We pick a track, a car, etc. Everyone has a week to post their times. Best times win. Something stupid to show the skills. A little time trial if you will.

I am one of the very few people who thinks the HK track rocks.

I wonder what other guys think...

Leave the driving aids alone. 500-something hp on rear wheels without traction control is nuts.

The winner has the rights to set-up the next round.

Round 1 ends on next Saturday 12:00(noon) eastern time.

I will post my first run in the next few hours.

The black cars are cool but don't expect Jesus cars.

I'm trying to do the N-Ring 24 hour and I tried with the BMW M3 GTR Race Car and I have to pit every 2-3 laps. I have the 1/2 tire combo and I upgraded to stage 4. Did you guys who did the 24 hour with the Minolta or whatever upgrade your turbo or leave it stock so not to eat the tires. Maybe my car is too fast.

No one is posting in here because there is nothing new to post. I myself have been taking a (sorely needed) break from GT4. Also about to move, and other things going on so haven't had much time for GT4.

Number of days I played the black cars after getting them: 1. Hell, I don't even think I tried the R390. LOL. They are just nice to have. Call 'em collector's editions. Definitely not "Jesus cars", lol... Of course, right after getting the black cars, I was on a mission to get under 6 mins in the Supra RZ @ the Ring so that kinda interfered with anything else I wanted to do. If you race one car for a long time you really get used to it and how it behaves, you don't want to keep switching cars because it will fuxx0r with your focus because you will have to "re-learn" the other car(s)... something like that.

I wanna do some more Photo Mode stuff soon.

That's where I am at.. I gave my PS2 to my brother/sister before GT4 came out. and I bought an xbox since then.

If reviews for Forza is less than stellar, then I'm selling my xbox on e-bay and buying another PS2.

oops.. yes sir.

I used the Minolta, F: Super Soft, R: Medium Hard Racing tires, stock turbo.

You realize, I just left the PS2 on for 24 hours basically, I mean, I didn't watch the race and how many pitstops the car was making. So take my "advice" accordingly...

had game roughly 1 month, a little over 15% complete, half way though AI licence tests, love all the new tracks, don't get to play as much as i would like but its still fun, that nurumburg (spell) track is a bitch to memorize but im working on it.
my top 5 cars (nothing spectacular)
1. skyline gtr v-spec 800hp +
2. bwm m-5 700hp +
3. nsx type-r fully modded (forget specs)
4. s-2000 350hp +
5. civic type-r 330hp +

Who said the black beauties are "jesus cars"?

Minolta and R8 are a hell lot faster.

But they do look so damn cool.

I meant they weren't Jesus cars since you have to wait so long to get them. You figure you'd get the R8 with a Stage 6 Turbo.

My update - 0% done still, 110 days through the game.

I have the B, A, iB, and half the iA licenses.

Something like 14 golds, 38 silvers, 4 bronzes.

I have all silvers for B, A, and iB so I got those cars.



EDIT: I wasted a lot of days getting golds on the B licenses - and I only have 13 of 16!

Before you get bored take the Pontiac Sunfire GXP Concept and go run some Beginner Events. Do something different.

Yeah I got the iA license this weekend so now I'm gonna start the Beginner events. Should I mod the GXP at all?

Also, do I need to do oil changes for the cars I win in the license tests?

Can't remember if I modded my GXP but I doubt it. I think I only used it for the Sunday Cup to make some money to buy my first used car which was a 99 Skyline GTR (R34). I didn't change the oil for those cars because I think they have 0 miles.

Oh and I finally won the Formula Car using the Minolta with stock turbo. I think I would only recommend going Stage 4 boost on low # of lap races. The power was killing my tires. So now I'm halfway in the Pro Tourney (been busy) only getting competition from the C9 Sauber which seems to be faster than the Formula off the line. But nothing beats the smoothness and handling of the Forumla at 15000RPM.

Change your oil ALL THE TIME!

It gives you extra 5% of HP.

Hey Doom,

No offense but the GXP sucks! I started the Beginner races last night, and when I got to the FF Cup I had to use the GXP. I had no chance at all, the 1st place car was an average 6 seconds ahead after every race! I guess I could mod it, but I'd rather just win/buy a better car instead.

I did win the Sunday Cup and the FR Cup with the Nismo 270R that I won from the iA licenses.
