Hi, people.

I just registered to try to see if I could get some more useful info for this.

Well has my signature says I'm not really a starter in this (I stated this over a year ago, but have the game since the release). And s few of you already know me (well at least bttlefed knows me, for some time).

For some reasons I'm not able to get a new pic of my status (since I don't have a camera and a friend of mine was who took that pic some time ago).

So I have a bit more pts (but not to much more).

My actual is 110.763 (has it says in the signature), but the pic is a bit older

http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l227/Han_the_Dragon/IM000365.jpg

And since the pic has the B-spec status not completelly visible I keep this one also:

I think that after such a long fight to keep the 100% win I will try to keep it to the end at any cost...

Congrats,
No worries, the "proof required" states it should be >99.999 A-spec points.

Congratulations Han_the_Dragon !!! Very impressive !!!

Just a little question: how is it possible to keep the 100% win ratio while a lot of 200 points races are quite difficult to reach !!!

Congratulations Han_the_Dragon !!! Very impressive !!!

Just a little question: how is it possible to keep the 100% win ratio while a lot of 200 points races are quite difficult to reach !!!

Thanks. And congrats to you too.

And actually keep the 100% isn't all that hard (just a lot of ps2 resets).

But I already almost regret all the work to keep them, since I need to win the races in first try (or reset), I normally find the lineup I need and work the car setup (or use 1 done by others), and then race against that line up until I find out all the key points in the race and win it, after that reset the ps2, get the line up needed and try to replicate the previous winning try (this is only possible because the AI is to much previsible).

Just that.

And the 3 times I regretted it was in the GTi Cup, Tsukuba (after winning this I didn't realise I had set the Nitrous to the max after saving :banghead:

and doing the first win race, and then I spent 30 minutes losing every single try without knowing why...) :rolleyes:

Other was HK win the GTi Cup too, but this one was worst, I spent about 1 or 2 hours until I win it, then I went to lunch and came back (since I had done a pause I tried to see if I could do it again, and won in my first try

), but after that when racing the final time it took me more 4 hours to win it again... :banghead:

And the other one was Motorland in the MG event (same story has Tsukuba, except the nitrous thing and this one took more time, maybe 1 hour :banghead:

).

Sorry for the off-topic

Aquendwato · May 4, 2007

I've started to chase this seemingly impossible goal. Right now I have just 8,184 "usable" points. That's points from above my calculated 196 point cutoff per race (assuming 34 completed missions, 100 A-Spec/rally race, and no endurance points). Clearly still a long way to go, but I'll keep on going.

Vash666 · May 5, 2007

Han_the_Dragon, congrats and impressive record you have there. I didn't have the patience do all resets the 100% rate would have required. :crazy:

Aquendwato, good luck with the "quest" 👍

Han_the_Dragon, congrats and impressive record you have there. I didn't have the patience do all resets the 100% rate would have required.
Aquendwato, good luck with the "quest" 👍

Thanks, and ya, I really have patience to keep it. Well sometimes, like those above mentioned, when I need to spend a lot of time searching for a line up or in endurance races (I'm not really a long endurance fan, but when I did the 8 and 9 hour endurance I did them in only 1 day, I also did a 9 hour run when I did my only 24hour endurance, that was Sarthe II), I almost lose my patience, but that's all the times it happens to me in this...

But still you are the one that did almost all races (including all 1-make and 1000 Miles! races), I'm just a average player at this, specially looking in what I still need to do (well in some way I still can say I have an easy race to win for 200pts, and that's Sarthe I, maybe Nur 24hours will not be to hard too, but all other races will be a pain to get max pts), saying that I also can say that I can at least get easily more 600-700pts (I have those 2 endurance at 0 has well has Sarthe and Nur in the 1000miles!), but since the objective is max A-spec, those 600-700pts would only make me sad, for seeing the finish so close, and so far...

And since lately I have being with my heart hurting me (physically and literally), and since that is mainly because of a lot of stress I'm staying away from those races (or at least not spending much time in every try), because if I put my in some extra and avoidable stress I think I will not last to much long...

Vash666 · May 18, 2007

It is DONE! Today I finally finished Nurb 24h and got the final 200pts, I have now reached the 111813.

It was a long and a bumpy road but so worth it. I have now many close and exciting races behind me, thanks to the max A-spec quest.
I want to thank you fellow A-spec nutters, all the hints and tips found in the 200pts. forum made it possible for me to reach the max. Keep hunting and good luck to all! :cheers:

Here are the final status screens:

Han_the_Dragon · May 18, 2007

Great work there, vash, really great work.

Congratulations for the max A-spec.

And for the next one that will be probably bttlefed if he didn't gave up or take a brake, or nige, since he is only needs more less then 100pts (but don't know in how many races those pts are).

BobK · May 18, 2007

2 races - both PITA ones : The 1000 miles! @ Nurby which I'm leaving to last and guess what - the Mazda 4hr Endurance!!!!! So bttlefed will probably be next.

Now you can try LFS...💡

Car-less · May 19, 2007

Congrats Vash666, what's next? Max out your B-spec stats?

Good luck battefed and nige. I suspect you two will also get to maximum points before I reach 100,000.

Vash666 · May 20, 2007

Thanks all, much appreciated

Fizio, you mean live for speed, right? I tried it sometime ago but didn't find it that enjoyable as I don't have a wheel to use. It is quite tricky to drive with mouse/keyboard controls...👎 If I someday get my hands on a wheel though its a different story. :sly:

Car-less, I don't know about the B-spec stats yet, I haven't really looked into it to see what it takes to max them out. Bob has some work to do though, as I need much more money to buy some of the more expensive cars that I don't have yet.

Tuuba-A · May 22, 2007

Congratulations, Vash666! You did it!
I'll try to repeat that in a distant future. I can tell fro your win ratio, that you have seldom reset the ps2.. :sly:

That's the way to go.

:cheers:

Wow! It's been a long time since I have been on the forum.

It's great to see that GT4 still has such a following. I play every now and then but most of my time is spent racing RC cars and with my Son racing MX. Looking forward to GT5!

Congrats to all 100000 point members and good luck to all that are getting to that goal.

OK I get you now. Thing is Route_66 doesn't visit GTP a lot anymore. In fact most who have either reached 100K or max have since then not been active in this forum.
No one except a moderator would be able to edit Route's post and I wouldn't like to burden them with it.
So the next best thing I can do is this.

Maximum A-spec points reached 111813.

Holy crap, AMG!

That's a fine bit of work to compile that list! Good job!👍 and I'm number threeeeee!

Sweet!

I must try to update my pic. I still have a perfect win ratio (a few resets! :nervous:

) Is it M34? With that 🤬 SLR on the ring, that was a biotch! Many chioce words were used when racing that one. Still do not have all my B-Spec points yet, it got very boring. :yuck:

I will get them some day!

You guys take care, have fun and stay off the grass! :cheers:

The list was easy.
Getting this subforum took a little more work but I was really happy to get Jordan's blessing to create it and have daan set up the 'closed' threads. (=no new threads can be made by members). The support I got from other A-spec nutters surely helped. 👍 At the time of conception I was quite a nervous wreck. :scared:

Have today just reached the max total -111813.
Thanks to all the guys who have helped me reach this magic total especially AMG, Fizio, Han_The_Dragon, Vash, Battlefd. I am sure there are others . So thanks.👍 👍
A crappy photo of my achievement -

#222 updated. What now, stock cars for max points?

Vash666 · May 28, 2007

Big congrats nige for achieving max points!! 👍 :cheers:

Bit of an empty feeling now as the goal is reached? I'm also interested what you are planning to do next.

nige · May 28, 2007

Thanx AMG and Vash666.
What am I going to do next? At this moment in time I don't really know. My B-Spec stats are not maxxed out but for some reason I not too bothered by that. Racing for 200 points using Stock cars - now there's a thought! 💡
Improving my licence times is one option I'm considering. Finding alternative 200 pointers is another.
I would of course like to continue to help those who have helped me over the last few years.
It's been a really long journey. Maybe just get back to having some fun racing again.
Oh, and wait for GT5 I suppose!!!
Cheers guys,

nige
