Had to put my 320i back to normal for autumn ring due to a m3 being there.

The m3 and series one seem to be the two rabbit cars.
I had to put some upgrades to my 86 gt at autumn ring too. This series one is very hard to beat. I don't like rabbit cars..you spend a half of the race trying to avoid the slower cars and the other half trying to catch the leading.
Anyway...i like high speed ring so i'm going to focus on that race and maybe cape ring

FR = Awesome. My favorite cars to drive.

And the best part... No prius.

I only wish the ring was included.

Off topic, but what do you guys think of the prize car's sound?

Ironically I was actually thinking the Camaro SS '10 was a good car to try.

Not ironic at all, considering how well the SS10 did in the Cape Ring TT.

The Shelby ruled that event but the SS10 was within a couple of tenths.

And for anybody that wants to try those cars the tunes for that event will be great for these events, possibly with some changes to power and gearing. That event was TT29.

The Opera S2000 is still going to be quicker than either of those cars though. The only reason it didn't dominate the CR TT was that it wasn't allowed.

Just attempted high speed ring twice in a stock silverado sst concept and came second twice. Damn Shelby won by 5:5xd seconds first time and 0:941 the second time Even with all the power I have I cant get him.

I detuned my California to 272hp and 18 ish kg (max ballast at the back) should be around 440-450pp and it works fine for the Tokyo one.

Yes, this certainly got me. Trounced my 86 GT on Autumn Ring, anyway. Pain in the arse, really.

Also had a go around Cape Ring in a Ginetta G4 using the Regulations its set to in a race series I'm in ( 108bhp, 500kg) 449pp. Ended up 2nd to the M3 only 6:5xx seconds off in the end. I reckon that will be a nice project car for someone to fiddle with, someone who is probably more accustomed to tuning than myself.

I used the 2002 BMW Turbo 1973 with just under 500PP & won the cape ring easily as you would expect having near enough the PP limit, having problems putting the power down exiting corners though, that BMW I'm using is a real feisty bugger!

Forgot what my coin award was but I'll be doing them all again later on.

I ran a Maserati to win all five then an Alfa 8C Competizione and again won all five races. Both cars with all the none pp affecting bells and whistles and enough weight/engine tuning to 500pp. It was hard to get all fve, I took a couple of goes to win on some of the tighter tracks, but great fun.
I do hope they won't produce too many Challenges at 400pp, 500pp or 650pp as I already have dozens of cars tuned to these levels. The 430pp FF Challenge really made me use some cars I've never used before.
Next I'll be running some lower power cars to see how low I can go and still win.

Is it not possible to equip the standard parts to lower the PP of said cars?

For more fun and challenge, I use an Alfa 8C Competizione to win all five races (different transmission required for each track). I keep the lighter weight and tune-down engine power to meet 500pp. It was not easy to win all five. It took me a couple runs to win the fast Shelby when it appears. The last track (Aso (Pavement) 104A) was very easy though.

Just used the FT-86 G SPORTS Concept '10 with added suspension, lsd, drivetrain; detuned to 400pp - easy win for Mt Asso - overtake the BMW at the end of lap 6. I dont think it would beat the Shelby though.
Winnings: 1.2 million cr.
(Mind you, the pleasure of pumping in a fast lap on Mt Asso far outweighs the prize money!! Superb track - won and lost in the first corner complex and the final off camber hairpin!)
