Clean Run Challenge #3 2007 BMW M3 Coupe at Nurbugring GP/D
Second Race in the Online A-Spec Challenge No.3 - 3 Laps
A NO SRF Hardcore Event!
The Goal: Your fastest Total Race Time.
The Race Events are basically Time Trials with moving obstacles(AI). Most are only 3-5 laps so think of it as a longer Time Trial but with other cars on track. Most races will only last 5-10 minutes. Winning the race is not the end goal-it's the Total Race Time like the latest GT5 Seasonal Overtake Challenges.
The Rules:
1. No Driving Aids. No TCS, ABS*, ASM, SRF, Active Steering. Driving Line and Transmission Choice are optional. *(If you are new to ABS OFF and having difficulty, you may use ABS1 but note that when submitting.) There will be a separate leaderboard. Experienced no assists drivers are expected to not use ABS. Thanks.
2. Tuning Prohibited. No added parts, ballast, weight or engine stages. Brake balance is the only adjustment.
3. Tires. Sport Hards.
4. Track Rules: Only fully clean runs. 2 wheels on track at all times. Rumble strips are part of the track. The white line is the track boundary otherwise. No wall contact. No initiated AI contact. This is what will make this a REAL challenge! Avoiding other cars may be the hardest aspect. No dive bombing! Approach the driving like it's a real life track day and you have no Auto Insurance!
Note: To be clear on what constitutes a "clean" pass, we will use this rule from the GTP OLR:
B:
You must establish substantial overlap with the car ahead before they reach the corner’s turn-in point to have the right to drive up their inside, or to expect them to leave inside room for you. At least the front of your car should be up to the driver’s position in the ahead car. The ahead driver has the right to be fully committed to the racing line of their choice without any interference if there was no substantial overlap before he turned in.
So if you've made a clean pass according to this rule and the AI initiates contact, that is acceptable.
In some instances a pass may be accomplished by going inside the AI if they've left sufficient room. As long as you don't initiate contact, it's clean. Just use your best judgement, this is supposed to be fun!
5. 10 Maximum Clean Runs. Restarts or dirty Runs do not count toward the total. No need to get obsessive. Winning the race is not necessary for a submission.
Specs: 2007 BMW M3 Coupe. Sport Hards
No added parts
A new premium 07 came to 423 hp 1655 kg 491pp w/ initial oil change. This will go up of course.
This is the first of our non-SRF Events. We'll be using the M3 on it's home turf against a group of foreign intruders. There's multiple lineups with different "rabbits". A short, tricky technical track that demands smooth inputs.
ABS OFF Note: If you're new to ABS OFF, this will definitely be challenging. There's several tricky brake zones that can spin your car especially Turn 1. Brake in a straight line and keep a little throttle through that turn. If it gets too frustrating use the aid. Experienced no assists drivers are expected to not use ABS. Thanks.
Here's a great guide to ABS OFF. https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=267564&highlight=GUIDE+TO+no+abs
I usually run 3/1 in FR Street Cars on Sports Tires. 2/0 has been recommended for this combo.
Good Luck Everyone!
