THE CHALLENGE HUB, CHALLENGE COMPLETE

[Nismonath5]

My attack on the challenges has to wait again, got called in to work. Oh well, at least I get to blast this beauty down to Hamilton!! (About 200km round trip)

@Pete05 will know what it is, probably right down to the specs..

My guess is,
VY HSV Clubsport.

While we are playing guessing games, can anyone guess what car @K3Tuning engine profile picture belongs to?

Good morning to the good fellas ,in and around the hub
We wait for Barnabas recovery and see him soon to his marshmallow action.
We also wait the votes from the 1 page vids ( what kept you so late ?)

Handsome if you don't bring 10.000 points in drift challenge ...... pick a place to hide.

The " mechanic" even if he put sensivity in 7 , still has a delay on challenge posts..... is he hide something ?

Paddy is heading full for the div1 crew and reminds me someone from the big screen.....
Is fast , sharp and his big advantage ........ walk in the day light without fear while at nights is hunting creators of the dark.

 

[bjl23]

I have heard a rumour that the sharp shooter may be back soon!!!

How that come ? Maybe GTS is having an halt , still Sniper making carrer as a tuner at GTS and he enjoy it .
Anyway it will be good to see div 1 with more than 2 horses race.

Maybe it's because we are awesome.

@RMan72, @lfm58, @paddycars1 and @fordlaser would make an awesome DIV 1

And enjoying GT5 at the moment, and it hard to get away from that game. For me GTS has gone quite and I am going to join you guy's soon .

NO TUNE UPDATE 1:16.594.

 

[bjl23]

Just quickly guys, @RMan72 did state that when doing the NO-TUNE the time to be set to 18:30, as this adds a bit more of a challenge when racing so from now on please set the time 18:30.

If the time is not set to that it will not count.

Just like @paddycars1 did in the above post.
Post a photo like @paddycars1 did showing the time.

Thanks guys

You Nos your cub mate?

 

[Nismonath5]

Is that the one we spoke about?

Nope this one's work related.

My guess is,
VY HSV Clubsport.

Bang on the money!

VY Clubsport 285, in manual. Drove flawlessly, and sounded just as good! The Mazda Demio I had to drive back was... less thrilling.

 

[bjl23]

Now that dinner and the house work is done I've got the time to explain some BIG starting next round.

If you cast your over post#1, future events you will see ONE HIT WONDER - AMAZING RACE.
This is going to test your knowledge of GT6 as well as you speed, there are 6 questions / instructions 2 per round, the questions / instructions are going to be similar to:
- what is the heaviest car?
- choose a car that was built in 1990
- race on the Australian track
And so on.
Once you post me a time of the first question / instruction with the correct answer I will then send you the 2nd question / instruction.
I will be live timing you via stopwatch, the person who complete all challenges the fastest wins.

Choose your cars/track wisely, and consider if spending the time to tune a car will help (will spending 2 minutes tuning a car knock off 2 minutes race time).

Good luck, your going to need it

 

[RMan72]

You Nos your cub mate?

Unfortunately yes 👎

 

[smoothbore12]

Post your time anytime mate, as long as your not winning with that time is not the end of the world. As long as the front runners set the correct time

Very nice car mate.

In other news, Louise and I are expecting our 3rd child! AND ITS A GIRL!!!

NO-TUNE
I'm never any good at these TT's.
Gave it a crack and I was stuck in the 1:20's for ages so my goal was to get into the 1:19's,
DONE

Now on the next thing I suck at, DRIFTING

 

[K3Tuning]

Nice, ain't a front runner, but I can give it some more with the evening time setting. Never know might chop it some..

Didn't realize the pic was during a flash r something. Ill post up a next pic if I dont beat the time.

1:16.545

Thanks Bro, my Baby, my real joy.

Winter time I build custom RC got into drifting them not too long ago and its a blast.

Drift car has serious tuning involved for those that like turning wrenches on wheel angles switching spring rates, sway bars and all that Jazz

Im also working on a crawler still, more focussed on the Drift car but can't help work on the crawler every now and then.

Congrats on the new edition to the family

With that time you are a front runner, I'm not going to count it sorry, I'll count your 1:17.213 but if you get into the 16's the time will need to be set. Thanks

Nice RC mate, I had a Dodge viper RC back a few years ago and petrol powered boats.
I've always been tempted to buy a traxxas funny car

[K3Tuning]

No stress, the RZman time is faster still, ill have to run it a bit more since Im close anyway.

I have 9 Nitro RC I think, they adding up lol 5 or 6 electric ones. The hobby is great but it aint cheap :/ great for getting into mechanics n stuff.

Craziest build of mine is 3k + (what Ill admit lol)

I want to mess with the TRX Draggers, they got timing lights n trap too but really need a mate close by with one to have fun unless they drag them locally. Certain RC is very area specific if gonna get into it. Nobody to race it get old fast.
