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 #64:

Non-Racing Car Super Lap: 1:12.000 - Grand Valley East - 500PP - SH - repeat

Sorry of the delay.

Lowest PP cars from last time:

500PP at Grand Valley East:
440PP - 1:10.989 - Lotus Elise 111R '04 - SH - MR - 194hp - 860kg - Ed_Night

600PP 2WD RC at Suzuka 2014:
560PP - 1:59.596 - Honda ARTA NSX '00 - RH - MR - 481hp - 1150kg - MadMax
560PP - 1:59.609 - Honda NSX-R Prototype LM Race Car - RH - MR - 511hp - 1120kg - Ed_Night



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

500PP at Grand Valley East:
440PP
- 1:11.944 - Lotus Elise 111R '04 - SH - MR - 194hp - 860kg

600PP 2WD RC at Suzuka 2014:
560PP
- 1:59.753 - Honda NSX-R Prototype LM Race Car - RH - MR - 511hp - 1120kg

I am quite pleased that I managed to get gold with these two cars...I hate driving MR cars. The Honda was surprisingly more stable than I would have thought. Took me a while to get gold in the Lotus and then I ended up only 1 millisecond behind StirlingMoose's time last time. :)
 
500PP at Grand Valley East:
440PP
- 1:11.953 - Lotus Elise 111R '04 - SH - MR - 194hp - 860kg

I see I'm a bit slower than last time, but the up-side is it took far fewer laps to get gold.

I did Suzuka in the Alpine VGT @599PP. I didn't note the time but it was very easy. I haven't had time to try any lower PP cars yet.
 
PAD/AT/ABS=1

600PP 2WD RC at Suzuka 2014:
560PP
- 1:59.268 - Honda NSX-R Prototype LM Race Car - RH - MR - 519cv - 1120kg

MR cars are not easy to digest for me too but this time i felt better... 1:58 lap is possible investing more and more time.

500PP at Grand Valley East:
440PP
- 1:11.778 - Lotus Elise 111R '04 - SH - MR - 197cv - 860kg
468PP - 1:10.573 - Honda NSX Type R '02 - SH - MR - 280cv - 1270kg

The older 111R record by Ed_Night seems very challenging to beat.

Ciao
