Nice battle. No NOS, no chicane cut, all cars with vmax 270-280kmh.
Zonda too consistent to loose, Spirra and 512BB sniky driving but if you tame then enjoy, Ford & Ferrari too underpowered.

,

I started doing the BATTLES got half way through the 2nd car and then BANG power went out .
Hopefully I can get some more racing done later today if not its all going to come down to tomorrow

EDIT: internet is back on, time to hit the track

EDIT II: TIME FOR SOME BATTLES

I did my usual, all cars to 500pp and left everything else stock.
TC 1, ABC 1

ZONDA
what a car, it looks great and sounds awesome. @lfm58 is Zonda Italian for glue? Because it sticks to the road like glue.

FERRARI 458
Great handling car, didn't think this car would be the 2nd fastest as it had to be detuned a lot.

FORD GT
Suffered from the standard gearbox, I didn't even get into 4th gear.

SPIRRA
this car is nuts, it's fast but so hard to keep in a straight line.

FERRARI 512
such a great piece of machinery

REPLAYS TO COME LATER

[K3Tuning]

Im getting closer to that damn leader

Fun car tho

 

[Uday9479]

I'm new & thanks to BJL23, I got the suggestion to put my entry by completing the International B's Digital Polyphony Race 1 with the BMW cars. Here are my times:

 

[smoothbore12]

Mechanic you are close to win this one , by the way i use the " spray" 3 touch a lap.
After 1st corner a bit , at penultimate corner to get my out and the last turn after or during the final slide .
If you put it just a few sec. down the win is yours cause of the bigger hanticap 👍
Its one of the veeeeeery few ways to win over the division one guys .

Good little car this one.

MAX TUNE CHALLENGE
in the ROCKET SHIP 200
I've tried a few tunes, just can't get it going like @smoothbore12 and @K3Tuning. Maybe is because I don't have my pilot license

 

[K3Tuning]

330 P4 looks so sick, I needs to save up for it. I grabbed the Mclaren F1 Race Car Base Modle on suggestion to Demo run Silverstone 10 Lap Challenge. My focus is on tuning for balanced tire wear from pit to pit. No real interest in a fastest lap time, I'm going for a car that won't just do one hot lap then slow down as tires wear out I want the car to handle the same as the tires wear out so lap times are closer together across the 10 laps. Usualy I don't go for such a fast car in these events, I like to run cars that can barely take the W so that I have to manage how aggressive I'm driving with how much rubber I have left, only wish we had longer events with tire wear.

Clean Race this car I run with ABS-1 & TCS-0 RM tires I pit at then end of lap 5 to have best tires throughout the race. I make first move into 1st place on lap 4, I pit at the end of lap 5 but the BMW F1 McLaren stays out and pit at end of lap 6. I retake the lead while he's in the pit at the beginning of lap 7. I was able to get far enough past him before he left the pit he had no draft on me to use to keep up, I gap him by almost 30 seconds by the end of the race.

Drafting leader before the pass. Tires doing good nice & balanced

Pass made early on lap 4, this guys not ready for me lol

I make my pit stop end of lap 5 start of lap 6

BMW McLaren F1 stays out and retakes the lead....

However I retake the lead as he pits next lap. Final position change of the race between leaders.

Smooth sailing to the finish line, beautiful balanced tire wear and taking the W easy

19:45.XXX Race Time
Fastest lap 1:52.008

BMW McLaren F1 gapped by 29 seconds. He wasn't ready for me lol

 

[bjl23]

Very nice write up @K3Tuning, that just proves mechanic is the perfect name for you, I loved doing that race with the LEXUS VGT.

-----------

MAX TUNE CHALLENGE update,
Used @ghostrider135 Tune, what a beauty that tune is.

Now it's time for some DTM action

 

[K3Tuning]

Thanks Bro. I like the S series most in GT6, in older GT games I liked the long races with tire wear most but they took out the endurance races :/ . My tuning style more geared for balanced grip and wear vs qualifying hot laps. I won't have the fastest lap time but instead I go after the fastest average lap time. IMHO car character comes out a bit more this way, hot laps tunes I find character often suffers for highest grip settings mild to no wheel angles and reversed rake make for funny driving cars but they quick for a hot lap.

Lexus VGT is one of my Favorite cars. Too bad no interior but what a vicious car to rip tracks up with

I like some of the endurance races in gt5 but some where to long (24 hours really). Anyway the S races in gt6 are good, I enjoy the extra challenge of tyre wear and even the rain, well sometimes.

Have a go at the DTM challenge, I did a couple of races just then.

I'm no where near the other guys but it's a good challenge, I was 10 seconds slower on my first run. Wrong gear box setting. Hoping the get under 9 minutes.

PS @lfm58 your not going to get a push from me in this event, I'll leave to @RMan72 and CO. But I'll try to push myself.

Very nice car to, good choice mate:tup:

 

[K3Tuning]

Red Devil Run eh I got one of those already Ill give it a go, should have some time before deadline.

 

[bjl23]
