Managed to win Tokyo r246 with a 260pp Beat Version Z. Probably could go lower, seeing that I took first place at just the midpoint of the 2nd lap, and my line wasn't really perfect with all the AI drifting on the road.

Edit: Won Tokyo Bay Kart at 260pp, with a 6 seconds margin. Got a payout of 866k for just over 4 minutes of racing at 150% bonus.

Huh, I didn't know about Gullwing doors! Anyway, the challenge was very easy but quite fun, as the Mazda is suprisingly tail happy. Only for the karting track I needed to stiffen and lower the suspension in order to beat Cappucino.

Autosam! Did them all in it. Agree about how tail happy it is, a lot of throttle control for such an underpowered little car
 
doing these now, using honda beat z 93 1st race took 350pp won easy as, think i went to 320pp for 2nd n 3rd races even with a spin on 1 of them still won them both quite easy.

got tokyo and race 5 to do prob just as easy might have to start taking tuning parts off the car to lower pp even further
 
All gold on first try, used the Beat vers z with 320pp.
 
hello pilots
Photo below is my setup for Rome Circuit, (my car was chosen Suzuki Cappuccino '95 - EA21 r ( 276 pp ) with him in a little over five minutes to win the over 745 000 on this track, the car is totally in hand and with total control in curves, I have helped everyone and thank you
(new setups are welcome)

Just went on and noticed that they've added standard sl300 and z28 to the OCD. Anyone else get them?
 
I used my trusty Daihatsu Mira TR-XX, tuned to 300pp, and ran away with all the races, except the ones where the EA21 was in pole.
 
done tokyo today 280pp honda beat Z was like 2 secs infront of the dihatsu concept thing got 1.045.566 credits payout 200% bonus though, might try a bit lower another time :D

Got the 300 SL, but I don't see the point in having a standard Z28 :indiff:
 
After completing all the races in my 300pp Cappucino really easily, I thought I would try a little FF kei car for the first time.. I modded the Suzuki Cervo to 316pp. You guys probably knew already, but I didnt realize it had a 7 spd tramsmission! I kept the standard transmission initially and it kinda startled me when it shifted into 7th! This seasonal was heaps more fun when I got out of the Cappucino.

Would the Honda Z Act be competitive in this event ?

I've had a crack with the Z. Full tune at 80bhp, I added full ballast as mine has stage 3 weight, and came in at 350pp.

Trial Mountain easy win with Midget starting first, I was on CMs but didn't realise.

Rome: took off a part or two to reduce pp to 345 and won by .07x with Midget starting, CS tyre.

GVE: easy win, Midget starting. Same as Rome setup.

Tokyo: back up to 349pp (bhp had dropped to 79), 7secs behind Cappuccino. It wasn't a tidy race but I doubt if I would catch it in 3 laps.

Not done the last race yet.

Haven't used the Z for ages, but still love it and its 10k red line.

It's nice of you to have posted your setup, but you can save yourself a lot of bother (and a lot of space on here) by just posting your settings sheet. :)

I have problems matching my gear settings to match your tune :banghead:
Top speed?

try stock gear, or maximum in 180 KM/H or 111 mph

Thanks for the setup mate, i look forward to trying it out.
 
Should call this kart track and the bloody midget is one helluva event.i won 4 track easily and got stuck in kart track until i tweak my cappucino to 88hp,789kg and 355pp with 114kg ballast.very nice event indeed
 
This Tokyo Bay (Kart) 107A circuit is not a new track, we've already run it before I think.

Yep. It was in the first K-car seasonal from last year. I ran ALOT of laps on that one :dopey:

That's great, as long as no Capuccino at the front, the Z act still can win. I might give it a try, thanks for the infos.

I was able to get all settings as close as possible with Top Speed set to 124. I couldn't set it to 111, only to 112, but then the 3rd-5th gears were off. When I set Top Speed to 124, only the 1st and 4th gear was a little off. (3.474, and 1.051).

NICE! I just got my Beat Version F tuned down to 275pp and won by 7 seconds with it, so I know that can go lower. I tried at 270pp and got 5th, but I had a bad 2nd lap with lots of hold-ups in traffic.

Looks like the 2nd-place car's running about a 7:46 total time, so a 7:45 should be enough for the win.

ETA: After leaving and restarting, a new lineup is in this one, and they're running 7:36 times, and once even a 7:23 total time!

I'm at 170% payout (I skipped a couple days. :( ) and got just over a million credits for 275pp on this one.

Managed to win at Trial Mountain in a 270PP Mira TR-XX R '97. The Cappuccino had to start in 5th or less, in order to be bogged down by the others enough for me to catch up. I ran a 6:19 total time.
 
GTPlanet to the rescue, again!

Was trying my damndest to beat the kart track in my Autozam; best I could get (and not consistently) was a 49.5xx lap.

Came here, read the thread, learned that I could take my RM Cappucino. SOUNDLY thrashed the track, consistent 48.xxx laps. I almost feel bad now, with how easily I trounced the track in the RM Cap. =p
 
Surprisingly fun races, but I shouldn't have bought racing clutch, flywheel and some other stuff, since it would be more fun without those extra parts. Anyway, completing it helped me kickstart my A-spec career (about Cr 1,000,000 was more than enough), and improved my skills in driving underpowered cars without ABS.

All in all, it's a great event, especially for novice drivers.
 
Just finished mine in a Daihatsu OFC-1 Concept '07
91 bhp
355 PP

Great little car for the event
 
How do you get the tokyo bay track?
Nevermind found it in course creator

I can't see how people find this one of the easier events.
Neither my Cappuchino RM, nor a 355pp Cappuchino 111R could do the job.
Only on Rome where I won by half a second.
The Cappuchino on Grand Valley is way too fast...

*Just watched youtube.
A guy was also using the Cappuchino 111R, and though he was a little slower than me he had an easier win on Rome.
But he didn't have the other Cappuchino as competition.
Any other cars besides the Cappuchino that I should't race against? (skip and reload)
*with the Cappuchino not starting in first place it can be done easily indeed*

I tried using a Cappucino (EA21R) '95 and couldn't figure out how to spec it (it was still too slow) so, luckily, I had a Copen '02 that I was able to tweak and win with on all races.

This is my Bronze.5 Ghetto Controller driver Daihatsu Copen Detachable Top '02 spec:

PP: 355
Weight: 758 kg
Max Power: 79 HP/5100rpm
Torque: 100ft-lb/3700rpm

Body: Weight reduction stage 1; window weight reduction
Engine: ECU Tuning, Stage 1 Tuning, Power Limiter set to 355 PP
Intake: Sports Manifold and Racing Air Filter
Exhaust: Sports Manifold, Sports Catalytic, Titanium Racing
Turbo: None
Transmission: 1st through 4th gear (All fully left), 5th Gear: Set to 1.000; Final Gear: 5.545, Top Speed: 118
Drive Train: Clutch - Twin; Flywheel - SemiRacing; Std Differential
Suspension & Brakes: Default
Tires: Comfort: Soft

Easy-Mode Spoiler: Do not allow any Cappucinos to enter the races.


Disclaimer: Tuning newb; I only know that if setting gears all the way to the right don't work, I slide them the other way, and see if that works.

Finally won these races, gave up a while ago but won them fairly easy with this car and tune! Thanks!!
