Yes:) Its great that you posted a pic too:P
Honestly I thought it would be a bit more difficult, I mean I aimed it towards the players that are slightly slower than us, but still, that you got it on lap 2 is too easy.

So, the other car I tested, that turned out to be just too difficult to gold with was the Honda Oddesey, try that one and see if you can get gold with it, I tried for 10 min and only got 1'24.5, maybe you can make it...
 
the TT at Willow springs im not ever going to attempt. i cant stand the track. Drifting one with race cars is BS (drifting with racing tyres?) best i can get with my Nismo GT-R GT3 is 4952 and im drifting th hell out of the thing but the drifting with normal cars is ok but its a sod getting gold, best ive got with a stock sls is 3,600 which is silver and its the only German car i own thats RWD lol
I dont think your locked into using Racing tyres on a race car drift trial. Im sure you can chuck comforts on there
 
@GTsail290 : Haha what a coincidence. I will hunt you down tomorrow ;);)

@et_ : Maybe you should send your CV to PD. I can imagine all sorts of crazy things if you would be in charge of the seasonals :cheers:

@cbarbosa : Brake Balance 5/5, no weight added, power turned down to match 550PP Limit. You cannot change anything else on the car.


Maybe I will add the "setup" to the end of the video, since some people ask.

Oh yeah, I'm thinking slipstream battles on SSRX with shifter karts, drifting events with Honda BEAT:P. standing starts!, endurance races with heavy payouts, "defend mode" where you get a head start with an underpowered car on CH tyres, and try to defend 1'st place, 1 lap wonder races...

1:23.701 4-5 laps, must be some old rally tune. Not as easy as I thought, I think for the difficulty level is ok. If you are going to make it difficult for you and Whoosier,,, well not many will be able to make it.

Instead of changing cars....why not just lower the PP ? Should probably be so you can beat it by about 1.5 secs..think that is fair

If et_ is in charge of setting the gold times, I guess all human beings can't gold lol. May be only the frequent top 10 et or semi-et can :D Consequentially, all the human beings will flood this forum with complaints about seasonal events being impossible to win. :D

I like the way where anything is allowed, that way no one can be accused of cheating:) You did'nt happen to take a pic of when you set that time did you?

Try the Lancia, it's possible for humans, for aliens its pretty easy tbh...

Since my TommyKaira ZZII '00 had a grand total of 9.9 miles on it, I decided to show it some love and throw it around Big Willow at a detuned 550PP. I only did a handful of laps. My best time was 1:21.916. I know I can improve on that time. I don't have many miles logged on Big Willow, so I'm not comfortable on the big sweeping high speed turns yet. I know I can push it more. Same thing with braking zones. I don't think I'm timing them very good at the moment.

Perhaps I'll give it a shot with the Nissan Concept 2020 VGT at a later date since that seems to be the go to car for this event. But, if you don't want to use the Nissan, I can attest to the TommyKaira ZZII being a very stable car for this track. I'll take my Gallardo GT3 Replica out for a spin too. Ridox's Replica calls for 554PP, but I can limit it to 550PP for this event.

Good luck everyone!

Oh, I meant to ask... Why are they giving out 2 paint chips with this event? Any idea?

Because PD messed it up last time, essentially robbing out some players the opportunity to get that 2'd paint chip (the one that is awarded for bronze now);)

erazer's seasonal event challenge special:

This weeks car is:
Lancia DELTA HF Integrale Evoluzione '91

Everything is allowed to fit to the car, including all power upgrades and setup adjustments are unlimited. The only thing that is not allowed is hybriding/cheating of any sort.

Great idea @et_ 👍

I've run a few laps with the '91 Lancia Delta HF and have run a 1:24.880 lap

Almost Gold!

More laps are needed!:)

Updated:
I've now run a 1:24.519 lap, nearly there!:)

2nd update:
I've now run a 1:24.256 lap for 15811th place on the Leaderboard:)

3rd update:
I've now run a 1:24.036 lap for 17897th place on the Leaderboard, so close!:banghead::)

Must drive faster!

Well, after being spurred on by @et_ yesterday with his kind words, I decided to come back and give this one a more serious try. After about a half hour, managed to improve to 1'16.379 with more time to be gained. I'll keep going as long as I can in this event, but I am just so sick of this track, I can't promise how long that will be. :crazy: This one is for you Elias, hope I can do you proud. :nervous:

EDIT: After a short break, down to 1'16.085.

Got 1:25.719 (silver) with my Black Edition GT-R. I'm sure the car's capable of gold (not that my time of it is any good), but haven't gotten it there yet. :banghead:

Oh well. I'll have to take another crack at it tomorrow.

EDIT: Gave it one more go: 1:24.699! Still not there, but closer!

I saw this & decided to give it a go in a meet I was in tonight as a last minute substitute for a 480pp race (was originally going to use MG TF160). Tested it 1st at big willow in arcade tt & beat your time! Can't remember the exact time but given your usual place in the rankings compared to mine I'd guess you weren't trying too hard. Or arcade tt could have some differences in conditions to the seasonal event.
I used power limiter to get to the required 480pp.
