Hi there guys i just got my X1 after 24 grueling hours. i know alot of you guys had questions about it so I thought I would make this Thread and give you some info.

Specs:
displacement: ---
Max Power: 1444hp/15000rpm stock
Max Power: 1517hp/15000rpm after oil change @269 miles
weight: 545kg
top speed: 294 (before oil change)
top speed: 301 (after oil change)
0-301mph: 25.77 secs (may be faster if perfectly straight)
301-0: roughly 3.5
aerodynamic: 50/50. (lowest it will go. max is 150/200)



you can edit suspension
you Can NOT edit ride height
you Can NOT edit transmission (it is viewable though)


you can use it in a-spec and b-spec events
at level 30 it shows up in dealership but must be level 40 to purchase.
only comes in solid colors from dealership.
if you get 3 bronze medals you get blue and red colored. x1
not sure why you get for all silver and gold. better be awesome though lol

I will keep this updated as I break in the engine

If you guys have any questions or will be happy to answer them...

Heartfelt congratulations! Well earned!!Did you really have to drive for 24 hrs straight?

I'm a way off getting there but I will....kids aren't going to see much of dad this xmas :)
 
Thanks man. I did sleep about 6 hours after the first bronze trophy. It is very tough you must know the course very well. Very little room for error while turning and going through suzuka's "S" turns while doing 190mph.

That is just silly.
 
Congratulations!

I am looking forward to getting the chance to get one of these, from what I've heard though it may take a while!

Those are some impressive statistics, one question though. Is it similar to drive as the Formula Gran Turismo or does the massive downforce and power change how you can approach it?
 
yes they are silly lol. i will post more accurate numbers tomarrow i did those really quick by myself.

um it is similar in a way to the FGT but your corner entrance speed is out of this world. you. can't compare it really to anything. i have my buddy a 20sec head start in his FGT and cought him at the finish at suzuka. and he's pretty good. i havnt tried setti. f my downforce to 200 yet that should be amazing. not sure what the tune was for the challenge.
 
Cheers for the statistics but what a joke of a car. serioulsy i cant believe that. they allow you to race this cartoon car in A Spec and against other cars online yet a Ferrari F10 or F2007 is not allowed to race any other car except other F1's. Joke if you ask me. Well least now i can cap my race to 1443 BHP and below. Anyone complains then thats what you get for owning a car that only exsists in a game. So Cruel but oh well
 
i know the car is very unrealistic right now. and it know this a racing sim but it is fun to Sometimes grab this car out of the garage and fly around some corners. i am glad the have racing restrictions like you said so people won't ruin your races.
 
see i dont mind when i have alobby and im just practising doing free runs, you can bring what you like but when it comes to a race, unless its a specified X1 race then its just not fair on everyone else

The performance is silly but it's not due to the fact that real life physics were skewed but that it does exactly what Kazunori Yamauchi wanted- putting forth a concept to Adrian Newey of "What would the fastest racing car on Earth, free of any and all regulations look like?"

The numbers are spot on:

The January EVO magazine has an interview with Adrian Newey regarding the X1. Interestingly, Red Bull have actually built a 1:1 model of the car (that was shown at GT5 Madrid Launch) and when Newey was asked if it's possible for a driver to withstand the G-force the X1 pounds.

"It would be impossible to create an environment whereby the driver could survive those kind of G forces for a race distance rather than a single lap but a combination of driver training and restraints- particularly for the head and neck- mean it would be possible."

To me the X1 is the higher concept in comparison to what PD did with Nike in GT4- the human powered vehicle.
 
i own this car. personally, it is a super upgraded version of ferrari f1 car. the handling, acc, brake, speed. same weight, double the power. and still the same even better handling. Its default tune setup is same as f2007.
