Please do. Yours look a bit more accurate, and have the additional details like the tow bar arrows, than what seems to be currently available in the showcase. I just purchased 10 of the Sprinter Trueno's, and had a go at a preliminary setup (around 209hp on SH tires, 509pp). I had trouble finding the general spec of the N2 cars. A lot of broad info without going into much detail. Can ya help me out with a general spec? Just looking for weight/HP, mostly. I'd like to at least try and make it realistic, or at the very least a close approximation.

The real 1985-1986 series ran cars at 215bhp. I set the weight at 810kg due to some of the specs of various Group A(anywhere from mid-800kg range) and the N2 cars from Hot Version(check the video I posted above. You'll see some weights 800kg-840kg.

Perfect. Thank you very much. This solves my issue with the AE86 N2 specs, and as a bonus helps me out with my 90's Group A fleet. Much appreciated. :cheers:
 
Today I drove the beautiful 300SL Coupé '54. One of the most beautiful cars ever, if not the most beautiful one. However, this car is a not so nice ride in stock form. It is a shame (in my opinion) that I had to install and set the suspension for a better drive, I'd like to keep it as close to the original form as possible in order to appreciate the car for what it is.

Lap time was a 8:13:521. Too bad I was in a lap 2 seconds faster around half way the track but then I lost control. No YT uploading today just a screenshot.

Yesterday I had found the password to one of my really old (2022 old) alternate PSN accounts, which seemingly I stopped using around the 25th anniversary time. The account was only at collector level 7 and menu book 9. So today I've just been playing around on that. Did 77 miles today so far, mostly just grinding the newer higher-paying Sunday cup races since those are the highest payout events unlocked for this account at the moment. Cool thing about this account is that it has the original three starter UCD cars from 2022 as well as the only Sublime Super Bee that I can recall ever showing up in the UCD.

It seems, at least according to this account that the starter UCD FIT was originally white instead of blue, and had no ECU upgrade part. The starter UCD Demio was also apparently blue instead of the current red color. Two things they had changed since post-October 2022 that many may not even know... in fact I didn't even know they changed them until I found this account again.

I created a grid of 10 AE86 Trueno's (Thanks to 05XR8 for the liveries!), and set a 5 lap custom race (Sophy - Boost Weak) around Spa. Now, this is certainly not my cleanest race (there's a tap or two here and there), but it was a load of fun.

The cars are tuned to 470.77pp (215hp, 1746lbs) on Comfort Medium tires (The game forces you to choose stock or RH tires, so I went with stock). Even with only 215hp these cars are slidey little things on CM tires, so it was a challenge, but a welcome one.



This was just the first preliminary run. A bit more testing/practice needed to get the best out of this.

I bought 2 more Tuscans and 71 BMW. Did a 700 ppm 20 min Sophy race at LeMans. Got 30k cr from a ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 🎟️
 
Saturdays race will be a random 8 Lap Race at Alsace Village with the Corvette '01
Sundays race will be a 8 lap Gr.3 race at Maggiore using gr.3 cup settings

Bought a Dallara SF23/Toyota and am attempting to beat this pole lap:



So far on Default setup, 1'23 is the best I can do.

Just managed this. Gotta find those 4 Hundreths now.
 
Took a gander at my 10 most owned cars. 😐

Having 8 of them being Hondas tracks. The top spot being occupied by 12 EG Civics is a totally normal human person thing to do. Not shown in the 10th spot are 5 Suzuki Carrys, before the car count drops to 4, etc. 😮

Today I drove the Nissan Silvia Q S13 '88. First at the Silvia Sisters race at Tsukuba and then at the Nordschleife. The Tsukuba race is part of the on going weeky thing and the 6 stars ticket gave me a weight reduction 5 for a car I already forgot which was.

The Nordschleife lap on the other hand made me improve a 1.7 second from my previous record there with this JDM. The stats were the same in both occasions (531pp 227hp 1002kgs)

Continued the Experience Quest™

Since switching from flat screen to PSVR2, I no longer modify cars to become easier for me to drive. I revert them as much as possible to stock and take them out on the longer tracks to simply enjoy them and experience original challenges.

It's not that my driving has markedly improved, I'm still a 💩 driver, it's that the VR reveals so much more about their dynamic behavior. (And not just the wonderful cockpits)

It used to be that when I bought an American muscle car out of the 70s or whatever, I'd spend a boatload of money stripping weight out of it, slapping on modern rubber, replacing the horrible suspension and adding actual, you know, "brakes"!

Well, no longer!!

PS I think I'm trying to relive the old days at Mount Panorama watching Series Production races, but with me in the seat. Yep, having TOO MUCH FUN!!
 
Since I modified my Superfast for the one make race I decided to make a GR.4 version to take to LeMans. I had to cut a lot of power and add a lot of ballast to get it to 700pp. I probably need to buy another one and build it to 700 pp from the jump I probably won't have to cut so much power. Anyway I took it to LeMans and I was pleasantly surprised with the fuel economy I was able to get 3.8 laps which I was to last 4 laps with some short shifting and coasting. Even with the power reduction I was still get up 170 mph going down the straights in 6th gear. I never got 7th gear but that is fine. Anyway I had very little rain in the race and I pitted on lap 4 on fumes and finished out on lap 7 with a big lead. Got a nitro tank from the ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 🎟️ . I thought about getting the Ferrari from LCD and then I was like nah I'll wait. The last time I had a chance to get a Ferrari before the price goes up I ended waiting for a year before I was able to have the credits to get it when it was in the LCD.
