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 #34:

4WD Non-Race Car and Tuner Car Super Lap: 1:22.000 - Deep Forest Raceway - 600PP - SH

DeltaWing Super Lap: 1:26.000 - Red Bull Ring - 690PP - 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'd already golded this in the Audi with a 21.4xx before trying the VGT, but there's no point mentioning it now :P

It's a good event for once but they should've lowered the PP limit to at most 550 in my opinion.

Edit: some cars that didn't make it and one that did:

4WD Non-Race Car and Tuner Car Super Lap: 1:22.000 - Deep Forest Raceway - 600PP - SH

500PP - 1'22.952 - Nismo Skyline GT-R R-Tune (R34) - SH - 4WD - 451bhp - 1560kg
507PP - 1'22.524 - Nissan GT-R Proto '05 - SH - 4WD - 445bhp - 1730kg
521PP - 1'20.758 - Nissan GT-R Concept '01 - SH - 4WD - 447bhp - 1560kg

There's room in all of those but nothing to suggest a gold time in the first two :(

600PP 4WD NRC at Deep Forest Raceway:
552PP
– 1:21.983 – Acura NXS Concept '13 – SH – 4WD – ???hp – ???kg
536PP – 1:21.551 – Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro Chrome Line – SH – 4WD – 528hp – 1598kg

Well as you speedy chaps have put in an early appearance this week it's a couple of also-rans from me. I was struggling with the R8 4.2 but the extra 1000cc made all the difference. The NXS was fun. Lots of power but a bit slippery.
I got gold in both the DeltaWings, the 2013 is more fun but I didn't find either car particularly appealing. Back to the classic racers at Mid-Field for me.

- Or maybe not. I couldn't resist having another bash at it. It took a few more than four laps.

516PP - 1:21.754 - Audi R8 4.2 FSI R tronic '07 - SH - 4WD - 414bhp - 1560kg

– 1:21.941 – RUF CTR2 '96 – SH – 4WD – 513hp – 1300kg

Another one for the list. For me this was harder than the Audi. It's very easy to overdo it and cook the tyres.
