Currently making the switch to manual transmission from auto in the quest for more speed I assume everyone else is MT right?

[Jase_MK]

Auto Although I'm pretty sure that question was aimed at speedy, dwmc, etc...

[speedyK]

I assume everyone else is MT right?

Yep – it's the only way to get max control.

Will be a bit awkward at first, but the learning curve is pretty steep, so you will very soon do better than with auto.

Appologies for not following the rules of this thread but... I asked this in a different thread, but I feel this is likely to reach a more 'target' audience: Is it possible to set up 2 Driving Force Pro wheels with one PS2, hence allowing 2-player racing, both with the full works? I don't see why it wouldn't be possible, but didn't want to waste a load of cash. Cheers.

Cheers.

The standard dual shock controls and the wheels all simply plug innto the same sockets, so don't see why it shoudn't work with two wheels...

Even better would be two GT4 and two PS2s with two screens networked so each was full screen.

Talking of networks, I'm hoping that maybe there will be a broadband compatible GT game before long for some real fun!

Anyway, you should still post your best times to "buy" your space in this thread!

[dudewheresmycar]

MT is for MEN AT is for WIMPS

[speedyK]

Well, that's the short, sharp answer!

Buy an xbox, get xbox live and broadband, buy PGR2 and bob's yer uncle. Nurburgring online with 8 drivers is fantastic. You always get soem asshole with a 512k line though and they spoil it for everyone because they lag out. I've got a 2mb connection and generally play with yanks (who are notrmally on around 2-4mb) and Swedes (who are nomally on 16mb+). In fact, I play Ghost Recon IR with a Swede who has a 48 up, 32 down connection. Unbelievable... He can download a film in 1280x1024 in a couple of hours.

With PS3 on the horizon (and so good you can't tell the difference to watching a film, according to the reports) I don't think its worth giving Bill any money. Sounds good though, but can't believe they've mapped the 'Ring as accurately as they did for GT4.

Anyway, back to the still current times: I got bored trying to beat dwnc's VXT time (how I hate that tail-heavy bloater), so I had a go in a 111R – now that's more like it! First time out I did an 8.11 including a massive spin into the barrier at the end of the main straight that cost me ages, so should easily beat VXT times. When I complete a decent lap I'll post it up in case anyone wants to try against it

A suggestion why dont we start another thread with our Lizzy times?! I think there are 3 different types of Lotus on GT4? correct me if im wrong. I need a new challenge

[speedyK]

  I need a new challenge 

Waddaya mean? Look at those N/A and tuned times! Actually, it would appear that we are fairly evenly matched on this chassis, so will probably also be in the Elise versions.

I was getting ready to post something similar to prompt interest (and that's why I posted about it before) Of course, I agree to go for the Elise 111R times (K series don't do it for me though) But why not just hang the Lizzie times on this thread? That's simplest.

Not tried the 111R seriously yet, but there is much potential there. Look forward to seeing what you can do – would not surprise me much to see you post a below 8.00 on a sweet lap. Presently I'm more in an N/A mood, getting ready for Hockenheim, but may be tempted if you post something sickeningly fast

[TurboTomato]

Think I now have MT sorted (shift up on R2 and down on R1, it's the only way I can co-ordinate it ) so may have another crack at those times...

[dudewheresmycar]

Right you are speedy me ol pal ill get right on it 111R here I come . Ive had a quick go in a tuned 111R about 260BHP (without the tubo!!) and clocked about 6.30 ish might be a bit more cant rally remember of the top of my head but ill post something more concrete in a couple of days. Happy Driving

[speedyK]

ill post something more concrete in a couple of days.

OK – let's do 2 categories:

Arcade mode 111R (with default SM tyres)

Tuned 111R (whatever you want for mods)

Look forward to seeing your times – I'll get on it after Hockenheim

First Play of Game, Ring in an N/A... Automatic (don't worry, i'll go man. soon), Driver Aides on, Using a controler (will get a wheel soon)....

10 mins 12 seconds.

Is this ok as a first attempt? Anyone who played GT4 as their first incarnation, is this rubbish or acceptable?

Speedy, Dude... I think you may be waiting a while for me to challenge.

I would say, yes! (I "killed" myself a tleast three times on my first 'Ring lap in the N/A )

Speedy, Dude... I think you may be waiting a while for me to challenge.

No hurry!

[dudewheresmycar]

10min is quite respectable if you just get a few corners spot on you will see your time tumble well into 9 min. Good luck and happy driving. I recieved Forza Motorsport this morning so im going to have a ganda at this then ill get back to GT4

[JG]

Can we have a quick rule reminder? For the NA: Standard vx Standard sports medium tyres No driving aids Arcade mode, time trial. Is that correct? James
