A-spec Expert Level Non-Racing Car Challenge: Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit

[Draggon]

Special shoutout to @OdeFinn and his special contribution to Mad Finn Tuners brand of tuned cars for getting me through this event with the RUF CTR2 '96. This also got me through a tough Cote d'Azur event about a year or so ago as well.

Yep, just tried that one, it will do it. 👍

Nice car for this one. Good Gold. Damn good tune. Zippy and excellent stability. Never knew this car could drive so good.
TVR Cerbera Speed 12 '00, GhostRider65 tune.
(After final tuning just adjust/widen final gear to accommodate longer stretch so won't run out of speed)

@davidt33 that TVR looks awesome. Will def give that a go. I tried the 05 Ford GT a couple times, most fun I think was with stage 3 weight reduction, stage 1 power, intake, and sport medium tires, just to give the AI a chance

Took a few tries but managed to get through with the Maserati (577 PP max, 1320 Kg).

Requires some throttle control but cool to drive.

👍

 

[KayBear666]

Yep, and ramming them on purpose then drafting them is a good thing on those two long straights. But a bad thing everywhere else. Strategic Ramming™.

Sounds like a bit of a cheat to me

 

[GTPVenomZombie]

Just won it with the Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro Chrome Line, got a gap of +01.861, that bloody Huayra `11 is a nightmare!

 

[McLarensFinest]

Well iv been on for a 10.29.xxx without any bumping into cars

 

[coryclifford]

I don't need to bump cars. 10:26

I can get about five seconds faster bumping cars. 10:21

It's only on the first two laps and simply because I can.

 

[McLarensFinest]

Well you won't catch me bumping cheating etc I like to race lol I find it fun getting past clean. Think we should have videos to prove there not cheating

When I see some of the times and PP numbers it would be nice to see these videos. My only interest is in running a clean race. The PP numbers or lap times you run is not important to me just clean racing. In the real world of racing if I did crazy things on track during a race I would be black flagged or worst dead.

You've got to try this one people!

It is not called ramming, it's called a love tap 👍.

Really agree with you mate I live having a good clean race but I love getting a fast lap and trying to beat the time. But there's no better feeling than making a great over take without making any contact with any of the field or the walls lol even if I don't win.

It's not about cheating bro. It's just having some fun with the AI cars when you can afford to.
Winning clean is easy enough in these seasonals IMO and that is done many times over. But in between multiple races (of racing clean and winning easily) it is just a bit of fun to toy with them...teasing if you may.... getting right up to them nuddingly, even passing them and slowing down to let them catch up and block them every so often (without attracting a penalty)...then try and go for the win. Just a bit of extra challenge and to spice things up. Just a game bro. Have fun.

 

[pretend racer]

I think it's cool to exploit different aspects of the game, afterall, the whole point of racing is to be the fastest. bump drafting is fair game as far as I'm concerned, if people can grind down 515pp race cars in order to compete in a 500pp TT and they are willing and able, then more power to them.
I personally can't be bothered because in the end, a win is a win.

I think it'll be a lot easier to post vids on the PS4 once gtsport comes out. People will be more likely to post vids if it's easy. I know I will.

I would love to see these videos as well if they are doing the right thing, but you may find they are not doing the right thing at Bathurst unless we see a video of the race like you said.

 

[Wolf68]

Best comment yet!!!
JK...

 

[coryclifford]

Videos for proof...

I woke up after a nap, opened a beer, and did this. Warming up. 587 pp Alpine. The video shows only up to P1 by the Conrad Straight on lap 2. I slightly bumped the McLaren at turn 1. I got no bump draft action, but lap 1 is a 2:01.859

 

[Ian JB]

Aha! Now I see where I am going wrong! Having watched Cory's video - I must remember to unhitch the trailer before I go racing!!!!

:-)

 

[DisabledRacer]

592 PP, Mercury Cougar XR-7 '67 got me a win against a slower field using my own basic, quick tune. Car is fast, if you can keep from burning up the tires. Could have run a tiny bit faster, but I tried to run a clean race..... This time!

I'm all about having fun bro but if your doing things like that then do it but don't bother posting a time up like you raced your heart out to get a good overall time when in reality your playing bumper cars like being at the fairground

 

[KT_74_06]

Easy win with almost stock MP4-12C'10 :-)

 

[skeagracing]

Saleen S7. Cockpit race on replay view. P1 Pagani Huayra. P2 TVR Cerbera. P3. McLaren F1. Fast lap 2:02.053. Pass for the win on lap 3 at The Chase Corner. Wining margin over the Huayra 18.578.

Unless there's video proof, I don't believe it!
