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 #40:

Non-Racing Car Super Lap: 2:15.000 - Suzuka 2014 - 530PP - SH

4WD Rally Car Super Lap: 1:33.000 - Matterhorn Rotenboden - 550PP - 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:

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.
 
Sorry for the delay. I wondered why I had so much trouble logging into server until I remembered to check the extra long maintenance PD ran today. :embarrassed:

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

530PP NRC at Suzuka 2014:
512PP - 2:15.310 - Lamborghini Miura P400 Bertone '67 - SH - MR - 349hp - 980kg
529PP - 2:14.477 - Ford GT40 Mark 1 15th Anniv '66 - SH - MR - 374hp - 1080kg

The Miura is definitely capable and is fun here; I just didn't have enough time. I tried the Shelby Series One and the Ferrari 365 GTB4 but only made 2:18.xxx with these.


550PP 4WD Rally at Matterhorn Rotenboden:
549PP
- 1:32.429 - Audi quattro S1 Rally Car 15th Anniv '86 - RH - 4WD - 488hp - 1090kg
 
530PP NRC at Suzuka 2014:
520PP - 2:14.915 - Ferrari GTO '84 - SH - MR - 393hp - 1160kg

Sectors 1:01.4 + 48.5 + 24.8
 
550PP 4WD Rally at Matterhorn Rotenboden:
530PP
- 1:32.477 - Ford RS200 Rally Car '85 - RH - 4WD - 420hp - 1230kg

The last time we were here the gold time was two seconds more generous and of the 4WD rally cars only the quattro and RS200 beat the 1:33 time. I did a 1:33.5 in the Peugeot 205 Evo 2 last time so that's going to be possible. Other than that we'll have to see.
 
530PP NRC at Suzuka 2014:
433PP - 2:31.809 - Acura NSX '91 - CS - MR - 274PS - 1365kg - Manual gearbox with clutch
500PP - 2:18.219 - Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione '08 - SH - FR - 450PS - 1585kg
516PP - 2:18.043 - SRT Viper GTS '02 - SH - FR - 456PS - 1569kg - Manual gearbox with clutch
521PP - 2:16.956 - Aston Martin V12 Vantage '10 - SH - FR - 517PS - 1680kg
510PP - 2:16.475 - BMW M4 Coupé - SH - FR - 431PS - 1497kg
526PP - 2:13.816 - Nissan GT-R '07 - SH - 4WD - 480PS - 1740kg
 
550PP 4WD Rally at Matterhorn Rotenboden:
540PP
- 1:32.673 - Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 Evo 2 '86 - RH - 4WD - 448bhp - 910kg

Must have been dawdling last time. Apart from the Lancia I can't see any more possibilities. The Super Rally Car maybe. With a name like that.

530PP NRC at Suzuka:
528PP
- 2:14.477 - Ferrari F40 '92 - SH - MR - 471bhp - 1352kg

That took some doing. I went off an awful lot.
