GTP WTAC Week 68 : Deux Grands Nez (remix)
*** I initially had the Gillet Vertigo Race Car paired with the Panoz Esperante but, after deciding to check whether or not R1 tires would be good enough for both cars, I found out the Gillet's gear ratios are set for a low speed track (it's top-end speed is far too low). I used to love the Gillet Vertigo in Gran Turismo 3 - it was red and had about 400-500 HP. It was a beast on all tracks and super fun to drive. This high-HP yellow Vertigo, also found in Gran Turismo 4, is just too hard to handle without full throttle control. And with Polyphony Digital setting the gear ratios too close together, this can is only really usable on short tracks with very low speeds. That's a shame because it was one of my favorite cars. To replace the Vertigo, I chose the Chevrolet Camaro LM Race Car. This was one of PD's earlier 'fantasy' creations and has been in the Gran Turismo series through four versions of the game. It certainly won't be able to keep up with the Panoz Esperante, so don't try to make direct comparisons between the two cars, but it is fun to drive in it's own right. ***
