Motor GT4 Challange: Anyone bothered?

**Polyal** · 23-10-2005, 05:49 PM

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

sfr rob - GT4 is bloody awesome, but ive heard that forza is just as good.

madd - post a vid up anyway, I want to see how it turns out. I spent about 30 mins try to get that time during the adds.

Come on where did all those GT4 freaks go?

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?

**Polyal** · 24-10-2005, 11:50 AM

sideways action is always appreciated...lol

Nah whatever is easiest.

zetec · 24-10-2005, 11:52 AM

I'm in. Leave it with me, I'll crack 1.10 with roadies... that challenge is down!!!!!

**Polyal** · 24-10-2005, 12:38 PM

into the 10's is possible...below that on road tyres its near on impossible

sfr rob · 24-10-2005, 05:09 PM

none of my mates own the game!
forza is good, i had a ps2 but i swapped it for my x box... i want it back now!

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

The MaDDeSTMaN · 24-10-2005, 08:07 PM

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.

MX837M-GE · 24-10-2005, 08:43 PM

1'10.764 as per the MX5 challenge

Had spin with the M5 too for good measure, with sports medium tires though: '59.878
