Title: GT4 Challenge week 9
Post by: Swoop on May 09, 2005, 03:12:45 PM: Week 9
TRACK: Costa di Amalfi (city courses)
CAR/MODS: Ahem:

Indy gave me a good idea with week 8's setup.
(um.....ok, actually this is Talyn's idea from Indy's setup but I like it so I'm stealing it).

Total budget for car and mods 75,000cr.
You must purchase a car from Nissan's new car list, no second hand cars, nothing other than a Nissan. Any Nissan.
Road tyres (N3) as standard, sports tyres (S1, S2, S3) must be bought from the mod budget. The sports medium tyres (S2) that come as standard must be payed for if you want to use them. Racing tyres not allowed.
No NOS.
Stick with the car you run first. No changing cars mid week cos someone else made a better choice.
Reason I picked Nissan is that there are around 15 vehicles in more or less the same power / price bracket.

AIDS: TCS & ASM disabled for wheel users. Others may use TCS & ASM.

Notes:
Swoop 50kg ballast

RULES:
- Gran Turismo mode practice only. No arcade mode or drafting AI cars.
- Lowest single lap time wins.
- Post times in this thread by Monday AM.
- Winner picks next week's track, car, and mod budget.
- Winner must carry 50kg ballast in next week's competition. Subsequent wins add 50kg ballast for each win, up to a maximum of 200kg. If winning streak is ended, 50kg is removed each week that the driver does not win.
- Oil change and car wash allowed.
- Try not to cut corners or hit walls too much.
- Championship reset when someone hits 100pts.

Week 8 results:

1. 10 pts Swoop. 53.008 Toyota 88C-V '89
2. 6 pts DrDea. 53.211 Toyota 88C-V '89

Ok no racing tires but your saying buying sport tires is ok as long as their not medium??????????
So I can buy the soft?

From the way I read it, if you want sport tires, you need to pay for them. If they come with the car, you gotta buy them again and take it out of the budget, unless you want to run Simulation tires. N3 simulation tires are the only freebies.

yeah you can buy the soft. The idea is that if you want the grippy tyres it comes outta your mod budget.

Post by: Swoop on May 11, 2005, 01:59:17 AM: Right then......

Skyline GT-R 2'04.something (PS isn't on and I didn't write it down when I saved the ghost).

Was kinda worried about the cost of a Skyline over the 350Z but I just really wanted 4WD.

Post by: takeda on May 11, 2005, 02:59:29 AM: I got the GT4 special ed. 350Z.... free 20HP.
Just bought S3 tires so far. And went round the wrong place for a few laps, thinking that I was beating you (Citta di Aria) :)

This should be competitive, as we all know that track pretty well from all the cheating :)

Well if he hasn't even played yet, he can pick the track. Just post it. I'll find a nice, inexpensive ride for it that we won't be bored to tears with. If it's a real twisty track, probably will even ditch the heavy american rides for a Caterham Fireblade. Man that thing handles good :)
