| I'm interested in doing another Top Gear challenge but how about we use Tuner cars such as the Mines GT-R and such. Anyway, I'm interested not sure if others are. |
| Posted by: Spaz Jan 11 2009, 02:03 PM |
| I'd be up for it. GT4 managed to find its way back into my PS2 recently. |

| I'm up for one too, i started playing this again a couple of days ago . |
| Posted by: shinn Jan 23 2009, 08:33 PM |
| Is this still going on? I'm interested. |
| Posted by: Gunma's 34 Jan 24 2009, 05:58 AM |
| I'm in. Definitely. Question, though... could the GRAN TURISMO SKYLINE count? |
| Posted by: Spaz Jan 27 2009, 09:58 AM | ||
It'll probably be price capped well below that mark. 5 People now, how many we looking for? |
| Posted by: midnightevo6 Feb 25 2009, 11:48 AM |
| eh lets just make our own top gear challenge. stigs taking too long. |
| Posted by: Spaz Feb 25 2009, 01:57 PM |
| That might be necessary. We going to do this or not, Stig? |

LOL sorry, I just couldn't think of any challenges that would be appropriate. I'm down to be in the competition just not the one making it haha. |

| How bout a race to see who gets the best time. Rules should be like buying a new used car, completely stock. The only custom options are tires and GT oil. Something like that. BTW we should all be using the same car on the same course. Savvy? |
| Posted by: Spaz Mar 7 2009, 06:11 PM |
| Or do like a $2k cap with oil change on the car, then outfitted with S2s? |
| Posted by: midnightevo6 Mar 8 2009, 07:04 PM |
| i like the idea of having the same car, and a cap on $ but how much and should we like use left over $ to tune our car w free oil change. or instead of same car we use same drive train , diff cars? |
| Posted by: Spaz Mar 10 2009, 12:53 PM |
| Same car takes the strategy out of it, which is what the challenges have always been about. They get the cars they feel best fit the theme inside the price range. I have no problems tuning, but putting requirements like "same drivetrain" takes the strategy out of that, too. Proposition: $15k cap, all cars and mods inside price range are open, price is all encompassing (tires, oil change, the works). |
| Posted by: shinn Mar 10 2009, 06:25 PM |
| Well the problem is that most of us don't know how to tune properly(including me) so it might be unfair for some of us. |
| Posted by: Spaz Mar 10 2009, 06:42 PM |
| You won't be able to do much tuning on $15k, trust me. I'd assume most people would buy a car that's between $3k-5k, then S3s are $7k, so at best case, that leaves you with $5k at best for what should be predominantly low-level handling mods, which don't give you a lot of options... |
| Posted by: shinn Mar 10 2009, 08:55 PM |
| Well that makes sense I guess. So I guess one of us should start a separate thread for the challenge. |

nah just post the challenge here . so let me get this right , 15k cap. n' we get to choose any car n' drivetrain. that's cool. are the oil changes free? o yea we needs a course easy like motegie , med like trial mountain , hard like nurburgring. http://www.answers.com/topic/list-of-gran-turismo-courses |
| Posted by: shinn Mar 12 2009, 10:48 AM |
| So how are we going to time it? Best lap or best overall time? |
| Posted by: Spaz Mar 12 2009, 11:55 AM |
| Here's what I think: $15k cap. Includes car, oil changes, mods, tires, EVERYTHING. There are normally 3 events per challenge, so first one could be a fastest lap on Deep Forest. Any objections? The one question I have, is how do we want to handle the following challenge choices? Decide on them all now, or as we go? |
| Posted by: shinn Mar 12 2009, 08:00 PM |
| 15k cap. You can do anything you want with the car. Tires and oil fall under the cost. And fastest lap at Deep Forest and some other place. MUST HAVE PHOTO PROOF OF YOUR TIME! I'm going to post two times. One with controller and the other with DFP. |
| Posted by: Spaz Mar 15 2009, 07:30 PM |
| And list out all of your expenses when you post your time. I'm down to like 1'30" currently, but I'm not making that official yet. |
| Posted by: midnightevo6 Mar 17 2009, 12:44 PM |
| ok so, deep forest is the chosen course we're gonna race on. i think it should be best lap. also please enter : Car: drivetrain: moneyspent: moneyleft over: mods: hp: and of course,best time: |
| Posted by: The Stig Mar 18 2009, 11:55 PM |
| Hmm I'm down for this challenge. Also, when you've chosen your car you HAVE to stick with it. Also limits on cars, or just anything that can be bought below 15k, and any money left over for mods/oil change/tire right? |
| Posted by: Gunma's 34 Mar 19 2009, 01:43 AM | ||
Hmm... sounds fair enough... 15K, Deep Forest... forward right?
Some other place... could we make it a bit Wangan-ish... like say SPECIAL STAGE R5 or something close to Deep forest like el Capitan? |
| Posted by: Spaz Mar 19 2009, 05:37 AM | ||||
Anything below 15k. When it comes down it it, unless you're only spending 4k on the car, it should be pretty close if people scroll down the used list instead of just buying the first possible option they see. That's a hint, BTW. Once you get about halfway down, I could see most of that stuff producing fairly close times. Also, most of the those cars also come with S2s, so you can skip a tire purchase if you want.
Yeah, forward. And I like the idea of doing something different. Possibly even something on gravel, with dirt tires not being part of the cost. Only problem with that is that it could be severely biased toward a specific drivetrain, whereas tarmac's more fair. Anyone else have thoughts on this? |
| Posted by: shinn Mar 19 2009, 06:32 PM |
| That was the reason why I suggested everyone using the same car. |
| Posted by: The Stig Mar 20 2009, 09:52 AM |
| My unofficial lap time is currently 1:26.9xx; The reason why this isn't really progressing as fast as the other challenges is because people need to commit to a car, and post it up. Secondly, fastest lap times doing unlimited laps doesn't really help progress it; Having a Family cup on said course with a set difficulty is a good way of doing a challenge. If you are really set on doing a time attack style, then do a set number of laps. https://idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=33894 https://idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=32048 |

| If only my PS2 hadn't been dead due to the laser mis-alignment (Stupid Slimline PS2), I'd be glad to even start up one challenge and cause a havoc in the GT4 threads ><; But for now, I'll have to see what I can do to make my machine working again. |
| Posted by: The Stig Mar 20 2009, 10:04 AM | ||
Yes for the love of god, please do! |
| Posted by: PandaApex May 17 2009, 08:54 AM | ||
I have a slight objection I got GT4 less than a Week ago, and I made around 16k. Can I enter this with a $16k gap? Its just 1 extra k of cash (the car I bought was under $15,200. |
