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.

My results so far with a wheel and an automatic transmission:

500PP at Roma:
454PP
- 1:25.143 - 6:01.786 - Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta '61 - CS - FR - 275hp - 900kg - RGT '00 - 6:02.251

550PP at Big Willow:
486PP
- 1:23.960 - 7:31.133 - Shelby Series One Super Charged '03 - SH - FR - 319hp - 1202kg - 599 '06 - 7:31.476

600PP at Suzuka:
572PP
- 2:08.826 - 11:13.293 - Tommykaira ZZII '00 - SH - 4WD - 542hp - 1000kg - MP4 - 12C '10 - 11:24.780

This one takes practice and perseverance. Once you can get under 2:10.xxx lap times you will have to run the race enough times to get the AI to wipe out in the right time/places...and they wipe out a lot and hard all over the track. :lol:
 
@Hastatus try the NSX. 553 PP

The Cerbera driver was an angry dude on a mission. Blasted his way to the front. Lap 4, he made a mistake, and toned down his attack.

Edit: come to think of it, I'm not sure if SH is the stock tire.

Nice nationality matching @Hastatus. I tried to mix it up with a Japanese car for Rome, Italian for Willow Springs and American for Suzuka. This is as far as I got.

500PP at Roma:
435PP
- 1:23.xxx - 5:55.835 - Nissan Silvia 240RS (S110) '83 - SH - FR - 235hp - 970kg - Mustang Boss 302 '13 - 5:56.368

@coryclifford I think the NSX comes with CS, but I haven't checked.
 
Have fun with something less seen.

500PP at Roma:
434PP
- 1:24.755 - 5:59.587 - Mitsubishi CZ-3 Tarmac '01 - CS - 4WD - 225hp - 1200kg - Cerbera Speed 6 '97 - 5:59.657


Poor Boss 302 lost 2 positions at the very last moment.
