Got a 908 HDi from the ticket. Just put RS on the Jimny and Captur. Set the Impreza to 404bhp and RH like the Rally Car in Gran Turismo 1. RS on the Viper. If I had the JGTC Supra I would have used that to act as a car from the first Gran Turismo for my theme.
You can't even imagine how much I'd like to have full damage modelling just for those cases. I'd happily pay for a new car for myself if it meant I could witness in all its glory the explosion of carbon shards when plowing through the rear quarter without even a hint of braking. Having to settle for the current glued to the road physics where the AI car barely budges just doesn't give the same satisfaction as causing a wreck that looks more like an aircraft crash would.
But, I finally got it done today and then it was the first attempt of the day. I wasn't even going to use this car, a swapped XJ220 was the original plan, but it was perhaps too fast for the traffic and caused more problems than it solved. The extra picture at the end shows pretty well the lap time change after getting out of traffic... and before getting back to it again. One single clear lap in the entire race.
Currently using my new experimental 800 pp car: The base Toyota FT-1 VGT. Been running it in 800 pp races and is so far a reliable steed without looking out of place from the competition.
For the race itself, I lowered its downforce to minimum, then equip RS tires. For good fun, I waited for the leaders to pit in as the rain showered upon, and I soldiered on. I crawled on that next lap, recovering more than enough energy for me to use again for boost.
