"Chase the rabbit" existed since GT4. They're called "Driving mission: 3 Lap Battle".

About the differences between GT5 an GT6:
I noticed that sometimes, if you overtake the "rabbit"(that is, the leader), you will be suprised when YOU become the "rabbit". If you look behind you there's a chance that there's 2 or 3 cars behind you.
Kinda easy to happen if you, like me, uses a car that has 50/100 PP lower than the Maximum allowed. Still, kinda scary to see a Miura right on your back when you're using a '91 NSX
 
And then the A.I gives up when you've gained a certain distance. At least it's not like in GT5's Seasonal Events were the fastest car was given a 30+ second advantage :P

Oh, god. Please don't make me remind the dreaded mission 34 that i never finished. UUUGH

BTW, GT4's Driving Mission 34 is this:
You get SLR
Wait for 250 SECONDS!
Race on the Nurburgring(20km track.)
And the car's handling is poor as heck.


Overall: Your god danm nightmare. This is THE legendary rabbit chase.

That was actually better because it's more or less a fixed target that you had to achieve. The AI drove at a set pace regardless of what you did. In the GT6 races, the AI rubberbands, which makes it feel unrealistic and pointless (to me anyway).

That's the only thing I didn't complete in GT4. That, and getting the Ford Model T. The closest I got to the 300SL (or was it an SLK. I don't remember) was 5 seconds.
 
It's always a eyebrow raising moment where you set very consistent lap times and watch the car in first stretch out a lead from 10, 11 and then 12s just for the final lap to come round and suddenly he decides to lap 15s slower and let you walk past in a braking zone.

It was the 300SL. Looking back at Mission 34, I could say it was one of the events that really shaped my driving style. It's also the reason I can nail a certain part of the ring with my eyes pretty much out of focus.:lol:
 
What about mission 23 if I remember correctly.

The 6 R34s on test course.

You and the pack of 4 R34s had to work together to gain on the R34 that was 20 seconds in front by slipstreaming each other.

That was hell.

Ok that just reopened an old wound. :banghead:
The thought of going flat out and not catching up to that smug yellow R34 drove my (at the time) young mind insane with envy.:yuck:

11 seconds ahead of you, actually. And you have to stay right on the 2nd place's butt and push. The problem? For some reason, the AI BRAKES ON THE CORNERS. ON TEST COURSE

I think it's the reason why most of us can do a lap around the ring with our eyes closed :lol: But yeah, I think there is no other track I feel more comfortable in than the ring. And that's thanks to countless hours trying to gold mission 34... which I never did.

Or you have to get infront of him and let him and the others slip stream.
But yes, braking on such weak corners.

I know who did this

Perhaps my memory is lousy but I really don't remember much chase the rabbit in GT 5 before they did it in every seasonal event...

Or at least it wasn't over done to the point of it being the predominant race mode...

One of the leading things I was looking forward to in GT 6 was a break from the rabbit...
 
I quite like this, it means i can drive full force and feel like the cars are actually trying to overtake me. I often crash cause i'm amazed at how much this bastard is on my tail.

Its far more engaging than any previous GT title, almost all racing games do this to keep the player engaged.

I realize how often this is done when in some racing games i see some random person botch a race and somehow still come in first while me racing hardcore will barely win first.

It also makes me glad that i don't need to be worried how fast the cars are (or how far the lead is) since they scale like they're supposed to.

I probably should have made precise notes of this, but my memory will have to do.
I was racing a 3 lap race at Matterhorn. First lap was 1:35ish...last place. Second lap was 1:33ish...last place. Final lap was 1:15ish...I won by 5 seconds.

Then I repeated the same race against the same field and ran 1:15ish laps all race and didn't win.

Reminds me of something me and my brother used to do in FM3. One of us had an old and slow car and the other had a supercar or an LMP. Then we raced at Nürburgring, where the faster car had to do two laps and the slower car one lap. Pretty fun :)
