all of the tracks and courses in the game, another GameShark exclusive. Be sure to check out the Have All Gold Licenses codes, we completed all of them for you so you can get to some racing! You’ll definitely notice how we like to make code entry convenient for you, who wants to enter in a bunch of codes, when all you need is a couple to get the job done right. It’s about quality, not quantity folks.

I am going to be creating a few extra gamesaves on a couple of memory cards. One of the missions is to verify when they say "Unlock All Cars" - they really mean it.

hey PimpRacer, can you tell me where i can buy the Lancia Delta Intergrale Evoluzionne? the street version. i've look all around GTP and can't find any info on it, i can't buy it of the dealership and it's not a prize car either.
Couldn't it be just a random used car?
Couldn't it be just a random used car?
It is - I have managed to buy a white one and a red one. They appeared about a month apart.
BTW, when you need to take part in some manufacturer "Single Model" races, you will need to buy the car in the used car lot first.
So, pop into the used car lot every now and again to be sure some obscure model isn't on sale.
The cars rotate every 7 days BTW
The cars rotate every 7 days BTW
That's correct, but not all models rotate out of the for sale list.
Certain do - and it is the more desirable ones, like certain Alfa's, early Honda's, Isuzu's, Corvettes, Merceded etc.
But you can always count on a bunch of Supra's, STi' Skylines, Civics etc for sale.
Oh - and remember you may enter the Used Car lot on the last day of the cycle, and since it takes a day to bu a car, if you see 2 for sale - the second one may not be there after you buy the fist one.. :)
So - if you have th cash, and think you may need or want a certain car you haven't seen before... buy it hehe
Yup, basically exactly the same like in good old GT2 ;)

That means you have at least18 dupes - there are only 722 cars in the game (excluding colour variations) - I got all 722 now. :P
And this doesn't include the 4 carbon variations of the Toyota Mazda and Nissan prototype race cars.
Either they are simply a colour variation - or not even present in the US NTSC version.
BTW - there is no Alfa Tipo 33, and only one F1 car.
Didn't see any other real surprises - just zillions of Evo's and Skylines hehe :lol:

And also, the last event in professional, which car are you guys using??
because i am using a 350 z that i won with 775 hp and i am getting blown away, lol.

there are some discrepancies between the prize list posted and the version i'm playing now.
for the nurburgring 4hr endurance i won a Chaparral 2D race car '67. not the ABT TT car listed.
Don't tell me there are still random prizes here and there :D
Maybe its just that my list is wrong? Or Maybe the prize cars changed in the PAL to the NTSC Versions?

If you were to drive it urself, I strongly suggest the M3 CSL, for the M5 is quite twitchy at the ring. I crashed out a few times at the ring using the M5 and lost the last race (but still win the series....still for perfectionist M5 would be a toughfy at the last race)

Yeah I think I will get a CSL also maybe? I got 3.6 million in my bank saving up for those 4 cars! Anyone wanna know how to make 900 000 in 15 mins using B-SPEC mode?
Go to Eurpean Events then race in the Touring car challenge with the Audi TT R's and the A4 DTM and the CLK DTM and so on.
You MUST RACE AT LEAST ONE RACE FOR YOUR SELF IN ORDER TO GET THE 75 000 BOUNS CREDITS! You go and according to GTP it takes 15 mins VIA B-SPEC and then when you finsih you get a CLK GTR you sell it and then you 775 000 for it and in total you make around 900 000! I am starting to use B-SPEC for this since its getting tiring! :lol: I did it like 3 times I think? Anyways good luck guys!

Nope and I dont plan on to anytime soon. Powersliding with a stock NSX type S - Zero in GT3 was fun as hell! Just turn off traction and ASM and your set.,
Should be pretty easy to take panorama shots.. you just try to have all the shots with the same heigh and then you could try to merge them in photoshop.. shouldn't be too hard, no?

Man, has anyone tried the Chapparal 2J? The sucker car. That thing is nuts. It grips like crazy, but if your not careful it will get away from you. Especially over bumps and under hard braking, because I guess it messes up the aerodynamics and the suction. I put the stage four turbo on mine and its cranking out 1051hp. It hits ~185mph in 2nd gear (3-speed automatic and I messed with gearbox) and it gets there very quick. There is a big delay starting off in 1st, but once it gets going it eats the asphalt up. I tried to run it on the ring at balls to the walls speed, but its too bumpy and I wiped out a lot.
The thing is as ugly as it is fast. For a 1,200,000 or something like that its a good buy.

It runs 250mph plus down the Mulsanne - indeed insane.. but will get away from you real quick if you don't pay attention.
So I came across the 4 Carbon Fibre cars today - showed up on day 10493 - but I only saw them on 10496 and bought the 4th car on day 10500 - I almost missed em... :shock:

You cant buy it! I tried this and you cant? Was it a prize car? BTW maybe you fuck up at the ring because you have oh I dont know 1051HP on it? Maybe if you left it stock I bet you would be able to run it! Good luck with it though!

Read the entire thread.
Every person who "lost" their garage is a fucking moron.
They all did the exact process that the game warns NOT to do. And that is to remove the card in slot 1, replace it and save it to the new card.
The game warns that you will lose your garage cars - so they do it, and guess what - they lose their garage cars.
Again - computers do exactly what you tell them - in this case they deserve to lose their cars.
IF you want to make a back up copy of your saved game, just do it from the PS2 browser.

You can buy it. Just go to the Chapparal dealership in the American dealers. Its all the way on the right.
You can buy it because I did, and it shows the price not a dash -. Look: http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=50723

Maybe...:lol:
God damn guy I just got doing that Super Speed way by meself since that god damn AI sucks ass! :( It was boring as hell but it was very very competitive! :( Rember to have a GOOD pit stratergy! I had to pit every 8 or 9 laps because if I went over 9 laps my tires would just pop at like 215 MPH and then boom I spin out and I am screwed! :( I in the end ended up laping the car in 2nd place 3 times I think? I got very lucky! They pit only every 40 laps and you only have 100 laps so they pitted twice while I pitted like 10 times! :( Anyone else done any enduros yet?
Well - after a week of GT4, and realizing it is just a "so-so" upgrade to GT3... I decided to give TOCA Race Driver 2 a spin today.
Verdict so far:
GT4 - 8/10
TOCA Race Driver 2 - 9/10
TOCA 2 supports the 900 degree wheel, so GT4 doesn't win this feature.. ;)
As too how accurate the tracks are modelled, perhaps GT4 has the edge here, but if I had to choose between damage, better physics and realism vs uber-accurate tracks, I would go with the physics - after all, GT4 claims to be a DRIVING game, not architectural replay engine.. :P
Graphics and eye candy GT4 carries the win, but the physics engine, realistic response to driver input and realistic damage give TOCA 2 the edge.
Plus, the career mode in TOCA 2 has a logical progression to it.
GT4 is the realistic arcade game, and TOCA 2 is the driving simulator as far as I can tell ;)

RC GT4 also supports the 900 degrees wheel!
BTW try this site for gear ratios!

You have got to be high or something - or just never pay attention.
Who would NOT know that GT4 supports the 900 degree wheel? It was designed for GT4 - many of us bought ours the day it was launched in anticipation of GT4... all I have ever referenced has been GT4 and the 900 degree wheel.
The point is there are very few IF ANY other titles that support 900 degrees of rotation... TOCA 2 is one of them..
Therefore GT4 does not win that contest - it is not the sole 900 degree rotation supporting game. :roll:

:lol: Naw I dont think I am high? Maybe I just read it too fast because I am furustrated and a bit piseed since I did 25+ laps at the gay ass Super Speedway and found out I would never win and restarted and was so damn boring. But anyways I still have to pick up Toca 2! I heard it kicks ass! Damage and CGI or something like that cut scenses! Sounds pretty badass! I will probably get it this summer when I am like done with GT4. :lol: Are you cheating in Toca 2 also or are you actually doing it your self?

Thanks for the tip on TOCA, RC
I will give it a try tomorrow c/o Blockbuster.
Are you cheating in Toca 2 also or are you actually doing it your self?
No cheating here - the game is awesome to just drive. Try pickuo a used copy of TOCA 2 - they are out there, seems people expecting PGR2 traded TOCA 2 in - as it was too realistic.
I have great fun with the Formula Ford racing - great practice - also the 1968 Mustang series. The sound and ambience is awesome.
We are spoilt by the eye candy in GT4, and sadly this lets us discount the importance of the physics.
Of course GT4 just has that certain "GT-ness" about the layout, and options and approach to the game. TOCA 2 would be un-freaking believable with GT4 graphics....
If the XBox can get a proper wheel, and the Forza AI is tweaked, they may just have a winner on their hands.
Lets hope GT5 is everything GT4 should have been... :)

Yeah Toca 2 I am sure is a great game! Its a a pure racing game is maybe why the reason it is popular with cars guys while GT4 is popular with all the noobs and photographers and everything you know? BTW I am sure GT5 will have Ferrari , Lamborghini, Porsche and damage since the liscense to those 3 car companys are no longer owned by EA as of December from what I heard? And I say damaga becuase of the PS3! :D
Anyways giving my PS2 a break! Its been on for like 10 hours straight today!

Hm, this may explain why for me when playing GT4 every so often the screen seems to get fuzzy and the quality goes south for a few seconds. It usually happens in certain parts of certain tracks. I wasn't sure it's a problem with my tv, my playstation 2 (older one), or the actual disc itself.
No - in-game fuzzyness is just the sloppy coding that PD did in GT4.

Does B-spec count as AI? :D . i did a couple hours by myself but when the time comes you zoned out of the race and your not even looking at the turns any more your just looking at the little red number that blinks and tells you when to brake, its time for my B-spec points to take action :mrgreen:

i had to adjust the laser a few times to get mine to work, but after a while everything started to work. my playstation is still in pieces from when i took it apart, i just play it as is just incase it happens again, lol.
as for the power and speed and the driving missions, i have never had the problem. my only guess would be to move the laser again a couple of notches until it all works.

Oh I see. I'm suprised PD would release it like that. It does take away from the in-game action whenever it happens.

I have had a lot of trouble this that as well. what i did was do an endurance race and win the 89' Toyota (minolta), put a turbo on it and it gets around 1150hp. Then you can win the last race in pro league.

I am having trouble with those old car races in the pro league! That god damn AC cobra kicks my ass! :(
I admit I never read the prize cars list because I hate spoilers, but I was wondering, when or where do you win the preistoric 3 and 4 wheeled things you can find in the classic Mercedes showroom? Since you can't buy them, i suppose they are prize somewhere...

I know exactly what you mean. At first I was using a SS 454 for those races but kept getting beat by a Buick Special '62. So I bought a Buick Special and midified it a little in hopes of winning. Well than the old AC cobra joins the races and I can't beat it! So finally I bought the Shelby Cobra 427 ('67) and fully modified it with over 800 hp. Showed the AC cobra whose boss. :)

&
S License all = Gold Ford Model T
If using the NORTH AMERICAN VERSION
Super (All Gold) : FORD Model T Tourer '15
Pro hall
World Classic Car Series : MERCEDES-BENZ Daimler Motor Carriage '1886
Enduro
Grand Valley 300km : Audi Auto Union V16 Type C Streamline '37
Nurburgring 4 Hours Endurance : Chaparral 2D Race Car '67
European hall
French Championship : CITROEN 2CV Type-A '54

Yeah I wanna race them also BUT! THey are high poly and have as many as polys as 3 cars combined so PS2 would fry if they made them race each other. Just wait till we get GT5 and the PS3! :D

I was wondering about the "high polycount" shit... and this in an example of where PD lost sight of the point of the game.
Drive and race cars.
What is the point of a Caterham/Super 7 - that you cannot use competitively. The Suzuki GSX/R looks to be pretty high poly count and does quite well.
There are a number of other "special" cars that seem to be un-usable for no good reason.
It is these type of obvious glitches are what really makes the 4 years a pointless wait.

my ps2 is modded... but it play fine. at first
all the other games play fine also.. just gt4 dont work.. but it worked before.. so i weird
It's your system.
I work at Blockbuster and alot of people are having this problem with the older large PS2 but not everybody no one is having this problem with the new PS2.
Hm, this may explain why for me when playing GT4 every so often the screen seems to get fuzzy and the quality goes south for a few seconds. It usually happens in certain parts of certain tracks. I wasn't sure it's a problem with my tv, my playstation 2 (older one), or the actual disc itself.
I have this problem also. Old shape PS2 (but only 18months old) My TV will handle all the resolutions but it the game seems most stable in 'normal' video mode (I still get a progressive display on my screen as the plasma does the interlace to progressive conversion...)

I used the ford gt, i find it cannot handle or break very well. Although with a couple of mods it is pretty quick in a straight line.
Just trying to work out how to put some damn pics in the PC, just for fun.. i found a 10 USD memory stick.. the pics are in it but obviously having win98 and not XP, I need to find some fucking drivers for the damn thing.. if not I will just end up with an useless micro dildo :D

I dont really consider them glithchs. Its the PS2 fault really. The PS2 can not handle so many high poly cars so it would just freeze up or something you know?

Nope they are indeed killing me! :(

Yeah I know that race is fucking hard! I havent been able to beat it even with me in that Ford GT40! Overall I think GT4's AI has improved vastly and its diffuicult/fun/furustrating.

Are those screenshots really from the game??? Man, EvoII looks fatasticique! Any chance they release an update for the game? If they add E30 M3 I swera I buy PS2 and GT4 :P
How good is this game? Better than LFS? Write your experionces please.
And GT4 ULTIMATE TOPIC will be great! But post more classics, not those LeMans crap or Formulas, you know 205, M3, Merc Evo, Evo VI and actally all the EVO's etc.

Good idea, FPVPSI , but how will we verify people arent cheating?
It's easy to set a course and post screenshots of finish times or best lap times, but how do we make sure no-one sneaks an SLR into a Ginetta race, as an example? :twisted:
We will set up some OLR for sure once everybody will have it across the globe, don't worry
Of course like for GT, Gt2 or GT3, since only a few of us owns Sharkports, it's all about trust..

Cool...Looking forward to it very much
Although I am pretty shit at GT4 and expect to come last everytime! :lol:
I raced for years in OLR with GT2 and GT3.. there are ways to vaguely verify a lap with a indepth walkthtough with gears and speed, but impossible to verify the parts installed on the car without a sharkport so there is always room for cheater sadly...

I ordered mine today and I should get it in 3 days.

gathering kolometers on various tracks.
That's it, I have to go make a couple of driffts in the gt3, to calm my nerves...
