Can a stock Elise 190...?

[milefile]

Can a stock Elise 190 win the European Championship in Amateur League? Not including tires, of course.

Even with tires, I believe you'll need quicker times than the Stock set-up will give you.

Good luck and keep us posted if you attempt it.

Oops. I was wrong about the race. I meant the European Cup Enduro.

 

[Der Alta]

Now I'm really confused? Do you mean Rome?

If so, I've heard of it being done in a BMW, and a Clio. I've done it in an RX-8 (check my compendium for the results).

The only two enduros that call for a "stock" car are Trial Mtn, and The roadster race at GVS. The Lotus is quick. and with Boombexus, MR. P or Lotus350 driving, it could be done without problem.
I might be able to do if I happen to be having a great concentration day. If the Clio can do it the Lotus surely can.

i think it's possible, i mean i beat all the skyline cups with a stock r34 v-spec II. so to me, anything's possible. just race ur heart out and get mad if your in second place. HAHA

bone stock, iffy.
if you can scrape enough cash together to slap some T2s or something on it, by all means, do. if not, then you may want to practice a bit before going at the races.

A stock Elise 190 WILL NOT be able to beat the Amatuer League European Championship.

A stock Elise WOULd be able to beat the 2 hour Rome Endurance, if you had like T2's or something, but it is not impossible.

Wow, now there is one car I hate, the Elise, never was so happy as when I finally finished that series. I don't think it's possible.

hell not!!!!!!!!!!!!! no way hosae

 

[Vasco]

Elise 190? I dunno about that...

 

[Old Geezer]

I'm NEW to the Forum & relatively NEW to the GAME, but if you mean the 5 Race Series the answer is YES!! I tried it this morning w/Elise I won, only changed the Oil & Tires. Placed 2nd in Rome, 3rd in Rome II & Won the other 3.

Welcome to GTP, UB57. It's a great place - ask good questions, give good answers! Based on your .sig line, it doesn't seem you're exactly new to GT3 though...

Again, welcome.

 

[Old Geezer]

Hi ND, thanx for the welcome. Was introduced to the game about 6 months ago by my nephew. Have lots of time to play since I'm "Semi-retired." Wish I'd have discovered this forum sooner as I had to figure out a lot of things the "LONG WAY." (I'm not interested in other games, GT3 & WRC are the ONLY games I own & the reason I bought a PS2.) Also wouldn't have attempted winning 100% w/all Road Cars if I knew I couldn't enter, much less WIN the F-1 races!!! Thanx again...UB57

 

[Duke]

Ah, another elder sort. I was feeling like the old man (I'm turning 38 in a few weeks) around here. I also have WRC but I'm rather disappointed in the game play.

May I suggest that you take a read through the GT3 Writeups board and make some contributions? I'd be interested to hear about your road-cars-only game.

Anyway, that's enough thread piracy here. I yell a lot about staying on-topic so I better not set a bad example...

 

[Vasco]

So i'm guessing that the only percentage you're missing UB57 is from the F1 race?

By the way, welcome to GTP

 

[Old Geezer]

Yes indeed, didn't do my homework, thought I just MIGHT be able to keep up w/F-1s in a fully modded GT1 Road car!!! Have since found out I can't even do it in a GT1 Race Car!!! Thanx for the welcome..........................UB57

 

[Gil]

UB57,
Could you keep up in the 787 with hard tires? You would get smoked initially, but if you were pitting every 10-12 laps, Shouldn't you come out ahead.
I did this series in my F094/s. (The expensive one). What a tight series of races that was. I think it's the only series in the game where the AI has a bit of a brain.

 

[Vasco]

You would probably just come out about even, even with the pit time difference, I did it in a Polyphony 001.

 

[Old Geezer]

Hi Gil, Thanx for the hint!!! I only tried once at Grand Valley & got smoked bad in the GT1 Racer, gave up after only a few laps. Will give the "Screamin'" Mazda a try soon. It's was my favorite LM Car my first time thru but kinda forgot about it.
Thanx again.....UB57

 

[Gil]

No problem,
I did the F1's in one of the F094's. I won the championship. But, I'm here to tell you I think my downforce settings were uppinmg my tire wear and I had some sphincter clinching moments.
