Deja vu battling Mr Papp again. :D

This is where it all started, eh, Hall?

Some memories from the past, records I've pulled from the Wall of Fame:

So once again we have the Pappster and his buddy in the Fireblade to deal with. Time to take out the 111 R again? :D

Deep Driver:
Quite a nice challenge. The VW Golf GTI Touring Car drives quite well, but it overwhelms its front tires going thru the corners so its an interesting challenge to catch and then beat the AI cars. I've been making steady progress on this as I continue to tweak my tune for the Golf GTI Touring Car. Its interesting how the Golf GTI doesn't like using the automatic transmission. It runs up to the rev-limiter and then gets stuck there briefly before shifting into the next gear. Being stuck on the rev-limiter significantly compromises your speed. I guess the automatic transmission in the Golf GTI just can't handle the horsepower!:eek:

After many/many attempts, I was able to crack the one second margin:
24998874034_b5afeb0483_b.jpg



After many more attempts, I have been able to crack the 1.5 second margin:

25262664319_72cfc4595b_b.jpg


After many more attempts (and I do mean many!!!), I have been able to crack the two second margin:)

See you in the Forest!

^^^Its an interesting challenge! There's a hill on the course that my Cuore Avanzato doesn't want to climb due to a nearly complete loss of traction.:eek: On the rest of the course, the AI cars are no match for my heavily tuned Cuore Avanzato:)
 
I've been able to climb a little higher on the Mountain Mover:

Good fun! ^^^ a nice round number at 7:41 flat!:) I'm still working on my tune so I'm sure I can find another second or two when I better understand how to drive the track.:cheers:

Spectacular. :)

I see Junya hanging back there, too.
The special AI set up for this race is quite fascinating - as compared to the original drivers that the 2013 NASCAR cars get in Career Mode.
While cars are supposed to be identical - especially across a specific model - the drivers perform quite differently in their cars in this seasonal race.
Definitely a lot of investigation needed - which means a lot of driving to do. :lol:

Some corrections:
'Cmdr. B. B. Boo' title has been changed to 'Cmdr B. B. Boogity' to better reflect the event's flavour and driving mission; this is a 'commander' event.
Event Open Time has been extended in 'The Mountain Mover' event to now coincide with the closing time of the other events and hold it in place with this round of events.
Added: Player must win in 'The Inimitable Intimidator' event.


Edit: Took the Marcos out for a run and was surprised how well it behaved: Had only 2 races before I realized a good tune could help me improve my time, though final time is not so important to me as actually winning against Papp in the mighty Marcos. Great challenge and definitely one that every player should work on; the way I see it if you can actually achieve P1 then you must be quite a decent driver.

More work to do for me, so I'm looking forward to it:

As some guy called Caldwell said well: 'If it doesn't challenge you it won't change you.'

I'm able to reach second place with the Mighty Marcos vs Da Papp, but first place seems a bridge too far..... I need to find seven seconds:drool:

I'm going to continue to work on this and see if I can find another second or two:boggled:
:cheers:
 
Guys . . . I post up an event - and then get beaten so badly in 24 hours? :crazy:
This is humiliating. I expect to put up 10:58 and someone comes along and posts 10:50 . . . okay . . and someone else comes along and does 10:45 . . . good . . . and someone comes along and takes a few seconds off again . . okay . . . but this taking almost a whole minute off my time as soon as i turn my back is getting a trifle irritating.

That's the name of the game I s'pose. :grumpy:

:) All right, I'm kidding, I'm loving it - great to see an event getting popular. It's a super race - long time since we thrashed Bathurst and the 155 TI is a sheer blast to drive on this course. Gearing is important - TBH, I had only one shot at it to generate a screenshot for the challenge, so I know that a very good time can be made here - I was actually dawdling behind the BMW GT-R for the last two laps. I won't be surprised to see someone break !0:00 - it's still early days for this event and the thousandths will start to be shaved off soon - a good tune is imperative here since the car is below the maximum PP allowable.
Cutting the chicane may help (or it may actually slow you down if you don't do it right - I cut it once to avoid a collision) but otherwise everything goes so if you guys want to run the 'old' course (no chicane) run it as you will and may the best driver win - it's a leveled playing field.

I took the Golf out to try being a 'Deep Driver' and couldn't get past 4th - the Golf doesn't turn, and the gearing is a mess - have to go back to it since it's quite an interesting challenge - obviously it can be done, it has been done, so the rest of us must attempt it. :lol:

OP Updated.

 
Some times, nice races !You cant break away from Papp, so last lap time is most important . Mini marcos , maybe 4 secs still init for me, not likely to win though . Bathurst nice one, if someone puts lot of time in it, should be able to up time a lot .

Good fun!
Its crazy how my Cuore TR-XX can't climb the mountain each lap!

I have found it faster to get out and push!!!;):D

And I have achieved a faster overall race time with the Mighty Marcos, but got no closer to tracking down D.Papp in the Rocket:

I keep changing my car's tune, but just can't seem to find much more speed:(

I was a bit rusty after a week off but starting to get into my stride now. Papp was going well in this line-up. 8:15 every time. Lapped the other Marcos on the home straight.
