As usual, needed to research under 400pp cars that are under 157″ for beginner Streets of Willow (great venue) race. The ’03 MG and ’02 Toyota rag tops rated right at and just over 400pp after stage1 tuning w/o oil an oil change. The cars are now retired to the stock yard to make room for more desirable whips… l don’t sell them anymore.
The ’02 Ford and ’01 RenaultSport were brought out of retirement to contest the Deep Forest French 450. Yeah, l know. The Focus is not qualified for this one but hey!… cain’t ignore fast lap comparisons ;) Back to the gallows wit em!
Already ready, willing, able and itching for battle… the GT3s will do battle this weekend. Fabulous! ;)
Oh snap… again l forget. I’m not an ‘expert’ at this game, so l’ll need a GTS car or better to gold this one. Still will be fun at Laguna Seca… but would be better if the race was more specific about which race car group was competing. It would be even better if PD set-up these seasonal events with qualifing and standing starts…
Now l’m just upsetting myself ;)
Final update…
This ain’t no GT3 race! Use one if you like, but my guess is only those drivers with the skills to post a sub 5min lap in the north loop could gold this Laguna Seca 600.
The only way l managed to gold was to find an druken AI driver in a lead Gran Turismo GT. GT3, GTS, LMGTs, GT1 cars and the RM versions of the ’94 F1 and ’97 R33 did not get me to the top spot. At the end of the SVGT (super Vision Gran Turismo) series (Lexus, HSV (the exeption) and Toyota), l found myself passing the GT while it was dragging it’s off of the tyre barrier at Leguna’s last turn.
Stupid luck ;)
Had to purchase a the VW Shurracco (whatever…) race car to accompany the trophy Integra into the stock yards. What can l say… l’m a collector ;)
WAIT! Deep Forest Raceway has a dirt track variant!? If only that were true! Should be an easy enough thing for PD to program. XD Terronium-12 you forgot to change your race titles. ;)
Yeah, i noticed it this morning, deep forest drit, too bad, no such track. Would be fun though.
drit? i mean dirt.
Oh! I don’t even… I swear I fixed that.
Well that’s just embarrassing. :p
Did the easy, was really fun, AI was super smooth and rubberbanding was impresent. Gonna do medium today probably.
The hard one? No thanks. Considering how I can’t predict AIs much at high speeds and GT’s idea of penalizing players only even if they’re the ones who get rammed, I’ll sit aside and do some career events again for fun: No S-License events since I always get spun out into a penalty area.
Sorry for double-posting again… really sorry. Meant to say “I suck awfully at predicting AI movements at high speeds and high difficulty levels.”
Just go for the gap bro
The expert is not that hard if you use the nissan zytek with a shaunm80 tune.
just try it, there are no penalties in the race, so you if you bump a AI, no problem.
I think just one Ai bumped into me, the only Ai that is unpredictable for me are at the sierra races.
I used the Toyota Hybrid LMP1… had to take away some bhp though…but very soft suspension did the trick… won with about 12sec
A detuned Chaparral 2J will give you an incredibly easy win in the expert level race.
Nice selection of tracks and nice mix of cars, though the race at Deep Forest Raceway Reverse was very boring. shame as its one of my fave tracks. might have to redo it in my A110
Such great cars…
