I have had the x1 a few day's now and i have noticed a few things about it.

The first is that this thing drinks oil like no other , i took it on a few races and the oil tank gauge in the gt auto menu was black.

the second is the shear cost of keeping this car in good condition , it costs 500,000 to restore the engine then another 500,000 to repair its rigidity

Talk about expensive !

that aside it is a great protoype. i still cant get it around the norschelife in less than 4mins the quickest i have done it is 5min 45 seconds.
 
My Minolta is 1.1 mill to rebuild the engine and 2.5 to repair the chassis...
 
I hate the X1, using a wheel it nearly rips your arms off, and its too fast if thats possible. It just isnt fun to drive-atleast not for me
 
The FGT is $1,000,000 for chassis/engine stuff. I did both.... it didn't help.
 
The jury's still out on whether engine rebuilds/restore rigidity do much, if anything. Personally i'm never going to bother unless I see the BHP drop regardless of oil changes, and that hasn't happened yet.

Perhaps the intention is for you to do it like after a year, real time.

Wrong. They certainly are there for a reason, but most fail to realize that a car needs a couple thousand of km's driven to require an engine rebuild/restoring of rigidity.
Bob's X1 is down to 1450 HP (from an original ~1550?), even with fresh oil, but since it's still more than fast enough for Bob to win races, I don't bother doing an engine rebuild.
 
OK that's strange, my FGT is my grinding mule, I use it tons in B-Spec, but I don't think the power has dropped. I will go check though!
 
I've used the X1 since lvl 30 to grind endurance races and make left turns at Indy and haven't yet done an engine or chassis rebuild and haven't noticed any decline...
 
Bob's FGT has over 10k on the clock, regular oil changes, and still has 916HP....

It takes a long time!
My Bob has run more than 20,000 miles in my FGT. I gave it regular oil changes which, until roughly 9,000 miles continued to restore its BHP to 935. This however started to drop rapidly. At 11,000 miles the BHP had dropped to 888 even after the oil change so I bought the engine re-build. The BHP then increased to 932!
I've had similar results with other cars which leads me to assume that between 8 and 10,000 miles is a good point to carry out th engine and chassis works!

Hi,
Not really sure if it makes a difference but how many miles were already on your FGT when you bought it? Mine had 4,500 miles. After an additional 10,000 miles the BHP after oil change was down to 888!
 
My FGT has 28,000 miles on it with only oil changes and it still makes 881bhp after a service... not really worth dropping the cash on a rebuild.
 
After many, many, many races including enduros(at least 10 in aspec alone) my RBX2010 dropped down to almost under 1400hp, i'm talking like 1405hp. It was around 1455hp for a while but now has started rapidly destroying oil much faster than when it was new. I'm starting to really notice it, especially considering it struggles to 270mph on its own now.

I have heard and can most likely confirm that chassis restoration effects wheel users in a big way. I do lots of indy racing to make credits and XP and my wheel goes absolutely nuts on the straights, I cannot let go of the wheel for more than one second. After going back to do golds on the X2010 challenge I could feel the difference between my X2010 and the obvious brand new one in the challenge. This does not seem to be an issue for controller users but I guess that's the lack of FFB.

I agree. If it is still grinding out wins why drop 1M+ credits to gain 40-50 HP? Now if you need to do or redo the F1 Challenge it might be worth it.

It took my FGT 9000 miles before oil change isn't bringing it back to full HP. now max HP is 890. but fast enough for Bob to win easy so I haven't paid to redo the engine yet either.
 
Damn Them Pesky Bob's they've robbed the Vettel X1 of 105BHP :lol:

8.000 Miles on it though :dopey:

Luckily I have 4 others as spares :)

Many of the mid high end race cars all cost the same $500k. Has far as it's fuel consumption. That is based on it's avg speeds. The car is simply flying at all times in a race. Which is why it blows out everything else by lapping them many times. Being 4,5 10 laps ahead and then pitting for fuel is no stress at all.

You are only going to see a difference in Endurance races. When I let my X1's motor Hp drop to a low 1400. I would notice that he was doing on avg 146 more laps then the next car in second place at the 24hr Le Mans. Give the car a fresh motor and he would end the race at 150 laps ahead. So a very small change it is. But still so not necessary on a car like this or most others.
