A-spec Expert Level Non-Racing Car Challenge: Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit

[XSquareStickIt]

Finally beat this event with the Viper. Judging by everyone else's times, I'm guessing I shouldn't have won this, heh. But winning this did involve the Huayra getting into a bit of a... unfortunate accident.

Drove very cautiously on the last lap to avoid unnecessary screw ups, plus I think I feel the SS tyres fading on me. Not to mention... y'know, it's a Viper.

Used the NISSAN CONCEPT 2020 Vision Gran Turismo for this one, the hybrid system really helps in the uphill sections and no problems with overheating tires thanks to the AWD.

This is a good challenge, need 2:05-2:08 laps depending on the rabbit. I had a nice win with an Enzo. Lots of rubbin' and racin' in this one just like the recent V8 Supercup race at this track last month. By the way, 2:08 with race car 600PP and RH tires was considered a Gold a Time in TT.

 

[TonyB66]

Only managed to.p beat this once with a ZZII. Been struggling with anything else against the Huayra. Must stop getting penalties.

RUF CTR2. Fast lap 2:08.582. Winning margin 05.103. Pass for the win on lap 5 at the Cutting Corner over the TVR Cerbera.

Finally managed to do it in my BMW M3 GTR

That is the key no penalties. You can do it for sure. Also any kind of side swiping of wall and other cars will slow you down.

Edit.: So, i get tired about not doing well with Ferrari and took the Audi R8 4.2 FSI R tronic '07, using a tune by Jeje6410 and ............... gold. I always liked this car, and than with jeje tune ... he becomes "My Préciousssss" (the car, not jeje ... ).
By the way ... thanks jeje .

The result:

Thanks a lot @Yeahnego for using my Audi R8 4.2 FSI R Tronic '07 for this event. It's a real pleasure to read your comments and your satisfaction. Thanks again my friend @Yeahnego

With the nissan concept I overtook the Huayra on lap 3 and won by 20 seconds, the final time was 10:38 and I had multiple 2:03 laps. You should try it for an easy win.

 

[purpdino]

Can confirm the Nissan Concept 2020 was a breeze.

 

[MoparGTS]

I'm liking the Cadillac more every time I use it.

 

[TonyB66]

Now beat this with a Pagini Huayra 11 and the Ford Gt40 Mrk 1...... That was a fun race.

 

[Yeahnego]

Well, using Ferrari 365GTB4 '71 ... a lot of mistakes in curves but i still trying; "almost" there.
...
i still gonna do it using ferrari while a huarya is on track as well (someone have a tune for this ferrari?)

"Yeah, baby, yeah" ... or "Yeah, nego, yeah"

So i did it. Wasn't easy but was a great ghallenge (and patience test ).

This was on last lap after Huayra passed me on the straight but too late breakes.

Niiiiiiice, i'm excited.

 

[hotsaucer]

This was a nice shoulder workout lol
Make sure you keep semi racing pipes they sound much better

 

[DisabledRacer]

Amazing how bad you can get without playing for nearly a month! Felt like I never raced before! I took the Boss 302 (598 PP...Forgot to check PP before race!) out for a spin and got a win against a wimpy field. Crappy time and crappy driving, but I do believe this is the first time I have ever got a win in a Mustang in an expert level seasonal? They usually aren't very competitive because they are so heavy...

Yep

Not too hard with the Alpine VGT. Actually felt like I was in a real race. 👍

Special shoutout to @OdeFinn and his special contribution to Mad Finn Tuners brand of tuned cars for getting me through this event with the RUF CTR2 '96. This also got me through a tough Cote d'Azur event about a year or so ago as well.

Hi,

Can some one explain this to me please?

I look at Cory's time (10.27) with a win. 2nd place 38 seconds behind.

I am running this event in a variety of cars. Finishing the event in around 10.45. Best I can manage so far is 5th place.

Am I missing something please?

Regards as always.

Ian.

It tends to be that if you don't gap them immediately, they'll race you and go faster than they normally would by outbraking and slipstreaming. So if you pass them, go as fast as possible. Same happens when you run into them, they will pull away from you.

 

[coryclifford]

Yep, and ramming them on purpose then drafting them is a good thing on those two long straights. But a bad thing everywhere else. Strategic Ramming™.

Just did five 2:00.xxx laps doing that.

Couldn't get the last lap in the picture.

 

[Barracuda413]

How can you ram them without getting a penalty?
Or are you able to catch them after the penalty?

Ram them straight in the back and not too hard. The superfast driving lasts for about 30 seconds, so you can catch them.

 

[coryclifford]

No penalty. Nice little tap on the back bumper. Maybe even a couple more. Bump drafting. Kicks them into launch mode.

 

[Barracuda413]

AH HA!
I have noticed light taps don't incur dreaded penalties
Never thought of using it to my advantage that way, thanks for the tip,

 

[coryclifford]

:tup:

 

[Ian JB]

Hmmmmm!

Strategic Ramming? I would call it Expert Ramming!

Thats not something you would want to Google in front of your mother or father :-)

Thanks for the tip though. I will try that next time out.

Best regards.

Ian.

It is not called ramming, it's called a love tap 👍.

 

[davidt33]

I enjoyed doing that just for kicks in all of these seasonal races. Going in front and blocking them too just to watch them get frustrated. haha. Was too funny.

, the one thing I like at this event at Bathurst is to catch the leader on lap 3 and just give him a love every now and then 👍.
