I'll see if my freind will do it. That is his favorite game.

What are the rules? Fastest time on any track with any car? Screenies to prove it?

and what i was talking about for a online challenge would be to get everyone in Skylines, Corvette's, etc and hop online and hit up Nurbergring :)

something liek that. Nothing is final, i just want to see if my efforts will go down the drain if i do this.

and this is what i am affraid of:

hm. 50+ hours of work a week and regular life doesn't afford me the luxury of "going all out" and doing the rest with good results me lad.

from what i gather this is how things are shaping up to go down. each week there will be a new challange posted in which you have till the next challenge posting to complete it. the nature of the challange will dictate what rules/regulations/conditions will be in play. for instance a challange linup might look something like so...

-week one-
leguna seca time attack
restrictions:
cars/tuning - 250hp cap


-week two-
deep forrest straightaway top speed
restrictions:
cars - German cars only
tuning - engine upgrades only

-week three-
Evo Ring challenge
restrictions:
cars - Evo series only.
tuning - No "pre-builts" must be upgraded and tuned by driver; sky's the limit.

hopefully that gives you an idea. that way it isn't all just stock cars. tuning does play a large role in this game so i'd hate to leave it out. adjusting something as little as downforce can have a huge impact on top speeds and track times. i have a '99 WRX tuned to run like a super car; it keeps up with tom's supra pretty decently.

the only type i'd be reluctant to do would be rally events. as much as i love them they're just to easy to cheat on. take a high powered car and ride the walls, not much challenge in that if you ask me.

and amidy, what are you talking about when you say online?

Is this GT or Arcade mode?

I haven't gotten too far into GT mode yet, so if I'm gonna compete, it'd have to be the Arcade mode.

Unfortunately I don't have my DFP with me, and I'm not good with the controller, but that shouldn't matter :)

Lastly, I won't be able to post screenshots if you guys want them as proof, because I don't have my desktop with me either for me to hook my PS2 to :(

I know there's a way to play GT4 online, but from what I know, the setup isn't easy, and the results still aren't satisfactory. Even on LAN is pushing it I think :icon32:

You can save photos to an USB drive, but I'm not sure about screen captures. What I can do is to use a digital cam to take pics of my TV screen. However, even screenshots won't be able to catch certain cheats such as wall riding or corner cutting.

Why not play a more realistic driving game, like Crash Nitro Kart?

Fucking hell, use PGR3 or Forza or something actually GOOD. GT4 is a waste of time.

Also i think it should go like this:

Week 1 :
Track - Leguna Seca
Car - Nissan Skyline R34 - Standard
Best lap time : 00:00:00
Best overall time : 00:00:00

Just keep it simple for those who have not had the time to complete the GT mode...

the refrence is, make a online game, everyone join up with say a slyline, and we will all race on Nurburgring. :)

gt4 supports online racing, and i am not quite 100% how it will work out.. but it would be fun to say the least, right? :)

@Gramps stu: Yea, thats what i am talking about..

anyone that thinks Metropolis street racer or one of its brothers is realistic needs there head checked.

on aserious note, when playing GT4 VS forza or Motropolitan. Gt4 has a much beter feel to it, the view isent small and blocked. i think the best way to discribe it... compare quake 3's view ( gt4 ) to Halo's View ( Forza )... its more annoying then not.
