linkinstreet, do you have any links to download car setup?

Just start playing '99 season last night, using Hakkinen's car. 3 races, 3 retirements: 1 accident, 2 suspension failure.... i was going fast in a corner and the suspension failed.... bye bye road.... hello wall

Still getting use to the game, i've played Grandprix Challenge and GP3 before. There are some parts of the track in this game that i can go alot faster in other games, but somehow i couldnt do it in this game. Probably needs more time to set up the car

That's my 04, 05 and some older season setups. also, you might want to recheck the "Failure" in the option. the default is time based. which means that your car will fail according to time. change it to "Normal". this is more realistic as the car will only fail if you really damage it.

my best race was winning the Monaco GP with a damaged suspension. i was veering left all the time after that. thank god it's hard to pass in that circuit. i hold up the whole pack behind me

then wat is opposite lock asst?

if ur car need opposite lock to stabilise it, it will do it automatically.

Thanks guys for the help..

Guys, correct me if I'm wrong.
Since I'm just start learning about cars.
(Thanks to Gran Turismo though..not much but at least it teaches me stuffs
about cars)

The more RPM a car has...means it's faster or accelerated quicker correct?
I see that in RH2004,Williams BMW has the highest RPM 19050.
Ferrari 18950.

How to know the max horse power (hp) of certain F1 cars?

linkin,
when you did 1:29..you use wheel correct?
Full aids?
Braking point assistant?
Manual or auto clutch & gear shift?

With Williams BMW Montoya, I manage to do 1:32 only.
Could break 1:31..that's it.

Can download setup and other stuffs here.

linkin, thanks alot for the setup. Felt so much better driver the car Got pole but crashed in the race while leading

i've always used keyboard, and GT4 sucks as a car simulator. they don't give you half the knowledge of real car racing. Barking point will slow the car down heavily during straights, don't use that. like I said, NEVER use the analouge controller, it just don't have the same travel as a real steering wheel.
Higher RPM don't mean higher speed. Monty only won 1 race in 04 if u remember. the car balance is much more important (The Williams 04 is one of the heaviest car). like I said, find a car that u're most comfortable with and you just use that.

i beg to differ, do you actually play GT4 or other GT series before? GT is a driving simulator not a racing simulator. In GT, they have license test that teaches you how to brake, how hard to brake, where to clip the apex of the corners and so on. The one thing the game didnt teach you is how to set up your car, because it is down to personal driving style.

Hahn,
which circuit did you race?
Are you online all the time?
Wish to race with ya.

Abot GT4, dunno bout that but I learn a bit about tyres though.
As well as other components of a car.
Super Soft Tyres best for qualifying and best for 2 lap race.

Remember I mentioned my tyres totally worn off on the 3rd lap?
I bought the Soft tyres instead of the Super Soft...I won the race

Maybe I'll buy a steering wheel.
Quite expensive.
Besides, a bit lazy to drive manual cars
Loves auto though.

Don't know how Senna could drive manual F1 car in an F1 race.
Changing gear with the right hand and racing at the same time
Such expertise.

Hahn,
any other racing simulation cars out there that you would recommend?
I mean the best sellers and all.
Especially close to F1.

I think once I bought the steering wheel and learn to drive manually,
then maybe I'll be able to do quick lap.

I recall that on certain corners it took only gear 2..but I brake until gear 1 to
took the corners...that's where I lost a lot of fraction of a seconds.

Hard lorr to learn to drive manually.

Gran turismo. what i meant by suck is that the physics are not real. IE the tyre worn out toooo fast, even faster than real life. For example, a 24 hour lemans race car tyre would last up to 7~10 hours, depending on the type, while in the game, it lasted just 4 laps...... even the hard ones
also the aerodynamics are wrong. a real race car usually have MORE downforce at the front, so that it would not understeer.
even the brake balance seems weird. IMHO, there are many things in that game that i just don't feel right about.......

for Yusri = rFactor is a good racing sim too. also GTR and GT legends.
if you want more challenge, try Grand Prix Legends

when u brake hard into a corner, example, left corner, ur front left wheel will auto lock while ur right wheel will keep on rolling... this is to make ur car sway to the left so u can brake late into a corner...

Those are some serious accusation linkin.
Did you email the guys who develop GT?
What did they say?

Any games out there that has Ayrton Senna in it?

yusri : checkout the Console Couch board (Playstation sub forum), we have monthly GT4 lap time competition. This month is El Capitan. Nope, i'm not online all the time, but i would love to race with you guys online.I'm using my office laptop to play F1C so if you guys playing online on weekends, i might go to starbuck here to join you all

If you have the money, invest in DFP by Logitech. It works both on PS2 and PC. The price may be a little bit high, but its worth it.

As for similar F1 games, on PS2 give Grand Prix Challenge a try. On PC, my other fav F1 game is GrandPrix series by Geoff Crammond.I used to play a F1 game but couldnt remember the tittle of the game; the opening intro featuring Hakkinen (CG) at A1. In this game, you can choose to play in helmet camera view Oh, F1 World Championship is good too, if you can find the game

linkin : yup, tyre wear is unrealistic in the game, but you have to understand the limitation of PS2 computing power. imho, most real racing cars tend to understeer, it lets the car turn into a corner better, but again, it is down to personal preference. Break balance can easily be changed plus you can put ballast in the car. I have dvd of the making of gt4; in that it shows how Polyphony Digital gathers data from cars.

yup, not everyone like GT, but i learn alot from playing GT and it helped me in other racing games

Enough on GT , i've been testing a lot at Albert Park in a McLaren. Do you guys have to lift the throttle to take the second corner at Waite?

Maybe I'll check the El Capitan out.
Stopped a while playing GT4 coz been trying to set fastest lap in F1C.
Unless I buy a steering wheel and drove it like Ayrton Senna, then
I wil never set the fastest lap.

LYN GT4 TIME ATTACK PART 4 * 12 El Capitan <-- correct?
My fav. car at the moment is Honda NSX 97..invest a lot of
money for it.

A lot of regulations hmm?
