This has proved a popular thread on many forums so I thought I'd give it a go on here!
For those of you who own a PS2 and a copy of GT4, read on......
The idea is that each week a track and car are nominated and over that week forum users try to do their best time around the track using that car. Proof of times is made by posting a screenshot and the winner at the end of the week gets to choose the next car and track for the competition the next week.
Basic rules are as follows:
1). The GT4 disc is to be loaded in the PS2 but NO MEMORY CARD inserted.

2). The challenge is played in "Arcade" and in "time trial" mode.

3). The nominated car is always to be set up as follows in the "Quick Tune" menu:
Power set to +20
Weight set to -10
No driving aids
Whatever transmission you like
The softest tyre compond available for that car

You then try to set your best time around the track using that car. You then post your best time on this thread for others to try and beat. The thread will begin each week at 2359hrs on the Thursday. It then runs until 2359hrs on the following Wednesday when the times will be listed in order and the fastest time gets you the honour of nominating the track and car for the next round. Times must be proved with a screenshot including the TIME, CAR and TRACK in the shot. You must post a picture to have your time counted at the end of the week. NO PIC, NO TIME. If you win, you will have one day from the close of the last round at 2359hrs on Weds to 2359hrs on Thursday to choose your car and track otherwise it will be chosen by the 2nd place finisher. The idea is to have a round each week and end up with a champion at the end of the year.
Although this relies on a degree of sportsmanship it must be agreed that competitors will not:
A) Grass/corner cut
B) Wall ride on corners.

For those who don't know how to post pics, you can host pictures using www.photobucket.com by uploading them from your PC for free. You then use the "url" given to the picture on their site to post it on here. PM me if you have trouble.
I will start to ball rolling and nominate:

MIDFIELD RACEWAY (NORMAL)
"AMUSE" S2000 R1 '04.

Have fun!!!
