The Challenge

Run a lap -- Tsukuba
-- Tsukuba WET
-- Nürburgring


The Rules

The cars maximum cost is 150,000 Cr. (PAL version)
It's a family car , so it has to have 4 doors (5 doors with trunk. :) ) (I know a family car doesn't always have 4 doors )

The car can not be a prize car.
The car can not be modified
Also mind the type of car you choose , of course you can buy a Lance evolution etc. , but then the whole idea of 'family car' is gone :)

-Tuning

To keep things realistic , very few tuning parts are allowed.

Post your impression about the car . The feel and so on and so on

Have fun driving !
You are allowed to place --- a sports exhaust
--- a chip upgrade
--- a sports suspension upgrade
--- a rigidity refresher upgrade (if needed)
These upgrades DO NOT count towards your budget of 150,000 Cr.

TIRES.
All cars run at N tyres.

Oil and rims are allowed.

The ride really surprised me , it was very smooth , for a stock suspension.
however , the top speed and acceleration are below level , but when you
look at the HP , U can see why.

Time could have been better , but I'm too lazy to make more than 2 laps now :)

This car can do better , it wasnt exactly a clean lap :s

Well...I found the suspension a bit wobbly , acceleration and top speed
were reasonable. I liked the exhaust note too.
The main thing is it is a cheap car. Well worth it's money.

The car looks great , that's for sure. The stock suspension is quite stiff.
imo, the car had an amazing amount of understeer. This isn't a bad car, but with these settings and upgrades not really a supercar. As long as father can get back to work, to buy some more expensive cars. :D

NOTE : When u sell this car again , u lose more than 80,000 Cr. !
the value afterwards is 22,382 Cr. :nervous:

To give a more accurate lap time comparision , from now on , the laps can be
done in B-spec. I will A-spec the car afterwards to give u a description of the car.

The driver doesn't seem to have a problem with the car , smooth lines and a very clean lap
Very nice exhaust note , btw.


Tsukuba WET
1'23.172
Because of some unknown dark reason the B-spec driver is affraid of water. So A-specd this one

Nürburgring Nordschleife

A-spec a clean lap :)

The more I drive these nearly stock cars , the more I notice how much the aids slow down your car. The BMW has a naturally tendency to understeer , and I hate understeer. The trick here (and nearly always) is come in slow , go out fast. So brake!

I liked the car's shape and the exhaust note . The stock suspension is quite hard, but not bumpy.The brakes are moderate to good.
 
Make your mind up, that's too vague, no modifying then you name parts, family car then you exclude Evo's and the like. Name a car.
 
A modified car is a car like a race car. If u had for example a BMW 120d RACE car , that would be modified.

I didn't exclude any car , That was just a pointer , If u wish , I will delete that line from my post ? Sorry if u misunderstood it, but I hope u get my point
 
Hi,

This should really be in the 'Spot Races and Lap Time Comparisons' section of the On-Line Racing forum, where you can post challenge ideas like this 👍 ... so off we go ...

edit: The 'Community' tab at the top of the screen is the real key to GTPlanet ;)
 
Thank you Touring Mars. To be honest , I couldn't find this forum ;) :).
 
Sorry for the double post though.

Well ... It had to happen once...
Dad is tired of his nice and smooth slow cars. Now he wants a performance
machine , He went to the Michu store and wanted to have a toycar for grown-ups.
He bought himself a

buy one !

NOTE; If u brake a 4 wheel drive in a straight line , try using AND the brake AND the handbrake,
It actually works :) . Then when you've done that , u can release your normal brake first,
steer and then release your E-brake.

I was really surprised about this lap. I've been off-road at least 5 times abut I'm VERY happy with my time

As you could read, I've done all three races on A-spec. If you've read my previous notice about aids ,I will tell you that
I've done these three laps w/o ASM aids. And it worked , pretty well. As I hate to say this , but I liked this car. It was fun to drive , The AWD understeer was barely noticable , at least if u followed the basic rules of AWD steering. The lap round the ring was extraordinary. Won't happen twice believe me.
Nothing to remark about the suspension.
Fun car it is !
