@jsn124
i'm having a hard time reading your english but if i understand correctly, you're having trouble with the first turn on akagi downhill. dude, there's one thing you should do - use the brakes. releasing the gas isn't enough (i'd like to think this is true for most of the turns on all courses except myogi)
the course is downhill and you're going as fast as 140+km/h when you get to the turn. if you don't step on the brakes, the momentum would take the car straight to the railing.
if you watched and listened to the first episodes of the series, it's explained that racing isn't just about speed and taking the right line but it's also about weight transfer.
when a car accelerates, it's entire weight shifts to the rear. that's why even real racers use the brakes because if they don't, they'd either hit the rail or go off the track. you need to use the brakes to balance the weight of the car, go as fast as you can while still taking the correct racing line. when you can do that, you'll know if you need to use the brakes or not.
@White Comet
the R32 and R34 is the strongest on myogi, with a top speed of 207km/h ^^
the sil-eighty is the strongest on usui but the 180sx and s13 are pretty good on usui too ^^
the ER34 is pretty good on akagi as well ^^
the GT4 may be the best for akina snow but the R32 is good for this course as well. with its weight, it grips the road better than most 4WD cars ^^ (my friend and i even tried the DC2 on this course and it it did surprisingly well
)
the EK9 is best for happo outbound, the EG6 for inbound - but the MR2 and MR-s are pretty good on this course as well
@Bunta Legend
actually tsuchisaka is home to most 4WD cars (particularly the evos) but yes, the evo5 is "strongest" on tsuchisaka ^^

home court, not the court that the car is best on. The home court advantage reflects on the anime series. It's the court that the car feels "at home" even tho there are some cars that r better than the home course cars (eg. 86 Levin on Small Round Mountain Round) it is the the home course of the car.

CerberaLM, you mean that Akagi first turning, before the first turning, my gear is already at gear 5, or before the turning, I must not change the gear to 5, must change to 4?
hehex~ sry about that, me kind of confused on some map, the turnings...
Iro, the first turning also, me very angry at that part, before Iro, gear already at 5, but before the turning, I change it to 4, at turning I change it to 3 and turn, releasing gas, but no use.
One time, I tried gear 3 and step brake, the car like almost stop immediately like that...
To me, I find something that is the answer for that, but I don know whether is it true.
Ans :When the car haven reach the first turning, it is already at gear 5, before the turning, change to gear 4, almost reach the turning, change to gear 3 and when it reach the first turning, change to gear 2 then gear 3 immediately and release gas, to overcome this turning.
This is what I think...maybe you all can correct me...thankz ya~ btw, anyone tried Iro Uphill instead of Downhill? Kinda fun, I wanna try Uphill also~ ^_^

iro first turn, downshift to 3 gear from 5 gear. take the outside and brake, while turning then quickly accelerate and clear the turn....
maybe i shouldn't give advice on turning, coz i can't explain properly and my description makes no sense, if my so called "advice" doesn't help u, its not my fault coz i suck at describing things.
Also don't tell me that my "advice" isn't correct coz i suck at describing things

yes, shift down to 4th gear on the first turn on akagi and take the turn at 120-125km/h (remember to use the brakes so you don't hit the wall); your exit speed should be about 128-130km/h (with practice, you can go as fast as 130+km/h).
iro downhill...
i think it depends on the car but there are 2 techniques that i see that players do on the first turn. since your speed before the turn is about 130km/h, either:
1) brake and shift down to 3rd gear BEFORE you enter the turn.
or
2) shift down to 4th, step on the brakes a bit harder then shift down to 3rd DURING the turn.
just to be clear, you can take the turn in 3rd gear then shift up to 4th as you exit. speed during the turn: 85-90km/h. exit speed: 90+km/h.
*although i've seen some shift down to 2nd gear then quickly back to 3rd as they take the turn.
and i suggest for your evo4 you go for option A when you inspect your car and get:
- either the gold/bronze Volk 6-spoke mags or the white Enkei 6-spoke mags
- either Valdi or Mitsubishi Motors spoiler (default for option, A with or without the brake light)

Ya...you are right, "Bunta Legend", I really don't know why I like Iro so much, I think is because I played Ver.2, then I get hook by the map...^_^ haha~ sorry for replying so late, I didn't use the com. for a few days, got homework to do, so didn't reply...
CerberLM, you look at this thingys...this is wat Cevil write:
------------------------------------------------------------
jsn124:
It maybe called class, but it is option. usually, the option a is good for start up and handling. option b for speeding and balance with the handling. option c are most of the time for the acceleration and stability, yet it understeers too much due to its heavy weight. option d is drifty and a bit stable. option normal is the most drift option of all cars. it has no parts installed.
for me. best option for skylines, option B. best option for Evos, option Normal. best option for RX7s, option A.
--------------------------------------------------------
So, CerberLM, you think I should make a new card?A new Evo4, op.A??
My Evo4 is op.C, but many people here say that car is all the same, is the skill...(confused) hehex
And by the way, what do you mean by this sentence if I make a new Evo4, op.A:
- either the gold/bronze Volk 6-spoke mags or the white Enkei 6-spoke mags
- either Valdi or Mitsubishi Motors spoiler (default for option, A with or without the brake light)

the only difference between the options is the kind of tune up's ur car will be customised with....ppl only say evoIV option A is the best coz it has the initial d tune ups and its the anime option (and it looks sexy ^^)

yeah you don't have to make a new card to change the option. as Bunta Legend said, just change the option on the next inspection.
i'm not that good w/c parts are best but the thing is, the option you choose when you get a card gives the overall feel of the car because of the parts that are eventually installed. if i'm not mistaken, option C for the evo4 is the most stable because of the wing-type spoiler (also like the BNR32's option C), but this makes the car a bit harder to turn.
the parts i've mentioned like the mags or spoilers come along as you play and you have the option to install them or not. based from experience, the most "drifty" mags for the evo4 is the silver starfish-type mags; very slippery even in dry conditions. the other good mags are the white enkei 5- and 6-spoke mags. the gold 6-spoke mags are pretty good on dry but best for wet conditions. the best spoilers are the default option A Mitsubishi motors spoilers and Valdi.

But inspection muz wait until 50 times. Play 1 game, take the card out, put inside, take it out again, put inside, for 50 times~
Eh~when you have inspection right? Then they will ask you to change the op. that you one, if you change your op. to A, then all the parts will be "A" parts right?
Then next time when they ask you to change the part "Yes" and "No"....then all click "No" right? Because all your parts is "A" parts already.Is it right?

first question, yes. second question, no.
on inspection, you can change the current option to whatever option you'd want; and i really recommend you go for option A for your evo4.
when the "parts change" screen appears, the only mags i can recommend would be the ones i've mentioned.
mags:
- white 5- or 6-spoke enkei
- gold 6-spoke enkei
spoiler:
- Mitsubishi Motors [default option A (you could also go with the one that doesn't have a brake light)]
- Valdi
