Having trouble at Mission 34 - Mercedes 1 lap magic showdown... Anyone got any Ideas or techniques on how to win there? My last "win" was a 9"21.918, in third place. And I've been doing this for the past 2 weeks and I still can't beat the 300 SL in that SLR... |

The R34's chosen one Group: Advanced Members Posts: 804 Member No.: 27,787 Joined: Dec 13th 2007 Location: Makati, Philippines | Godarm, thanks for your tip. THough I've been trying that ever since I knew that in a mission, you can go off road, which was when I started it. Finally got a 9:15"XXX something... but it is still not enough to beat that god damn Mercedes 300SL 1954!! Took me 3 hours to get it right. Crappy parts where I go a penalty where I'm just a corner away from the long straight... Anyone else got techniques to share on this? I want to get out of Nurburgring Magic race ASAP!! It's the last one left in my missions... (33/34) Edit: Screw the last time I posted. It's now down to a 9:13"6XX but it still ain't enough? Anyone knows the fast-lap-points/areas in Nurburgring? Edit2: Cleared it! Took me long enough!... ----NEW!---- Anyone got the BMW McLaren F1 GTR? Where can I get it? This post has been edited by Gunma's 34 on Oct 13 2008, 04:41 PM |

DiRT has been the only next gen racing game I've been playing. Probably be that way till GT5 comes out. |

IDW Goldmember Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,133 Member No.: 2,798 Joined: Aug 25th 2004 Location: Levanger, Norway | Presently I am doing the 1000 miles race in the European hall... With a little twist. I am driving a Nissan, but I am not inferior to the American cars in the race at all, in fact even though I have to go for tires every 2nd lap or every lap pending on my pace I got more traction and power than they can offer. What am I driving? My Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 non Vspec with 400 horsepower Gotta love having a modchip every now and then, however I am trying to rig the race and put the rotary Mazda 110S in 2nd place and it is turning out to be a bad day for Chevrolet and Mercedes at the moment. |

The R34's chosen one Group: Advanced Members Posts: 804 Member No.: 27,787 Joined: Dec 13th 2007 Location: Makati, Philippines | My share on the story. Since some have... Busy unlocking various concepts and going back to the License tests to get the secret GT4 GTR pace car... successfully, I got it... It's a complete monster!! Looking at the Mods... it's the hidden GT-R Z-TUNE!! I zoomed in on the lower right section of the R34's rear and I saw there "Z-Tune". I went like OMFGBBQAOL! A GT-R34 Z-TUNE! No wonder the rally cars can't match this even at Cathedral rocks! Even the engine's hp says "I am hell! Fear me!!" Recently, I just got the Viper GTS-R Concept from one of the US one-make races... chrysler I think... It's pretty stable at the snow - in stock form. - Chamonix normal. Just need to avoid shifting it to gear 1 while drifting or it's 360 to me... And lastly, beating the missions, I got an R89C and used it in the GT All stars. A monster at best, yet it has one weak course - DRIVING PARK TEST COURSE, Sarthe I and II and Super Speedway! Why? Rear tires easily BURN!! Question to the guys? Do you turn off your TCS and ASM while racing? Or only on certain events? |

IDW Goldmember Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,133 Member No.: 2,798 Joined: Aug 25th 2004 Location: Levanger, Norway | I use TCS if the car is a really big power machine with a lot of torque and I cannot afford a pit or if it is a longer race... However, 650 Hp Supra's do not fall in that catagory, even when running close gearing... My disposition for tailsliding is too extreme so a little power just helps me along |

IDW Prime Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 720 Member No.: 27,007 Joined: Oct 12th 2007 Location: Fuji Heavy HQ | i dont normally mess with those settings unless i feel they're slowing the car down. i thinkmy ps2 was stolen, i dont remember what box i put my memory cards in , which is it what matters. thank god it didnt have a harddrive attached, then i'd be screwed like a ps3 or xbox360 owner. but last time i played, i was saving up to get the GT-One(TSO20) I finally bought it and have been trying to perfect it's gearing/modifications to hit speeds faster than my GT2 version could hit(undocumented 273.14mph). im not using cheats either folk. i had some great camaro photos on that memory card for DAKMOR... and that, if >he does lose his memory card i don't think i'll play the game again but to get the Concept Iroc-Z again.<-DAKMOR This post has been edited by BlackSubaru on Oct 20 2008, 06:03 AM |

Even in the Formula Gran turismo car. With the DFP, it all comes down to controlling the car like Senna would in the 1000HP JPS Lotus, Its RAW! |

In GT4's defense, those cars came out way after GT4 did. But yeah, it does get a bit boring being limited to cars made before 2004 or so. But GT5 will never get that problem thanks to online updates! | ||

The R34's chosen one Group: Advanced Members Posts: 804 Member No.: 27,787 Joined: Dec 13th 2007 Location: Makati, Philippines | At least the hard to get OTHER cars in GT4 would make things less of a drag. Not to mention the sort of system-breaking endurances like the 24 Hour Sarthe I and II, and Nurburgring races. Also the License cars in the License tests too could pose quite a challenge. Back to Updates... Went back to the Euro events to race in the 1000 miles challenge. What am I driving? A Hakosuka GT-R, The very first one. I max modded it, 280hp Turbo with TCS 1. Thought that I would be going on a sparring match with the Jaguar E type w/c has 250 hp... Sadly, they placed in an Alfa Guililla Sprint, like the one in the ex-D movie. (Chinese man from movie: Oh, my Alfa... Oh Romeo Romeo Romeo ) I'm doing round 2 in a little while... I feel really sorry for that Fiat FT500 at Nurburgring... going until 100 km/h max speed. |
