I don't know what was wrong with me. I could not hold a line if the tires were glued to it. I wrecked twice and ended up crossing the line--on the second lap--at 8'15'4xx! I was so frustrated I had to stop playing.

Both times I crashed were due to unexplainable rogue stoppies while braking through the corner entry on a couple of left-handers. I was definitely not pressing forward on the control stick, so I have no idea what was going on. I'll get home tonight and do some 7'30-ish laps to get my hopes back up. I was suckin' bad!

i have/had those random stopies. usually what usually happens to me in fast corners, ill enter too fast and get on the front brakes then the rear end lifts lending to ... a crash. the game doesnt like it when you put sudden, sharp inputs into the brakes and turning at the same time. just roll off the throttle slightly sooner and use smoother inputs. ive not lifted the rear wheel since then unless ive rushed the entry into a corner.

I wish I could get my replay/flash drive thing to work right. I had a wicked save on that same lap. Sharp right hander over a little hill, got air, touchdown..bike was going nuts, it almost went down and I just threw it into the next corner and it made it through somehow. It was pretty sweet.

ive had some weird saves there. ive saved low sides where the fairing was dragging along the ground :erm:

ive got a replay of a zx10 rm on the high speed ring, in arcade mode, where on the last corner, you can see the dude leaning to the right, the pegs scraping, in the process of lowsiding, trying to pick it back up, and unbelievably i manage to save it a turn a decent lap time, i think it was a
1.10.xx or so. when i get my shit together, i will post it up...

Skizit and callaghan, what probs are you guys having with the USB replays?

im having money and time problems...lol

nah, i just need to get to the store and buy a flash thingy and a new mem card, as i have one for just gt3 replays, one for gt4 replays, and both of those are completly full, (just 8 kb left on the gt4 card.) this weekend i will get the flash usb thingy and try to upload some stuff.

callaghan - do a search before you buy your usb flash drive. not all will work, but, any that work with gt4 will also work with TT.

i know theres a big list of do work/do not work at the gtx gt4 sub-forum. (www.granturismox.net) but, youll probably have to run a search to find that thread.

argh! the 8Hour bikes are starting to annouy me now. more than half the time at the first jump, ill land even then the front will shoot up. and as soon as the front lands the rear end kicks ups.

ditto that, that is the exact reason i stopped riding this track for a while. i couldnt find a good compromise between good handling, and stability over the jumps/bumps. none of the other tracks are this bad, but the nurburgring is as bad as they get.
