Had fun with the GSX-R, you only have to brake three times on the whole lap and simply lift off the throttle for the rest. The prize car was disappointing.

 

[Jeje6410]

Easy win with my Autobacs Garayia '02 450 PP (SH)

Good Drive and enjoy

 

[Wolf68]

might have to see how low of PP car can win this one....

**more to follow**

This one at 350PP

This one at 350PP

Thanks to PD for using this track. It was a favorite of mine in GT5 and now GT6. I took the prize car from the Intermediate race and tuned it myself. I did have to lower the spring rates because on this track I use the rumble strips a great deal of the time. I founf that out in Test Drive as I ended upside down. It is very nice little car. With race exhaust it sounds pretty good too. I was in the lead at the end of lap 2 and sailed home for any easy win. Thanks again to @skeagracing 👍 for helping me learn to tune.

Nice choice sir.

 

[Jeje6410]

Nice choice sir.

Thanks a lot my friend @UltimateLurker

 

[Racin510s]

Had a great time at Cape Ring. My 450 PP cars are quite fun was well. I had to remember to soften the springs. I almost ended upside over one of the rumble strips. Just running for fun and enjoying PD's offerings this go around.

Had some fun at Cape Ring today. I ran my trusty 510 and some other cars that have been collecting dust. I ran the pink Kubelwaggon to honor @WhoosierGirl and the Fiat turbo coupe and the Lotus Elan S1. Sure wish PD would let us gift cars to other players. Mostly junk cars as prizes and you can't sell them or give them away. My stockyard is beginning to fill up.

Ludicrously easy race, thanks to the fact the AI simply cannot deal with the Rainbow Bridge.

With J. Morales (Impreza) as the lead car, I can win in my fabulous, Barried, 330PP Micra (well, March).

Edit: And at 325PP...

Edit: And another seven seconds slower at 320PP (97hp, 1155kg)!

 

[AlexAlien]

Another completely Stock car that wins it easily against the right field (and because of the bridge ):

347PP - 1:56.842 - 8:15.856 - VW Lupo GTi '01 - CS - FF - 114bhp - 975kg - BMW M Coupe '98 - 8:16.954
(Wheel, MT, ABS1)

Don't know how much lower (PP) i can go before i have to change car settings, e.g. Transmission

What settings apart from Power and Body did you change?

Running fully optimized at 320PP (97bhp, 1155kg) i won a race with 8:25 , with stock settings except Power and Body on CS tyres i only ran a 8:38

 

[Famine]

I honestly can't remember. We made terrible Barry cars for some reason a little while back and I just picked it out of the garage because it looks ridiculous.

It seems to be scraping the floor and has bucketloads of camber too, so I'm guessing it's not exactly stock - but it may have been made for looking Barry rather than to drive well!

Thanks for letting me know

With the complete Stock version i managed another 'easy' win:

344PP - 1:58.632 - 8:24.910 - Nissan March 12SR '07 - CS - FF - 108bhp - 960kg - Nissan Skyline GT-R V.spec (R32) '93 - 8:24.974 (Wheel, MT, ABS1)

So it rather looks like I was right and it has been comprehensively ruined in exactly the same manner that a Barry would ruin it:

Slammed to the floor, loads of camber, everything set way too hard - just like a Barry likes!

Glad my name's not Barry.

Never heard that term before.

Glad my name's not Barry.

Never heard that term before.

A Barry, or Barryboy, is a young male who drives a crap hatchback (usually) which has been excessively modified, usually in a manner that sees no performance benefits. Typically this is stuff like putting it as close to the floor as possible, a crap bodykit, garish paintjob, Lexus lights, big wing, massive exhaust and lots and lots of stickers. Basically kids who think their cars are race cars, when they're barely cars.

Like this:

And my Micra

 

[coryclifford]

Yeah we just call them ricers.

I tried to go as low as I could with the stock SPRINTER TRUENO GT-APEX at 340 pp. After showing some control to not to throw away my sixaxis in frustration because of the inhumane Elise 111R acceleration I decided to use the GT-APEX Shigeno's suspension and improve from there. I do some tunning without touching the suspension any further and not going higher than 340pp. After redistributing the car's weight, using SH tires, race brakes and other things I finally beat that %$#%$&# bunny

Then I tought "how about to test this configuration at lower pp without te &%$/& elise"
Same configuration at 324pp

Won relatively "easy", how about go as low as I can go?
319pp

I started using the apex out of curiosity for being the car used in that anime (I havent watched it yet), but now I get why it is famous. Please note that last race getting the shigeno's version in the roster, while the game does not allows me to do so (I guess its because its a "custom made" version)

Original @gkgamer 350pp/CS PRIUS tune set at 310pp/SH can win under control:
