Okay, let's get this started.

 

[itsgood2slide]

I used the Esprit Sport 350 with Shaun's tune for a comfortable win (8.58). Overtook the Rocket in the first half of the last lap and lapped an Elise at the final corner.

Here's the tune: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...seasonal-setups.300860/page-137#post-10187086

Will i ever get the hang of this track?

A juiced up TVR V8S '91 was good enough for Gold, but since i tuned it myself it was just that

Enjoy this one ... and again thanks to @nowcontrol for setting up the thread!

---------------
EDIT: Was trying the Stock TVR Tuscan Speed without success , took a break, came back and no Rocket in the line-up - felt like cheating

550PP at Brands Hatch:
500PP - 1:39.832 - 9:15.939 - TVR Tuscan Speed 6 '00 - SH - FR - 360bhp - 1100kg - Seven Fireblade '02 - 9:22.008
(Wheel, MT, ABS1)

[AlexAlien]

Mediocre driving didn't stop me - without a Rocket in the line-up again, on purpose, as the Elise was Stock

550PP at Brands Hatch:
440PP - 1:41.478 - 9:26.669 - Lotus Elise 111R '04 - SH - MR - 194bhp - 860kg - Seven Fireblade '02 - 9:28.242
(Wheel, MT, ABS1)

At this PP it doesn't feel like cheatin' anymore - still doesn't feel like racin' either

Ran a lightweight 12C in 8:34.xxx, so the aliens can probably run under the 8:30. Easy seasonal, real easy.

First attempt a win the the MP-4C and I was determined to beat Mr. Pap in the prize AC 427. With a little help from part of @GhostRider65 tune and part of my own which I have been learning from @skeagracing I got Pap on the last lap. The only performance part on the AC was the supercharger. Did my own tranny but used @GhostRider65 LSD settings. The McLaren at 550 PP was a fun race. The race in the AC was a challenge as I spun out twice but running a 4.11 final drive and all that torque was more than enough to overcome my spin. I am determined to lower my lap times with the AC. I love this car and it is one of the few that actually sound like a real car.

Can't believe how many times I posted in the wrong place today. I have definitely had the brain fog today.

@AlexAlien!!

Papp turned up in my race too. I used an Elise111R, which was pretty hairy at 520pp. I don't know if it goes higher, I didn't check, it just happened to be the first eligible car that popped up in my garage. Starting 51 seconds behind irritated me, then it was a balls-out smash and bang fest to get to the front, only to have Papp pretty much give up when I got close.

  Ended up posting in the wrong place twice today. Brain fog is a terrible thing.

I use my McLaren MP4-12C '10, I thought that D. Papp would be a lot closer than this.

 

[Wolf68]

I used the Elise 111 R for the gold 9:05.487. Going to try some other cars....

I tried very hard to match your time last night, but it wasn't to be. Not like it matters, had I beaten it you would have certainly beat my time again by several seconds lol.

 

[Racin510s]

This couldn't be the same D.Pap as the previous event or I'm a much better driver than I was the last time this event was run. I took my '04 Elise 111R at 544PP and with the exception of getting in the dirt right after I passed Pap, I was able to easily catch and pass him again for the win. The '04 Elise is from a previous event because when I got in it it had comfort softs. I put sports hards on it and just went on. Not my tune but one of @shaunm80 tunes. I also have been watching the YouTube video of Brands Hatch by @Tidgney. I'm getting through the first turn much better and after I passed Pap at the end of lap 4 I just over drove the corner and got in the sand pit. I figured I was done, but was able to catch and pass him again 2 turns later.

Edit: Has Pap been in every race that everyone has entered? Please let me know. I saw that @Baron Blitz Red used the Spitfire to win. I bought one and tuned it to the max so it has 502 PP. I entered the race and Pap was in P2. Before the first lap was finished I was 48 seconds behind. I finished P2 nearly 18 seconds behind. I added ballast which lowered my power but the car handles very well. Now I'm a bit confused.

How many AI cars did you lap ?, I lap 3 cars and I was amazed how easy this expert race was. I am going to test others cars with a lot less PP.

Stock Elise 111R '04 is fun.

 

[Baron Blitz Red]

Has Pap been in every race that everyone has entered? Please let me know.

I've ran this one only 3 separate times, and Papp has only been there once... 33% for me so far.

Cheers

 

[coryclifford]

I had to cycle through many times to not see Papp.

Same here about Papp.

 

[Jeje6410]

Easy win with my McLaren MP4-12C '10 550PP (SH)

Good drive and enjoy

 

[UltimateLurker]

I never look at the names unless one of them acts weird, or is ultra competitive. I didn't see either in this race, I passed all the cars in the McLaren like they were sitting still. But I'll look next time.

I think 3 as well. I'm going to try my favorite Elise tonight, I think it's 507PP.

 

[Racin510s]

Thanks to all who let me know about Pap.👍 I've run this event 8 times and Pap has been in every one. I have beat him every time except with my Spitfire. I guess I'll just keep entering until he is not there so I can run my Spitfire. @coryclifford, you are right about the Elise 111R, it is a blast to drive.

I tried 8 times to try and find a no Pap raceso the Spitfire will go back to the garage for the time being. I didn't have many British cars kinda like my lack of Ferarris at Ascari. I bought 2 TVR's. A '91 V8s, an '02 Tamora and another Lotus, '09 Evora. Won every race against Pap. I used @shaunm80 tune for the Tamora with tweaks of my own and man what a fun race. Caught Pap in lap 4, lapped an Elise on lap 5. Brands Hatch was another track I previously struggled with but now it's fun at this PP level. I only took one picture and that was with the Tamora. I tuned my TVR's and the Evora, but used @shaunm80 LSD setting and added rigidity. Really fun car to drive. Pay out should be more but with the 200%, 1 Million credits per race and on top of that it's been fun. I guess I'll go to Rome and buy some more Italian cars.

 

[UltimateLurker]

Man, I don't know how many laps I have on this track with this car, but it's a hell of a lot...and I still can't do a single race without at least 1 grievous error. Not a fun drive, better to choose the McLaren for sure.

Every race but the first one where there were two Caterhams.

 

[Polsixe]

Having fun with prize car AC Cobra, needs some tuning to get under 1200kg and driveable. Need under 1:40 laps to beat D.Papp. Brands Hatch a nice track in GT6, turns and elevation changes.

 

[Jeje6410]

It's not an easy-to-use car (it does not like late braking, or sudden steering changes) but you easily win that race with my Lotus Evora '09 550 PP (SH)

Good drive and enjoy

How much did you stoke up the Spit?
