Goliath Times Recording Thread (D-A class)

[T G M]

I will try and remember to update this thread as I go along throughout the game, I'm going up to only A class as I'm mostly useless once adjustable suspension comes into play which becomes vital in S1/S2/R.

Usually these will be my own tunes and I'll note their share codes if they're available, along with when I've used somebody else's, most will also be from a standing start (though you can drive back up the course at the start to set up a flying lap straight away) but I'll also note if they were on a flying lap too, a standing start leaves open the possibility of me being able to set a new time with a competitive but more interesting car than the current fastest if I come across it.

All my times are done with auto, ABS on and TCS + STM off....

I won't make bumping my own thread a regular thing but I think I may be done with C class already....

I struggle to see anything that could get even close to that in auto outside of the Beat and Peel which I have zero intention of ever using.

Just a shame the 240SX itself can only be obtained through luck and grinding, had I got it in a wheelspin in the first couple of weeks and done this I'd have briefly held the WR, AP CODCAOS in that Beat was #1 for a while before those stupid Peels started being used.

To be honest, I don't think I could handle driving a Peel for 30 minutes in this game.

I dread to think of what it would be like in D class 😱

I've added a few more to the list just now, been having computer problems so haven't been doing many runs since updating this thread would mean going into Edge on Xbox, which is just painful, and the reset of course wiped the PB's off.

But it's been a good chance to start again and drive some different cars without the downer of knowing I'm driving something that has no chance of setting a PB.

Alfa Giulia from the car pack + the De Tomaso in A class.
Aston DB7 in B class.
Chevy Impala in C class.

And finally D class....

Was originally in a Transit SSV only a few days ago, then massively improved the Lincoln (who's original time + tune I've deleted and replaced with the new one) by nearly a full minute, then came the 240SX once again, first sub 31 on 4 wheels in C class as per further up, and now the first sub 34 on 4 wheels in D class, fastest one even pre-reset was my 34:07 in GreetedDust's '86 Civic, I hope I haven't just inadvertently created a new spam car for D Road/Street, I know it's a nuisance to obtain the car but it seems from who has that absolutely nobody has so much as looked at it up to now as a viable option, the most popular tunes available for it in D class are useless and I think I am the only person in a tuned 240SX on the whole leaderboard so far.

I'll try and keep the list updated with at least new exclusives/interesting car pass/pack cars provided they're somewhat suitable for Goliath, outside of that 240SX in D class I don't plan on going back to those fastest cars pre-reset until I've exhausted all other options or something unusual surprises me and beats them anyway.
