I wouldn't doubt it. I can turn a consistent 57.5 w/o the ballast. If it were a longer track I think my R8 could keep up better (shift into 6th @ 204mph, accelerate to 280+ mph on Sarthe II.)

The scary part is when my roommate's brother shows up. He races shifter karts. He smoked me by over a second, and has maybe 10% of the milage I put on this car.

57.905 - Bentley Speed 8

Toyota Minolta Race car ('89).  Max everything.  1184bhp.

After fixing a few minor gearing & grip difficulties......55.202.

It'll come down lots.



ya know.....this may be mildly unfair to those who havn't won something really fast or had the time to run the rally course cheat 20 times in order to gain the 4.5m cr needed for a top of the range race car.......

Dinnae about 55 flat, but I know I can get under 56.  Get the gearbox right, and see if I can get rid of the little bounce I get in the last turn, and maybe throw a bottle on the car and I might hit 55 flat =)

Post by: Swoop on May 04, 2005, 09:52:59 AM

Ya know.....I was going to bite the bullet and run el capitan a dozen or so times to get that 4.5m Bently......but my 15 year old Toyota seems to be well and truly on the pace so I dont think I'll bother.

And.....I didn't think I was going to like this completely open race but running the different cars against each other is kinda cool.

Glad people are digging it. I figured alot of people were far enough into the game now to see some freakishly competative cars. I'm real, real tempted to break out the Nismo GT-R and tune it for this round. Not really surprised that Toyota was competative, it's a fast car :)

As to 2 seperate divisions, if this were Fuji 90s, I'd say yes. It has an extra turn or 2 that would make the difference. Judging by the times though, I'd say it's pretty fair right now. Afterall, you can't upgrade the Formulas :)

I'm only like 4% into the game and completely broke, have been just buying the proposed car each week.

I'll look around in my garage for something usable, but  no racecars in there i'm afraid

56.210 in the Bentley again
It gets pretty squirrely around 204 in that last sweeper.  I'm trying to lock that down at the moment.

Well, if I DON'T cheat and use Swoops car (as I have done in the past) the best I can get is 1'09.172 using a maxed out Option Z.

I haven't tried using Swoops car yet, but we'll see what happens...

55.634

I've been on the pace to hit 55 flat several times, but I always blow it somewhere.  I think 54.5 is doable as I still haven't gotten 6th gear stretched out far enough for that long straight.

very nice. you may have just saved the rest of these mooks from running the 'ring next week.

I thought about running the toyota, but mine is getting old and used up.  the bentley has a bit of juice left yet.

This car is incredable.hard to control at that kinda lap time and I may shave some......but Im not betting the farm on it.Ive been1 sec off that time since.:cool:

Ok the 5.3 was a fluke.I can in no way sober or *****faced di it again.Im gonna call it a lag and jump a fat chick making it a not only great night,but a............night.have at it boys.Thats the mark.

The 52 easy is not endorsed by the reality team.

Title: GT Challenge week 8
Post by: Swoop on May 06, 2005, 02:00:05 AM

It certainly did a 55.206 pretty easy.  That was my 3rd lap and the first two were spent fixing the setup and gearing.  I'll bring it down some this weekend.

Post by: Heretik on May 06, 2005, 12:11:11 PM

well... I was able to pull off 53.964 in the Bentley but that's right up against the absoloute limit I can run with that car.  I had to face the fact that the Minolta has a higher revving engine, and can be tuned for more HP and a higher top speed.

new time - 53.260

Title: GT Challenge week 8
Post by: DrDea on May 06, 2005, 12:27:55 PM

Im topped out.I dont see getting the car any faster than that.Looks like I made a killing once.........once in turn one.All the other laps the counter goes to 2 from 1 pulling out of 1 so I must have nailed it pretty good that time.Loseing a bit in the little uphill right turn too<4> but thats not much.Theres more in the car.I just cant tune it in.:confused:

Turns 1 - 5 are cake. The normal braking point for turn 1 is the striped curbing. I love that uphill, probably my favorite part of the track. It's that last turn, where the back corner tightens suddenly, that gives me problems sometimes.

I really shoulda got somebody else to pick this setup. That extra 50kg is gonna cost me alot of points :( Kinda neat though how many people have posted times. Good turnout for the week :aok

btw - 55.429 : Toyota GT-One. gave up on the Formula & the Audi. Formula can't hang with these NOS sprayed beasts. The Audi couldn't keep the rear end from starting a progressive drift in all of 6th gear. Just got too bad to manage :( Had high hopes for that car.

I had a few killer laps going and hit the grass out of the last turn.Just half the car but that screws ya fully.great choice of track.This has been fun :)

Title: GT Challenge week 8
Post by: Heretik on May 06, 2005, 04:09:29 PM

I've been on pace to hit 53 flat several times, but I always either clip the grass on that last turn or run out of nitrous in the final straight.
