24 hours of lemons

[Brainhulk]

who wants a 24 hour race restricted to only crappy cars on street tires?

just for kicks, they should make these cars randomly break down for no reason during the race to make you pit

Longest 24 hours ever.

I was about a...

Actually I would prefer it, In GT4 you really had to use a LM Racer for the Le Sarthe races and you needed high concentration all the time. At least with slower cars there is not as much emphasis on that I guess.

 

[Leicht]

LOL, I thought the OP spelled it wrong :LOL:

 

[sesselpupser]

I would love this, but would it have to be Le Mans? I'd be so up for this; 100bhp limit, comfort mediums... Yep, that would be great fun!

 

[magburner]

Hahaham great Idea.

Just for kicks, a mate and I raced the Nurburgring Nordschleife 24hr layout in the dark, and in the rain, in... go-karts!

Someone has probably done this already around here, but in case you haven't tried, I challenge you to find the first corner! We both gave up after five minutes of trying - it is really that dark! 👍

Actually the fun part would be no hp limit, but comfort hard tires! lol!

 

[dabest2500]

An even harder challenge would be to use Rain tyres...
Those things would burn out faster than a...
than a...
I fail sometimes.

I think it'd be fun to do some...30 minutes of lemons or something, but not the real deal 24. Get in some old cars from the 80s, jack up the suspension settings so they can barely do anything and don't change the oil.

 

[RogsR34UK]

Why not just use the original Citroen 2CV that thing can barely get up a hill!

 

[Brainhulk]

maybe kaz will let us paint these cars with our own funny livery and add silly wings and aero's!

 

[Choate51]

Bring it on! I want the Daihatsu or fiat 500!

 

[negative1]

Stock Daihatsu Midget II D type from the sport truck race?

 

[Rossticles]

Ha! I went to this when it came to Texas. It was hilarious. Just a bunch of people who don't care about the car they're driving.

I ran the fall CMP lemons race. Lots of fun. However, half of the insanity is having 90 to a hundred cars at once out there on a 1 mile track. Won't be the same limited to 16 cars even if you put them all on a go-kart track...

FWIW, we ran a Porsche 944, so they don't have to be total crap piles. Got it for a hundred bucks. e30 bmw's seemed to be the popular car, but I'd just put an hp weight limit. Say 170hp and 2200lbs or something like that. Some of the old 60's japanese cars would be perfect.

The rule book is a worth a read...

I am down for that. I have the old Volvo Wagon I bought from the used car lot and I never changed the oil. Doesn't stop me from pulling it out online though. Thing can hit 82 mph under it's own power! Last night we were on SSR5 and they were pushing me down the straight. Got my wagon up to 124mph lol!

 

[badger_mk2]

If the limit was 200bhp id be happy, I have what I think is the worlds fastest Diahatsu at 180BHP. It was a beater, not so much anymore so its probably not that fair to use xD

 

[Crumpet]

Sounds like fun! Count me in!

Some coworkers and I have been wanting to participate in the West Virginia race in 2011. (We're from Ohio, but there aren't any in Ohio, though I wish they'd have one at Mid-Ohio.)

 

[orthow]

this would be a hilarious event, I support it haha

 

[Harley45]

Samba Buses completley stock all rip snorting 32BHP .

Just too really ram home that Top Gear challenge

Do go-karts have headlights? 0.o scary.....

 

[Negrumir]

I would totally grab my Honda Life Step Van and trash all y'all's cars. Thing is a beast.

Someone needs to organize this event, maybe not 24 hours though, that's a little too long for my free time.

 

[returpack]

Too bad the old Daimler-Benz cars are not included in GT5

 

[FlyWire]

How we manage the BSF?

That bus is a premium model, it should smash up very nicely over the course of a "race" and no dqs!
