AJI Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 No.... in the game you can take corners without risk. In real life you have to think about living long enough to make the next corner. The game can't replicate real life for £40. It has some realistic features but on the whole it is still a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 In real life you have to think about living long enough to make the next corner. LMAO. and I thought my aspirations in life were limited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 No.... in the game you can take corners without risk. In real life you have to think about living long enough to make the next corner. The game can't replicate real life for £40. It has some realistic features but on the whole it is still a game. That's *so* true for a punter going round but I bet Mike of the Schumacher isn't shitting it during every corner he goes round at 4G he'd drive a car to it's utter limit around the 'ring, as would many other drivers. And I bet he wouldn't do it in 7m11s in an NA soop with nitrous Seems daft to have so many accurate cars and such an accurate track and then somehow mess up the physics to the point that you, with a joypad (and a bag of Doritos for the straight bits ), can hoon round the Ring in a stock Supra a minute faster than the best drivers in real life could with a race prepped Porsche... I'm gonna get flamed to buggery by the GT4 crowd aiieeeeeeee -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Here, actually, what's the Supra like compared to a real one, then? Are the ratios/speeds/handling/braking right? Any game I've played with a Supra in has been wildly off. I hear they have got turbo lag right though -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 blimey ! I'll be having another go at this tonight ! Is that still with an NA Supra ? No, the RZ, stock, no traction control, sports/medium tyres. Ignore the NA crap, no one cares for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Is there a driver on the planet that could go round the 'ring in the same sort of car so fast for real? I though anything under 8 minutes needed some bonkers race prepped 800bhp monster? -Ian Nah, just a car that can handle well, the new NSX Type R has been round in 7:51, and the Corvette C6 under 8 mins too. That Blitz Supra got a 700bhp 7:49 didnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJI Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 ok.... just slapped a soft compound race tyre on and my new time is 6"50'.412... got camera phone proof if required LOL That's still with an NA Supra with all the mods possible... including rear down force wing and NOS. Just thought of another reason why you can drive the game a lot faster that in real life...... just think how short a time it takes you in the game to go from full turning lock to full lock in the other direction. To do that hand speed in real life is impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To do that hand speed in real life is impossible. Wow! Bloody impressive! Thats going to take some beating for sure, will be back when I have. In the meantime, beat Bobbeh's time in the RZ to keep him quiet. Have you tried the GT4 sterring wheel? 900 degrees lock-to-lock. Could prove your theory.

Rob Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 No I put in on directors mode and left it for a day I've heard of this before, how crazy have we become when we play driving games because we can't afford to race cars in real life, then we get the driving game to play itself while we go to work? Weird stuff...what level does your B-spec driver have to be to start winning races? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 After that list of times I'm still not convinced the physics are right Beating the absolute bestest time ever by 20s in an NA on soft rubber lol So now we've ascertained that the cars are indestructible, superpowered, and can go round on rails, can people at work stop harping on about how frickin' realistic it is? /rant -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Na, with NOS and exremely lightweight with all race car spec mods.. bah, like whats been said before, driving in the game = no risk whereas driving in real life around the ring = life/death.

SimonB Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 You guys ought to try it with the ASM and TCS turned off, and with the display set to simple so you don't get the red suggested gear thing and the map. Try getting good times like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
