Grand Turismo 4

so wtf are a spec and b spec points for..... what do they do exactly, anything???

coz i have like.... 6,250 a spec and 4,941 b spec points

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

A-spec points dont do shit... however there was a rumor that the drivers helmet changes colour (convertibles) after so many points. It's more of a braggin right thing, as well as a good gauge as to how difficult a race will be (maximum of 200points per race).

B-spec bob however turns into a better driver, the more b-spec points you have.

As for all the other points like battle etc.... no idea

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I used the toyota minolta CV-88 (or sumifin like that), finished comfortably.

3x speed will get you done in well obviously 8 hours, but you have to man the controls for that cause the 3x speed turns off after every time the car pits... so your probably best to leave it for the 24 hours and go for a cruise or whatever....

[Topaz]

hmm, I don't have any supercars...I can't even do the last 10 race event in the Professional League yet , I don't have a fast enough car

where do you get the Minolta?, it better not be a the end of the Professional League

[**JaR**]

use the " nissan fairlady z lm concept "( won in the all japan gt championship from memory), thats all i used and it did it ezy, overlapped the car coming second 6 times, by 3x speed u mean "medium pace" yeah??? i left mine on 4 ( increased pace ), and my b speccer driver killed them all

and once u win the nurburing 24 hour u'll get the f1 car, use that to own the bitch ass super cars in the gt world championship, i at first used my toyota gt one car ( 1011hp to a 700kg car.... oh yeah ), it won it origonally but jst, now i have the F1 i cheat and use that, it kills them all lol

[JnJ]

welll lets face it, the r33's are rubbish... hehehe

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

dude sif 33's are rubbish u know that they can kill 32, and 34 actually any high class cars can eat any cars it all depends on the mods u know?

now to refer on this thread, well the cars do understeer in the game and its supposed to be based in real life. Lets say the MR2 is supposed to oversteer however it understeers. In my own opinion the creators of this game made the Stability Control separated(oversteer, and understeer) unlike in GT3 where its all in one spot. So therefore jst simply put the oversteer on 5 or below and take the understeer off. This setting should help you drift. And also jst fix your suspension settings to hold ur drift. And trust me this does work =) even though one of the stability control is on thats jst the way it is. Take the traction control off as well.

cheers, yeah I have got that Fairlady....but I have also got the RX8 LM Concept and myself got a faster lap around the Nurb with that

But I didn't think either of those cars would be able to take the 24hr rac, anyway, I will give it a shot

cheers

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

to get the minolta you will need to do the El capitan enduro, it's only a "short" race and in that you can use most road going cars such as a zonda or RUF to decimate the competition.

they do trust me, like i said, thats how i won it

the cars that run are cars pretty much in the same category, usually jgtc type cars, the race sounds like cars like the supercars would run in but they dont, dunno why but meh, its a pretty ezy win ( thank god for b spec )

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

i have both of them, but whenever i race those races ( ones you cant use race cars in ), i always use... my mercedes clk or my R34 GT-R midnight purple III special edition, its tuned so it owns even some of the road going super cars

[Topaz]

OK i raced the 24hr Nurb competition with the fairlady and was over 1 minute ahead after 2 laps....

I am thinking of taking a weekend and racing it myself....to join the very limited membered club
