Sneaky Swine!!!! (GT4)

[Mad Dave]

Just doing the Capri races again (need the cash) but to make it more challenging i'm using a 590bhp Tuscan Speed Six with the TCS switched completely off!!

Thing is, I can keep ahead of the guy, but every time I get to the last corner and the b@stard shunts me from behind, which gives ME a 5 second penalty, so he steams off and beats me across the line!!

Sneaky shiite!

Yep - sneaky isnt it..... You get the penalty for hiting him / her, but it was them that hit you in the first place...

Had me swearing at the TV last night....just hope the neighbours didnt hear!!!

Ah yes, but once you work out the rules you can use it to your advantage. It depends which bit of your car makes the contact (front=bad, rear=good). There's a particularly evil snow race against a 205 T16 in the 'Special Surfaces' section (or whatever it's called), where you can flick your car very sideways on the way into a corner, and stuff the AI car into a snowbank by hitting it with a rear corner. I wouldn't normally advocate such tactics, but after losing 6 times on the trot desperate measures were called for!

I was wondering whether yoiu can overtake the AI car, brake check it so it rams into the back of you and then sear off into the distance?
