Anyone fancy a GT5 Prologue Challenge

fatty5000 · 15-09-2008, 22:54

I think it's time us PS3 owners had our own event.

Myself and Mr Pinner have had idea which is along the same lines as the eggbox challenge laid down by our resident God himself.

I'm thinking fuji speedway in the Msport 1 series, simply because it's car most off us should have as it's a freebie iirc.

Any other suggestions for cars or tracks are welcome, so feel free too rubbish my ideas, if you got a better one.

It will be run on a time trial lap in one arcade mode, as per the other thread ideas for TC, ESP, ABS are all welcome.

"show 'em watcha got"

I'm up for giving this a go. Show's how much I use my PS3 though... do you have scoreboards?

Not sure if we can yet, there is online stats but we may not be able too group together ......if you know what I mean, I intend too have a look tomorrow evening at the finer points of this challenge

Wardy · 16-09-2008, 00:11

Think this will all start happening when the full GT5 FINALLY get released

Happy to have a punt though, on whatever terms are decided

I'm Wardy555 on PS3...

Cool, I would have a look through it now but I have a step-son asleep on the sofa atm as we have stolen his bedroom for storage.

Schern · 16-09-2008, 00:19

My PS3 gamertag thing is Schern.

fatty5000 · 16-09-2008, 00:26

I'm fatty5000 of course !!!

pittVRS · 16-09-2008, 00:30

How do you get an Msport 1 Series? Do you have to have loads of licences?

I'm Fenquil BTW.

Wardy · 16-09-2008, 00:30

It's quite a nice little drive actually - chuckable and sounds nice

Do you get it on completion of B-Class? I honestly can't remember

Steve

fatty5000 · 16-09-2008, 00:37

I just found out it's actually called a BMW 135tii Concept

DOH

Sony GT5/GT5 Prologue/Garage/View all cars/BMW/Concept Series 1 tii

EDIT.....................Cost: -- Awarded at the end of B Class Races Drive

apinner · 16-09-2008, 12:40

I am up for some of this, although i am terrible at it!

My tag is apinner of course

rapeseedracer · 16-09-2008, 18:42

Any fellow peasants with GT4 on the aged PS2? I have a time attack for you, the Blue & Gold 05' Rally WRX subaru on trial mountain in arcade mode.
Let me know how you get on!
P.S -no lightening the car or increasing the bhp!

apinner · 19-09-2008, 19:23

Well lets get the ball rolling i just set a rather dismal 2:02

fatty5000 · 19-09-2008, 20:10

That ain't bad, iirc the record is only about 1.49 I did a 1'59.977 the other night and forgot too post it up

Wardy · 19-09-2008, 20:30

Just had a go - 1.53.8 here. All driving aids off.

Woh, I have some work to do.

Blade404 · 20-09-2008, 09:58

Looks like fun, but I don't have Prologue.

I bought Race Driver Grid instead...

My tag is Blade404

if anyone wants to add me.

pittVRS · 21-09-2008, 01:51

How do you do the integra 1 lap challenge on the B class license?

I've tried it a million times and I always end up finishing 8th. Every time I'm 8th! I've tried late braking, no braking at all, adjusting the setup, wearing lucky pants, and still, I'm 8th!

Damn you, GT5!!!

pittVRS · 21-09-2008, 22:25

I've done it now, you just switch all the traction control and everything off and it's easy!

Wardy · 21-09-2008, 22:29

Did find that one infuriating myself. Wish I'd thought to try your trick at the time! Think I eventually managed to get a 3rd place in, after umteen attempts

Come on and finish Class B; then you can have a go at this!

Am I right in thinking that proper online challenges aren't actually available/possible yet, and that those will come with the full GT5??

Steve

pittVRS · 21-09-2008, 22:49

1:54 was my best so far.

You can play online, but it's just with random people, you can't chose who you play with, or start a group and send invites

Wardy · 21-09-2008, 23:00

Yes I've done the online 'randoms' challenge, but found it a bit boring/frustrating TBH...

Good time above

- my Friday 1.53.8 must have been a bit flukey - had a few goes tonight and can't crack 1.58 for some reason

Steve

pittVRS · 21-09-2008, 23:40

It definitely spurs you on to better times when you're racing though. I find my time trials times are never as good as race times.

Also Beer and GT5 don't seem to mix very well!

rapeseedracer · 22-09-2008, 21:08

Well, I've got a competition running in my department and currently they have set a 1'30.567. Make sure you cut across the grass before the start/finish line! The first two bends over the brow after the start/finish line and the bend before the tunnel can be taken flat out if you get the right line!

Tunnel? Fuji Speedway? Am I missing something here??
