Track Hint : Gimli ...

 

[Nero9]

It's either Costa di Amalfi or Cote'd'Azur.

 

[easyasashii]

None of them !

 

[Nero9]

Opera Paris.

 

[easyasashii]

Nope ! And when you post your guess, could you please explain the reason why you chose this particular track ? Any link to the track hint for example... thanks !

 

[Detroitbb]

I Googled 'Gimli' and got hits pertaining to a J.R.R. Tolkien character that is a Dwarf.

Dwarfs are small in stature, so I'm assuming that this track is 'short' in some manner.

Cross-checking the TAC leaderboards with my 'short' theory yields a number of potential courses: Autumn Ring Mini (forward), Beginner Course (forward and reverse), Motorland (forward), Seoul Central (forward and reverse), Twin Ring Motegi Super Speedway, and Twin Ring Motegi West Short Course.

I would assume that the Beginner Course and Seoul Central would be the most likely targets as they haven't be run in either direction.

My guess is Seoul Central.

 

[easyasashii]

That's a very good start Detroitbb and thanks to put some thoughts into it ! You missed something very helpfull :

Gimli is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium, featured in The Lord of the Rings

 

[Lion-Face]

Autumn Ring Mini be my guess.

I guess after Detriotbb's detective work (good stuff Detriotbb, as I was stumped ) then I would say the next biggest clue would be 'fictional' character, so that would leave Autumn Ring Mini and Motorland being the most likely two left......but I'm no good at these things, so that'd be my guess. Heck, I initially thought it was gunna be a rally track lol

 

[easyasashii]

Autumn Ring Mini it is ! 👍 (Lord of the Rings !)

I'm updating the thread right now !

 

[Nero9]

Damnit, i had a hunch it was going to be Autumn Ring Mini.

 

[alaingeronimo87]

Here it is. Can't upload the image, though.

 

[Detroitbb]

Autumn Ring Mini!

It should provide a bit of a challenge on N3 tires!

 

[rpr101]

i want to join this time attack because the 2000gt is one of my favorite cars i just hope i will be able to have the time to do it however..

We'd love to have you join us!

 

[Peter]

Finally got to share wit hsomeone, so now I can actually start doing these again. I'll have my division qualifier up soon.

 

[Detroitbb]

It'll be nice to have more competitors, PJ!

 

[Fuchur]

here we are..

interesting combo. first i thouht toyota with no chance but.. after some labs i run 50.xxx with both cars! 👍

very different handling.

 

[rpr101]

i just ran 49.xxx with the toyota 2000GT

 

[Detroitbb]

I did 10-12 laps per car and achieved a mid-49.xxx for both the Alpine and the Toyota. The hardest part for me is not moving the PSP's nub too far in any direction... or else the cars spin out!

 

[lukeconnelly]

This will be my first Tac. My psp memory was wiped out recently so I won't be able to compete in all challenges. First times are around 52 seconds with the alpine

 

[alaingeronimo87]

It must be pretty hard drifting and regain control using N3 tires. Still, I'm getting used to it.

 

[Eric Demory]

I have managed to get a a time under 50 seconds in the Alpine A110 1600S '73.

0'49.721

But I did not manage to take a screenshot, for I do not have a camera on this vacation in Philadelphia, nor do I have FRAPS installed in my PSP 3000.

 

[alaingeronimo87]

What about the Toyota 2000GT? Did you manage to try it out? Mine spun out and ended up in a ditch on the third corner every time.👎

 

[Eric Demory]

I kept passing days to get one of the two, but it took me over 20 days for one of these cars to appear in the showroom.

 

[alaingeronimo87]

Too bad it's considered tradeable too....

That's ok for now... the competition doesn't end until this coming Monday. The ghost replay data is the most important aspect followed by a photo of the Ghost Replay information screen (from the XMB).

Did you use the 'go into a race screen and back out' method? It's a bit of a pain in the ass, but at least you don't have to do a race/time trial to skip a day.

That is what I did. Good thing the loading does not take as long as the other GTs.

 

[Fuchur]
