This challenge also serves as a driving school for people who prefer using cars for drag competitions, something GT series hasn't perfected yet. Each lesson brings new challenges from the world of straightaways you have to overcome to prove you're the best. Follow rules below and submit your times to Matej via PM. The challenge ends on 15th of January 2016.
Lesson I: Learning how to accelerate
Circuit: Machine Test (or Las Vegas Drag Strip) -> 0-400 m
Car: BMW 120d '04
Submission: 0-400 m time only
Car Parts & Services:
- Oiling
- Washing
- Transmission: Automatic (AT)
- Tires: Sports Medium (S2)
- TCS: 1
Note: As a diesel-powered car, the 120d delivers abundant amount of torque on certain zone. Carefully examine the power - torque graph and make sure you engage all of the available torque.
Lesson II: Learning to use benefits of a manual transmission
Circuit: Machine Test -> 0-1000 m
Car: Suzuki Alto Works RS-Z '97
Submission: Both 0-1000 m time and T1 split time
Car Parts & Services:
- Oiling
- Washing
- Transmission: Manual (MT)
- Tires: Sports Medium (S2)
- TCS: 0
Note: The RS-Z is powered by a demanding engine. Although great for city conditions, one must own advanced skills to use its maximum potential in racing conditions.
Special Note: Save replay of your satisfactory run in order to get access to the T1 split time. This is strongly recommended because if you do additional run afterwards, in case it is slower the game will only keep the 0-1000 record, not allowing you to view T1 split time of the best, previous run anymore.
Lesson III: Learning to use gearbox to boost performance of the car
Circuit: Machine Test -> 0-1000 m
Car: Alfa Romeo GTV 3.0 V6 24V '01
Submission: 0-1000 m time only
Car Parts & Services:
- Oiling
- Washing
- Semi-Racing Muffler
- Fully Custom. Gearbox
- Transmission: Manual (MT)
- Tires: Sports Medium (S2)
- TCS: 1
Note: High-rev engines require different gearbox setup to deliver full potential. Being a FF car, the GTV is also going to test your acceleration skills. Either delicate throttle dosage or altering the gearbox can be used to reduce wheelspin. The muffler upgrade is here to improve the sound effect and make the accelerating a bit more challenging.
Lesson IV: Learning to use suspension adjustments to improve acceleration
Circuit: Machine Test -> 0-1000 m
Car: Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 '70
Submission: Both 0-1000 m time and T1 split time
Car Parts & Services:
- Oiling
- Washing
- Semi-racing suspension kit
- Fully Custom. Gearbox (auto-set to 25 - must not be altered afterwards)
- Transmission: Automatic (AT)
- Tires: Sports Hard (S1)
- TCS: 1
Note: Muscle cars with their soft suspension and high ground clearance are perfect candidates for the task. Let's see how much you can do with basic upgrades. In order not to annul effect of perfectly adjusted suspension, I eliminated other factors that could disturb your focus on altering the kit.
Special Note: Save replay of your satisfactory run in order to get access to the T1 split time. This is strongly recommended because if you do additional run afterwards, in case it is slower the game will only keep the 0-1000 record, not allowing you to view T1 split time of the best, previous run anymore.
Lesson V: How to use Nitro strategically
A)
Circuit: Machine Test -> Max Speed
Car: Mine's Skyline GT-R N1 V-spec (R34) '00
Submission: Top Speed only
B)
Circuit: Driving Park > Test Course > Photo Drive
Car: Mine's Skyline GT-R N1 V-spec (R34) '00
Submission: T4 checkpoint split time only (if you miss it, view replay of the run)
Car Parts & Services:
- Oiling
- Washing
- Nitro
- Fully Custom. Gearbox
- Transmission: Manual (MT)
- Tires: Sports Soft (S3)
- TCS: 0
Note: This test is split into two parts, both which require separate submissions. Nitro is going to play crucial role on both, make sure you find the best way to cope against the drag using this sweet addition. You can alter suspension kit that comes with the car. Drive only inside the second line from the outside wall of the track:
Circuit: Machine Test -> 0-1000 m
Car: Toyota MR-S V-Edition '02 (available at the Toyota's New Dealership. It features 6-speed 'box)
Submission: Both 0-1000 m time and T1 split time
Car Parts & Services:
- Oiling
- Washing
- Close Gearbox OR Default gearbox
- NA Stage 2 OR Turbo kit Stage 2 OR Supercharger
- Transmission: Manual (MT)
- Tires: Sports Medium (S2)
- TCS: 0
Note: This test is related to different engine tuning patterns. Each upgrade brings certain virtues and drawbacks. Your task is to find the best one and lead the car to victory. You can also decide whether to replace gearbox with the aftermarket unit or not.
Special Note: Save replay of your satisfactory run in order to get access to the T1 split time. This is strongly recommended because if you do additional run afterwards, in case it is slower the game will only keep the 0-1000 record, not allowing you to view T1 split time of the best, previous run anymore.
Have fun!
