Default Motor GT4 Challange: Anyone bothered?
Well id be damned after Bathurst that I would sit through more crappy adds watching Indy, so while reading Motor last night I notice a small "challenge" on page 20.

So the terms are:
Current MX-5 (I think they mean the '04 RS version as there is no '05)
Stock Standard
Arcade Mode (time trail I guess)
Road Tyres (I didn't read that at first)
Tsukuba Raceway

So before sending in my time, I might aswell see what other people are doing so I am not wasting my time.

My best so far is 1'11.471

its amazing how much difference tyres make as I was doing 1'09.xx on softs before I realised you needed to use Road tyres.

I think I can do a bit better, but it would only be by a tenth or so. And it gets boring driving around in a stocker _

Heres a pic.

So anyone else up for a quick challenge?:

Best I got before I decided I'd had enough of driving on road tyres was 1'12.141, I know I could have got a faster time, but I couldn't resist having a bit of fun with throwing the tail out and oversteering around the corners...

1'11.471 - you must have had more restraint then I did mate :hihi:

You can't go and try it at a friends place or in a shop? Well, we've had it since just after it came out, and I still love playing it, so I think that speaks for itself

If you need to be convinced any further, I could make up a short video and put a link up for you to watch

Hehehe, ok, what should I record? Personally I love the replay I have saved of an RS200 flogging an EVO and getting nicely sideways around every corner, I was thinking maybe a complation of some video of that along with some other cars in action on different tracks, any suggestions?

Speed magazine had one as well, but that magazine seems to have stopped now which is a shame.

I'd be interested to see what the best times anyone can get if they try the BMW M5 rather then the MX-5, I had a go, and damn it was fun, not easy, but fun once you get the hang of it.
