7/19/12 - A-Spec: 500PP World Classic Car Series

[johof1234]

$622,00 at Rome Reverse with the GT40, I think my best at Madrid with 467PP was 1:00 minute something.

The Alfa is running faster laps on the other four tracks. Too many corners for the 40.

Whoever at PD decided this series should run with Comfort Softs is a real knob.

I just finished winning at Cote D'Azur with a Lotus Elan S1 '62. The rabbit was also the Elan and it took me two attempts to win as I was trying out a new set-up. The Elan(AI) finished with a time of 10:29.xxx both times. So when you come across the Elan that's the kind of time you'll need to beat.

The Mazda 110(S?) is also in the mix(top 3-4 AI) and you don't want to be anywhere near it when you exit the tunnel as it messes up and blocks the chicane. It actually backs up. It did it when I passed it on lap 5 the first time and again on lap 3 in the second race so be warned.

Payout for 450pp is 914,000cr PDA(457,000) @ %200

These new races are going to allow me to dust off many of the oldies that don't yet have a win in the books. I don't really see any of these being serious contenders for ATM champion if that's what you're looking for though.

Isuzu Bellet at 415PP,got just over $1million,what other old cars will earn the most...
at Monaco ...

 

[johof1234]

Rit, you should try the Alfa Giulia at on Cote D'Azur. I just beat it with 470pp by 15 seconds, and I half ass'd the last lap.

I think they chose comfort softs because tires from that area have a lot less grip and stability than modern tires. Therefore the comfort softs are near spec in terms of grip to the high performance tires of the day.

That's not true. The modern day style of racing slicks were first used in 1966. Invented by Dunlop.

 

[johof1234]

Anyone ever noticed that according to GT5, stone roads (rome), are just as smooth as asphalt?

I really don't understand why PD insists on giving Premium cars as prizes. I mean, give us an expensive standard car or something worthwhile.

Wouldn't hurt to give out some more level tickets, ticket 1000 or even a random ticket/car, I have always said GT5 should be the same as GT4. In GT4 when you won an event, you could clear the event results and win the prize again.

As for this event, quite enjoyed it. Going to be doing much replaying as the older cars are much more fun than newer stuff. 👍

If you take the Alfa <long name> around Coté, don't bother going anything higher than 450pp. You need to do 2:01-02 laps and you'll win by at least 6 seconds over the G4. Which is easy because the Alfa is such an easy car around this track.

Rit, you should try the Alfa Giulia at on Cote D'Azur. I just beat it with 470pp by 15 seconds, and I half ass'd the last lap.

Very nice car the Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ2 Carrott something or other.
Also won Cote D'Azur by 15.5 sec in it @ 474PP...192hp...aero off, 135kg ballast and with Mid range Turbo.
Now to down size further.
By the way, do you have a tune for this car, I just dropped the height to around -25 and ramped up the springs a bit? Any LSD info?

 

[Dalone]

Removed the Mid range turbo on the Alfa which took it to 450pp, 172hp. Only beat the G4 by 4.43sec but earned $904,860. Now I have to go and buy some unwanted cars to lower my earnings.

Evere thing is cool about this event!
The olny stupid think is the prize car. Why we get prize cars that we can get any time we wont and every body have.
Not cool!

Thanks very much for that Joho, I'll try it shortly.
As I had nearly $20 mil I did a quick race in A Spec to make it $20 mil exactly and so spent it all on a Ferrari 330 P4 Race Car 67.
And I won a trophy for being "Penniless", ha ha. Have dogs to feed now then I'll begin to recoup my fortune, again.

Prize car is actually pretty awesome. It wins at a lower pp than the Alfa.
I just raced the Z28 prize car with 450pp on Cote D'Azur and won by 10 seconds, against the G4.
Took aero all the way down, added 200kg all to the back, and power limited the rest.

I'm about to try 440 and 430.

 

[johof1234]

went ahead and skipped to 430pp. And now the Z28 RM you get as the prize has won Cote D'Azur at 430pp. Suck it G4!

Got 1,096,800 credits.

 

[Diogo]

I'm gonna try my 426pp Elan

 

[johof1234]

Z28 RM wins at 420pp. Payout is 1,188,200 credits. gonna try 410.

 

[Dean]

I'm currently having some difficulties with Eiger, anybody got an advise?

 

[Eezee]

Skip until there's no G4

 

[shepzki]

The second lineup is far better for lower PP as the Elan Ginetta is not in the race. Just did 380pp in my Chevrolet Corvette Convertible (C3) '69 and won by 14.5 seconds (@ Monaco) so there is much more to be had.

1,544,660 CR
154804 XP

Edit

Just won again @ 364PP, it's as low as I can get this car to go without wearing the engine down. 50% power @ max ballast.

CR 1,700,040
XP 170376

 

[Dean]

Skip until there's no G4

I'll try that.

 

[Diogo]

Is the S800 RSC Race Car any good ?

 

[johof1234]

Beat the G4 at 410pp at Monaco. In the Z28

I beat the G4 with a best lap of 2:03.7, slow lap of 2:05.8.

 

[Woodski_427]

Couldn't do better than 7th in 450pp Bus on Madrid and Eiger. Setup isn't right though, and using mid turbo but the gearing needs sorting out. Fun nevertheless!

 

[Bagmup]

Unfortunately, it's not. I'll probably never get a 2J

I'll give you the same advice i was given to get a 2J. 💡

Go to license B, load the B1 license then skip B1 to B5... Bingo, 30 new cars in the used car lot. Keep going until one pops up, i got one on my second try.

 

[Jaywalker]

I didn't say I was gonna use it (don't even have one - that's why I want one so badly) I was just hoping it'd be the prize car. The 4WD seasonal was limited to 530PP, and the prize was the Escudo Dirt Trial car, which has over 700PP. So if we're gonna be using pre-1969 cars, the 2J would be a fitting prize car, seeing as how the '70s came right after the '60s.

Unfortunately, it's not. I'll probably never get a 2J

FR me & I'll send you a 1970 ticket. Recycle it 'til you get one. PSN: Rhinoafrica
