My son has just shown me a "cheat" that goes into GT4 that allows you to turn off the clock and start it with just a press of a button So I won't bother posting the 3 second lap time I have achieved Not that anyone else would be so bold Any new people in here??

a "cheat" that goes into GT4

Never seen the point of that sort of thing.

I was glad to get the 100,000 credits transferred from GT3 and, if I hadn't had that possibility, I would have welcomed "free" credits to get some good cars – but why cheat your times???

Anyway, this is a local forum for local people and we'll have none of that here!!!

hear,hear I still can't get below 9 mins though

Blimey is this thread still going I havent even got my sterring wheel yet Actually the logitech wheel looks so good in the pics I wonder if i can swap it with my vx one Surely only a case of a couple of hours tinkering Browncanoe.

[speedyK]

the logitech wheel looks so good in the pics I wonder if i can swap it with my vx one

And there was me thinking the other way round, wanting the Logitech to be more Speedster-like to make me feel more at home in my virtual cockpit

But we shouldn't chat here – times and piccies only the man said...

Awesome lap speedy

I've been busy working through the GT mode. Feck knows where I'm going to get 10s from though

finally managed to practice few laps, so hopefully seconds are being shaved off...
...still driving to conservatively.... got the hunch that sub-'30 are only achievable with a very "dirty" style....

Who-ah! Excellent. Ricky you've motivated to get back to my trusty N/A. God, it handles sooooooo much better than that mandarin Turbo I used for the VXT times. So beautifully balanced. When i saw your time, I started up and did a 8.27 on my warm-up lap, then nailed it next lap for a 8.20.9 – I was being over cautious near the end to "carry my baby safely home" as I was a good five secs up on the previous record. Aftwerwards I raced my 8.20 ghost a few times to clinch this new time.

Now I just need to beat the second best VXT time with the N/A to rub salt into the wound! Hey, Ricky – I'm too scared to do the 'Ring for real, but it would be great if you joined us at Hock!

I bow down to your superior GT4 skills. In my defence, I'm still using DS2.

Haven't driven the 'ring for a couple of weeks, might have another crack this week.

I'm still using DS2.

Get the DFP, you'll be amazed how good the feel is

Another little step with the stock VXT. I reckon someone who can drive really consistently should be able to break the 8 min. barrier...
