ok guys, i need a driving lesson:
how do i drive rally???
I seem to spin out no matter what I try.
I'm using the toyota RAID rally car I won.
I think the only thing that's working for me is to jerk the wheel into the turn BEFORE the turn, causing my car to slide and then modulate the gas to get grip and accel out of the turn...sounds easy but hard as hell for me!

IM STUCK!!!
I am trying to complete the second last set of races in the Professional League before I can move on any further. This is the set of races where it must be a production car with over 493whp. I have completed all the tracks but the last race. I have an Sl65amg and thought I had all the settings right. It has over 900hp and for some reason no matter what I do the Cien keeps walking away from me at the end.
Can anyone recomend a better car for this race?????

GRAN TURISMO 4 RACES INTO THE RECORD BOOKS
Biggest PS2 launch ever for the ultimate driving simulator
15:05 Sony's GT4 has finally pulled on the handbrake and stopped dead on European shop shelves - and it's managed to smoke the record for the biggest PS2 game launch ever.
Over 3 million copies (3,182,535 if you must know) of the hardcore driving simulator pulled into stores across PAL territories last night. That's the single largest number of PS2 games ever shipped on launch day.
Of course, it's not how many copies are on shelves but how many copies sell that counts. It'll be interesting to see how it does now that the racing genre has moved so far forwards since GT3.
But despite lacking the anticipated online mode and still turning its back on car damage, GT4 shouldn't have too many problems. It's still pretty bloody brilliant.

Hmm... I haven't got to those races yet (actually, just starting), but I can't say if anyone is there from what I've seen.

Damn... how about something from the RUF line?

oh shoot..... my bad. I thought you were talking about the last race. for the Supercar Festival, I used a Saleen S7. honestly you should be able to win that race with a stock SL65... add some power if you want to seal the deal.

that's the reason i bought an sl65 rather then an slr, i can race the sl in the mercedes one make race in the SL challange and in the other one. its good to look ahead in the game, one car might be able to win multiple races.

damn just took the Toyota GT-One out.... I'm happy to report that while the car is not quite as stable as the XJR-9 straight out-of-the-box, it definitely has the potential to be. With some tuning, I think I can get it there.

The Cien is going to own in long straightaway races. I don't recall if that series that's trying to be done is more straight, curvy, or mixed but there's always one bully car and that may be the target. You're probably not going to be able to find a car that'll meet it's straight speed unless you mod out a Viper but I haven't tried one yet. I'd probably try to get 25% to go endurance from somewhere else or the reset trick. If I had to race that car, I'd try my Stage 2 500+ hp R34 and see how that manages. With ASM tuned you should own him on turns and low end speed. Maybe for straightaway runs use the Stage 4 turbo for more top end.

I used the GT1 in GT3 and wasn't impressed vs the 787B. If IRC it was too torquey and I prefer high revvers like the 787B. I've yet to drive an F1 btw.
Speakin of F1's, over at v6p they're bitching about not being able to use F1's for sport tire races.

About the F1's - yeah that is a complaint from the GT forums too... I guess Polyphony wanted it that way, since you can't even go into any options for the F1 in GT mode. If it's any consolation, you can choose the F1 car in Arcade mode and set Supersoft tires there. You can either choose it by loading your memory card or by scrolling all the way to the right of the car selection screen - the manufacturer is listed as Polyphony Digital, I believe...
btw the Jaguar XJR-9 is as fast, if not faster, than the F1...
it also handles as well or better. In GT3, the F1 cars were arcade racers with ridiculous handling - the performance has been "toned down" quite a bit for GT4 - I would like to think the F1 simulation in GT4 is more realistic...edit: oh oops you're talking about something else... about not being able to enter the F1 into the sports and simulation tire races LOL... anyway.
