Then it's 118 secs behind in PAL versions. Hehe...:p

Anyway, you wanna have a more difficult time? Just wait 5 more secs. ;)

But the 118 secs wait is irritating indeed, wish they just let you start immediately with the 300SL having a 118 secs advantage.:)
 
I gave it a try after watching the video, and I have the 125 second verson. Kind of pissed me off, but what ya suppose to do?
 
I would honestly rather the faster version.

I done it after waiting 10 secs and done 9.17.179 when the 300SL done 9.16.300, I should have cought him but I cought the damn SLK while coming off the long straight and I couldn't really get passed without hitting him, so waited and overtook when he brakes and overshot the 2nd last corner :crazy:

Still, was alot more fun that doing it from the usual time.

That's weird, you might want to take another look. I thought mine was 125 secs too. The timer starts at 125 seconds but the SL doesn't actually take off until 123 seconds. When your car is released for the chase it will be exactly 2:03, translated 123 seconds. 👍

So, the things I read about the Japanese version being way easier than the PAL and US NTSC versions is just ridiculous.

not sure for GT4 as they supposedly tweaked the pal version for once..so as it's not slower than NTSC but.....
PAL versions of GTs where harder because of the clock time being obviously the same but the NTSC game was running faster because of the 60hz
licenses target lap times could be the same but your PAL car was still running slower compared to a NTSC car....
made test with many games including GT1,2,wipeout,street fighter,etc.... at that time on PSX it was obvious you where going much faster on NTSC games and the result was shorter lap times...
it's something you can't judge by the target lap time but by the times you can actually achieve in-game...or best way is to compare NTSC and PAl versions on two tvs side to side which is what we did at a friend's house with the PSX.

I read somewhere that some US games where made harder than Japanese or PAl ones because you have the possibility to rent games (if not then what I read on some website was crap lol) and so the games must be hard so you can't finish them fast enough lol always amde me laugh don't know if this is true tough....
 
I've almost completely given up on a lot of the missions...

I've actually beaten pretty much every single race and gotten all the licenses(though not 100% gold). I can't find anymore races to do... I think there may be manufacturer's race for which I can't find the required car...

I wish there were more races... I see some people on here trying to beef up their B-Spec to beat some race... well my B-Spec can beat any race in the game that lets him race.

The game's races were far too easy... I didn't even know about nitro until I had beaten almost all the races(everything is in Kanji and I can't read it with my crap quality TV) but now these faggot missions...
 
Frst where are you from? i know you can rent games in both the US and Uk, cant speak for anywhere else, but i highly doubt that has anything to do with how a game is designed
