Everyone, lets go racing and post our times!

So I have the actual game but you can get the "demo" of Grand Prix Legends.

Since the demo version only has Watgens Glenn we should all base our times off that track. You get a variety of cars too, however if you have the actual game, they make mods to let you do '63,'79, etc. rules along with the smaller motors like the 1.5L they used. I say we use whatever the game comes with which is I think '68 3L. I know it was the big motors without wings so its kind of challenging. It gives you a selection of difficulty level, choose Grand Prix (the hardest one). We want to see motors blowing up and parts breaking, none of that baby no damage stuff. So choose whatever car you want and then set it up however you want. We're doing best times so if you want to go out with 10 gallons of fuel and try then go for it, if you want to do 1 lap on 1 gallon and hope to get a better time, go for it.

 

To do a screen shot of what your monitor is displaying hit the "Prnt Scrn/Sys Rq" key which is to the right of the F12 key. Then open up Microsoft Paint or something and do ctrl+v to paste it. Save, upload, share.

 

This is the best I've done (I'm J. Barnard):

 

PS: It really helps if you go out and get yourself a wheel and pedal setup. I have a Momo wheel and I like to use the stick shift rather than the paddles. If you don't have a clutch pedal, you will have to lift off the throttle as usual and just shift. This kind of sucks because I think its the cause of why I blow motors so quickly... They only seem to last me 20 laps and then something happens. Who knows, it works though.

 

A little bonus video thing... I made it a couple of years ago so don't laugh at ANYTHING.

 

Just skip like the first 3:40 because I have no idea what was going on....

Hey, that looks pretty cool. I'm in!

Goodluck beating 1:06.27... :/ I set the car up to what I like and played for 2 hours. After I hit that time I couldn't do anything close. Average was about 1:06.8... Which puts me down at like 10th place if it was a long race. I don't like anything passed 3rd!

 

Then again... I don't think my setup is very good at all. Its like a qualifying setup really. I don't run a ton of fuel and I use soft tires that wear out after 20 laps. I sat down with this little booklet thing that explains suspension setups. I figured the game is realistic enough to change the handling of the car even with the most minute changes. The booklet is Carrol Smith's blah blah blah. Too lazy to get it.

I'll have to look into this because I've got a nice Logitech feedback wheel languishing in my room at the moment, neglected.
