At first I thought it wouldn't be too good, turns out I was wrong. It carried the early-game and it's really competitive against faster cars, the downside is, it requires a bit of grinding to get all the upgrades. Specially for MR challenge and roadster events.
@@YellowbirdYT i ever beaten GRAN TURISMO 4 using only 18 cars in my garage plus 60 prize cars. Including the Formula Gran Turismo. One of those cars in my garage is HONDA BEAT or Copen 2002.
I really love how older racing games are blowing up ATM. I think it's a real testament to just how great they were that they are still so damn entertaining to watch even today. Also probably is also a sad depiction of how far modern racing games have fallen and their inability to be fun for very long :/ but that's another story.
Always online live service garbage is takin his toll on community. PS2 the last true console you put the disc, you play. Back then games where tested and released in a much better state, barely any bug. You unlocked all the content by just playing.
@@YellowbirdYT as someone who didnt grow up with the franchise (or a playstation for that matter), GT1 for the PSX is pretty good. Steering with a D-pad can feel a little unintuitive & there isn't much in the way of content. But the core gameplay is satisfying & very addictive. This is just the single player stuff btw. Not taking the local multiplayer experience into account.
You know, I used to read about Gran Turismo challenges on forums decades ago, but back then video recording and video uploading/streaming wasn't viable though sometimes people would upload pictures or just tell the races they had in word form. So it's great to see actual Gran Turismo challenges in video form. I'm genuinely curious on the worst cars you can beat each Gran Turismo game with! Great work on this video too.
My Dad actually owned a Beat for a fair few years, and I absolutely loved driving it. I learned to drive in a Fiat Uno 1.0 and the Beat felt like a little rocket ship in comparison, especially when it revved to 10,000 plus 😊 I still miss it to be honest. So tiny though.
Really, I'm surprised because most people usually go for the Del Sol if they want a similar experience without being too small I've only ever seen an Autozam AZ-1 and yeah these things are tiny
you're like one of the only people who doesnt intentionally cut the corner in beginner course, thats literally the only way i was able to win the 7 lap race in the mr challenge using my 1997 mr2 g-limited in the start of the game
@@YellowbirdYT thanks, it was like 8 or 9k when i had to get a starter, and it was in orange mica metallic. lets just say it holds a special place in my heart ...and then the ps2 stopped working so ive decided to play forza 3, and its boring
I actually started routing a GT3 minimum car route a while back. I calculated that the PT Cruiser was the starter car that could enter the most events, whilst the Mazda Demio was the least useful and probably one of the most painful cars to start with. Thats as far as I got with it, as my mental health degraded before I could work out the next step. If I feel better someday, I might pick it back up again.
@@ArbitraryOutcome It might be in terms of time taken, but purely from an efficiency standpoint the PT Cruiser can enter the most Beginner events. My conclusion on routing is that more time is lost through the menus than can be made up on track, so minimizing menu usage was my priority. I had an Excel spreadsheet for the beginner events and all cars purchasable at the start, and one by one checked off what could enter what events, completely disregarding if it was possible to even win it. Stars and Stripes was my breaking point a few years ago, but I think I could pick it back up and finally win it.
I had to use the 350z race car to beat some of the beginner and professional events and you are here slaying it with a beat you got insane driving skills!!
I rarely leave comments on video but this video is super good with a really interesting challenge. I'm glad I got your channel in my recommandation your content is great
@@YellowbirdYTnot what i meant, this car was used in one of the most haineous test in the game.... Jesus those RUF literally went to touch grass and sand and that SLR racer got issue, also imagine losing to a Subaru Outback and Porsche Boxster (3400s)
Am I the only car nerd here that after buying and tunning a car goes to GT Auto and buys wheels from the same car brand but from a different model? For example, I bought a BMW Z4 and I kept buying new wheels from the daily wheels menu till the BMW M3 e46 wheels showed up. Now my Z4 has BMW M3 wheels. Also I bought a 2001 VW Golf GTI and I kept buying wheels till the 2005 Golf GTI wheels appeared. Now my 2001 Golf GTI has 2005 Golf GTI wheels. I don't like buying aftermarket wheels sometimes, I prefer buying wheels that belong to a car from the same brand. Maybe its an OCD thing to do or Im just too much of a car nerd.
I know this comment is more than a year old, but I wanted to chip in regardless. I fully agree, also with real life cars. I think theres more charm in bolting top of the line model wheels on an entry level model car. It feels more in place than some "universal" rims. For me, I have a peugeot 206+. It mostly comes with steelies. I am now searching for 206 RC rims, those are beautiful
The song you used for the first 20 minutes of the vid sounded so familiar, I ended up doing some digging around and found it; Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Drift 2 - Sponsor Selection Theme. That's a game I want to actually beat some day.
It can get pretty tough, routing was a big challenge as I really wanted to avoid buying cars. Sadly some events are impossible without buying specific cars thanks to restrictions. I think my route is pretty good, overall.
Absoluty love finding the older impreza wrx in the used showroom. Carries the early races and slap some snow/dirt tires on it and it slaps on other events also.
Been getting a lot gran turismo content creators been loving all the content I’ve seen and now starting out gt4 been having fun so far until I get to the licenses Im sure
I tried a minimal car run in Gran Turismo 2 a while back, I found that doing most of the GT World Cup events is possible with just the Dodge Stratus ES. With the stage 3 turbo, it makes 371hp, making it pretty hard to beat.
@@YellowbirdYT it even can hold it's own against the legendary cheater, the GT40. Straight line speed is surprising, but the cornering speed is NUTTY. Edit: if you try the Stratus challenge, gotta make it Purple and put gold BBS wheels on it, I swear it adds 50hp lol.
Most K-cars have a power band that drops off sharply past the mid rpm range, luckily the Beat doesn't suffer from this due to it's individual throttle bodies which is reflected here, hence High Speed Ring being better for it than expected
Loved the video, was quite entertaining how far you were able to take the Honda Beat. I do want to know though, how did you stop the headlights and lights in general from flickering on your emulator? No matter what I do, I can't fix it. It seems like you fixed it on your end.
Thanks! It did better than I expected. Oh, that? I never had that issue but it's caused by your upscale resolution, I think any of the .5 options should solve it (x3.5 and so on) If not, then I have no clue.
@@YellowbirdYT Shortly after I asked you, I did find out it was the upscaling that fixes it, but I've now ran into other issues. Seems it works only if upscaled by x3.5 and the game set to 480p, but the UI is messed up. There's clear parts of it that's being rendered weirdly, so you can just barely make it out. An example would be a very faint clear box around the position numbers in the top left, or around where the map is. Have you ran into this issue as well?
Seeing all these tracks makes me sad to see how bland and boring the current GT7 tracks are, great challange. Glad to see you didn't have any trouble with a white Subaru Impreza! 😂
My journy started with a VW Lupo 1.4, then i bought a Honda Castrol Mugen NSX, the I use the well know cheat of money in GT4 (playing Amalfi and win the Toyota RSC Rally car). I bought a Mazda 787B (a super car, that make you win a lot of races, even the endurance events). Then I play the driving missions to win the toyota 7. Finally, I won the El Capitan endurance race, to win the Minolta, and thats it, you have everything that you need to won the rest of important races, even the 24h of Nurburgring and Le Mans
@@YellowbirdYT one of the keys to don't waste is to use the prize cars, some time these are really great cars. And just modify basic stuff o your car. Once again, Amalfi is a great ally on your journy, sometimes you can spend around 4-5h playing this exact event. Get practice with your cars, and go for the endurance races (specially El Capitan) and get the Minolta, modify this badboy to the core, and that's it
Fun listen - Red Paint = +10bhp - can't prove it but it is a scientific fact. I like to think the Sunday Cup has AI drivers that play Bingo, knit jumpers and collect pictures of dogs playing poker. (So a bunch of Grandmas!) Also nice Ace Combat 2 music. All the best to you.
I haven't tried it but I think it's possible, the Mazda 323 sedan the 89 one that is FWD has the best power to weight ratio of any starter car in the game when fully modified(gets to about 370hp with turbo and under 900kg with RM), It might be possible to win the GT world championship with that car with a good setup(so max downforce and good gearing), a Starter car worth a try I know I can beat some of the cars in that event with a spoon civic which has worse power to weight than this Mazda and doesn't have downforce.
@@YellowbirdYT sorry yes, I did mean GT2 lol, when your thinking of a GT2 idea I think it's worth a shot FWD Racing cars are insane in GT2 the GT300 FTO can win the GT world championship with ease(I have done it). I haven't tried the Mazda though, I only noticed it after looking at the GT2 car calculator on its peak performance and it's a standout.
Great video tackling this challenge. I do need to add some constructive criticism: Having the same song that consists of a 4~5 second sample for almost 20 minutes was immensely headache inducing. Also, your voice inflection and intonation was pretty much always the same across the whole video. It's like you're reading all the sentences ending with a question mark. I do think that having a more diverse soundtrack and keeping the narration a bit more toned down would help. I hope I don't come across too harsh. Keep up the good work and thanks for the content.
You're not the first person who says this, I thought it would be less distracting but seems it's the opposite. Something to keep in mind for future videos, and yes, still trying to nail this voice-over thing.
Hey Yellowbird, awesome video. I am just now discovering this game as I was too young when it came out. I LOVE the bmw m3 gtr and finally unlocked it. How should I tune it? (It runs pretty amazing as default though right?)
Ah, I don't have a setup at hand, truth be told. I haven't used it in a long time. As a general rule, I usually make front suspension (springs, stabilizers, dampers) soft on the front and stiff on the rear (lower value on front, higher value on rear) and lower the ride height, but this depends on the course as some are bumpy and require both softer suspension and higher ride height. I run a bit more of rear camber than front camber (1.0 - 1.5 respectively) If curious, there are good tuning guides on my discord server, they weren't made by me but they are really useful. The link is in the description!
Do you really need a short answer to this challenge, Yellowbird? Well, let me tell you this. You need ALL the cars to beat Gran Turismo 4. If some of them don't work, try something else.
How do you get your game to look so good? Mine is still pretty grainy even on 1080p. Still even with those settings it looks pretty good for 20 years old.
I had a challenge run like this in mind but for 100% completion and wanted to make a video about it. I did find some parts of the run a bit questionable
@@YellowbirdYT Just like in burnout, sadly for them. In GT4 you don't get rewarded with a nitro if you crash other's cars. Shame I couldn't get into GT4 back when I played my ps2 more, I remember really enjoying GT2 as a child.
Gran Turismo has always had absurd levels of difficulty, but the bots in Gran Turismo 4, forgive me, in the second to last corner of Opera Paris, I don't know why they brake, just to get in the way.
Yes, you would have to grind a bit to make the Beat competitive in MR challenge, however I think you could pair it with other events instead, say a Clio V6 for the French championship and MR challenge. Given most of the cars I used aren't crazy expensive, you should be fine. It will take longer, is all. The Legacy would decimate Capri rally and you could grind RSCs, if you feel like grinding.
Really suprised how many opponets you can defeat in the Honda Beat, great challenge man 👍
At first I thought it wouldn't be too good, turns out I was wrong. It carried the early-game and it's really competitive against faster cars, the downside is, it requires a bit of grinding to get all the upgrades. Specially for MR challenge and roadster events.
@@YellowbirdYT i ever beaten GRAN TURISMO 4 using only 18 cars in my garage plus 60 prize cars. Including the Formula Gran Turismo. One of those cars in my garage is HONDA BEAT or Copen 2002.

Wow, this reminded me how many tracks we are missing in GT7 that I completely had forgotten about! Excellent video I really enjoyed it.
Thank you so much! Yeah, we lost a lot of good circuits as more RL circuits started to be used.
That Legacy must have been an intimidating sight in the rear-view mirror, everyone went off the track as soon as you got close 😂

Fair enough. I have a soft spot for the PT cruiser. I quite like the car though I know it’s not great. I affectionately call it the virgin cruiser.
Hope you get better soon!
Yellowbird: I struggle with handling.
*proceeds to drive off the track on the grass 😂😂
The track is always bigger than it seems, you just have to be creative.
The TXR3 boss music during the Minolta scene actually broke me. Great vid!
Good to see someone noticed! I appreciate it!

I appreciate it! I grew up with these games, bringing them to an audience is something special.
im also really into it lately
Imagine the Legacy in real life. You pour your hard earned cash into a racing car only to get beaten by a station wagon.
It has room for all your groceries and friends, and it humiliates sport cars as a part-time job.

It was a really good challenge, good job. When you said repairing the washing machine, I first thought of the Chapparal 2J lol :D xDD
That's one quick washing machine for sure, now.
''The leading Honda beat had an extra 10 hp, thanks to it's red paint'' good one lol

How did you get the loose camera angle like GT3? Always preferred that over the fixed hard cam in subsequent GT’s
Use Silent's patch codes. They are on his website, or already prebuilt for selection on the latest dev builds of PCSX2.
Every time i win a race or pass a license, red circle of death. 😢
Could always be worse, trying to beat any race even in a fully upgraded honda today is a nightmare

I have no idea how a Honda Beat could beat a Lotus Elise or Esprit.
2:33 Nice rhyme.
I didn't notice, hah.
Is he using music from the daytime parking area from Tokyo Extreme Racer Drift 2??
Yes, I am!
Song in beginning is that from Kaido Racing TXRD2 ps2 game?
Yes, it is!
@@YellowbirdYT nice! 😁
I was wondering this about 5 months ago just found this now
The YT machine works in mysterious ways.
I love that Minolta lol
It's usually the most OP car in each line-up!
Imagine being in an NSX, and you see some shitter in a fucking Honda Beat, and then that Beat obliterates you in the race
Absoultely a life-changing event.
That corvette sounded an awful lot like Maradona
It is a fitting sound effect.
that's why it's called the beat
the honda that BEAT the opponents
How silly of me, it's in the name. Of course it was destined for great things.
Hey Yellowbird, awesome video. I am just now discovering this game as I was too young when it came out. I LOVE the bmw m3 gtr and finally unlocked it. How should I tune it? (It runs pretty amazing as default though right?)
Ah, I don't have a setup at hand, truth be told. I haven't used it in a long time. As a general rule, I usually make front suspension (springs, stabilizers, dampers) soft on the front and stiff on the rear (lower value on front, higher value on rear) and lower the ride height, but this depends on the course as some are bumpy and require both softer suspension and higher ride height. I run a bit more of rear camber than front camber (1.0 - 1.5 respectively)
If curious, there are good tuning guides on my discord server, they weren't made by me but they are really useful. The link is in the description!
Drive the LOTUS ELAN from 1961 fully tuned!!! I swear it almost kills everything. Use slicks and nitro.
The Elan is pretty good indeed, always above its class!
The song from Tokyo Xtreme racer drift 2 at the intro
I need to replay it again, but yes, totally!
hey awesome video, what input do you use?
Thank you! I play with a controller.
The Honda Beatdown
Absolutely!
I'll watch it again ❤
That is a threat
Do you really need a short answer to this challenge, Yellowbird? Well, let me tell you this.
You need ALL the cars to beat Gran Turismo 4. If some of them don't work, try something else.
How do you get your game to look so good? Mine is still pretty grainy even on 1080p. Still even with those settings it looks pretty good for 20 years old.
There are good tutorials on YT on how to set it up, with newer releases of PCXS2.
I had a challenge run like this in mind but for 100% completion and wanted to make a video about it. I did find some parts of the run a bit questionable
Are you using the hd texture packs?
Great video, where are you from?
Argentina.
You only need the Cappuccino.
These Minoltas playing Gran Turismo 4 as if it's Burnout Revenge.
They don't give me a break, at all.
@@YellowbirdYT Just like in burnout, sadly for them. In GT4 you don't get rewarded with a nitro if you crash other's cars.
Shame I couldn't get into GT4 back when I played my ps2 more, I remember really enjoying GT2 as a child.
Damn.. the only Honda Beat I know is the motorcycle one 😂
Gran Turismo has always had absurd levels of difficulty, but the bots in Gran Turismo 4, forgive me, in the second to last corner of Opera Paris, I don't know why they brake, just to get in the way.
Unless I'm mistaken, he didn't modify the cars either??
Also, the AI cannot figure out how to keep the RUFs on the track lol.
I did modify them, the Beat had a ton of upgrades. However, the rest of them were rather tame, mostly gearbox and suspension for better handling.
Would the same amount of cars be possible without cheating the amount of starting money?
Yes, you would have to grind a bit to make the Beat competitive in MR challenge, however I think you could pair it with other events instead, say a Clio V6 for the French championship and MR challenge. Given most of the cars I used aren't crazy expensive, you should be fine. It will take longer, is all. The Legacy would decimate Capri rally and you could grind RSCs, if you feel like grinding.
Fun video but the music drove me crazy, the loop is too short. :P
Thank you! My apologies, figured it would be less distracting. Will take care of this for my next video.
@@YellowbirdYT No problem! Says a lot that the content was entertaining enough to keep me around despite this, eh? :P
Looking forward to it!
7:23 You did not just call the MR2 r€tarqeq
I'm not sure if my lawyer would appreciate if I answered this.
How many cars in total did you use, I lost track
14, unless I also missed something.
can u share graphics settings?
Honda Beat is in a Forza Game?
You can even change drivetrains to be unstoppable
Seems posible to do and keep the bumping and cutting at minimum
as a honda beat owner i approve
Nice! These cars are pretty special.
@@YellowbirdYT they are the most fun you can have on the road
I hear Ace Combat music👀
Of course! One of my favorite franchises as well.
700+ cars, not a single Lamborghini or Ferrari... I would also say not a single Porsche, but they do have RUF.
So funny when you‘ve won the M3 GTR 😂
As much as I like M3s. I couldn't stop myself.
Gran turismo,is more a hard challenges,driving mission is one more,challenges
