The finishing order bears out the truth of what you're saying about the dry track - all the leaders usually use RS/IM/RS, while the lower order are all AI that uses IM. So the ones that used the IM/pit-in-5 strategy didn't come out on top for this particular race.

At this rate someone is going to crack 24:00 and throw the judges in the tent into a tizzy. :lol:
(It's supposed to be a 24M race. :sly: )

I noticed that the drivers had a different pit strategy. Usually at the end of lap 2 I am in 4th place and 2 of the cars in front will go into the pits. I can then get to 1st place near the 6 minute mark. This time around, none of the lead vehicles went into the pits and I didn't take 1st place until near the 7 minute mark. I also noticed that the rain started later in lap 1. I wonder if PD has decided to make it easier since they just introduced new events.
 
Had another go with the Mazda Furai:
At the start of the race it was 77 degrees. Started on IM tires and pitted at the end of lap # 5 for another set of IM tires.
Finishing race time was 24:49.106 and I lapped 10 cars (a bunch of non-rabbits, who don't seem partial to the rain!;)):

In the picture below you can see that the 7th place car has just entered the pits as I streak past for my race win!:)

Guys, please inform me right away of any changes - entries will be open for a few more hours (Friday 12.00Hours UTC/GMT) For some of you Thursday (Nov 5th) may be gone - but as long as Thursday exists somewhere in the world - we have time.

Also please note - there is now a runner-up prize in The nowcontrol Seasonal Trophy.
Yes, I know it's a game we're playing, a sport amongst ourselves - but it's also nice to pretend we're winning the kind of stuff RL racing drivers win. So the cash and cars are real - though the cars may be only touched, not gotten into and driven. :lol:

Back later. RL beckons, showing me gifts.

Does it have to be Tsukuba ?
 
@nowayback - you may pick from the Novice or Amateur Cup races within Career Mode - but it will a Restricted Event (Licenced Hunters Only) as the settings will be unverifiable and honour-bound.

I have a new Whoosier-ruled Event for the Beginner level at Tsukuba - and believe me - it's going to be a sure cure for boredom. :D

Further news - I have it on strong authority that one of the miniature model cars in the second prize for The nowcontrol Seasonal at Eifel is none other than a Furai. the rest are Japanese racers and street cars. I saw a bunch of GT-Rs. :mischievous:

Go for it Photon !You choose beginner event . :bowdown:
 
Done. Check the OP. :cheers:

Do this challenge 3 times in a row with the same field and prepare to be blown away by exactly how perceptive these rabbits are and what they will do to stop you from achieving your objective.

As for the Roadster RS '07 . . . . I am speechless at this car's incredible performance - this is a world-class sports car and at the top of its own class.

I know you cops out there work on limited budgets - so you probably don't have a PS3 and a wheel down at the station - but do this event at home and improve your scout-car skills; when the time comes you will be just that little bit more ready. ;)

In other words - not a good event to practise one's getaway-driver skills.

Nice and relaxing event for me Photonrider and no stress :).
 
Wow these little car drivers get impatient when they are stuck behind me! :lol:
It's a lot of fun watching them squirm back there, then watching them try to work together to move around me! :cheers:

When I was chatting with nowcontrol getting his approval for this Event I wondered if anybody would break 24.00 at Eifel. It seemed a nigh impossibility at the time.
Obviously the way a real 24 Enduro would be run would be by Time and not Quantity of Laps - whereas the current A-Spec at Eifel that we are using for a 24M event is actually won by amount of laps - not whether the driver/car combo can endure longer than 24M.
But this is exciting - nowayback, with that phenomenal playing skill of his (he actually doesn't like driving IRL :boggled: ) has shown that this is actually possible - that on a perfect day the weather, strategy selected, car, and field all come together to give that zoned sub-twenty-four minutes of absolute racing perfection.
To get to that state itself is reward.

Can the Furai break 24M at this race? That would be a record - and that would be history probably remembered by us long after we have moved on.
Even then, as is, the top time in here at that Event is enough to halt us all in stunned amazement. Great job @nowayback - you inspire. We can do better.

_________________

I went into my Garage to pick a car with the intention of creating a 2X Event from within the Arcade Mode, as well as explore TheInfamousJEW6's King Cobra Event and stumbled across my brand new CIEN. Memories of how much I used this car in GT5 came rushing back and so I had to take it out to the Arcade.
I have hardly used the Arcade Mode - maybe an hour or so in total of my GT6 playing time and was totally pleased by what the game did.
Race after race, my stock Cien, and then lightly boosted to 600PP, gave me field after field of supercars, dreamcars, hot rods and other exotics - and the fields kept getting stronger and stranger with the AI names almost all non-Career Mode/seasonal AI. - while my laptime kept improving.
I better stay away from the Arcade or I'll never get anything done.
 
So I had to go back and play with Cobra some more, and I think I found the fast Driver/Car combo, for MY AI anyway! :lol:

20151106_105606.jpg


The first time I found the ZZII it had a different driver and was much slower. I won and rebooted the event and earned this field. I'm very curious to see what/who is thrown at me the next time I run it! :cheers:
 
I am totally sore from my workout last night with the Cien. It became so addictive - 1 lap races at the Nordschleif. Race, win, try new field - on and on and on.
There is a psychological negative to this - no credits, no nothing. It seems like we are doing it for nothing - but that is because we're programmed to look for more than just the pure racing experience itself.
Had some great drag races down the final straight.
I'm totally hooked on the Arcade for the moment. The fact we can use that sector to play custom tracks blows my mind. The AI just come alive.
🤬 hell.

We need to live longer. :irked:
 
Managed to get a pic of the Second Prize in The nowcontrol Seasonal - the model cars that are a little bit more real than the cars we usually win in the regular Seasonal A-Spec races. You can actually race these across your table-top. :lol:

I think it's quite possible though that these models are in-game and you may race their virtual counterparts. :mischievous:

I can't provide a picture of the $25.00 credit card since those details are only for the First Prize winner. :p

Finally ! Rain 33 and 61 % , big difference not getting to 70-80 % . Only 1 5sec penalty, back makers a pain though .
2015-11-08 15.50.06.jpg
 
1 penalty for ramming, becuse some GT-R pushed me off the track, and 1 visit into the grass due to a late braking from my part, together with some minor mistakes here and there, I believe its fully possible to get into the 22's

Quick fly-by (very busy) to put your mind at rest, Hall.
Your photo of the cars visual positions agree with the various gaps on your leaderboard.
Because Griffith's time was .694 behind P11 (van der Berg) that would be added to van der Berg's 02.432 to make 03.126. This is the judgement I'm getting from the Most High Council (don't ask me what sort of 'high' - it comes from the highest of highs where everything turns to one colour:

@hall90 - Your time in the Licenced-to-Kill Pacemaker is 03.126

______________


So many new developments in here! Back later. 👍
 
**** I'm having trouble coming up with something for the beginner race. I've tried out a few ideas but 6 laps in a slow car can be pretty soporific. I thought maybe "how many cars can you lap?" but even with a fully decked out GSX-R I couldn't quite catch the back-marker.

After a little lineup hunting, I have found that its possible to catch the Tsukuba caboose.;):)

Actually, I been able to find two different cars ( from separate races) that are slow enough to catch:

Using my 400PP Vauxhall VX220: here's a picture of the finish line after just passing the Mazda Demio Sport '03:

And here's a picture of the finish line just after passing the Toyota Vitz RS 1.5 '00 to put him a lap down at the line:)

The whole idea behind the Licence-to-Kill Pacemaker event is about mastering handling of a particular car - as well as controlling a flock of insubordinate vehicles.
The moves and decisions one has to make to compress this field and then control them till they are all over the line in less than 5 seconds, are not moves you will normally encounter - until you get into trouble. Or have to take evasive or defensive action against other racers.
We have these events in the form of 'Pace-car' and 'Commander' events - where players can get to test a variety of other driving skills that don't necessarily involve going as fast as one can way ahead of the pack.
Knowledge of the field, and a cunning plan to rearrange the running order while in-race is the key to bringing this entire field over the finish line in under 3 seconds.

So - when you get this:

tsukubakill01_zpswwcyrue7.jpg


. . . and see that you have two back-markers that must be encouraged to move up front, then you go and let those drivers know it - by moving them up in the field - so that the faster drivers behind them will now push them. Or you can search for another field that has back-markers that are a little bit faster:

tsukubakill02_zps7k3yjoqu.jpg


Once the game knows what your intentions are it will do its best to speed up the leaders while slowing the backmarkers down even further. That's the way the game challenges you - and lets you know that it is ready to play - whatever driving game you want to play. :D
 
@GTsail290 Excellent rabbit hunting. So the answer to the question "How many cars can you overtake?" seems to be one. Would two be possible? If not I can't see a way of making a contest out of it still. If you have any ideas you're welcome to my ticket.

I had a go in @Ed_Night 's Volvo. I had one already in my garage with just 21 miles on the clock so took it off to the tuning shop for a make-over. If I tune car I always paint it an outlandish colour so it stands out. Tried a few colours but they didn't really suit so in the end settled for beige. Interesting tuning exercise trying to teach it how to turn. Couldn't quite match Ed's time but no surprise there.
