Well new diary, new game. My first run through, 99.8% complete, was mainly an opportunity to open enough of the game to have access to tracks and cars for online/other racing. Now I am feeling a continued need to pickup cars and explore individual races in greater detail. This diary will chronicle that journey.

I will pursue the following goals with this game:

1. 100% completion.
2. All gold license tests.
3. All gold license times recorded for license tests.(ala Player2)
4. Prize cars in all available colors.
5. All cars available in arcade mode.
6. Max B-spec Bob.
7. Any other things I may think of.

Feel free to post any comments...... but no mentioning of my sanity.

I am now up to 597 cars available in arcade mode with 308 available by era. Pretty much down to just the prize cars left(missing the Fiat 500L that I know of.) so I am going to back to working on my game.

I think it will be interesting to see where everyone is at at this time compared to one year from now. And me too.

We just finished a fun little 25 lapper race at Swiss Alps in an arcade Hyundai Accent Rally Car.

Rallying is getting better but it is not easy to take being 10+ seconds a lap slower at Swiss Alps than GT3.

My time:

1'31.025 (19.291/40.576/1'02.723)

My replay can be found at the GT4 Obsessions link in my signature.

Returned to compiling my game and finally conquered one of my nemesis in a way anyway.

IB6 and IB7 are a couple of the hardest tests for me but I managed 10 golds on each this evening and it took awhile but not as long as I thought it would. Only 36 license tests to go.

For what it's worth, I hate cone slaloms too. At least the Ruf test pair at Complex String in GT3 was tolerable.

Sweet Success! After my recent success with S16 and AI15(I have run about 16 seconds better than gold time here.), I decided to go back to my other GT4 save and try for 100% completion and my 'black' F1. I was sitting at 99.8% complete with only Driving Mission 34 left to conquer..... and now I can say...... A shiny new 'Black' F1 car now sits in my garage! Yeah! Whew! That was tough but I just beat the last car to the line, I think I was able to actually run fast enough to win easily, but my last little bit was horrendous. I was all over the place but I managed to avoid a penalty and the final Mercedes, and stick the nose of my McClaren in front at the line by two tenths of a second.

Uh! Actually it is not, the full set of arcade cars runs over 700. I have yet to win any prize cars races in GT-mode and there may be some of the used cars that I have not picked so they may not be open in arcade mode yet. But I am striving to achieve all cars available in arcade mode.

Actually it is the second time I have beaten Mission 34, the first time was announced 12 posts above this one and in the Driving Missions thread. You must've missed it.

IMHO the easiest of the Special Conditions Events are the races at Swiss Alps, maybe because I am very familiar with the track, or it might just be the most fun.

Sell Value: 31,874 Credits
Color: (White/Red/Blue)*

Notes:
I drove a used Nissan Silvia Varietta (S15) '00 for the first three Swiss Alps Races. You need one with some miles on it so that it comes with black oil and checks in at 149hp. I added all non A-spec affecting mods(so no weight reduction) and purchased all power mods that are removable.

Swiss Alps Easy Forward(Varietta):
The Renault 5 Turbo and the Toyota Celica 2000GT-FOUR (ST165) '84 yield 200 A-spec races if raced with no upgrades at 149hp, for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR '97 add NA2 + ROM + Sports Muffler for 199hp/200 A-spec point win and aganinst the Audi Quattro '02 add the Semi-Race Muffler + ROM for 161hp/200 A-spec win.

Swiss Alps Easy Reverse(Varietta):
Again the Renault 5 Turbo yields a 200 A-spec point race at 149hp, for the Ford Focus RS200 '02 and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III GSR '95 add NA2 + Race Muffler + ROM for 205hp/200 A-spce win, and for the Subaru Impreza Sedan WRX STi Version II '95 add NA3 + Sports Muffler for 221hp/ 200 A-spec win.

Swiss Alps Normal Forward(Varietta):
The Ford RS200 '84 add NA2 + Racing Muffler + ROM for 221hp/200 A-spec win, for the Renault Clio Sport V6 Phase 2 '03 add NA2 + Semi Racing Muffler for 195hp/200 A-spec win, for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV GSR '96 add NA3 + Sports Muffler for 221hp/200 A-spec win, for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI RS T.M.E. add NA3 + Race Muffler + ROM for 237hp/200 A-spec

Swiss Alps Normal Reverse:
The real rally cars start showing up here and the Varietta can't handle them so you can hold out for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV GSR '96 and add NA3 + Sports Muffler for 221hp/200 A-spec win.... Or switch to the Mitsubishi CZ-3 Tarmac car and show them whose really the boss. The Mitsubish Lancer Evolution IV Rally Car '97 and the Ford Escort Rally Cars are both too much for the Varietta and too weak for the CZ-3 but if you get the Lancia Delta Rally Car add 170 ballast to your Mitsubishi CZ-3 Tarmac car for 230hp/200 A-spec win and against the Subaru Impreza Rally Car '99 add 180 ballast for a 230hp/200 A-spec win.

Swiss Alps Hard Forward:
Against the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Rally Car '99 add 135 ballast for 230hp/200 A-spec win, for the Subaru Impreza Rally Car '99/ Subaru Impreza Rally Car '03 add Sports Muffler + ROM for 251hp/200 A-spec win, for the Toyota Corolla Rally Car '98 add 135 ballast for a 230hp/200 A-spec win, and for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Rally Car '03 add Sports Muffler for 241hp/200 A-spec win.

Swiss Alps Hard Reverse:
Now it gets very interesting as you can come up against the Lancia Delta S4 Rally Car which would be unbeatable if the AI could drive, luckily they cannot drive. With Turbo 3, Race Intercooler, Race Muffler, ROM and a bit of luck, the S4 can be beaten. Against the Lancia Stratos Rally Car '77 add Sports Muffler and 200 ballast for a 241hp/200 A-spec win, for the Impreza Rally Car '03 add Sports Muffler + ROM for a 251hp/200 A-spec win, and for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Rally Car '03 add Sports Muffler for 241hp/200 A-spec win.

I tried to give the maximum car that can be used and still yield a 200 A-spec race. Many of these races can be won with less car if you want a more challenging race. And there may be a few other opponents showup but theses scenarios should cover most of them and minimize the number of race reloads needed to get a race you want to run.

Moving on.

The Yosimite I races were tougher but they have now fallen in the 200 A-spec hunt. The Varietta was able to conquer the first 4 races and the CZ-3 finished off the hard races. The car matchups have not changed much over Swiss Alps so I will not duplicate that info here. The Swiss Alps info can be used as a guideline.

I also ran the first two wet races at Tsukuba where the Varietta prevailed on easy and the CZ3 conquered the normal race. But I need to get something with more ponies to tackle the R8/787B.

And.... Just for fun because I love the track soooooo much, I took on the Super Rally cars at Tahiti Maze/reverse in the Tahiti Rally Hard races. The CZ-3 needs full mods against all but the Renault Maxi 5 Turbo Rally Car. And the Renault is the opponent of choice, I used the CZ-3 with Turbo 1 + ROM + Sports Muffler and an 80 ballast setting. The Renault gets off the line slow so it is easy to get ahead and stay there. Stay to the inside and you will keep it behind you and if you are smooth enough you can even pull away.

My FF crusade was sidetracked a bit by my excursions into the back country, but I returned last night to finish off the final two races. The race at Motegi was one of the more difficult so far and I was a bit rough with the AI but no more than they have been with me on many occasion.

Next I took my Miata S Special did a bit of sport tuning(ROM, Sports Muffler and NA1) and polished off the FR races. It was too easy actually. So I have now run 31 races at 200 A-spec points for a total of 14,700 A-spec points.

Hmmm! Where to go next?

Been awhile so I will update a bit. I have been playing around in several directions by picking up a few of the Prize/Car Colors I have been missing. And.... I got a bit frustrated trying to get wins in the 4WD event in the Beetle so I had given up there and just picked up the wins and the corresponding prize cars. While in that vein I finished off the Begginers races in the same fashion just picking up the wins and prize cars. With miko's fine discovery of the Element I went back and tackled the remaining SC Easy races with it and now have 200 pt races and every prize car in every available color for those races. I got the feeling that the Element might also be a nice car in the 4WD cup and I find it eaier to run there than the Beetle picking up easy wins with little tweaking at all venues except Fuji. Fuji required a bit more work than the others and a bit of, "my car all of sudden looming a bit large on the very long straight".

An interesting note for me is that in my first run through GT4 I achieved only 23,000+ A-Spec points. I did a large amount of B-spec racing with B-spec miles being about triple my A-spec miles plus at some of the races I obviuously just wanted them "over". I am currently at 17.8% completion and I have 20,400+/- A-spec points. Quite a contrast there.

I need to pick up one more Toyota Triathlon Car in the 4WD cup and then I will probably go back to the SC Hall.

Thumbs up to Lugs for his progress there, I too have been thinking that total 200 point completion may be possible there also. But that Paris race will be a tough one.

I am now upto 627 cars in Arcade mode.

I got a bit frustrated with trying to 200 A-spec the SC Hall so I ripped through some races to get to 25% completion and be able to run in the Endurance Hall.

My GF has been having alot of fun racing the various Miatas which got me intrigued doing some long distance close racing. I was wondering how many A-spec points you can get out of the Miata Enduro and how close of a battle can you put together. After a couple of days of testing I ran this race:

Roadster 4hr Endurance: 145 A-spec points

Mazda Miata J-Limited '91(Used) @ 108hp and 200 kg of ballast. With S1 tires on the front and S2's on the back I had even wear front to back during the race. The leftside tires wore a bit quicker than the rights but I was able to run for 28 laps between pits for a total of 6 pitstops for the Enduro. My main competition the 1.8RS pitted 4 times, about every 40 laps, most of the Miatas seem to run about the same pitstop stratgy, but........... and, I did not keep track of the other cars but I am thinking one of them only pitted 3 times as there was one Miata that pitted way after all the others.

My Field:
1.8 RS
SR-Limited
S-Special Type I
VR-Limited
V-Special Type II

Notice no 1800RS wich is only worth about 10 A-spec points and runs laps around 1'10 which requires too many A-spec reducing mods to beat and no '89 or '91 miatas wich cost you about 5 points if they are in the race. The 1.8RS runs laps in the low 1'13 range at its best and the other Miatas run mid to high 1'13's.

My best lap was 1'12.455.

I won by 35 seconds but it was much closer racing than that as my 1.8RS competition did not deal with traffic in the second half of the race very well. Through the first half of the race I was down by 2 seconds and not sure if I could actually win. But once the 1.8RS and I started lapping traffic I was able to pull out a bit and then gradually increase my lead.

There might be a few more points available with a bit of tweaking but I am happy with this result. I did try Normal tires but the decrease in performance did not seem to offset the A-spec point gain. I also experimented with all of the Miatas with the thought that one of the heavier ones might be the way to go but they seem to have to many ponies under the hood. A possible candidate may be the 1600 NR-A if you run it until the oil is black first. I was going to try that also and put about 2000 miles on one only to have it drop a couple of ponies, so that may be a project for a later day.

The following tabulates my GT4 endeavors to date, from an A-Spec points perspective, across the whole spectrum of racing available in the game. I did not initially go in search of high A-Spec points but rather was in search of competitive AI racing(an oxymoron I know.), but it does kind of go hand in hand so I though, “Why not?”. I will update this chart as my game progresses.

Notes

1. Nitrous has NEVER been used.

2. A question mark (?) indicates that I either cannot remember the car I used (Alzheimer’s) or that I cannot deduce the car I used based on mileage,

3. A-Spec points shown may vary depending on the competition, tires used and / or car modifications made, but it shouldn’t be too difficult to figure it out. Remember that in many races it is possible to get a ‘tougher’ or ‘easier’ field by resetting the race,

3. I almost always use all non A-spec point affecting modifiers and many times even tuned the cars to make them more drivable. Some are a bear to drive with full ballast.

4. I tried to use minimal power modifications but….. Where power modifiers were used it should be obvious in the context of the overall series points. And you can check my diary for more car spec information. (plug!)

5. Ballast is used often to enable higher points. If you experience point values significantly less than shown here it is a fair bet that ballast is the cause.

6. Further details of AI, car set-up & modifications and race detail can be found in my diary (double plug!)

7. I tried to drive realistically and to OLR racing standards in all races but was willing to fight back in the SC Hall races where the AI leaned on me often and heavily. Also many of the races were one shot runs so so there was occasionally some incidental contact or an off.

8. Thanks go to Miko for the use of his wonderful chart and the many car analysis and suggestions he has supplied and to Lugnut for his car analysis and suggestions.

Well Beginners Events are now complete except for a few A-spec points that may be available but I do not have the motivation to chase after them for now. And if you are wondering about my low score at MR Fuji, I am beginning to hate Fuji now, it seems that my toughest races occur here. It is a lot of work to pick up the A-spec points in the MR cup, so I will leave that for another day.

I did manage to emulate Lugs and pickup 121 A-spec points in the Truck races.

And I have all Beginners race prize cars in every available color.
