Hey guys, I would like to ask a favour from the quickest of the quick riders of Tourist Trophie in PS2.

Can you please do your absolute best and give me some hot lap times in Nurburgring Nordshlife with a 2002 CBR 954 RR sports bike with settings of your choice and with sports exhaust and tires? I would like someone to set the bar so I can aim towards something. Currently I have done 7:48.XX but I would say, I only know the first 1/5th of the track very well.

The reason behind, if someone is curious: I have never really spent much time on this game especially on this track, but now I am especially keen to master it cuz from what I have seen and what I have heard, the track in the game is very similar to the real thing. Last weekend I had a bit of a walk around and checked out the surface etc (It looks so nice and grippy!). Currently I am setting up my bike and I hope to get on the ring by late June and slowly get up to speed after doing lap after lap.

Cheers for your help.

P.S. The lap times are with the most realistic difficulty setting. E.g. No touching the grass or crashing etc..

ive done 7:43 before with that bike

I gave away the game since I always crashed on the second corner.

I know I suck.

I can do the track blind fold.

the other settings are very important Sudeep - Manual or auto, and what level if any, of driving aids.

I have played TT in so long, but will have a jam tonight.

just saw this, on the ring, i dont see the problem with crashing - its extremely difficult to get a clean lap - I think I only managed it once, resulting in a 7:16 lap time, but otherwise I get frustrated at keep restarting half way through a lap. Crashing costs time, so its fine to crash

LOL, he's gonna do it in real life - and unlike you, he doesn't wanna crash! Either in the game or in real life!

Yeah thanks for the game i gotta pass it on soon! I've actually been playing it a lot recently. Entering my 90HP 250 GP bike in as many races it can and beating the pants off litre bikes

I will give the ring a go sometime today on the 954. I don't know how to set up bikes i just put the sports exhaust on and adjust the ratios to give me good top speed. Most i ever did was adjust preload to give it more oversteer (according to the game!)

I've done hundreds of laps of the ring in many different games so i know it pretty well although its completely different when you only have two tyres and not 4.

Just did a lap in arcade mode which meant i couldn't adjust the setup. Did a pretty poor lap and came around in 7:58.359. All was going good until about 2 minutes in i hit some grass which sent the bike sideways all over the tarmac at about 280kph then i fell off. Hit the grass a couple of more times on the exits of corners half way round and then buggered up the last corner. Good fun though.

Do you have the controls set to 'pro' in the options? And your doing this in tourist trophy mode i guess under time trial?

**BarBender** · 28th May 2009, 14:42

Its been awhile but from what I can remember you can improve the handling and performance of the bike in both arcade and tt mode which can improve times by up to 10-20 seconds. IMO clean laps are definitely the way to go.

Will give it a dust off and post a time...

arcade mode lets you boost the power up above what the bike should have.

I did a time in tourist trophy time trial. This time i had sports exhaust and changed the final gear ratio so it wouldn't hit the limiter at 300kph (hit at 320 which still wasn't really enough) and i tried out production tyres although i have no idea what the difference is between those and street tyres. This time managed 7:48.5 but spent quite a bit of time on the grass. A clean lap should be able to give 7:45.

I know I know. Ok will do a clean lap. I suppose when comparing to real life, theres no way anyone would push it as hard as they would on TT.

production tyres are best for the bike,

NO QUICK TUNE and anyone that gets a good time gota display proof, i.e picupload replay....
