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.


Stock Seasonal Time Trials #30:

Non-Racecar Super Lap: target 1:54.000 - Toscana - 500PP - Dirt

2-Wheel-Drive Racecar Super Lap: 2:00.000 - Suzuka 2014 - 600PP - RH


The Stock Seasonal Spreadsheet:

A few members have begun a leaderboard of sorts where individuals will be able to input their info into a public document. This is not so much a competition as a way to compare all sorts of data. At this point the data that is recorded for entries is as follows:

PP - Lap Time - Car (try to include manufacturer) - Tires - Drive - Power - Weight

Link to the GTP Stock Seasonal Spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kDEW2OWUxHfq9PTR4G4-HKXl3veLfq0sXhvwiPYMUGw/

Notes about the Spreadsheet:
Tabs will generally be ordered with the newest seasonal events at the left.
Gold times are ordered based first on PP (lowest PP at the top), and then lap time.
Bronze and Silver times are ordered based solely on lap time (fastest time at the top): these entries will be grayed out.
If you are comfortable with entering your info please do so.
Only create one entry per car for your best lap time for that car.
To add an empty line: right click (PC) on a gray row number box and select add a row above or below.
If you make a mistake or change something you did not mean to change hit undo once or a few times.

I might leave it at that. It's fun but I fear for my wheel.


As @Hastatus had already done Suzuka in the best classic race cars I tried it in a couple of others.
First up was the Corvette Z06 (C2) Race Car '63. What a monster. Lots of power and virtually no grip. I had to check that it was on the right tyres and it wasn't a wet track. I didn't manage a clean lap.
Next up was the GT40 Race Car '69. Less power and more grip so a much easier ride but still a long way off gold.
I used the lovely 330 P4 to get an easy gold.
 
Toscana. Probably put a hurting down on this one, but it really irks me how much you can go off track/cut corners. It's not fair unless you do it too. Which will really skew times. No?

I couldn't resist doing the triple $20m classics run @ Suzuka too. :P
 
600PP 2WD RC at Suzuka 2014:

574PP
- 1:59.910 - Mazda RX-7 LM Race Car - RH - FR - 500bhp - 1080kg

572PP - 1:59.840 - Honda weider HSV-010 '11 - RH - FR - 493bhp - 1100kg

571PP - 2:00.424 - Mazda RX-8 Concept LM Race Car - RH - FR - 500hp - 1100kg

The RX-8 is capable of a two minute lap but I'm not sure I am. I've done a couple of tenths quicker on a red lap but I'm right on my limit. I had a go in the Ford Falcon but was two seconds off despite its extra 20PP.

This was using the track limits as allowed in the game. I don't know how people feel about this. My view is that on a rally stage the only clearly defined limits are the fences/tape/posts, so if it's not red it's legit, but I'm happy to withdraw if the consensus is otherwise.

The value in the settings is the correct one. It's not uncommon for the values in the dealership to be wrong. Apparently there was some sort of regulation about Japanese cars' power limit. Why this has carried over into the game I don't know.

I agree completely. If it isn't a red lap it's legit. Thanks for the clarification on hp.
 
@StirlingMoose : I agree with you about Dirt tracks. I do not know anything about real life rules in these situations: there are no clear lines like with paved courses...and shouldn't off-road vehicles be allowed to go a little off-road? ;)

I don't know about nowadays but it used to be the spectators marked the track boundary.

@MadMax It took me a lot more than three laps. And you were right about the Lancia Delta Integrale. The best I could do was 2s off, but I reckon a top driver should be able to do at least 2s quicker than me on a 2 minute lap.
