to make you understand the title up there, you should really play GT4, gran turismo 4, enter arcade mode, select single player, go to world circuits, pick the first track, the nurburgring, choose a car, any car you want, do whatever you want with the settings, but just set the difficulty to the max (10)........all thats left to do is race agaisnt better cars driven by AIs that have perfect knowledge of the track, and not to mention perfect racing line, of course with perfect steering, acceleration, braking......bla bla bla. win that race, then its either the car you chose is superb, or you should try out the real track one day.
today is teacher's day......and all i did was wish some teachers, sit outside the hall for i dont know how long, injured my eardrums, but the best part was when i got back, i switched on my ps, adjust my tv setting that always sets itself to default everytime i switch it off, take the GT4 disc and play. i've been trying to win that particular lap for three days, THREE DAYS, and third time's the charm eh?
yeah, its hard, and thats why im so syok sendiri-ing now. the road is bumpy, the other cars weigh 200kg lighter than yours and have extra 200 horsepowers, and being AI, they know exactly when the next corner is coming........but me, heck, i had to memorise the whole lap.....you cant see where the next corner will be, and when you can, you'd lost your apex point, you jammed on the brakes, your car goes into massive understeer or oversteer, and you'd be hitting the wall. thats not all, the inner side of the corners always have these small red and white bumps which means you cant turn in too early, because when you do, the moment your wheels touch them, you'd lost traction and your car would go like a crazy dog. those sand traps and mud traps are such a pain in the ass if you get stuck in them....its taking forever to get out.
how i come to memorise the track? i have to complete the whole lap in under a given time with some shit mercerdes clk something which goes insane when you steer too hard without, WITHOUT getting all four wheels across the stupid road line at the sides, banging any wall, or hitting the safety car in front to pass the license test. yup, you'd have to do that....and do it again in the next test without that stupid and slow safety car and you are given a mercerdes evo clk, which is a very good car with unbelievable abilities despite its looks.
so going on the same track isnt so bad, until you found yourself racing against other cars, really fast cars! the first time i tried to race like in the 1st paragraph, i chose the chevrolet camaro LM edition, and no, its not bumblebee! its a front engine, rear wheel drive racing car, with heavenly handling.....one of the best handling cars in the game, trust me. it corners just like when you want it to, no oversteer, no understeer, and the best part, you can trust the brakes more than yourself. this is a car which you can drive into a hairpin, and brake only when you see the wall coming to your face, you'd panic, you'd think your doomed, you'd think your dead, you'd be wrong! if i can really drive that car in real life, i can do 200km/h on the road without any fear of running over any old lady crossing the road, the brakes can stop the earth from spinning! so yeah, the car was great, and i won the race......160 something points. but that was last year.
few days ago, i got this amemiya RX-7, which is originally from mazda, and has a rotary engine, so theres no pistons in this car. the result.......lighter engine that produce more horsepower despite its capacity. the new rx-8 with its 1.3 litre engine can produce 200 over horsepower, a saga with its 1.3 litre engine will struggle to reach half of that. amemiya is a tuning company that specialises in rotary engine, so thats why its got the name there. i got the car, with 300hp something, race against the alpha romeo, the mitsubishi fto......and i won too. like the camaro, this car is a front engine rear wheel drive car, and it handles like a neuro surgeon. i can overtake another car just before entering a hairpin with the rx-7, that is something! the brakes too, are incredible, the traction is like glue, the cornering is never too late, you can enter any corner at any speed, but just dont hit the stupid bumps at the sides because when you do, this car goes out of hand. after countless time doing the lap, finally i won that too. teacher's day some more. buahahaha, best teacher's day ever!
by the way, happy teacher's day to everyone, hmm, ok, almost everyone.
