I managed to get in quick with a Land Rover @ 1'09.429 ) good times.

 

[GT5 Level 41]

I used the Elise 111R as tuned for this weeks drift trial. Oh those curves. 1st lap gold.

I watched your lap replay while it was still in the top 10. Seemed fast for that vehicle,.
Basic starting tune tip: do not add weight to the Elise for this time trial.

 

[WJHMH]

Used an R53 05 MINI Cooper, too easy.

 

[coryclifford]

Even easier is the X Bro tuned down a little. 3 seconds ahead of Gold pretty easily.

 

[DisabledRacer]

Ran a 110.242 with an, Audi Pikes Peak Quattro '03. Probably could shave another second off if I was motivated and kept at it, but no thanks! On to the next vehicle. ....

 

[Polsixe]

Scirocco prize car for the Zahara event awhile ago was a fairly routine gold, 2nd clean lap. See a mix of cars being used by others; Rocket, 111R, 8C, TF160, RCZ; the PP system is alive and well.

 

[Racin510s]

Gold on 2nd lap with '96 Elise 190 by the skin of my teeth but it's gold. Not trying to get lower. Special thanks to @shaunm80 for the chassis tune. I did my gearbox and LSD. I was the first of my friends to run this one so I'm sort of proud of myself. I know my time will get slaughtered by all of my friends but that is fine with me. I really wanted that paint chip.

 

[WhoosierGirl]

My connection has decided to not cooperate, can't register a time. Oh well time would have been first as of now.


Edit: switched accounts 1:06.748

 

[ALB123]

One lap with my Lotus 111R '04 for a 1:11.463... I'm actually fairly pleased with that time as I only seem to ever drive this course if a seasonal is hosted here. It's not a terrible track - I just don't know it well at all. Good luck hunters of the low times! 👍

 

[redsuns23]

any 4WD turbo will do well here. I did it easily with an M3 CSL though it was not the best choice for that track.

 

[Pseudopod]

I actually tried this in what would be this game's closest thing to what I drive irl. A '98 Audi S4, except my S is an A, and it's a bit older. And it has no turbo. And it's not 4wd.

Anyway I did 1:13.002 on my 4th lap, but I'll try a bit more cause I'm not exactly the most accurate driver in the world. I'm sure I can do it a few seconds faster if I just try a bit more.

edit:
I also tried tuning it some more, but that pretty much just made it worse!

 

[UltimateLurker]

I have to confess, I wore my tuned Elise the hell out on this track in GTHD, and feel like my time there is still really good. So, of course, I had to try my Elise for this challenge as well. 1:09.7 in 3 laps, was 9th on the leaderboard...for 2 minutes lol. Going to find a Praiano tune and hit this one hard, I think I can be a contender, this is MY track!

Every single time I see what you post I hear RJ from the original Fast & Furious say "damn that guy's fast", and then correct him in my head...THAT'S A GIRL YOU IDIOT! lol

So, with that out of the way, what car and what tune? 1970 Challenger in stock trim? lol

 

[redsuns23]

what did you do exactly? An S4 is a pretty good car for that challenge, I'd lighten it up a bit and set up a proper LSD and suspension and this super lap should be a breeze...

 

[Pseudopod]

I don't remember . I mostly played around with the engine settings and using the power limiter, and messing a bit with the transmission, brake balance and 4wd distribution. Nothing too advanced, I have no idea how to tune an LSD or suspension properly . I did try changing the weight distribution to see if I would gain anything from that, though.

I'm just not a very good tuner, so don't ask me for advice

I used the lamborghini miura, with my own setup.

 

[breyzipp]

Messed around a bit with beefed up 500pp versions of the Lancia Delta, Renault Clio and Alpine A110 but was always about a second short for gold. Then brought a BMW M3 Chrome Line to 500pp, same story. Decided I'd give the in-game MR-hint a try, bought a Lotus Evora '09 raised it a little to 500pp and won first try with more than 1,5 second spare from gold, duh! The grip & control in those 4 tight corners was MUCH better than all the others cars, including the 4WD Delta. I don't really get it, does being MR or not really make that much of a difference here?

 

[SVPSkins]

used my GTO set to 500PP and did 3 laps and set a time of 1.12:9xx gold, job done

Just a guess but Mid Engine = better traction? could be wrong though

 

[redsuns23]

well it helps in the higher speed section, and may be pretty good in the hairpins depending on your driving style...

I downloaded your ghost from your sister account but.....

.....that rear spoiler, How could you?!?!!

I ended up using the Ferrari Daytona, as you'd put me off pretending that I was an about-to-be murdered Mafia Boss in the Miura from The Italian Job.

The car was setup for something different, If you watch the replay I don't even use 5th gear and the wing hurts the rotation on this track. I couldn't stay logged on my Whoosier account and had time and 15 minutes before going back to the hospital, a quick switch of accounts and a few laps...happy whoosier .

No problems, my comment about the spoiler was meant to be jovial.

I wasn't upset in any way and I read it as jovial, I should have added some happy faces, lol. I don't like the look of the wing either but sometimes it's needed.

 

[Growling]

Had some fun messing around. Did a 1:11.5 with a Renault Clio, then a 1:09.500 in a Ferrari 430.

I can't afford a Muira

Try the RUF RGT. Ran it as is with the sport hard and made gold.
