Lightened Acura Type R at about 415 pp does the trick. Changed tires. Funny.

 

[AlexAlien]

Lowest PP on my Car list was this Camaro, easy win - Stock on Sport Hard tires

Update:
Bought the Granny of American Muscle, reduced some fat (all Weight Reduction),
added some muscle (Engine Stage 3) and put on some new tires (Sports Medium).
-> 440PP @ 1071kg

 

[OscarW]

Used the Shelby Series One and was 26 seconds ahead of the second place, not bad for a first try. Nice little credits grinder.

 

[AlexAlien]

Back to the Future Remake - Stock DeLorean (405PP @ 1288kg) on Sports Medium

 

[Racin510s]

Many thanks to @nowcontrol for continuing to do such an excellent job of posting the new seasonals.👍 I'm looking forward to this one.

 

[MidnightRun85]

Can't see this being difficult...

 

[AlexAlien]

Can't see this being difficult...

This Seasonal is really easy, so you either have to make it more challenging for your skill level (mine is <100 days racing, ~60 with a wheel), or try some other races.

Just tried the Solstice Coupe @ Stock (433PP, 1318kg, Comfort Soft Tires)

 

[Racin510s]

Won it with the Shelby Series One with tune by @shaunm80. Piece of cake. I have close to 1,000 miles on this one and it still is a winner.

Did you use the SH or SS tunes for this event?

 

[lfm58]

Full stock Ford RS200 '84 (432pp / SH Tyres)

8:07.823 win vs Shelby Series One Super Charged '03 with just 0.108 gap.

PAD, AT, ABS =1 only.

Ciao

EDIT: 08:02.010

 

[AlexAlien]

Lowest PP's so far for Wins:

432PP - Ford RS2000 - 8:09.551 (Stock)
405PP - DMC DeLorean - 8:12.488 (SM tires)
399PP - Pontiac Sunfire - 8:21.841 (SM tires, Transmission)

More fun for me with low PP's, but maybe tomorrow i'll go for best time

 

[UltimateLurker]

Fun drive.

 

[Jeje6410]

Easy win with my Chevrolet Camaro SS '10 500 PP (SH, SM) in this race

Good drive and enjoy

 

[Dspecht97]

A fairly easy win with a stock Acura RSX

 

[KimVieira]

 

[CBH]

Acura RSX Type-S ‘04 at 385PP is a good muscle car to use for this event.

 

[AlexAlien]

On SM-tires, correct? Still great time!

Detuning a Japanese 'American Muscle Car' , well done anyways!

 

[TheBense]

Full stock Ford RS200 '84 (432pp / SH Tyres)

8:07.823 win vs Shelby Series One Super Charged '03 with just 0.108 gap.

PAD, AT, ABS =1 only.

Ciao

EDIT: 08:02.010

Awesome. I'm also using a RS200. I've got all modifications available, Stage3, high RPM turbo. 76.9% power limiter. And the most over-engineered gear ratios that I change/save for each track.

ABS: 1
TCS: 0/1 depending upon how sleepy I am

I need to learn more about suspension tuning.

 

[AlexAlien]

OK, a new low for me

369PP - Eagle Talon Esi '97 on SM-Tires, with fully customized Transmission and Stage 1 Engine Tuning, all else Stock.

Easier win for better drivers for sure

Edit: As you approach Eagle Talon, its athletic stance signals that this car isn't at home standing still. Like a sprinter waiting in the blocks for the starter's pistol to sound, Talon eagerly anticipates your turning the ignition key. Opening the door, you can feel your adrenaline level rise.
(from the 1996 page on eaglecars.com)

 

[AlexAlien]

Now probably the least eligible of all eligible cars

366PP - Scion xA '03 on SM-Tires, with fully customized Transmission and Stage 3 Engine Tuning, all else Stock.

"Another version of the Toyota ist, made for young Americans."

 

[AlexAlien]

Coming closer to my limit - have to move it

The 2nd least eligible eligible car, is it even build in the US? Definitely no Muscle!

359PP - Ford Ka '01 (tuned to meet 359PP @ 122BHP, 965kg)

Could improve Suspension (Racing Susp. used), LSD (FC on default), Power settings, Weight redistribution and last but not least driving.

PS: Sorry for 3 posts in a row, but they are for 3 different cars, posted hours apart.

 

[Racin510s]

Did you use the SH or SS tunes for this event?

Howdy Shaun, I used SM for this one. This car is amazing. For me this is my first choice of all the cars in my garage. If I could only get it to work at the 🤬 TT at Eifel Flat. Other than that I am going to buy a new one so that I have a back up. IMHO this is one of the best of your tunes.👍👍👍👍👍.

 

[Dspecht97]

On SM-tires, correct? Still great time!

I used the stock tires it came with (comfort soft). It was an interesting experience.

Sorry for not believing the time i see above was on CS

You should post that great result in the Stock Thread T.Fujiwara.

 

[MidnightRun85]

Used the Charger SRT8 for this. Really straightforward race. Even spent the final lap trying to see how sideways I could get...

 

[Wolf68]

Used an older tune I came up with for one of the other events.

 

[lfm58]
