How about this rule? You need to repaint the 'Wagen before you enter the race. Preferably something outrageous or tacky.
 
I'm gonna see how fast I can get a Prius around the ring. I wish they had an option for 'fuel-efficient' (ie: rock hard) tires on the tuning garage.
 
I did a four lap race with Kubelwagens on a 5.8 mile race track I made with the editor, and boy, it was a test of patience.

One hint: stock Kubelwagens top at 51 mph, but there is a way to make them go faster, I made my stock 'wagen go up to 84 mph...

More than ever, a good reason for a livery editor...! Shame there's no polka dot paint chip... At least, waste a chrome paint chip on this. That would be AWESOME!

How about Silver Chrome? I have one in chrome. It looks idiotic, but people laugh when I go driftin in it :lol:

A Prius might be Considered a Performance Car in this Class :lol:

How did you get it up to 84 stock? Mine would never exceed 50, even with the hammer down going downhill at the 'Ring.

When you are on top of fourth gear downshift to third but do not brake. Do this on a downhill. The transmission will go into neutral, but the tach will be pegged at redline, even if you release the throttle. Watch as gravity slowly pulls you faster and faster down the hill.

I raced a stock Kubelwagen against other stock ones, and i was building 17 seconds lead per lap (with lots of downhill).
 
This is a great idea.

I have an idea on what to call a lap series, perhaps, acting like this:

The GTP Wacky Time Attacky!
 
Well I knocked 13 Seconds off me Lap Time at the 24HR Ring Track Last Night , Can't veiw the Replay as yet . Bob's are doing a 24 HR Race at the moment .

But using the gears Manually saved a bit of time .

Might try the Kuddleywagon thing next :lol:
 
So what is your best time with the Bus, Harley? I guess I'll have to buy one to challenge your Bonus Race 3b time! You didn't run it with Racing Softs I trust?

No one's posted a better time in the 'wagen yet, so I need some competition.

Roughly 18 mins 21 secs using Comfort Mediums , I can't see the point of using Race Tyres as it kinda defeats the Original "Crappy Drivers" idea :lol:

No Mods to the Samba just ABS 1 and nothing else .
 
Agreed. I was just being a smart-arse...as usual. Crappy drivers should always ride on crappy tires.

BTW - there's a new thread "Nordschiefe Fastest Times", think we should post our fastest Bus and Wagen times? I bet we enjoyed more of the scenery than the guy who claims to have run it in 3:50 in his X1. Although, it was a dark and dreary day when I ran it!

I was thinking ( happens occasionaly :dunce: ) we need a Name for this that fits the Stupidity of the Idea you thought of mate 👍

How about The Cluster**** Cup ? :dopey:

Oh yeah i've posted in the Nordschiefe Fastest Times Thread and got told i need to Tune the Van :lol:
 
17:03 something.....

That was fun, but does get a bit boring after a while. Might try it in something like Fiat 500 next.

That's why patience is one of the driver requirements!

So, the 17:03:xx...was that in the Bus RM or Kubelwagen RM?
 
That was in the kubelwagen without any changes and in the rain.

Might try it with the one-make race for variety.

Did a race with the Sambas round Daytona last night which was great fun.
