Favorite car and track combination

[TransAm]

At the moment I'd have to say S2000 and Nordschleife :mrgreen:

(without any driving aids and on the tyres it comes with)

I like drifting too!

[sheruken]

I can never drift in this game. I mean yeah I can get the tail out (slightly) for a while but cant really control and call it a drift. I guess it is too hard to drift with DS2 (Game Pad), you need to have a precise control over the steering which I dont seem to have with the analog sticks!
Can someone drift properly with the DS2? Can u gimme some pointers?

[taygunho]

le mans and bentley speed 8 is my favourite combination.

Caterham 7 round the ring. Tends to bounce and jump around heaps on the bumps

[exhausted mules]

formula gran turismo

the trails mountain course

and every other course with that car except for the damn fuji's.

fuck.

For drifting take a car with 300+ bhp(not a rule) and put on comfort tires. Not only does it seem the most natural for racing, and in terms of laptimes, but it produces very natural feeling drifts. Certainly not easy, but with a wheel putting on opposite lock feels great and produces predicatable results.

The M3 is car that likes to oversteer because of the chassis. The Yellowbird is similar, but much more difficult to control and it creates a lot more oversteer.(and that is before you put on the power:P ) For power drifts take out the M5.

I acutally just got GT4 yesterday and i'm learning... But so far the NSX on Laguna or the new M5. I was quite dissapointed by the brakes on the E55.

mabey its because of blatent over-playing... but i've grown to love the NSX-R with Medium racing tires on the Nurburgring ;) .... i know a 7:05 can be done by me... i just havent made it there lol

ho hum... another dynamic car... the Ruf RGT around NS with Sport soft is even quite fun.... again, on NS :mrgreen:

i havent yet tried the CTR yellowbird... on NS... but i'd guess a venture that its pretty fun too :lol:

CTR and the North Loop is by far my favourite.... it's also the "yardstick"" I used to evaluate GT4 vs Forza vs Enthusia.

soo.....
ive never played enthusia, i have limited experience with forza...

hows the comparison?? my guess is there isn't anywhere near the involvement of a force feedback wheel in Forza... and im not sure what system enthusia is for...

things i get upset in GT4 with are few... but annoying:
no donuts... it's too easy for low speed power to the pavement... also why GTR totally rocks ;)
the steering wheel feels too small to catch slides accurately
arbitrary, and unnamed units for costom settings... WTF is 108 rear d/f? etc.
AI = retarded
bump and pass :P

my limited experience in Forza says that its too easy to catch a slide. bump phisics still work :P

I take it that is the RUF and not the Civic Type R :wink:

fully modded z06 with racing tires on the North Loop, such a beautiful, predictable car, on a fabolous track. :D :D

you see... fully predictable cars just arent quite what im looking for... they get a tad on the dull side in the game... i like having twitchy cars that are very fast... but require that extra attention to braking style and points... and sensetive to throttle mid corner, and on the exit... so, i guess i like predictably dificult :P thats why i like the NSX-R... its very very sensitive to braking... and the Ruf is sensitive everywhere else.
Although i love playing with the costom suspension/gear ratios for faster times.

NSX on Laguna Seca as well.

[nthfinity]

I just mod the car with the best parts... but never play with the camber, the ride high or the gear ratios (unless I play in the 'test course', obviously )

you might be suprised that making a costom NS suspension will lower your lap time by as much as it will... for the NSX-R... i'd guess you could hit a 6:50 or so with Medium race tires + race suspension configurations.

I might change my vote; i've been using my tuned Zonda on Midfield and it's simply amazing. On the on otherhand the SLR works perfect on the 'Ring as it's stable.

You're not talking about the stock SLR are you? I hate that car on the ring, understeer for days. :x

Certaintly not :D

Fully tuned and eqquiped with Race S5 tyres.

my fav is the 206 rally in chamotix! i love that track, hard at first but once u get the control on snow/ice its very fun, specially with the wheel!

[nthfinity]

well... i've been figuring that since there are absolutely 0 proper porsches in the game, and i wonder how GT4 would interpret the 996 GT3 RSR...
some important charactaristics:
996 GT3 RSR---------Ruf RGT (GT4)
1115 kg-------------->1130 kg (3 stage weight reduction)
445 bhp-------------->445 bhp (tuned w/out oil change--451 with)
racing tires----------> racing medium
racing brakes---------> racing brakes
roll cage--------------> roll cage.
etc.
so basically, you can get it pretty close... but w/out ajustable wing and front spoiler.

so i played with the suspension... and the car either oversteers uncontrollably, or understeers too much... so i opted for the closest to neutral i could, so still understeery. so it means you have to plant yourself on the right line a bit ahead of time... otherwise your going 10+ mph too slow. it also lacks the torque that would be needed to send it out of control if you gass it too hard in a corners' exit... instead, the steady power will correct sometimes killer oversteer

naturally, i took my "RSR" to the Nurburgring and the car definately needs a more softly sprung suspension, otherwise the bumps get the best of you w/out any simulated d/f. it feels more proper :) a lighter/more powerful GT3 cant be a bad thing... it feels soooo much more predictable then the NSX-R...even when similar modifications are made :shock:

so, i think i've gotten myself within 4 seconds of me concidering the lap good, and 8-10 seconds from as good as i could be, if you took each sector individually that ive done perfect... but still, im pleased with a 6:49.898...

i wonder how a real RSR would do on the ring ??

so now that i've tuned her... i start hot lapping it. with 445 hp, and 1130 kg, this feels more like a nice simulated race car...

Edit:
so i've been trying to look up NS times for the RSR and heres what i got
8:53.871 (ring plus F1 track) [24 h of nurburgring]
2:01. 68 (F1 track) [1000km of nurburgring]
so extrapolating... a 6:52 would be a pretty fast time... and remarkably close to my 6:49 :shock: very interesting, i say :idea:
