New Seasonal: Supercar Nostalgia Cup

[J0SH1]

Pretty easy and good money

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Easy, except for that Mt. Aso tarmac.. That final section was pure terror..

 

[walla]

Especially that guy playing african drums in the background

Yeah, what's with that? Sounds like you have a flat.

 

[Racin-Rev]

This will be a nice opportunity to take out my Lil' Mule -- Alpha TZ

 

[tfed]

Anyone know what color that Cuda is? Im not near my ps3

 

[will-i-am]

The cars will be different colors in each persons garage. Usually not the same.

Just did the first two with shelby 350 sport softs. Car is tail happy!

 

[Woodski_427]

1979 and earlier. 550pp

Thanks:tup: Plenty of choice then.

@ eran0004

Did you stay with RH in the stock Alfa? It seems a bit too steady with race tyres, I sometimes use SS on it but suspect I might need the extra grip to compete with the bigger power competitors?

I've also wondered on that Alfa TZ2 sound. Most odd

 

[isildur]

I see that the kubelwagen, schwimwagen and sambabus all qualify. I am tempted...

 

[exiledfrenchy]

That's not going to help you, the colours vary for everyone. The one in my OCD is Coral Turquoise Metallic though. Pretty

Edit: Nevermind, will-i-am was faster.

Do you guys also have only the Miura, the Countach, the 512, the Interceptor and the Corvette as opponents? I know they are the only ones listed as "Typical oppononents", but surely a 2002 turbo, a SL 300 and an E-Type would qualify as well, wouldn't they?

Yes. More opponents than listed in the typical list. Didn't recognize some of them or I would have listed them.

I stayed on rh except nurburgring. I suck at the ring. Use race soft and had difficulty still. Did not get first with alfa on the ring. overtaken on the dottinger. Pissed and used a highly tuned countach with rs to crush the opposition, won by about 20s. Mt aso was great fun with it's elevation changes.

[GraphiteGB]

Yep thats because you insist on having you own language supported instead of abandon it and just using English language only 👍 for EU games.
No we all know its the FRENCH that force language translations requirement on EU games other wise games would not be delayed and would release earlier.
Guess the automated translator PD used broke.

I used racing soft. If you stay stock (at least on the ring) you need the extra grip in the corners to be able to compete. I finished 5th on stock/rs, and then I bought turbo stage 2 and finished 1st by about 3-4 seconds. Maybe rh or less can work if you have the turbo, I guess it will be even more close then.

The TZ2 is one of my absolute favourites, it's one of few cars in the game that has that Rallye Monte-Carlo style. The engine sound is awesome, the gear lever looks like the power switch to a huge doomsday machine, it has a mysterious semi-cone on the left side window, the numbers looks like they are painted onto the car with a brush... and it has the African drums! Just got to love it

 

[Bludragon]

it is only one lap, trust me i ran it about 9 times now

Same here,thats the original nascar!

 

[YellowG1]

I forgot how nicely the Countach handles. These were fun to do on sport hard tires. Not sure what went wrong from 1974 to 2011...

 

[SmellyWallrus]

I used the GT40 race car with 55% power, after the first race decided to detune and use RH to give some competion.

 

[VTiRoj]

Am I the only one who ended up with a grid made up of 2-3 Miura's, 2-3 Countach's, 2-3 Ferrari 512's, 2-3 Jensen Interceptors and 2-3 Corvette C3's, for all 5 races? I realise it's supposed to be a supercar nostalgia theme, but they could've thrown in some muscle cars or something to add some variety to the grid.

Apart from that, great seasonal and I enjoyed taking my Challenger around the Nurburgring.

Using a fully tuned Superbird myself. Went with stage 3 engine tune, sports intake manifold, sports air filter, sports exhaust manifold, sports catalytic converter, sports exhaust, and full weight reduction (used ballast to get back down to 550PP) Running on Sports Soft tires with a fully customizable suspension. Lots of fun.👍👍
I'll post the full tune I'm using in my garage once I get the last of it sorted out to my satisfaction.

 

[SmileyOr1]

You just did to a piece of art,what mr.Bean did to this painting

Mr Bean is the fastest star in a regularly priced car on Top Gear

He's a car lover and knows how to drive, even races when he can.

 

[playnthru]

RM'ed Z/28..lightly modded.. Sport soft tires,for me..

That's what I'm getting, and I did Rome and the Ring multiple times.

Anything better for grinding than La Sarthe at the Ferrari Seasonal?

Similar payouts, takes twice the time, so no.

Its only a extension of the A-spec Amateur event.
They don't add new cars they duplicate the same event but add a PP limit and new tracks or make them more laps.

You should try the Mitsu Lancer 1600 Rally Car. That´s real fun.

Yep, that's what I had in all the races, tried several times.

I took the Dodge Charger Super Bee out.... what a nice drive. I couldn't believe how well it stuck to the tarmac on the 'Ring! Better than some of my race cars, which tend to drift offline. The Dodge was on rails. Didn't win, but good fun!
