GT5 Driving Challenge #2

[emerson.]

Whats it like 10 on the west coast?

[matthugie]

I'm hours from home and definitely done, but as far as I know the lines stay open until midnight for whatever locale people are submitting from. Spyhunter is probably the only one who still has a shot though, unless a dark horse comes in from nowhere.

[JGood]

I'm definitely done trying

[emerson.]

Everybody done trying? Lol. I'm gonna go to bed soon and wanna get this posted before hand

[SpyHunter]

I may, or may not, know the ring well, as well. :^)

Sorry didnt mean this wasnt interesting and competitive, I was just gonna add to it lol, sport tires on the BTR is just insane and would be so frustrating I think especially on that long ass track ahah.

I was gonna do a little cash winningz or maybe a car part as a prize.

No offense taken :)

Also, I would welcome that challenge. The BTR is one of my favorite drift cars so I'm used to driving it with shitty tires, and didn't really understand B Spec in GT4 so I did the 24h Nurburgring race in A Spec mode. This of course was after trying out the 4h endurance on the Ring just to see how it was. I *may* know that track pretty well... I wish I could have seen the look on my face when I was told I could have just done it on B Spec rather than keeping my PS2 on for a week and driving it 4-5 hours a day.

Well, I thought I had something interesting and competitive, but had some pushback early. I didn't realize that I was recreating an existing challenge, but it appears no one likes using sports tires regardless.

If I ever win one of these challenges Ill make it a bit more interesting and competitive.

[SpyHunter]

Haha, sounds fun.... :D

I cant wait till someone makes us drive the BTR on sport hard at Nurburg LOL

[matthugie]

There was no keeping it floored through those first few corners for me. I would have to grab 5th for a bit on the main straight, then back to fourth and feathering the throttle through the first two.

This was the same for me. I also don't know how you're coming across the start line at 125+, I'm usually at 118-120, though most of the time I was looking at that was on restart.

Regardless, the challenge ends at midnight tonight, so get your times in!

Those first few turns are everything cross the starting line at 125+, even at that speed if you dive in correctly you can keep that speed all the way up to the tunnel. With that speed you can go through the turn in high 3rd. Same with the mini tunnel before the long tunnel/straight. If you can feather and choose the right line you'll go through it in high third/forth. Turn after the straight is also high third.. turn at the top of that hill, third. Turn at the bottom third, then you've got the last turns before the grid. Pick the correct line and you go flat out... All about feathing and being on the the very edge of cutting and good, it takes alot of restarts and gets annoying lol.

Again, buy some racing hard tires set a 1:33- 1:34 lap and chase it down with you sport med. Tires, I find it helps a lot. You know you get through a turn fast and in the correct line when you catch up or its not speed not speeding away from you lol. I started out way behind the ghost in the first few turn but eventually I was infront of it until the long tunnel/straight
