The All-Inclusive Racing Sim Thread.
This thread was originally something else entirely, but I guess some of you (read:all) people don't like The Nurburgring Nordschleife and for that I give you your own opinion. This thread is more welcoming now.
Since Gran Turismo is not the only racing sim anymore, I've decided to include everything from Gran Turismo to Forza Motorport and everything between. This is not limited to console titles, either. I've decided on this apporach because the Sim scene is filled to the breaking point with titles and to only include one is just stupid. And so here is my proposal.
Since there are so many racing fans and so many racing games, why don't we have a thread to have fun and talk about our experiences with certain cars on certain tracks, as well as issue challenges and compare tuning setups?
The only rules are that we don't exaggerate our times in any game and we make sure to list what game, car, and course we are taking these times from, so as to not confuse people. Sounds easy enough, right? Good.
This is also a good way to see the differences between the titles and their levels of realism. Seeing one person's times varying from game to game should be good enough, right?
So far, my lowest time in Gran Turismo 4 is:
7'05.198 using a Nissan Skyline GT-R Vspec LM Limited '96 with 740HP/6800RPM and weighs 1278kg on the Nurburgring Nordschleife.
A car worth noting in Gran Turismo 4 is the Caterham Seven Fire Blade '02. Mine weighs in at 335kg with 280HP/10450RPM and it's fully tuned. It's easily capable of sub-8'00.000 times on the Nurburgring Nordschleife.
