Favorite dirty trick

[brudus_maximus]

We all know you've done these so fess up

My favorites would have to be hiting a car from behind from high speed when coming up to a turn to slow you down and knock the car into the wall/sand. My other favorite is hiting the side of a car in a turn.

Are you sure Gran Turismo is your game when you need to use dirty tricks?

 

[LILAL]

i dont mean to start some kind of rant of anythink but i have never seen the point in this kind of tactic. if that was used in real life you and the car infront would be out of the race.
theres nothing wrong with touring car style scraping and i admit that sometimes the AI to tend to get in the way a lot of the time.
especially when they brake way too early but anyway..
if this is what you use to win your races in GT4 then i think you need some more practice

or you need to go back to where you came from
(need for speed)

I agree you shouldn't use any "dirty tricks". If you want to be competitve and want to become a better driver, you need to drive as good as you can without "cheating" and knocking the other cars off the track so you can win. That's not the way I think. To be honest, like in Toca Race Driver 3, you should receive damage for what you do, or even a penalty like you get in the Special Conditions Hall.

Yep, bad choice of topicc.

I can't say much considering my first post on GTP, but many of us have learned that racing without dirty tricks is considerably more fun.

 

[hucker696]

Sometimes I crash the AI out of spite,after they have crash into me.Call me a poor sport but I am smiling while I do it.

 

[GT40 MKII]

weeelllll ill admit ive gotten mad at the AI a few times and theyve met the front end of a very big very black very bad a** dodge ram.

 

[WallRunner]

I Have Only Did That Once, on Mission 8 (i think, the jtgc car one) other than going the wrong way when playing with my sis

 

[Moxy]

I don't see why everyone's getting so eat up about this post. Remember, It's a GAME, people buy it to have a laugh, that's why it's classed as ENTERTAINMENT. Anyone who takes it so seriously as to actually have to avoid the AI 100% needs to get out more.

I wouldn't say what I did was a dirty trick, but it wasn't nice for the AI driver and I was amused by what I had done.

When I was in the 1000 mile race, in my '63 Vette, I was destroying the competition. I chose the Vette in hopes of racing the cobra, not to destroy the fiels. Anyway, After lapping the competition several times on the ring, I decided to help out the little last place fiat 500r down the final straight. I tucked my front bumper on his back bumper, and gunned it. Pushed him well over 100mph. Then came the turn. I made it with ease . . . he on the other hand disappeared somewhere in the grass.

Now was that dirty . . . Probably.

But I didn't need to do that to win. I was just having some fun in a long race series.

You're in for a rude awakening when you play GT5 with damage.

 

[Master_Yoda]

I don't need tricks, i'm always a good 5-10s ahead

 

[Dr.AK]

Well, I for one don't use any "dirty" tricks when racing against the AI.

But if I'm racing against a friend in a split-screen battle, we're both pulling off every dirty trick there is. Pushing each other from the road, suddenly braking when you're in front so that the guy in chase crashes into you or swerves and runs off the road, sometimes even poking the other player in the ribs to make him loose concentration and all these stupid things.

I try to never use 'dirty tricks,' but the other day the inevitable happened. I was in an NSX-R racing a SL55 (200bhp more) on circuit de la sarthe I. On the corss country section after the mulsanne straight the SL55 cought up with me, but rammed me straight into the gravel trap. So I got hot on his tail, and then attempted to boot him off the track. Didn't work too well though due to the massive weight difference. Still, I just won, but would have won easily it hadn't played a 'dirty trick' on me.

LOL that's true...ohh and BTW "Moxy", we know it's a game and all but, if you notice, "the real driving simulator" is the phrase below the title, so in my opinion, it would be more entertaining to get better at the game by winning cleanly you know....and be more like "racing like in real life" just like the slogan says, and not by making such a great game like GT4 look like just anyother racing game (i.e.:NFS or Midnight Club)...still playing without cheating is harder and therefore MORE EXCITING 💡

Before GT4 came out all I heard about was the damage in it,so I won't beleve anything till I see it.

 

[fulcrumdriver]

The AI deserve it. They've given me far too much anguish, bumping my car into the sand or invoking the 5 second slow down, to deserve an ounce of mercy. I'll start respecting them when they start respecting me

My favorite 'trick' is to knock the nissan le mans cars into the grass or sand and put them in 4th place, giving the rest of the field a fair chance. I'm like their savior until they get in my way.

 

[FAOLIU05]

I always do it in the Special Condition races if I have a really under powered car. I get the points, money, and prize car pretty darn easily.

 

[Jay]

I don't need tricks at all but sometimes I like to mess with them, like getting just in front of them and applying brakes slowly so they are pushing me then I stand on the brakes until I almost stop them. Sometimes on long straights like Le sarthe II when I have a high powered car I get behind them and push them to see how fast I can get them, always gives me a chuckle

 

[Supercar_Killer]

mmm, never needed to use dirty tricks, they are fun though, but i think that qualifying needs to be included in every race cuz its annoying getting stuck behind the pack on narrow tracks

 

[Moxy]

I don't use dirty tricks unless 1. The AI do something to me 2. I'm in a underpowered car 3. I'm doing a race for the second or third time to get the prize car. I didn't mean in my previous post that I smash the AI to bits all the time.

 

[Famine]

All other arguments aside:

The AI deserve it. They've given me far too much anguish, bumping my car into the sand or invoking the 5 second slow down, to deserve an ounce of mercy. I'll start respecting them when they start respecting me

Is spot on.

Where it matters - OLR and the like (basically anything where my time must be submitted for public viewing) - I'll avoid the AI and, if I want to, I can do it with ease, but they won't avoid you, so why repay the compliment?

Besides, if you want the A-spec points maximum, you'll need to grind doors.

Favourite trick? Whatever works at the time.

Speak the truth brother

 

[Leonidae]

I don't use dirty tricks on AI drivers, since they're too stupid to block me. but they really do annoy me, especially when runninng after 200 A-spec points, they usually end up either leaning on me or hitting my cars corner so I spin out. then I usually go berserk and hunt them down mercilessly in order to gain those point which I was about to earn honestly till that *insert your favourite insult here* AI refused to move an inch from his line so i could had passed him cleanly..

 

[T4 GTR]

Hmmm, I don't think these tricks will work on the special conditions races as time penaltys exist. Also I wouldn't try that in real life racing. But on GT4 who cares!

My most effective one was not bothering to take my foot off the accelerator at all after the flat out left hand kink at the end of the long straight at Nurburgring, near the end of my plentieth attempt to beat mission 34. I didn't feel like coming second by a half a second again, so I just kept the boot in until I lost control. By the time my 5 second penalty was finished I was still doing maybe 100mph (backwards) and had punted the 300SL so far off the circuit that he only finished third.

And before you ask, the answer is no: That was the first time I completed the mission and I have never attempted it again, because this mission was not what I personally would call FUN, and as has been mentioned before, games are supposed to entertain. If I was really dedicated to making this game as realistic as possible above and beyond the laws incorporated in the game itself (eg. cars bounce off solid objects rather than crumple against them, engines never ever blow up, brakes never fade, AI is Satnav guided), I would stop before the start / finish line and wait 15 seconds before completing every lap so that my lap times would be a true reflection of what I might achieve in the actual car on the real life circuit. Come to think of it, 15 seconds may be an optimistic view of my own skills.

Maybe this isn't quite so dirty and ramming, but I now use Nitros defensively even if there is no way I would need it to win the race. I always set the Nitros to the Max for each car, and then, when I get lined up to pass, I squirt by the AI car using Nitros. This way, I get knocked off the road far less often. I was simply sick and tired of the AI cars running me off the road when I'm passing them by pulling into me.

 

[Mt. Lynx]

Well, not really dirty tricks, more for fun... I sometimes get bored when doing enduranceraces, so I start stalking the AI - who are lapped - and try pushing them in to the pits.
