Do I have to be online to run at the Top Gear Test Track? I didn't see it when I was in practice off line.
I think u have to win it on one of the special races
...I think its the lotus one..
Also I think that RX 7 is over the .50 limit...
 
RX-7 654x2cc
hp 559
1051kg

Ok... So! Am I allowed or sould I look for another car??

Both of these cars are over the HP to kg ratio limit of .5. The RX-7 is .53 and the Amuse is .56. Sach you can use the car, but you have to make sure the one you use doesn't have the parts equipped to push it over the limit (at 1051 kg your HP limit would be 525 also remember that a new car is going to gain horsepower after a couple hundred miles and an oil change. If you look earlier in the thread, I was reviewing whether to put it in class 2 or class 3 due to its high output with little weight. Since output is being capped in relation to weight the rotary engine cars will be placed into class 2. Jav you should look for a new one.

What tires we running and also is it ok if its a standard car?

There are no restrictions on tires, most I'm sure will use racing soft.

Do I have to be online to run at the Top Gear Test Track? I didn't see it when I was in practice off line.

You have to pass the Top Gear special events to have it in practice or arcade, so until you do so you need to be online.

Also races will be held at 10 PM Central US time (-6:00 GMT), and I may put up a practice session tomorrow night at 10.

That sucks. I have tried that stupid Sambabus race at least 50 times and it seems like every time I get disqualified on the last corner (even though I don't think I am cutting it any more than I do on the first lap). I got so frustrated, that I haven't even tried the Intermediate or Pro level. Should make for an interesting exhibition race for me. I guess I better get online and practice some tonight.

There are certain areas that you can cut without disqualification, if you find them it will be much easier to overtake. As far as the exhibition, it's going to be more about surviving than outwright speed, once you have damage it's there for the rest of the race.
 
Yeah, I wouldn't put a points race there. Make sure to post your car by 9:45 Friday if you wish to participate in the exhibition race, if you're down for two cars, pick one and list power and weight numbers!
 
2. Jav you should look for a new one.
Ohh man!! I gotta start looking for another car... The R1 is going to be way underpowered... Is the Evo 9 or 10 taken?
I'm going with either one of those! And where would the RX8 fall into?
 
Ya same mechanics but is a separate model and they are counted as separate cars. I think it will still be much slower than the gtr's and all other 4wds.

No Evo's are taken, RX-8 will be Class 2

Can I use the BMW tii 07 ? If so I will post specs .

Yes you can use that car, just be sure to adhere to the rules with it.

For all: Remember your car can not have parts installed that can put it's horsepower at a number higher than half its weight in kilograms, even if you didn't use the parts, there is no way to know whether or not they were used, and they will be assumed to be used resulting in disqualification.
 
I will run the Evo IX, Silver like the one in my garage.....ok mine IRL is an VIII not enough difference to bother me.

517hp @ 1160kg IIRC

Can I use the RM version....

EDIT:
(NO RM VERSIONS)

I don't know of an '09 in the game, there is a 2010 model in but I'm using it, the wagon is fine as is the 22b.

Yeah! I ment the 07! Sorry!!
I'll do some test laps when I get home and post up!!
 
I will be using Stock Bodied Evo IX for sure.

527hp @ 1169kg = .45

Hopefully, I will be able to make it tonight. If not, I am still planning to run in the series when I can.

I am not at my PS3 right now, but I think my Civic is at 392HP and 888Kg. I will verify when I get home from work tonight. It may have a couple of more HP to add as it reaches the max from break in, but that definitely won't take me over the 0.5 limit.
 
My bmw tii concept specs

561 bhp
1236 kg
2979 cc

.453 kg/hp

Sounds good, I was running the 135i in practice tonight, and ran some good lap times after a little suspension tuning. That should be a very competitive car.

They tend to gain about 10 HP after break in, so as long as the figures posted aren't close enough to go over the limit there should be no problems. As far as tonight it's just an exhibition to get used to racing everybody, and challenge how long you can make your tires last and not damage your car.
