Red Bull x2010/11 was too obvious. :p
2J ... yeah, that is pretty ridiculous. But in a different way. ;)

But yet, nobody's commented on the many things that make them vote for the tank car.
;) :sly:

Voted for the Schwimmwagen (just over Kubelwagen), mainly because the driver seems out of sorts perched on top.

See... people have reasons they think some cars are ridiculous.

The Life Step Van. :boggled:
I used it to do a kei car seasonal way back... I felt like I was doing some kind of tiny delivery. :lol:
 
Hey guys. Please stop voting for the tank car or watermelon will make me race it.

Nothing in gt5 is as ridiculous as the old Daimlers in gt4. What was the point of them? You couldn't even put dirt tyres on them!

RE: DLC cars
Sorry about not including any DLC cars, but I don't have them all. :(

I will personally buy you the DLC if you just call off the vote announce the beetle as most ridiculous car then make everyone race them but they're only allowed to use the tune I do that will cause them to topple over on every corner, I would love to see that it would be hilarious.

That is incredibly tempting.

In my opinion, Rebull X2010 is the most ridiculous car in the game.

Every car in this post list is a real-world car, ugly or not. The X2010 is an illussion.

None of that cars has any effect in the balance of power of the game. The X2010 does.
 
U fogot the redbull x....... cars.
First make a real one that can do 400kmh cornering whitout breaking or flushing the drivers guts out ;)

They're not my tunes though, they're ones I've got from here, every one I've applied has been the same topples over on ever corner, god knows where I'm going wrong I've never had trouble applying other peoples tunes to my other cars only that beetle.
I'm a big fan of hot hatches so really wish I could get it to work.

Problem with a lot of tunes is that the only thing they seem to aim for is extracting the most performance out of a car without taking into account the characteristics of certain cars, the thing that makes driving them unique, which often ruins the ride.

This is the basic set up I came up with myself after some testing (fully tuned, stage 2 turbo and semi-racing exhaust and no LSD) which works with Sports Hard/Medium as well as lesser grade tyres, it may not work for you but I have to do really stupid things for it to rollover. :)

Rideheight -22/0
Springrate 4.2/6.2
Damper 5/5
Damper (comp.) 3/3
Stabilizer 1/1
Camber 1.2/1.8
Toe -0.20/0.00 (to counterbalance understeer in high speed corners)

That's an entirely different kind of ridiculous.
The kind that a lot of people apparently like.
And I'll never bother racing it likely.

Very true. It becomes ridiculous.
Just throw everything at a car, as if that's the only way to drive any car, is try to make it as fast as it possibly can go... in a straight line. :lol:
And that's why anymore I mainly only race unmodified cars with tuning: prohibited.

It shouldn't have to be that way with tuning, but it often is.
Because it's all about trying to extract that tiny bit more speed than someone else... even if you wind up with a car that's a headache to drive. Where you've gotten rid of all of it's good qualities, and added new bad qualities which require more tuning to mitigate. :boggled:

I should make another poll called, the most ridiculous car to max out.
But the polling system only allows 100 choices. :lol:
 
Schwimmwagen is the most ridiculous car to race.
It has none of the attributes that makes a good racing car.

All the other cars on the list have at least one, even the Kübelwagen and the Tank car.

I wasn't talking about the tuning parts but the set ups designed to cope with them, for example it seems a lot of people harden the springs on the Beetle which just make it bouncy and probably increasingly prone to rollover whilst a softer setting makes it easier (and nicer) to drive and offers more grip.

I like tuning my cars and fitting tuning parts to them, but I mostly try to retain much of the cars original character (or improve it by dialling out the cars handling flaws) which I think is more important than extracting the most performance out of it necessarily.
Maybe that's the difference between those who only see cars as racing material and those who appreciate other aspects too.
 
Jay leno is the most ridiculous car, it's not build to race on any track I know and it's totaly useless. The rest of the cars, if you have good/respectfull driver with you, you can have fun.

It's indeed not build to race which ironically makes it a lot of fun to race and drive on a number of tracks.
I don't think it's useless (it mostly was in GT4 though) if you drive it knowing it's basically a schoolbus chassis with a tank-engine and adopt another driving style accordingly.
Most don't get that and probably never will, and don't see the charm or appeal.
It doesn't really help it acquired the ramming rep it did, if more people would start to race this car more seriously in a dedicated room a lot of fun can be had.
 
Tank Car...enough said. I never race that, it is just too ridiculous and I keep it in my garage for collector purposes only. Ok, ok I confess...I go online and troll people with it, what else is it good for lol?


EDIT: 666 posts....feeling kind of evil...right...now:trouble::trouble:
 
But still... nobody explains why tank car is ridiculous?????

Can someone please tell me what they think is ridiculous about racing it?

I think it's a ridiculous car... but why shouldn't ridiculous cars be raced???
 
All of them minus the GSX-R. That is actually pretty serious business...

Just tried your tune, it worked really well :)

I still vote for the Beetle as ridiculous though as mine comes in at 520pp and I could beat it in cars well under 500pp but again that probably says more about my skills (or lack of) than the car or your tune.

It's not tuneable, its so big it pushes in all turns, I found it only goes to some speed like 170 and no more, and no custom trans available to set it.

I voted for the Schwimmwagen. Compared to the tank car, this is really the most useless car there is. 👎 The tank car has some small value.
 
The Honda Life Step Van is ridiculously slow. The Jay Leno and the SambaBus are ridiculously fun.

Glad to be of service :), just to be clear, although my Beetles reach 516PP with my set up, they aren't a match for most 500PP (or below) cars online with a reasonably skilled driver.
If anything, I reckon the PP number should be much closer to the Samba bus (444PP fully tuned) and it's better to race them against other Beetles in dedicated rooms (which are unfortunately hard to find).
That you aren't able to beat cars below 500PP with it doesn't therefor necessarily say anything about your level of skill.

And perhaps my vote for the most ridiculous car is also going to the Tank Car, that doesn't mean I find it rubbish, useless or not providing fun.
On the contrary, those who say it can't be driven properly most likely aren't able to drive it properly, or have incorrect expectations of how it should drive and don't adapt a different driving style (which it does need).
Think of it as a combination of a vintage racecar and a big truck, you don't chuck either around a corner easily.
