nurburgring nordschleife rules!

in hour 9 currently, hey, what else is this day good for? currently 3 laps ahead of the m3 gt-r (which i by the way restarted the race over 20 times so it would appear, so i could whoop it :) )

i'm a-specing all the way, in a gt500 woodone supra, all stock except tuning. go 6 laps before a tire change on coldest. this is by FAR the best way in my opinion to learn the ring. i'm a pro now. lapping consistently in the 6:50 range with 1 crash every 3-4 laps.

i first did the 4-hour nurburgring nordschleife enduro in a gt300 aspara drink rx-7. imo, the ring is best learnt in a 200-300 hp car, gradually stepping up to a 500hp or so car.

the real life nordschleife record is 6:11 in a porsche 956c (550-650ps depending on boost i believe), stefan bellof. anyone come close in a 787, or other group c car? (no power mods or turbo, or nitrous)

---

anyway, i'm fascinated by the ring. i understand even more why highly developed german cars perform well under changing situations and conditions. heres a great website i've found. all the info you could want:

👍 Good going!!! I tried the same and got 13 hours in and decided I had better things to do at the time. I'll try it again later, though. I hate b-spec! Are you doing it in one sitting or over a period of days?
 
You must be crackers! :crazy:

Seriously you're a braver man than me, how are your thumbs holding up? You'll have arthritis if you do this too often I reckon!
 
I believe my best time in a Free Run with the Esso Ultraflow Supra is 6m43 or so.:)

And my best time with a Group C car is 5m22, with a Sauber Mercedes. Best time with the Minolta Toyota is 5m34, best time with the 787B is 5m48 or so I believe.:)
 
I'd come cheer for you wearin nothing but pom poms on my hands and a smile on my face, but that'd prolly distract you from your racing, lol. Good luck, and watch out for the last bend before the finish line, its a doozy. 👍

^ those are some hot cheerleaders!

btw, I'll try that when I have time.
 
I love GT4 but dont understand how someone is supposed to sit for 24 hours straight doing a race. It would be nice if you could save your progress in the 3rd hour then load it up later, and so on.
 
24hrs behind the ps2!!!

ur nutso! :p

go man go!
 
A 24 hour race does sound fun. I'll get to it someday. When I do it's going to be an all nighter. I'll use A-Spec too. B-Spec is for little wussies.
 
This was started on Sunday... I take it you've finished by now?

Congrats on your new Polyphony Formula 1.

What colour did you get?

PS Quite amusing that he started on Sunday... and his first reply was on Thursday... he must reckon we're all a bunch of uncaring feckers!!

EXACTLY!! I`m afraid to attempt any 24 hour race for fear that I`ll be two minutes from finishing & the electricity will go out. :nervous:
 
you guys are awesome! :)

guess what? so, i always unplug my controller when i stop playing, but nevertheless, i didn't do it ONCE, and my cat decided to play with the controller i suppose (he's terrible, har har).

anyway, i turn on the tv, and i'm in about hour 18 (turned off in hour 10 or so). my car just sitting in the middle of a field, everything was in a-spec ofcourse (i have no life, except work and gt4). in somewhat of a shock, i drove to the next checkpoint to see how behind i was, and... a full 27! laps behind the m3 gtr. blah, so i took a 3-4 day break, and restarted, a-spec ofcourse... =)

after maybe 40 restarts (just entering the race, exiting, to select opponents), i finally got a really fun group to go against.

1. abt audi tt-r
2. audi a4 touring car
3. bmw m3 gt-r
4. asl garaiya gt300
5. toyota autobacs mr-s gt300

this is the current running order, i'm in first ofcourse, 2 laps ahead, in hour 8 or so, this weekend should prove fun... a-spec all the way!

heres what my s/n means... more then 15 years ago i was skiing with family, and my grandfather, here (in the u.s.) from taiwan, saw me take a pass really quickly and finish at the bottom nice and fast... with his limited english, jokingly he said... "you are like... asian ice rocket.. "
 
well I guess ur sn does fit u then, if u have enough time to run that f**ckin race 4 times. shoot I barely ran it once.
