The 90% Club

For the new races I had some great challenges. It took me several tries to get each one.

400PP - 100% stock TF160 (comfort soft tires, AI on sport hard). This track is short and tight and I think this is the most challenging 400PP yet. I had to work for this one. After 5 fails I went and did an engine and chassis rebuild to get the most possible from this 100% stock car. 384PP after engine rebuild.

500PP - I first tried in my 450PP Mazda roadster. After 3 times falling short I figured the car just wasn't up to it. So I turned to my 450PP '06 S2000 time attack car. As usual she came through for me. Sport hard tires, as the AI.

650PP - For this track (which I don't like at all) I ran with a full PP Zonda R on race hard tires (same as AI). It took me 4 tries to win even with a full 650PP. This track feels like it's made of ice to me.

The 500 was my only true 90% run for these, although I could have dropped down to 360PP in the 400 if I had gone with the same tires as the AI.

That's an extraordinary boast. I usually take people at their word, but... Replay or didn't happen.
 
Race the clock.
Dont bump anything.

Need to be said that its not ideal to lower the power just to end up bump-turning the AI at any given hairpins, I know most of you dont do that btw. I wanted to point out that time is a very, very good challenge. not only at gt5 :)
 
This thread is probably one of the sole reasons that make me keep coming back to GT5. I always find new cars to tune and see what PP level they can compete against.

What really hammered me was when a Daihatsu Sirion 2WD with about 435PP and SS tires won the 500PP seasonal at Trial Mountain. Though it can't obviously stand a chance in Tokyo or the GP Nurburgring (not unless you take the infamous shortcut through the grass), it fares well with height-adjustable suspension tweaked up a little.

For me, the 400PP range seems like it is more difficult than the others. I can rarely find cars that can substitute for a good tune. I also found it rather funny when a souped-up GT-R knocked away the 650PP competition with RH tires... :D

Also had a go at High Speed Ring with a 100% stock TF160. Surprisingly good race. The TF160 on Comfort Soft tires against the Prelude. The race came down to a last corner pass.

races that come down to the wire are my absolute favorite. I managed a .001 victory today and literally screamed in joy, i must've watched the replay 10 times
 
I use 100% and 1 higher grade of tires. I can usually do it on 100% and same grade, even on 650, but I'm lazy and don't want to come in 3rd :P

Against Mclarin F1 and Zonda Race Cars? Ford GT Race Car Spec II? Wow! That's incredible, if true. I still haven't found a car with less than 630pp and Racing Hard tires, no aids, that I can win it with.
 
This should be fun. I blasted through the first three 400PP Seasonal Events with an '01 Acura Integra Type-R, little devil of a car. It's still way too powerful for the competition limited to 400PP, so I might join you guys. Gonna try those three races limited to 360PP.

Oh, and what tires do the AI use, sports hard?

EDIT: Decided just to run Sports Hard tires anyways.

Also picked up a '92 CR-X Del Sol SiR. Lightly tuned the engine/intake/exhaust and body, grabbed a semi-racing clutch and flywheel, 6-speed tranny, then limited it to about 361PP and ran the Rome Circuit 400PP Seasonal. Wow! What a fun little car! I never got to see first until the very last corner, and man was that a great battle for first.
