Original Post:

So how many of you have Gran Turismo 4? Anybody interested in a challenge? We could designate a car and track to play in Arcade mode. Take a screenshot or somthing to illustrate your best time. When sombody holds the best time for a week, they get to designate a new car and track.

Any takers?

I'm in. Though I'd skip arcade mode.

Pick a track, and a car, and have at it. I think most people are far enough along in the game by now that pretty much every car is available to everyone, as long as you don't do something too unique.

The initial challenge over on NASIOC was any non-race/LM NSX at Suzuka. Should we try that one?

Well, Suzuka is Honda's home track.

How 'bout this instead:

Build a car as close as possible to your actual street car, and run a hot lap at Laguna Seca. Post the mods list and best time (and a picture of the car too if you have the time).

Well that sounds like fun and all, but I thought a match based purely on driving skill would be cool...

All the Imprezas in GT4 are turbocharged. If we were doing Forza, then I'd be able to swing that.

I did this one with a friend: you have a limit of $40,000 to purchase and build your car. Then agree on a track.

Rally in GT4 is the absolute worst thing about that game. If you want to do rally, try Rallysport Challenge on XBox, or Richard Burns Rally on the PC. Actually, RBR is too hard... I can barely finish a stage at 3/4 speed.

I used to feel that way too, but then I spent a weekend rallying against a buddy with my Logitech stearing wheel, and it got A LOT funner.

That actually sounds like a cool idea.

But how about I designate a track tonight and a car to be run in arcade mode. Then whoever wins (by holding the best time for a week) can make whatever rules for the next challenge they want? Agreed?

This all sounds like great fun, but I don't have GT4. Bastard! I could do Rally Sport Challenge 2, as Scott mentioned, but most people don't have THAT game! Shame too, 'cause it's awesome!

The only problem is that you'll require me to break my 0 minutes in arcade mode rule.

I've never driven arcade, and I've never driven B-spec. IMO, they are contrary to the whole point of a "driving simulator". Pick a license test instead of Arcade, that way not only will the car be "spec" you can't cut corners or anything as well.

Cory, you're more than welcome to come over and play GT4 some evening.

Scott, you're too much man. However, you do bring up a good point about taking shortcuts. There's a major one on Laguna Seca and I'm sure many others. I've only just recently finished the B license, but I think one of the tasks was a full lap at a track IIRC. I'll check it out tonight.

As part of the super license (or whatever it's called in GT4) there's a single lap attack at Sears Point in an Audi R8 ALMS P1 car... that's a great one.

However it's done, I think we should pick one car and see who gets the best times for that track. Also 2 wheels must be touching the track at all times (excluding jumping) so that way people don't cut the tracks and such. I did that like twice on the GTPlanet forums. Stock Audi TT race car, Nurburgring, best time was like 6 something.

Also, I don't know what is wrong with the rally portion of the game, besides that once you get to the IA license rallies they are impossible to beat. But I think the rallying itself is fun.

The rallying just takes a little to get used to, and then it's a lot of fun.

Rally sucks. Get a 900 degree wheel and see what it takes to turn lock-to-lock-to-lock... you'll ruin the wheel and still not even keep up with the input that the game requires.

IMO, they never tested the rally w/ the GT wheel. I never had a problem w/ the rally in GT3 on my old wheel, but GT4 with the new wheel is just an exercise in fustration. You have to revert to the D-pad controller to be at all competative. Why should I have to go back to the game controller after spending $150 on the wheel *recommended* for the game? F that.... I'll stick to the tarmac and play one of the 60 other games that do rally right when I need my dirt fix.
