ALPHA...u fail geography? lol racing the US coastline would be insane....imagine how many thousands of miles that is!!!!

Yes... Imagine...

ALPHA...u fail geography? lol racing the US coastline would be insane....imagine how many thousands of miles that is!!!!

ALPHA's question to the track amused me so much that I did start to look for just how long it would be...

East Coastline + West Coastline + USA/Canada Border length + USA/Mexico Border length

USA/Canada: The 8,893 km (5,526 miles) border between the US and Canada, which includes 2,477km (1,539 miles) with Alaska...

Thus ~4000mi (already the Nurb' is looking inadequate...)

USA/Mexico: "Between October 1999 and March 2000, the US Immigration and Naturalization Service arrested 856,000 Mexicans along the 3,000 km border that separates the US and Mexico"

Thus ~1900mi (/me starts to wonder ~6000mi @ ave 200kmh... and thats less than 1/2 the track!!!

East Coast & West Coast???

http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/us.html

Take out Alaska/Hawaii and we're getting close...

EDIT:

Found this... Coastline the Atlantic coastline is 3330 km (2069 mi) long; the Pacific coastline, including Hawaii, 12,268 km (7623 mi); the Gulf of Mexico coastline, 2625 km (1631 mi); and the Arctic coastline of Alaska, 1706 km (1,060 mi)

border countries: Canada 8,893 km (including 2,477 km with Alaska), Mexico 3,141 km (~1,951.78mi )

THUS!!!

US/Canada Border 6416km
US/Mexico Border 3141km
East Coast 3330km
Southern Coast 2525km
West Coast...

EDIT - Eureka!!!

Distances not incl islands

California 1150mi
Oregon 269mi
Washington 157mi

West Coast = 2536km...

Length of 'track' = 17948km... give or take a little...

My work is done...

ROFL Damn it's ok it's just a course with the perspective of the USA country. I know it's amazing hey I like it too, but to get all Geographical and mathematical about it is way too much. Let's see give me the longitute and latitude of the finish line???. So do us a favor a just save the excitement for later. This game has gave me so many nightmares, so please don't influence more. Thanks and Goodnight to all in the Western Coastline. ROFL.

 

[franz]

If you drive around the track at average 200km/h
it takes 3.74 days

Guys, you do realize it is SHOWING what country its in.

If you go to a photo location in Japan, it will show the country of Japan.

 

[JohnBM01]

You feel so stupid, Alpha? Don't be. You're a wonderful person on here, we all make mistakes.

I felt like I died and gone to Heaven. My goodness. The video of the Bentley EXP Speed 8 and the Audi R8 are amazing. One OWN3D Le Mans in 2003, the other OWN3D Le Mans several times, as well as other sportscar races. To be honest, as much as I dislike seeing the Audi R8 win race after race, I wouldn't mind racing it in GT4. And until we see the LMP Panoz racer, I'll just take the Esperante GT1 and mod it up to take down the Audis every chance I get. You have to learn to meet opposition in the eye, shove it back ready to fight, then beat its ass.

Beacon Hill is in Boston? Looks like New England is going to get some love. I kind of wonder how PD chose some wonderful scenes to photograph cars at. If you ask me, I like Tokyo. If not Tokyo, then especially Paris, France. Maybe I could shoot a nice LMP with the Arc de Triomphe in the distance. I think that San Marcos (?) locale is sweet. Nice pictures, but still can't wait to finally PLAY the game.

 

[hellnback]

GILLET: Glad we gave you such a laugh...

franz: 3 days 17 hours 44 minutes & 24 seconds to be precise

McLaren F1GTR: Yes, we realised it was a country map, I just got TOO curious to what the length would be had it been...

JohnBM01: Sorry, if it seemed I was ridiculing ALPHA, I wasn't, the majority of their posts are worth reading, heck I know what it's like to have those kinda memory voids, maybe they can catch my next one...

~~~~~

It just goes to show that this game has been delayed too long, people start looking too hard of the limited new stuff that gets released in the hope they discover the 'next big surprise/hidden until now feature' of GT4...

 

[guimauve]

17,000 kms, huh?

I wouldnt have a problem with it...if fuel consumption wasn't in the game.

(Picture the Ford GT...afte 17,000 km. You'd pay the price of the car in gas.

There's a video of them!? You must show me John.

 

[DeltaS4]

Finally the video from Audi R8 that works in my computer!!! Thanks. Could someone make list of confirmed le mans cars because there is lots of them?

 

[Alonsomania]

it's the 92CP Nissan.

99,9% sure!

 

[Sambert]

Here are the majority of prototypes/group C/GT1 cars we know of.
Note:
-the XJ220 from GT3 may have raced in the GT class.
-don’t forget the GT40

 

[JohnBM01]

Samberto, I'm curious. Where is Torquay (just asking)?

McLaren F1, my boy... I was referring to the video in the first post, and talking about the little racing history of the Bentley EXP and Audi R8. So if this is the video you're asking me about, that's what I was saying.

 

[DeltaS4]

Thanks a lot! All all from the left picture (real cars) confirmed?

 

[Alonsomania]

it's weird the Toyota has #3,in other GT games it has #1...

 

[GT-one TS020]

All I can say is that this is really good news man!!! 👍
also after watching the movie I hope they dont mix the cars like using old group c´s with new gt´s...but thats only because Im after realism

 

[wee_man]

Samberto, I'm curious. Where is Torquay (just asking)?

It's in England. Cornwall way, so South West....like miles out the way and a bloody nightmare to get to! It's easier and quicker for me to get to Scotland then Torquay!!
Is Torquay actually in the Cornwall part or Devon part.....I'm crap at geography....I thought Yorkshire was Wiltshire....:/

Great find and vid 👍 ! Though has there been any confirmations (as in like pictures and video) of the XJR9? I think it was Cerberaman (was it?!?!) that rang Jaguar and they said it was in.

 

[GT-One Lover]

it's weird the Toyota has #3,in other GT games it has #1...

...yeah but that was wrong cuz the car with the advert "ZENT" had the #1 and this car has the advert "ESSO ULTRON" and had in reality he #3 as it is corrected now in GT and that´s a good new! 👍

...ok i would like to see the ZENT car more than the ESSO but the ESSO got 2nd at LM and the ZENT unfortunately made an accident with a very slow car (i think it was one of the GT´S--->Porsche GT2 or Viper GTS-R...)
...so it´s correct that the ESSO GT-One has #3....

and what abot the TS010????...well guys i think it´ll be in GT4 cuz think over 700Cars and we now see Bentley ´03(and ´02 is also there hopefully) and audi R8 from ´01(and here the 2002 model is there, too--->cuz this car is just tooOO famous to be left out!!!)...and after the 89c there´s another group C nissan--->i didn´t see it yet but i hope it´s the rather GOOD lookin R90C:

and what about the TS010???..it´s---for me--- the best lookin group C car!!!

hope it´s incuz there´s a TS020 and TS010 shouldn´t be missing!!!!!

 

[JohnBM01]

Keep in mind, 700 cars can mean anything PD can lock up and present in its glimmering racing game franchise. GT1, I appreciate your love of old-school Japanese racing prototypes, but don't get too greedy there. I have a feeling that there will probably be the biggest number of race cars in the GT series. So we can see almost anything.

And not to bring up another topic, but I'd want to race that Model T. A fact is that I've never raced any car older than 1960 in a game. But as the saying goes, "there's a first time for everything."

 

[GT-one TS020]

but the mercedes electric car (or something) is even older then model T...also imagine if they had an championship with only that car and you drive 50laps on every track in the game with them...yikes!!

 

[McLaren]

Thanks John.

IT's a shame so far that the Panoz LMP car hasn't been shown yet.

IMO, they should add the Panoz Q9. That was a racing machine!
