You sure about that one? It's pretty awful IMO; a complete bitch to pass on.

The top part of the circuit is very tight on GTPSP

The whole track's pretty tight.

10 best cars in Ridge Racer Type 4, in no order:

10. Terrazi Ambitious (a cool looking, nippy beginning car)
9. Assoluto Bisonte (see intro)
8. Assoluto Squalo (LMP gone wrong :lol:

)
7. Assoluto Aquila (used to play the red preset version of this car)
6. Lizard Tamer (RB X2010? Brabham BT46B? Chaparral 2J? RRT4 players have this one :lol:

)
5. Terrazi Starlight (Lotus 49 with canopy, basically - eat that, FIA!)
4. Lizard Reckless (CART machine with canopy - eat that too, FIA!)
3. Age Solo Ecureuil (small, slow looking car with just one gear but goergous speed?

)
2. Lizard Nightmare (devilish looking Group C-esque racer? I'm for it

)
1. Terrazi Destroyer (exaggerated concept racer)

It's quite a challenge over the whole lap IMO. But I loved racing FF cars round there, the tight turns towards the end of the lap were great for making up a load of time.

As for Grand Valley Speedway, I could never link-up a good lap there which is why it isn't in my list. A beautiful track though.

Hey, I'm just a man who enjoys motorsport and enjoys good looking women. Don't hold it against me. Look at it as a tribute.

The ranking of Rahel Frey is too damn high! I'd put her in ninth.

So am I right to assume that there can't be many that could be considered mingers then?

(Although I am pretty sure Milka Duno was not on the list...)

Don't worry. :-)

I don't think there's something bad in a top ten of most beautiful female racers. ;-)

Anyway it seemed to me that, with all your honourable mentions, this one is not a top ten, but a top 50 or top 60!

Michael Jackson's nose fell off. Makes you wonder if Milka and Donuts has a fake nose too. :lol:

dinizintheoven · Post by **dinizintheoven** » 17 Dec 2012, 22:57

I also notice Alice Powell isn't on the list - whereas GP3 contemporaries Carmen Jordá and Vicky Piria are.

One of these three might actually be a successful racer. I know which one, and why.

What's Hughes' Law?

If I remember correctly, Hughes' Law states that any thread will inevitably turn into discussion of Jonathan Legard commentating style, and is named after our own Warren Hughes. I think there was eurobrun's Law as well, which was something like given enough time eurobrun will post in any thread how crap his life and/or love life is.
