~~~6GC DRIFT BATTLE~~~, EVENT OFFICIALLY STARTS!! VIEW PG 4 Options

[shin]

yea. so i've been playing with my PS2 lately after i bought my new TV and since i didn't buy GT4 i'm still playing GT3. i have this idea of doing a competition with members here. so how many of you guys still have your GT3 with you? competition will of course be drifting.. we'll all pick a course... everyone drives only the 6gc... GT4 to SSII watever your choice is. sign up with their car color, rims color.. judges would be selected all the other members here votes by having a poll so the most votes gets the win.. gonna be like a ladder system... top 5... then top 3.. then for 1st place. how it will compete is by making a video of the track and post it up within the day.. 10 points total and 1 point is deducted everytime you hit the wall. if you hit more than 10 times your disqualified. winner gets the title of [6GC DK] and hopefully i'll find one of them Photoshop artist here to make a kick ass sig for the winner. so how many of you guys think this is a good idea and wanna make this happen?

kewl idea, sound slike a lot of time
and limiting to a AWD anf FF drifter is no good...

that's why it makes it tough anyone can drive a a rwd alllll day long lol. but to drift a awd or fwd... takes alil of a challange.. especially when ya wanna make it go really sideways.

[Kadett]

This should be interesting and easy to win

No really, I play GT3 and GT4 almost every day and for 1 thing only. Drifting!
Only problem is I dont have any recording tools for it except for my Canon Ixus 50 which doesn't record TV screen good (or anything else for that matter )

Do you get extra points if you do it in Gran Turismo 4 since its harder then to do it in GT3

[shin]

we could do GT4 if i have the game lol. i'm broke and don't be so confident kadett. i've been practicing pretty hard too. better start tuning your 6gc oh.. i was thinking.. other than the competition car being a 6gc.. how it's tuned is all up to the competitor. ya can drive a fully stock 6gc.. wat matters is how well ya handle it.. if ya can't control, ya ain't in control

[Rayme]

A 6th gen photoshoot competition in GT4 could be fun also!

yea but that'll be another competition.. want this to be a drifting event lol.

[Kadett]

Dont need to tune my 6GC GT-Four Its my favourite drift car in GT3. In GT4 its the Blitz D1 Drift car.

[MaskedMan]

Ok, im very interested in this! haha, but when you said "we all pick a course", did you mean, we all pick a separate course, or we all pick and agree that we all use that one?

Still messing with the settings, car doesnt handle like the stock ST205 at all. To much grip and to much braking power.

But what I find really funny is that you can alter the downforce settings on the WRC but not on the normal version. HELLO!!! Its the same body outside!

BTW how do we intend to run a track like Deep Forest or Trail Mountain, since they cant be selected from the Run&Settings menu.

race it on the leagues. don't have to be the 1st. just have to drift it well. why can't you alter it? i could on mine.

[Kadett]

Then I first need to buy an extra Memory Card, Have a 100% winning percentage and dont want to mess with that EVER

BTW your right about the Downforce, must be mistaken it for the Gran Turismo 4 version then.

[Kadett]

Just tried to record for the first time with my digital camera (Canon Ixus 50). File is about 16 megs (1 round Apricot Hill). It was just to try and see if it came out good (not the drifting skills ) So give your input, about the quality if its acceptable. Backgrounds noises are from the wind, its storming here!

Video Here

This was recorded at low settings on the camera but I want to record it on high (640x480) and then compress it to Divx/Xvid codec on the PC so its remains sharp and small size files. Does anyone here know the correct tools/programs to edit/convert/compress the avi files. New to video editing

BTW the World Rally Car is a real bitch to drift. It just has amazing grip even with Simulation tyres and 425 for 80 procent at the back wheels. Also it seems like it has some 15 inch rotors and 10 pots calipers installed . Thing stops like crazy.

lol. maybe ya gotta go easy on your brake balance controller. but i find the 6gc ain't that drift friendly compared to other awd cars like the evo or something.

[Kadett]

The ST205 is a bit more friendly comparde to the WRC version. Has less grip so you can feel when it tends to loose its backend and balance the throttle/steering to take a good drift.

The WRC however has 2 sides, it has grip or it doesnt have it . So when it goes you already have to know it is going otherwise your to late and have snapoversteer or spin around.

BTW I drive with the VCD at 10% now. Gives more power to the backwheels and with the Brake balancer on 3 Front and 8 Back its almost perfect for power/brake oversteer. Now I only need a few laps to tune the suspension and I am ready to go

in that case i'll have to take a step before you and fine tune mine tonite.

[Kadett]

Its 11pm here. Need to go to the gym early tomorrow so its bedtime for me. Keep on practising and cant wait to see some vids of the peeps here.

aite, i finally got my GT4
its silver metallic 100% stock

[chandy1986]

one little question when u guys drift do u do it with the ps2 controller or with a steering wheel and pedals? which is easier to drift with? drifting is so hard to learn in that game lol cuz i cant get thru the corner fast enough

great drift vids

[netrata]

I do my drift with the ps2 controller unfortunately . If I had a GT wheel I think it would be alot easier since it gives a more natural feel. To drift, I depend more on tires and suspension setup over HP. The stiffer the suspension to the front and a bit weaker in the rear makes it easier to go sideways when taking the corner at high speed. And the tire is where I get my grip from for control when going in and out of the corner. I go fast till I see the bend of the corner, tap the brake and steer into the corner, feathering the throttle while holding the shift lock button (L1) and right at the exit of the corner hold full throttle and control steering.

i use the controller. seems like we're getting this on. nice video netrata. more participants and we can get this kickin

[netrata]

Thanks Shin. I've uploaded 2 other vids today. One is the gt-four on Mid-field reverse using the grass to break traction to the rear tires The other is my white on white st202 celica on Autumn Ring Mini. Both cars are same spec as previous cars posted earlier.

[Kadett]

Not fair your using GT4 Its harder to learn but when you manage it it drifts better then GT3

[shin]

lol. aiite. so lets set a date. how bout next friday on the 19th? everyone gets their celi's ready and we'll get this rolling

[Kadett]

Great, you just picked a day when I have to work from 6-23 and then go to a collegue of mine to have a mini lan/game party all weekend long

So there little chance I can do anything then. Unless I take my PS2 with me and drift all weekend long

dates can be compromised. we can always change a date where everyone's comfortable with

[MaskedMan]

Sundays are good for me, or any day after 7pm becuase i work Monday-Saturday. Here is a pic of my car , i listed the specs earlier.

[Kadett]

Any evening will do except for Monday (poker night ) But still, time difference is at least 7 hours.

[shin]

Any evening will do except for Monday (poker night ) But still, time difference is at least 7 hours.

oh the event will be a full day. so everyone will have a time to post up their video so doesn't matter if it's morning or night.. as long as it's posted on that day it's all good.

i think i'm at the final stages of tuning my celi.. i was thinking 424hp ain't enough for it to faint drift properly.. it's like when i start faint drifting.. it didn't have enough power to pull to the other direction.. so i just increased it to 480hp and gave it a stage 2 lightenin.

[netrata]

I'm so ready for this Oh, is it ok if I post the vid. clip at afternoon-night? Also, I hope time difference is not too much of a big deal since you guys are ahead of me as far as time is concerned.

[shin]

as long as your post is on the same day it doesn't matter

[netrata]

Perfect, thanks.

[playr158]

so we have to make our video post on the 19th?

[shin]

well we need to all decide on a date.

[playr158]

i can try

[shin]

how bout we make it a saturday? everyone cool with that?

[playr158]

or just post your best drift video by "X" date add the link to the 1st page then go from there?

One question? Since it's 2 laps for the course, how do you upload a longer video to youtube? I was having issues uploading those 1 lap videos.

i think a 2 lap video wouldn't be larger than 100mb would it? cause i think that's the limit size that youtube would allow. compress files maybe? make it lower quality
