I am trying to resist today as i am off work supposed to be doing DIY, it is sitting on the stairs unopened at present - i don't think i can wait much longer - just going to have to get it out my system very sooooonnnnnn . . .. . .. . . arggghhhhh right that's it im going to go and try it right now !
ORIGINAL: Diver944
Sad git!
I did exactly the same thing [] Switched it on, selected the Ruf Yellow Bird and selected the Ring.
9:01 was my first lap, 9:50 my second
I did a 10:39 "sighting" lap in the 106GTi then a 9:53 in the yellow bird. i think I need to learn it in something with a bit more grunt than the 106 but avoiding the bwaarp, bwaaarp, bwaaaarp, screeeee, bang of the Ruf.

Get yourself a mans game then like Grand Prix Legends for PC (under a fiver at Amazon), much harder, much more realistic and you can join the online championship racing every Tuesday night with other 944 owners (I've been trying to challenge these guys for years now [
])I have to admit I thought GT4 was going to have an online multiplayer mode, but I can find no mention of it in the manual [
]. If someone finds it, let me know and we can have an online Ring race
I think they dropped the on line play or it would still not be finished, my copy has now been dispatched and should be arriving tommorow. On rennlist they were talking about online play. I wasn't paying a lot of attention but apparently it is possible but a little tricky to set up, it basically replicates the station to station link (linked play) but over a network so that the PS2 thinks it has another PS2 next to it even though it could be thousands of miles away.Some extra hardware is required and I am not sure how fast the connection has to be.
As my PC is supposed to be for work I try and keep games off of it.

8.54 on the fiorst lap then 8.48, and that was very sloppy driving, being the first time n all.
RUF TRB
had to switch it off again though, i was going blind and back to the DIY now (apart from this wee update of course)
TOCA race driver 2 is far better than GT4 from a switch on and play anytime game point of view, i did 84% in 2 weeks though and am stuck now. GT4 should have damage on it, it's too easy to go battering of barriers and then drive on, that's where TOCA RD2 wins it for me.
GT4 is going to take months of playing to master the tracks and new tracks, as it is a far more realistic driving game than TOCA RD2, just let down by no damage and no online gaming, although you can still link it up to other stations, or if you've got it modded you can trick it into thinking there is a network game in place and play almost online in different locations. Still think it's better to have your competion sitting in the same room so you can do the victory salute as you beat them []

9:03 in an RS4. I really thought I'd break the 9 minute barrier but not quite. As it is my bill for Armco would be sizeable if it was real, but I guess my life insurance would be paying it anyway in that case...
I can see how this game could become seriously addictive. I love the rising wind noise that comes in about 80 and builds to a rumble over about 120. I am also amazed how realistic the sensation of speed is; 60 actually feels quite fast at some points and as for 160 that really does remind me of what it would be like to do such a speed on, say, the M62. If I'd ever done that which I haven't, of course. No.

Hi Guys
Going to pick up a copy over the weekend and keen to try the 'ring. Does it have any other good tracks we may find at trackdays eg SPA. I have been using TOCA2 (PS1 game, pants graphics) for some of the UK tracks as TOCA Race Driver 1/2 have a limited number of UK circuits - great for a pre track day warm up! Nothing seems to have the likes of Goodwood, Castle Coombe, Bedford etc - unless you know different.
Might even get a new console - has anyone seen any good deals on a PS2/GT4 package with other games or steering wheel?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
