This is a thread series for the seasonal time trials that focuses on completing the challenges (i.e. beating the gold target times) with stock versions of the cars. This means that instead of maximizing your PP with upgrades and focusing on getting the fastest laps on the in-game leaderboard, you are attempting to complete the challenges with the bare minimum amount of 'car' and money-spent as is possible.

With the new more open ended format means that part of the challenge will be finding a stock car that has the lowest PP or lowest price depending on your view. It is also difficult to predict which types of tires a car will come with before purchasing.

Warning: Some of these challenges are getting to be extreme and should be approached with caution! :banghead:


In order to participate your car must be stock.

1) A stock car is essentially any car as it is when purchased from the dealership or won as a prize: it will have had no modifications, added parts, or adjustments done that affect how the car performs.
2) No oil changes are permitted: if you have had an oil change you must wait until the effects of the HP boost have been removed by driving over 300 km.
3) You must use the original tire type that came with the car, unless dirt or snow tires are required.
4) No changes to any “Car Settings” are permitted: they must ALL be left at their default values. [Note: cars that come with Fully Customizable Suspension that were purchased or won prior to patch 1.11 must have the suspension settings restored to default in order to be updated with the new stock suspension settings.]
5) No SRF or ASM is permitted: other “Driver Assists” are permitted.


Basically, the ONLY changes you may make to a car include: painting the car and changing a car’s racing number. Any other changes means your car is not stock.

Decided to have a Toyota theme on this week events. Mainly because of the Expert one.

700PP RC at Sarthe 2013:
694PP - 3:26.140 - 10:51.626 - Toyota MINOLTA 88C-V '89 - RH - MR - 906hp - 850kg - Pescarolo C60 Hybride-Judd '05 - 10:52.988

If there was no C60 Judd
667PP - 3:29.653 - 11:01.981 - Toyota GT-One (TS020) '99 - RH - MR - 764hp - 900kg - Sauber Mercedes C9 '89 - 11:03.560

This is for you Toyota! A TS race car won in Le Mans, hope to see one happen in the future for real.
Sadly the TS030 in game was too slow compare to others.




500PP at Twin Ring Motegi East:
406PP
- 1:41.699 - 5:37.582 - Toyota FT-86II concept '11 - SH - FR - 198hp - 1230kg - Corvette Z06 (C5) '04 - 5:37.707

450PP at Autumn Ring - Mini:
357PP
- 0:48.031 - 4:24.755 - Toyota PRIUS G '09 - CM - FF - 97hp - 1350kg - GTO Twin Turbo '96 - 4:25.538

No show for the big brother, how about the little "Toyota Racing Hybrid"

 
A bit late to the party this time but I couldn't let this opportunity pass. It took quite a few attempts and I had a lot of second places going quicker than this.

500PP at Twin Ring Motegi East:
410PP
- xxx - 5:44.246 - Lancia Stratos '73 - CS - MR - 185hp - 900kg - XKR Coupe '10 - 5:44.341
