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 #50:

4WD Non-Racing Car & Tuned Car Super Lap: 2:08.000 - Mount Panorama - 600PP - SS

Racing Car Super Lap: 0:55.000 - Eifel CM - 700PP - 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.
 
My results with a wheel and an automatic transmission:

600PP 4WD at Mount Panorama:
572PP - 2:10.702 - Tommykaira ZZII '00 - SH - 4WD - 542hp - 1000kg

This one will be a challenge. I do not see a clear winner in my owned cars. Most 4WD cars weigh too much here to make good use of SS tires if they have them. There is the high PP HKS with low weight and SS tires but its transmission holds it back. The Tommykaira was my fastest car but I do not see where I will gain anywhere close to 3 full seconds.


700PP RC at Eifel CM:
663PP
- 0:54.897 - Chaparral 2J '70 - RH - MR - 683hp - 821kg
 
I've done a 2:09.5 in the HKS with a lap that was far from perfect even by my standards so I'm thinking it must be possible. I didn't find the gears to bad. Could do with a sixth but it just about manages to get by. Also had a go in the 574PP Mines Skyline GT-R but that wasn't happening. Haven't tried the Tommy yet.
 
Been a little while since I did some of these:

600PP 4WD at Mount Panorama:
558PP - 2'07.631 - Mine's Skyline GT-R Vspec N1 base '00 - SS - 4WD - 591bhp - 1340kg
572PP - 2'07.982 - Tommykaira ZZII '00 - SH - 4WD - 542bhp - 1000kg
574PP - 2'07.339 - Nissan GT-R Nismo '14 - SS - 4WD - 591bhp - 1720kg

Took a while to remember the bumps on this track but once I got the hang of it the times came down :)

700PP RC at Eifel CM:
615PP
- 0'54.433 - Toyota TS030 Hybrid '12 - RH - MR - 529bhp - 900kg
626PP - 0'54.932 - Audi R18 TDI Prototype '11 - RH - MR - 532bhp - 900kg

Started off with the higher powered cars and the throttle control required is :scared:

These ones were still tricky but a bit more fun, infact I recorded their laps:



 
600PP 4WD at Mount Panorama:
588PP - 2'07.833 - HKS CT-230R '08 - SS - 4WD - 572bhp - 1068kg
Nice car this. I had a quick go in the ZZII but didn't get on with it at all. Great job @mcsqueegy.
