Quote: fark this gran turrismo unrealistic game. Play a real driving simulator. Any of u guys played Grand Prix Legends on the computer? No, but i've played Grand Prix 3 on computer with microsoft force feedback steering wheel/pedals. Very good game, however I am yet to play a car/racing game with better feel than Gran Turismo even though I think you can feel the car alot better in GT2 than in GT3. You definately dont get much better than Gran Turismo dude.. other than the real thing. Another awesome game of its time was Papyrus IndycarRacing.. that game was awesome. Would definately still play it. Peace out neegros. Ollie

I'm surprised none of u have ever heard of it. Its a game based on the 1967 formula 1 before they had any aerodynamic aids. I strongly advice anyone here to buy it. Its a game where u need a wheel and its not for your arcade style racer. Its been rated as the best racing sim ever. Everything about it is based on actuall real driving. U get a clutch, u have to back of the accelerator when u change gears, u see ur suspension coils moving when u go over bumps, when u lock the brakes u can't steer, hit the wall at 300km/hr and theres nothing left off ur car, etc. Hahahahaahahaha u think Gran turrismo is realistic 8O 8O Ever thought what might happen when u hit a wall at over 300km/hr in gran turrismo. Hmm not even a scratch. Look i think Gran turrismo is good just gets a bit tedious with so many races on the same tracks. I've got Gran turrismo concept as well. Although u don't get as much power out of the cars nor do u get to do them up the game is quite a lot shorter and gives u enough races without taking it too far. By the way i'm not trying to start an argument so please don't take this the wrong way.

Myself, u can download the demo at this website www.papy.com/gpl/gpl.index.html Theres thousands of websites deticated to the game so maybe do a search for them. The game is worth buying takes months before u can actually drive and keep up with the opposition. i Think the demo is at watkilns glenn which is an alright track and i think u get a lotus, brabham and eagle to try out.

Which model skyline are we talking here?...R32...if so, get all licenses, win a few endurance races in it, then buy an R34, you will easily be in the 1000 hp regions and u will be pulling 9.1's 8)

GMH-GEM: Quote: chamber angle front 3.5 rear 1.0 why so much front camber dude ?? take them all back to 0.0 the more rubber on the road in ur 4wd for launches the better. If the car is rear wheel drive, 0.0 degrees camber on the rear, and maybe 1.5degrees negative camber on the front, possibly more. Try and run as little downforce as u possibly can. And adjust ur final drive so that u rev right out in the final gear almost as u cross the line.

Quote: why so much front camber dude ?? cause i didnt no what it was put them both down and pulled a 9.445, with downforce the front is stuck on 0.29 changed the rear to 0.35 and pulled average times bit above 9.445, put it to 0.60 and the same, so it's on 0.47 atm, what dou suggest i run it at? I go across the line in 5th at about 7500rpm with 2.500 final ratio should i put it upto 3.500 as it was.....? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
