Conditions -No NOS,
Deadline Tuesday 7/3 11:59 PM PST
ok I thought you and gnurider's times were to slow. I just logged a 2.55.393 and that's just with a few laps before I really start messing around with settings. I added to the requirements so I hope they're a bit more clear.4:50.297 in a clapped Mk1 GTI on Sarth...
What lightweight cars have engines you can force to make decent power? The GTI is a blast to drive when it weighs 700kg with a 220hp motor but it still doesn't have the oomph necessary...That's what pisses me off about this game...you can have a 16v VW 4cyl making 600hp with the right stuff.
edit: 4:40.990 in a Spoon Civic...so this is what it's like to not have any torque...mmm...gutless car.
doh! i totally forgot about that car. i think i've got one in my garage.ok I thought you and gnurider's times were to slow. I just logged a 2.55.393 and that's just with a few laps before I really start messing around with settings. I added to the requirements so I hope they're a bit more clear. D
Has anyone spent any time on challenge 2?
I was doing it in the Renault Turbo rally car, but it wasn't a fast lap by any means (sandbox playing!), but still...I guess I just need to get a 900hp race car under 1000kg.ok I thought you and gnurider's times were to slow.

You can race ANY car that is under 1000kg...meaning this is where you pull out the big dogs, I used my Minolta Toyota.
Your cars only have to race at under 1000kg...how they meet that weight doesn't matter....D
yeah I'm down to 1.25.163...with no wall riding
I'm convinced I was driving a different track, cause I was driving the course very cleanly with an 800hp Ford GT and only getting a 1:34...Oh well, challenge is over.HINT:
What else can you get in GT Auto besides oil changes?:huh:
I did a lot of fine tuning to get the tranny dialed. I start braking around the first sign marking the corner.
Adding a spoiler was the the key to getting the car to corner and brake well. With down force you can brake really late make up a ton of time. I made up the most time in the fast s-turns about 2/3 through- i could almost hit them flat out in 5th gear. My initial, sloppy laps were 4-5 seconds faster with a spoiler than my really clean laps without one.I'm convinced I was driving a different track, cause I was driving the course very cleanly with an 800hp Ford GT and only getting a 1:34...Oh well, challenge is over.
Why weren't you using a lotus?...I had mine up to 905hp and added a spoiler....I tried a run just wall riding the whole time and pulled a 1.19...I will make sure to use tracks that don't really allow it for the next challenges...DI'm convinced I was driving a different track, cause I was driving the course very cleanly with an 800hp Ford GT and only getting a 1:34...Oh well, challenge is over.
OHHHH! We're doing Sarthe II! The original post said "normal" so I assumed it was the modern version. Okay, 250mph backstretch it is.
I was, the fast grey Espirit...I had mine up to 900hp too but I couldn't get under 1:35. I did the GT just for kicks to see if I could get a faster time since I hated the Lotus so much...Why weren't you using a lotus?...I had mine up to 905hp and added a spoiler....I tried a run just wall riding the whole time and pulled a 1.19...I will make sure to use tracks that don't really allow it for the next challenges...D
I think we should just take this one challenge at a time. It seems to be more competitive when there is only one challenge going on IMO.
Did you have a spoiler? Wall riding is a technique sorry @ss racers use to go faster...I would call it a GT4 glitch...on many track you can literally hug the walls and you don't really take any penalty...such as losing speed or car damage....DI was, the fast grey Espirit...I had mine up to 900hp too but I couldn't get under 1:35.

What's wallriding?
2.51.263...wow suspension set up is pretty vital...especially on the back straight @ 261mph!...D3rd Challenge:

Deadline Saturday 7/7 11:59 PM PST
Yes it is...I'm currently doing lots of races to get to %25 to do Enduro races to get me mah race cars...2.51.263...wow suspension set up is pretty vital...especially on the back straight @ 261mph!...D
yeah well the Minolta sucks anyway...I could never get that thing tuned right like all the other cars in it's class...I just sold mine and bought the Toyota 1...far superior car...DI never did go back to tokyo. I prolly should have but...too late. I don't like sarthe, so I'm wiating for the next. Besides, I sold the Minolta to get money...
Stupid,stupid,stupid.
I may have something in the stable though.
no worries that's why I have 2 extra challenges so folks who have to skip one can still get points from 10 challenges....have a safe race....DI'm skipping #3, I have to work today and will be racing all weekend. DNF
NOW you tell me when I'm halfway through the 200 miles of el Capitain to get the Minolta...How much can she sell for?yeah well the Minolta sucks anyway...I could never get that thing tuned right like all the other cars in it's class...I just sold mine and bought the Toyota 1...far superior car...D
