if the tyres can clear water at that speed (F1 tyres can, so I imagine NASCAR tyres could if they wanted to).

Yes, that sounds 100% reasonable!!! Cannot see a reason not to.

Have you ever considered the actual physics of an F1 car and a stock car of any kind? I believe one reason that F1 rain tyres can clear water so well is because of the immense downforce. NASCAR race cars have FAR less downforce than an F1 car does, even at the 140-210 mph speeds that the stock cars run, especially with the new car. If a NASCAR stock car or even the COT had anything near the range of F1 physics, you wouldn't see the car's tires lifting off the ground in the Watkins Glen or Infineon road races.

Quote from Hankstar :

My favourite Escudo trick in GT2 was when you had that oval enduro to do (worked in GT3 with the mega-oval races too): use a rubber band to hold the right analog stick flat to the floor, let the car take off, get it to top gear, go do something else (but periodically check that you're facing the right way ). Gold.

Was that 5 mile long mega-oval in GT2? The one in GT4 basically has a long line of dips in the turns if you try to run anywhere near the top paint line, making any car almost impossible to control.

Quote from aston martyn :

and TC would be better in the F1 cars as ive seen videos of people spinning in the Formula 08, the BMW has TC, why not the other F1's?

The reason why the FO8 and FOX do not have TC is because their real life counterparts don't (ChampCar and Formula Renualt). Also, the FIA is requiring the removal of traction control from all F1 cars in the 2008 season.

*Driver looks over* WHAT!? Gran Turismo 4!?!? You said this would be a REAL simulation!

Quote from Hankstar :

Nice that they let you take your pets to school.

Huh? I don't get you there. If you don't know, junior in high school= grade 11. I'm in grade 9.

I PM'ed Frenchy because I couldn't find this page, Is it possible for me to join the team? I haven't recieved a reply from any of the team since i talked to Frenchy.

Im 15, started high school today, and got dry humped by a somewhat cute junior within the first 30 minutes of being there.

Now to actually wreck it

Anyone want to try this out?

Quote from squidhead :

no difference still
1) you could record your pb using for example PIP style - with one camera at the wheels, one camera on the dashboard...
2) record in 0.5, speed it up with VDub
3) ehm... it didnt do anything to make the movie more exiting...

Okay, I will take care to do things like that in upcoming videos.

1. It was meant to just be a recording for a pb.
2. Fraps is an FPS killer, of course.
3. There was a car in front of me, no hotlapping mode.

You guys are right, I probably shouldn't have posted it here since it's not much of a "movie" at all, just a recording.

I made a short clip of me making a pb just under 2 seconds off the WR in the FXR. me: 1:37.10
WR holder Norbi: 1:35.18

Nothing special, it was just me pushing the FXR as hard as i could

Quote from GruntOfAction :

Strange, Acording to your profile your in Finland...

I never knew finland was in Jamacia..

Jokes aside I hope you make it out okay. I just hope the storm doesn't turn for the worse, and litteraly, towards Georgia..

He is from Finland, but he could be living in Jamacia, or on vacation.

Is it me or is this the beggest wave of crackers basically admitting it that we have seen?

If you can, get off the island and head to the U.S. or anuy country that isn't in the path, sitting through a category 5 hurricane wouldn't be much fun at all, it could completely destroy houses with that power, if you can't, I wish you the best of luck.

"Jeff Gordon leads as the competition gets ripped apart... literally."

If all you guys are going to do is complain, im going to remove the layout.

Also, how does the layout kill fps? Im not on such a good system myself.

Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6 Ghz
crappy notebook video card
2GB RAM

EDIT: I have removed a lot of the tires from turns 1 and 2, but I left the long line of white tires in place for runoff purposes- if they aren't there, people can cut the track relatively unscathed. Niko, putting in marshalls wouldn't be fair for people running of due to a mistake in T1, but the barriers do pose a problem until Patch Y comes out (if a fix for that is included).

Quote from Darkone55 :

Ooooh, there go my FPS.
The idea is good, but I seriously hope the big servers won't use it, sorry.

Is there any way I can tune it down but the layout still be effective?

Quote from Jakg :

He doesn't have one, smoeone shared theres with him.

Really? His screenshots only seem to be based in Single Player. I don't think he even has a legit liscense (I.E. he is a cracker.) How could you guys not see that?

I made this layout on Kyoto National because I saw too many people cutting across the sand traps through turn one, and even though it caused suspension damage, people would do it anyway. This layout is also hosted on my server, HCGC Racing Nations. Here are some screenshots for people too lazy to download and try the layout.

EDIT: Removed due to everyone complaining how much the layout sucks. Go ahead, let people cut the hell out of the track.

My PC can barely handle CS:S, which came with my copy of Garry's mod, which I will have to do a reinstall to clean out all the mods because the Gmod update destroyed some mods and increased loading time horribly.

I currently have 3 drivers on my team, which includes me, and two teammates. So I need one more.

I had to run my router's firewall in DMZplus mode to finally get my server working... Now if only people would join it...
