I ran the Lunar Missions the day GT6 was released and got these times:

3:07.401
2:04.593
1:27.733

total 6:39.727

Awesome time, Max, well-done - another man who can handle low gravity. đź‘Ť
Because the records are evidence-based I'll be looking forward to those Screen Shots. đź‘Ť

Thank goodness the Red Devil Challenge at Death Valley is over:banghead::crazy:

My pit-crew is completely exhausted from changing the tires on my Red Devil every other lap!:dopey::lol:

I ran my Red Devil 1,036.5 miles at Death Valley:

Notice the complete lack of wins::drool::lol:

I never really had the chance to enjoy the Devil - my console crashed as soon as I did the race to get the 'benchmark' time for 'Arc Angel' and I never went back to the console till the new Seasonals appeared yesterday. Booted up my console, everything okay, ran each new event once or twice to get some new 'benchmark' graphics for this current round and that was that.
Still - the Red Devil is in the garage and I can take her out any time. She's a devil all right.
Meanwhile - there's more fun coming your way, GTsail!

I don't know. What did you last win? There was no tickets issued for the Gran Turismo Astronaut Event.
Was there a ticket for 'Peak Performer'? I'd have to go back and check the records.

If you wouldn't mind, please and thank you. Yes, the "Peak Performer" was my last accomplished win.

So you get to create a challenge using the current Expert Seasonal at the Green Hell. Have fun. :D

@photonrider - Are you reading my mind, or what?

Reading one mind is hard. A multitude makes a lot more noise. :lol:
BTW - what PP have you got?

StirlingMoose


Slow time in the RX7 as I was doing this on SH but I make that 11 points.

:irked: You got an extra Subaru?
I need to piss off more Subarus. Maybe if I go in and bang up a few of them, then recycle the field the stewards will load me up with ticked-off Subarus buzzing around me like angry hornets and trying to spin me and not let me win. These rabbits can be crazy.

Took the YellowHat GT-R to the Ring but couldn't do much better than 3rd. I'm awaiting someone going all out and bringing in an eye-opening benchmark to aim for.

I will update the OP after a few more timesheets are thrown in.
Bye for now. đź‘Ť
 
Hello there! I'm trying this for the first time.

I apologize for the grainy quality of the pictures, and the fact I'm using an old TV.

So, The Subie Killer challenge:

I used the Garaiya GT300 Base Model '08 and set a time of 4:25.025
WP_20160115_14_44_39_Pro.jpg

The Top Hatch Trophy:

I used the VW Scirocco R '10 and detuned it down to meet the max PP for the challenge. I set a time of 5:55.812 using this. If detuning like that isn't allowed, I'm more than fine with going back and trying with a different car.

Welcome to the hub. It's always nice to have new participants. And the Scirocco is fine. As long as it's a VW and can enter the race anything goes.

I read that as 8 Points in all - right? Room for improvement.. Actually I'm unsure as to what the maximum Subaru count would be - maybe 11? :lol: Once we get to getting the game in giving us that then it will be the battle for fastest time since all the top runners will have equal Position+Overtake points.
Fun.

Thanks for filling in, Moose. đź‘Ť

Got to run again, work, work, work . . . must find time at the console tonight.

Just one try at the Ring so far - so much fun awaits my playtime, and so many cars to try out here:
nurb500_zps2hudh5zr.jpg
 
Stratos:
Stock
CS
All aids off (incl. ABS)
BB: 3/3

Much, much more time to find, but I dont like this car stock. Its great when tuned because its so bonkers, but stock its just a bit too much tbh.

And here I thought that I set a good time. Looks like I gotta go see if I can shave some time!

Doesn't help that the Hatch isn't one of my favorite tracks.

Did you really think I'd given up chasing rabbits? :mischievous:

I never left, now seeing as my lead on the titles is gone I've got many reasons to put back on the hat, load up the rifle and start scalping some rabbits. :D

And I'm starting in space. :lol:

​

New Event as outlined above was posted up in the OP. This Event is for those with two titles or less (or even none at all) to have a chance on a non-alien level to have a go at grabbing a title. It also gives an opportunity for those players new to the game to try their hand at competitive events against players of similar skill.

http://www.karmannghiaconnection.com/history.html


________________________


Right now, as the standings show @StirlingMoose sits atop 2 Whoosier-Ruled events - which means either one of the P2s in those events stands a chance of grabbing whichever title he doesn't pick - if he does win both events at closing time. Good luck following him. ;)
