no, i wasn't asking if keisuke & takumi were in tsukuba, lol.
i was asking : aren't they 9 stars? (outta 10)
i mean, i didnt really notice in the machine,
but at the japanese website it says that they are 9 stars

http://initiald.sega.jp/ind_ac4/chara06.html

lol is it 9 stars? i thought it was 10 =/

im also unsure lol, since i dont really take note.
but according to the JAP website,
Keisuke & Takumi = 9/10 Stars

kisuke and takumi are 9 stars
only bunta is 10 stars

maybe the jap vers and our vers are not the same physics might not be totally the same too

i thought everything is the same.. its only the level.. the higher to go the more difficult it gets.. doesnt matter with the stars.. ???

stars just show how difficult they are compared to the rest. like bunta is 10 star and itsuki is 1 star. it just gives ppl who dont know a way to tell how fast they are.

Questions:
do choosing car with specific drive train (FR or 4WD) calls for change in driving style (ie: accel timing, braking timing)? because for me they all feel the same (sliding like crazy).
thanks

There is a bit of a difference, but mostly how they feel. My 86 feels very slippery, but my cappu doesn't feel nearly as slippery. In fact, my friend (who normally drives a DC2) said the 86 felt totally out of control to him, because it slides so easily.
So there is a difference, but mostly in the way they feel when you're turning.

if im not wrong, different layouts(FR,FF,4WD)
all need different timings for turning,
(as in where/when you turn)
this is probably the most obvious in irohazaka,
with its "abundance" in turns

Really?!I don't think there's difference though..

I have a question about taking corners. I'm still new to this version, btw. I've seen several vids where I noticed that the cars are like, staring at the apex of the corner during turns. Wouldn't this slow the car down? If not, is there benefit in doing this?

EDIT: Sorry if I was supposed to ask this in the Q&A thread.

To minimize speed loss through corner.
That's very good line to use in Tsukuba OB.

Really?!What's Apex anyway?All I know now is that Apex is our Administrator..

Apex = Sharpest Point Of The Curve
(its quite hard to explain LOL.)
[sorry i tried drawing a curve thingy using
Xs for the road and *s for the apex but it didnt work
cos all the spaces were deleted for some reason -.-
and it turned out like a mess of Xs]

so, i made this(:

So would this apply to every course as well?

Shinrei: lol i laughed. im surprised you don't know apex when you play racing game.

Marc: that is pro picture right there lmao.

spyke: Pretty much. Watch TA vids on all courses...soak in the lines.

haha lawl. thanks=D
btw, all pics are here:
Tsukaeru Gallery

#1 just click "go to gallery" (duh!)
#2 click any mountain(:

秋名山(榛名山) = akina
赤城山 = akagi
碓氷峠 = usui
妙義山 = myogi
正丸峠 = shomaru
いろは坂 = irohazaka

and for some maps that are not in that site,
go to : Initial D Real Side(:

Oh,so that's Apex..Yeah man,sometimes I couldn't believe I could do Akina 3:02:xxx and Akagi 2:36:xxx not knowing Apex..

Damien wolf here's ajnother noob question: What are the cheats to obtain the hidden cards in ID 4?

I think there are no cheat car like Bunta's in V3..M.R Damien Wolf,You should include this on 1st Post..

there are no longer any "hidden" cars like Bunta's GC8V,
right now the only "extra" cars are those added in the v1.5 patch:
-Toyota Altezza [SXE10]
-Mazda RX8 [SE3P]
-Mazda MX5 Roadster [NA6CE]

Are they really cheat cars?!I thought that they'd make appearance already since the beginning of the game.. I started playing in 1.1 if I'm not wrong,maybe 1.2..There's RX-8 already..

Those aren't cheat cars.
They "added" those in the Jap version.
International already had it.

Nah,see? Thought so,LOL!
