Hmm, maybe you do not know this, but the nurburgring is a very high speed track. The F1 car cannot compete agains the group C cars there I think!

The F1 car cannot go above 350 kmh, or the wings must be extremely flat, so less to 0 downforce is created. Then the group C cars are faster on the straight...

Just as Le Mans, F1 cars don't have a chance there either.

Uhhh... I'm sorry for being extremely rude, but it's very evident that you don't know anything about racing, or F1 cars.
Top speed certainly isn't the most important thing in racing (unless it's an oval). Despite the Nurburgring being very high speed, and F1 car can out accelerate, and more importantly, corner at much higher speeds than any Le Mans vehicle.

An F1 car is quicker around the 'Ring and Le Mans, not just speculation, it is. This is the problem will people who don't know very much about racing dynamics, top speed is only one part of the entire package, not the most important part, which is handling dynamics.

Just do a search (I couldn't be bothered) and you will find a video of the F1 car going around the 'Ring with a time of 5:08 (and it isn't the quickest that car can do, either).

So just remeber, top speed isn't the only thing that is a deciding factor on a track like the 'Ring, or Le Mans, handling, acceleration, and braking power is much more important.
 
Off topic but could you please place an video of bonnet cam on the Audi R8(that Le Mans car) at Nurb or Le Sarthe.plz plz 1 lap at one of these circuits, i would really, really appreciate.

Wrong, it has high speed corners, and thats what the F1 is designed for, so its not long high speeds(oke there is one) STRAIGHTS, so the F1 is the best car for Nurb

The colours

polyphony-f1.jpg

I want the Blue/black one or the silver/black one..or both
 
jzz30degogo
I won the freakin purple one... I hoope i win the white one in the formula championhip

If you're playing an import copy, it'll be black on black with no sponsorship decals. 👍

If you're playing the American copy, you get a Sauber C9. :lol:

So, can anyone please provide pictures of all the colour combinations of the F1 car in GT4? I know this would be a tedious task, but I am really curious to see which colours you can get...


I was desperatly looking for the same thing. And I came across www.gt4pt.qn.com
Where they have a lovely combination of all F1 Cars. However it looks as though GT4 only has one model of F1 vehicle. Still Its gonna be HOT!!!
 
Majarvis
Same performance figures as the rest, only difference is that it's black.

Have you actually seen one yet? If so, where can I get one. I've got a blue and white and a solid white, but a black one would look great in my garage!

Black is the prize for 100% in the NA version
 
jlosordo
thanks, I have some work ahead of me.
You think you've got some work.... I'm only at 28%...

I won the blue & white one in the Nurburgring 24h... I really want the black one, too! Now I've gotta wait till around the summer time for me to finish the game...
 
I finally finished the Nordschleife 24hr, so you can imagine my absolute excitement when I won a ... green and yellow F1 car. Of all the colours it had to be that one! :crazy:
 
You think that even if we race the Nurburgring 24hr endurance race like 10 times, we would only get the yellow and green ? Or do the colors alternate?

If anyone knows this please let me know.

Also, can we win the prize cars more than once in endurance races? Where is it that you can only win the prize cars once?

Thanks :)

There will be somebody somewhere (probably here) who after owning GT4 for a long period of time, will have EVERY prize car in EVERY different colour. I suggest that Famine is a dead cert for this

Every GT game I've had so far I've been able to get EVERY car(not all colors becuase the garage was not big enough)
GT2: I had EVERY car but not enough space for more(I still have 20,000,000 sitting on GT2) :)
GT3:Every car and almost every color(again not enough space)and with only about 6,000,000 sitting there :indiff:
GT4:Working on it,I'm going to get every car possible...Current status:only 427 cars(only??) :dopey: :) :dopey:
Maybe I should just do that 900,000 dollar race over and over 💡 :)

Seriously erroneous assumption :scared: Nascar is a small town and country (redneck states) thing. Big cities have nearly zero interest in it. Most of us do know a few names of F1 drivers :thumbs up: while knowing zero drivers of Nascar. I wish F1 and LeMans would be more popular in the US. :smile:

Nice assumption followed with yet another one.. LOL

Im from Mt Croghan, South Carolina. Rand Mcnalley doesnt even mark us and there is one stoplight.. a gas station.. and thats it.. Its not really even a town. Its a community. We are 1.5 hours from Charlotte, North Carolina, which is a pretty big city and also has a Nascar Motor Speedway. Its not wrong to say a lot of people around here enjoy Nascar, but to say 'a small town and country(redneck states) thing' was no better than what Darts said.. I'm not trying to be on the defensive and I'm certainly not offended its just that each time I travel I get to hear 'YEAHHHHH BO, We GUNNA GET 'R DONE IN A NASCAR" or some babble thats assumed I'm really into. Personally I'm into F1 and INDY and I think NHRA (drag) is sooo boring. I live 5 minutes from a drag strip and have to put up with that every Sunday. I don't think it would be too over the top to say we love things that go FAST, but you'd be surprised how many around here *don't* like Nascar. It's just the TV networks and endorsments cram it in our face around here cause NC/SC is the 'heart' of Nascar. Theres no catering to open-wheeled racing whatsoever unless you have cable/satallite and just happen to catch it on ESPN replays. As far as rice-mobiles around here and upstate a bit? Thats a whole nother topic ... 👎

Yes, you 're right. My mistake :dunce: But I was simply surprised that people outside the US may think all Americans like Nascar. :rolleyes:

👍 Now that's entertaining :cool: I agree with you.

Too bad...darn TV networks need to get get creative and open up a little...there are other sponsors beside beer companies :cheers: Just look at all the neat sponsors F1 cars have 👍
 
I've actually got my B-spec driver running the 24-hour Nurb again right now. So far I've completed the 24-hour Nurb race 3 times and gotten the same color EVERY FREAKING TIME (the white/lavender one)! :grumpy:

That's odd :dunce: I got the yellow -green :crazy: F1 the only time I've run it.

Are you Japan , Europe or NorthAmerica version?

We have to figure this out :guilty:

I'm NA version, and I'm gonna do some 24hr Nurb races next week and I'll post here what the results are. Let's hope I get another color.

In Japan they get an F1 every time they wint he F1 championship in Extreme, and it seems that it changes color, so let's hope our 24hr b-specs are worth it 👍
 
maythe colors depend on something... if you for example use a certain car with certain mods twice, you'll get the same color...i don't know...

oh, and sth else: when you wind the Black F1, then you can select from 11 colours in arcade right?

Once you win ANY F1 car (Nurburgring 24 hours = only way besides 100%, but you have to finish the race to complete 100% anyway), then you can select from all colors in arcade.
 
I am running a 24hr Nurburring right now with a different car. I'll let you know if I get the same yellow-green F1 car. :scared:


If anybody knows about this for the NorthAmerica version please post and tell us what happened to you or if you have won a different color than yellow-green.

I should just ask. 💡 ..has anyone with the NA version won the 24hr Nurburing and won something OTHER than the yellow-green car? Let us know :cheers:
