I've been using the 22B fully modded, but hard to resort to using a LM race to for the hard tarmac rallies, but now i'm onto the dirt and snow stages, i just can't get the drifting right. I know you can bounce the back end about to help, but that isn't everything.

Any help is more the wanted!

I used a delta S4 and Impreza 03 (I think) WRC to do these rallies (both with turbo mod of course). It took some time and bouncing the back off of the walls helps loads

Not done them on GT4 yet, but on GT3 I used an R32 Skyline with about 500bhp, brakes and dirt tyres

Impreza 03 Rally Car with bigger turbo.

Goes like the clappers and on the dirt surfaces you can get past your opponent straight off the line. Then it's just a case of keeping ahead - try to make your car as wide as possible so the only we he's gonna get past is by going over the top! They're not that hard once you're in front - the key is to pick a passing point on the track and stick to it - don't try and get him at the first opportunity, you'll prob. end up with a 5sec penalty. The opponents have a habit of making their first lap their best one, they tend to slow a little afterwards.

I bought an Evo 8, lightened and fully modded up to >500hp probably much the same as your 22b. Got me several of the hard medals, but it's too powerful on the snow and wheelspins constantly. Tried doing the lap in 2nd/3rd only to eliminate wheelspin using manual gears but I'm no good at that

For the tarmac stages the "Suzuki Escudo dirtcar" (or something like that IIRC) was a great laugh and did the trick (900 hp or so), though that was actually a prize for one of the hard tracks. That car is loooonatic fast on the dirt. I love those dirt rally stages that criss-cross the El Capitan track. The snow stages are horrible however.

i havent botherd with the hard rally stages yet

the last few nights i have spent soley on autum ring with 482bhp, comfort tyres and the driving force pro wheel

How do u sustain drifts in GT4 on tarmac? Is it just a matter of turning off the oversteer and understeer aids, or have understeer aid on max, so its really tail happy. I can never keep a drift going It always snaps to violently back the other way n sends me into a spin. Rear wheel drive obviously, but I cant seem to get anything to drift properly unless it has a large wad of power, always understeers everywhere

StickyMicky

do you use a steering wheel and pedals?

about 4/5 days ago, i set about learning how to drift with a 4wd in the game
its starting to pay off now,

if you spent 3/4 hours every night for a few days in your real car you could probably "drift" that as well

practice makes perfect!!

when i drift i firstly "fient" (sp?) then nail the throttle to swing the back around, the throttle is then featherd as needed and the steering wheel is mostly centred, i dont tend to wind on lots of oppisite lock, i found that made it to unpredictible?

a few decent laps while drifting makes you feel so proud

Woohoo - won the Escudo!

It now sits at the top of my 0-400 leader board @ Vegas - 8.7secs, beats the F1 car by about a second...

Nope standard ps2 pad only. I just cant do it, htf do u do it with 4wd, they just understeer. I'm no driving game novice either, but whenever I have a go, its either a short drift, or its a spin I've tried the left n right sudden movement, braking at the wrong time to unbalance etc n they just drift for short periods.

messiah

Try using that Takata NSX for drifting - very tail happy.

messiah

Not got GT4's Viper yet - was expecting it to be a prize car in American Hall...

Haven't played GT3 since I got 100%

messiah

So you've yet to unlock the horror's of endurance & extreme hall then eh?

messiah

Our lass goes to bed at 11ish so I normally get an hour at it before I "retire".

Or you can just say - "watch that eastenders ****e upstairs, this is my telly". Crude but effective.

Extreme hall is where the fun begins, I though GT4 was a bit too sanitised until I saw what was in there. F1 championship, 15 event championship series starting with 78 (yes, 78) laps of Cote d'Azur, then 127 laps of Super Speedway - also taking in 15 laps of the 'ring & 23 of Le Sarthe... 3m credits prize + 100k per race win. Oh yes. I'm leaving that one til last...

Whilst mine sits in the lounge watching all the soaps and cr4p on TV, I sit in the 'games' room on the consoles ( although not touched GT4 since starting Resi Evil4 )

messiah

I just realised my Sony telly can do 2 channels at once - I think my percentage rate might be getting a bump up shortly

StickyMicky

my lass lives 330 miles away so she hardly has a say in what i do with my spare time
