(I searched for this and didn't see it anywhere.)

If you're having trouble qualifying first (due to certain opponents), or having trouble getting 1st in a particular race, do this:

During qualifying, once you pull out of the pits, stop. Wait for that specific car. The fastest car has always been the first, second, or third car to blast by me coming out of the pits. Once you see that car, gun it. Stay behind him. Before the practice lap is over, SABOTAGE that car's qualifying lap by bumping :ouch: him from behind when he slows down for a sharp turn. That will knock him all the way to the back of the pack once you qualify first. :)

Yes, yes, I know. Not very realistic or even very strategical, but the only time I've used this so far, is in the GTWC. I was in the Minolta Toyota race car, and there was another Minolta Toyota race car that would always qualify second. A couple races, he beat me (though not enough times for me to lose the series).

*shrug* Poor sportsmanship at its finest. :yuck:
 
not a very fair way of making challenging races.

kinda like that one race where it was a V6 MR clio vs I4 FWD crapboxes.

i had an I4 FWD myself but i barely won because i tuned mine.

or the damn pro tuning races where the opera S2000 rapes everything (especially on R246 where you need enough tuning to kill whatever a-spec points you could possibly hope to gain)
 
Well, no it's not fair. But it helped me for the Suzuka course. That course just ticks me off! :grumpy: So I just made the other Minolta eat sand. :) Really helped 'cause I could go easy on the 9-lap course. By the time I'd completed four laps, I knew the course okay.

This is the sort of trickery my dad uses to win races.

I would suggest learning the track. You have no idea how to drive Suzuka after 4 laps.
 
For shame! :D Not that I really care though, but that's REALLY underhanded of you.

In your situation, with the Toyota 88c-v(Minolta) in GTWC, you need to practice. I say this because if after 4 laps you know the course significantly better than before, then you should have expected to have trouble.

To each his own I guess...
 
Its not the AI car's fault that you're slower than it is. If you can't qualify first cleanly you obviously need to work on your racing ability.
 
lol i agree with kennythebomb thats the kind of thing my dad would do, just to beat me. changing the subject slighty, none of my friends are any good at gt4 so i have no clever (well not clever, ill say human) people to race with!:dunce:

but back on the subject no i dont really agree with that tactic. Just learn the curcuit. while i learn how to spell lol :crazy:
 
You have to go to practice.

Or another cheap qualifying strategy is to fit a big ol' turbo for qualifying, qualify first. Then remove it for the race. All the qualifying goodness without the low A-Spec points.
 
The AI would happily smash into you in the same situation.

I only learned Suzuka after ridiculous amounts of waiting just so I could do the JGTC NSX for whatever # mission. Every single wait time all i thought about was the best line and when and how much to break. Now it's one of my best tracks.
