1 Lap Magic Challenge(s)

(Note to mods: Move this if this isn't the right forum, I wasn't really sure which this would fit in :scared: )

And no, not just the actual Mission Mode ones in GT4. Mainly because I suck at those >_<

I was bored last night, so I jumped into Arcade Mode and fooled around a little. Deciding that I liked the 1 Lap Magics...at least the ones I could win (I'm looking at you, number 34 :grumpy: ), I decided to make some of my own! Plus it's easier too. The way I created mine was to pick an arbitrary length of time to stall at the starting line, and see how close I was at the finish line. Then I adjust the length of the time until I can just barely pass the lead car at the finish (<1 second gap, preferably less).

I'm sure you can beat my pathetic times, so this thread is for you to create your own challenges, and to see if you can defeat someone else's! Enjoy!

Rules for racing:
When idling at the starting line, you must hold the brake until the time required to stall elapses, just so you don't roll forward or accidentally hit the gas or something.

Corner cutting, wallriding and using the computer cars as a brake are advised against. Pretend you're in a WRS race, or just turn on the 5 second penalty in the options.


Template for challenge posting:

Track: Well, this is pretty obvious.
Your Car: Again, not too hard here.
Lead Car: The car that will end up in first at the end of the lap. Or second, if you can beat him :D
Seconds: How many seconds you are required to idle at the start before you can go.
Tuning: How you tuned the car. Make sure to indicate the difference between the tuning when you choose the car and the Quick Tuning! (I like to change tires from former to latter to make the gap close faster)
Difficulty: The difficulty setting. In most cases -10, but if you can close a gap with +10 cars...go for it.
Description: Feel free to insert something interesting or punny here, or alternatively add extra restrictions.

Now, my challenges. Not too many now, but oh well.

Track: Tsukuba Circuit
Your Car: Dodge RAM 1500
Lead Car: Honda Life Step Van o_O
Seconds: 41
Tuning: Choose Economy tires on the car select screen, then change back to Sport s Soft on Quick Tune, along with +20% power and -10% weight.
Difficulty: -10
Description: I like using the truck for the races mainly because the cars you get as opposition are such junky stuff. This should be simple, I won by .2 and I'm a lame driver. Just keep the car on the road and be careful of the last turn...

Track: Nurburgring
Your Car: Dodge RAM 1500
Lead Car: The surprisingly fast Honda Life Step Van, again
Seconds: 390 (6 minutes 30 seconds)
Tuning: Choose Economy tires on the car select screen, then change back to Sport s Soft on Quick Tune, along with +20% power and -10% weight.
Difficulty: -10
Description: Please don't fall asleep while waiting...anyway, I haven't tested this out yet, I got the time by starting with a 4:45 gap and checking the gap at the end. Which was about 1:40, actually. The last straight REALLY helps for making up time. If you get the right field, this can be a lot like a real 1LM because the cars are way spread apart (because, uh, the Subaru 360 redlines at 40 MPH >_<).

Track: High Speed Ring
Your Car: Minolta Toyota 88C-V
Lead Car: Pagani Zonda LM Race Car
Seconds: 34
Tuning: I forget the tires, but I did the usual +20 -10 deal with power and weight.
Difficulty: -10
Description: This one is actually 2 laps, but it was still fun. It might be tricky, I haven't won it without wallriding the last turn both laps, but then again you might be a better driver than I am...
