The following is my idea for GT5 A-Spec Racing:
During my recent run at La Sarthe in the 24 hour endurance race, I had the time to think about what else can be done in GT5 now that I've reached the 40/40 level.
I've decided to see if there were additional challenges available.
So I took out my trusty calculator and launched a few spreadsheets on my computer, and tried out a variety of scenarios. After multiple battery replacements and a bit of carpal tunnel, I have hit upon the following idea:
ACCUMULATE 10,000 A-Spec Points!
You may ask: How can we accumulate A-spec points?
Answer: By winning A-spec races with a car that has a lower PP value than that of the AI competition.
For example: a typical opponent in the FF Challenge - Beginner Series is the Honda Prelude Si VTEC '91. This Prelude has 211HP and weights 1280kg and has a PP value at this level of tune of 401. So if you run a race and beat the Honda Prelude (and all the other AI competitors in the race) using a car with a PP value of 311 (say a Mini Cooper 1.3i '98 with 57HP and weighting 720kg) you would earn 90 A-spec points.
The GOAL is 10,000 A-spec points because there are 127 A-spec races and I think that it might be possible to have an average score of about 75 at each race.
Can 10,000 points be reached?
RULES: (open to suggestions)
1) Tires: Equal or worse in grade to the AI (for example, the AI in the Sunday Cup race use Sport Hard tires (SH), so your car must use sport hard tires or worse)
2) Must win race to earn the A-spec points
Tire factors:
10% bonus for using tires one grade worse than AI
20% bonus for using tires two grades worse than AI
30% bonus for using tires three grades worse than AI
More to follow:
