Gran Turismo 3/4/5

[Kaphias]

Anyone own/play the Gran Turismo series? I personally own 3 and 4, along with a driving wheel/pedal setup. I've gotten about 80% of the way through 3, and really all that's left is most of the enduro races. It's hard to find 2-4 hours to sit down and drive.

 

I play 4 a bit more actively, with about 97% of the game complete. I also hold the international time "record" for the Infineon Raceway Stock Car Course, a real road course track used by NASCAR in Southern California. [link] I think that's pretty cool considering how popular the game is. I'm placed 8th for the Infineon Raceway Sports Car Course, which is the more popular layout, used by the IRL and a few other series.

 

 

 

I'll leave you with a few in-game screenshots: (yes, you have to tilt your head for a few)

I've played 3 a long time ago when I had my ps2, but now I have the new one for the ps3. Its pretty fun, I just wish the full game would finally come out. I always forget when going from GT to Forza about the different damage system it always screws me over when I jump from game to game.

If you have indeed completed most of GT4, perhaps you can suggest a car for (cant remember name of track, just an oval) endurance race? I always end up getting owned in the rear and end up like 10 seconds behind the guy in 6th place after the first lap.

 

 

 

Now, I havent played in at least 6 months, so I cant really remember what car I had. LOL.

 

 

 

From what I can remember I was about 50% complete with GT4 and I think 80% of GT3. Great series, really made me get into cars.

The Polyphony F1 car works great for the oval Although it's top speed is slow, its gets through the corners very fast, It's what I used to complete both GT3 and GT4's oval enduros. Otherwise a fully upgraded Suzuki Escudo. (Super fast, mediocre cornering)

Ewww... The Escudo was horrible. I mean having 1800hp after fully tuning it in GT3 was nice, but hell it couldn't even make the turns at Test Track without braking half the times for me.

 

 

 

If you need a good, cheap endurance car, just look for an S-class car (the true racing cars). If you want a trick, what you need to do is just keep doing the Super Speedway 150 (I assume we're talking GT3) with any fast vehicle (I think everyone else uses street cars basically) and keep doing it until you get your F-1. Then you have a car that will dominate anything else.
