Clean Run Challenge #7 '07 Mitsubishi Evolution X GSR at Grand Valley Speedway
Second Race in the 530pp 4WD Challenge Seasonal-5 laps
Specs: 2007 Mitsubishi Evolution X on Comfort Soft Tires.
Added Parts: ECU Tuning, Sports Air Filter, Sports Exhaust
A new Premium O7 came to 364hp 1540kg 483pp. This will go up of course. Feel free to break in your car.
After the 512BB, 240Z and Cobra it's time for some grip! This Challenge will feature my Real Life ride - A 08 Evo X GSR. Unlike GT5's car, mine's got a 5 Speed Manual not the trick twin clutch semi-automatic. The mods are what's done to mine so that's why they're included. Another GT Classic track that's great for AWD's. Hope you dig "my" Evo, it's a blast in real life too. The poor man's GTR.
THE GOAL:
Your fastest Total Race Time. The Race Events are basically Time Trials with moving obstacles (AI). Most are only 5 laps so think of it as a longer Time Trial but with other cars on track. Most races will only last 7-10 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 SRF, TCS, *ABS, ASM, Active Steering. Driving Line and Transmission Choice are optional. For inexperienced ABS OFF drivers check out this great guide: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=267564&highlight=guide+tO+no+abs
*If you are new to ABS OFF and having difficulty you may use the assist. Experienced no assists drivers are expected to not use it. There will be a separate leaderboard. Please note "ABS" when submitting. Thanks.
2. Tuning Prohibited. No added parts, ballast, weight or engine stages. We may add power if a car is too slow for a decent run but that will be very specific. Brake Balance is all that can be adjusted.
3. Tires: Comfort Softs. Not default Sports 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 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. 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:
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. Winning the race is not necessary for a submission. No deadline for submitting a time.

, I've never really mastered Grand Valley and only really been on it to get things done. It is a great track though easily PD's most realistic IMO. Braking for the first hairpin sorts the men from the boys, and I'm definitely in short trousers when it comes to this one.
, with only one blown brake lock-up in the first hairpin.
