So I popped in my copy of GT4 and took a spin on the nurburgring in a Opel Astra Touring Car '00. I cranked up the difficulty to max and went at it. I had five bobbles, minor, and over those two laps (in arcade mode) I managed a 13'13.490. Not impressive, but a solid time.
So basically, if you've got a copy of GT4 and want to throw down the gauntlet....let's do it. I plan on trying to get a better time for two weeks. So you have two weeks to do this.
There are only a few parameters.
1. It must be done in a stock opel astra touring car '00.
2. You can only use the quick tune options to adjust the power, weight, top speed, driving aids, transmission, and tire type.
3. You can use any tires you want, though obviously in arcade with a 2 lap race you want super soft tires.
4. It doesn't matter if you win, just your two quickest combined lap times for a given race. No seperate races with great individual lap times added up. Just one race. I say it doesn't matter if you win because GT4 likes to throw in those insanely fast unbeatable cars from time to time...like the last race I was in....guy crushed me by 12 seconds while I finished in second 9 seconds ahead of third....
5. You must get a picture of the two combined times. It's easy to do this, just save the replay and when you do at the top of the screen it will show the combines lap times, snap a picture, profit.
Any questions? If not go at it. It's an easy challenge. I'll even send the winner an original copy of wipeout from the PS1 (big cardboard box and all), my prized Rufus Griffin action figure:

As well as a VHS copy of Waynes World, and a DVD copy of Spaceballs. Maybe I'll throw in some other random shit too....who knows.

One more thing, post what your quick tune settings were, and if possible snap a picture of them too. It's not necessary but it will help some people understand differences in performance....possibly.
