Grand Valley Compact Challenge

[HaylRayzor]

Event: Compact Car Seasonal
Track: Grand Valley East

Car: Mini Marcos GT - New from Online Collector Dealership
Mods:
Oil Change
Sport Soft Tires
Racing Air Filter
Sports Catalytic Converter
No other changes from stock
No aids except ABS1

You will catch the AI cars in the corners and often they will be 2 wide, almost completely blocking the track. The trick is NOT to get held up. And whatever you do, don't bump into the back of any AI car.

This one reminds me alot of the Fiat 500 event.

I must give this a go later. Which dealership do you get the Marcos at again? (My own one is maxed for the supercar seasonal.)

P.S. I assume it's the compact seasonal?

Marcos is in the new OCD, check OP again

Sounds interesting.

Oops. Thought he said UCD. lol *Now, where did I leave my glasses...?*

I'll work on settings for the other tracks when I can. I prefer to start pure stock and work my way up.

For GV I made about 20 runs before I got to settings above.

I enjoy these slower races a lot more than the fast races; I'll give this challenge a try

So what does this add up to in Pounds, Shillings and Performance Points?

 

[HaylRayzor]

Car: Beetle Standard 1100
All tuning parts. 374PP
Sport Medium Tires.

You might think this one would be too easy but even with all tuning parts installed this car is SLOW.

I found sport soft to be slightly too easy. I won it by about 3 seconds. But sport mediums certainly made it a challenge. Just barely managed to nip him in the last turn.

So what does this add up to in Pounds, Shillings and Performance Points?

In reference to the Mini Marcos, it comes to 399PP. But the stock suspension, drivetrain, and transmission makes it more difficult than the PP level would indicate.

That Marcos is a great car for latest seasonals.

I like this track/challenge i've tried several 'underpowered' cars here with mixed results, strangely i didn't get past second place with the Honda? (premium model with a strange name, it's half electric) But good fun & very hard if you want to push the mini & ford to last place and/or use an "crappy" car.
I'm not being helped much by that 'garage' button, looking for cars who are qualified to race can be a 'challenge' on its own
Non the less this track/challenge are going to be used on a regular basis by me:tup:

I have never been a fan of grinding. I just cannot get motivated when I have nothing new to accomplish. But I have been grinding the compact car seasonal and the reason is that the car I use is so enjoyable and rewarding to drive...

I use a completely stock Renault 5 Turbo '80 on comfort soft tyres.

Driving that car is almost like ballet dancing.
