A-spec Expert Level Non-Racing Car Challenge: Nürburgring Nordschleife

[SuomiBoy96]

I just had a wild ride there with Esprit V8 '02. That was 6th car that won there for me

So thanks Cory...

Now I have a brand new one in my garage.

Right on. 👍

Great car stock. I'll be starting today's driving with it. I have four, one stock, one oil changed, one body rigidity added, and one oil changed and body rigidity added.

Which one if any would you say is the best for the Expert race. I can consistently run P2 with the stock one. In fact just finished P2 again so I'm done for today. The closest I've come is 2 sec. behind. I have plenty of credits so I could buy another 5 . For me this has been the best car I've used so far. Also to clarify I'm not discrediting any tuner as I've used several. I'm glad it's early in the going because I need to give my hands a break. I am considering trying to find a tune for it, but not sure how much difference it would make. I'd appreciate your thoughts about that. I also noticed this is not an exact repeat as the other was on Sports Softs. I didn't gold it either and as @AlexAlien said there are many faster and this is just for fun.

@Racin510s I just did 5 races in the no oil, no added rigidity car. Won all 5 against various rabbits, including the big engine Zonda. 8:04 total time against the Zonda's 8:07

A tuned version will likely be faster if for no other reason than the transmission. But with the power cut, and peak power at 5800 rpm, which the stock transmission doesn't dip that low with shifts, I'm not sure. Rest of the car seems pretty good to me.

 

[coryclifford]

Ferrari F430 Scuderia '07 comes in at 549pp. Slap on some SM tires. Pretty sweet.

 

[GTsail]

I've run a few more cars and was able to get them under the 8 minute mark:

The Pagani Zonda C12S '00:

The Alpine Vision Gran Turismo:

The McLaren MP4-12C:

And the Cadillac CIEN '02:

The Cadillac CIEN is very fast, but is quite a hand-full if you touch the grass, so it took quite a number of attempts before I was able to run a fast lap for the entire 'Ring

 

[coryclifford]

Few more wins with stock cars on SM tires today:

Tommykaira ZZII - fastest for me
Ferrari Enzo - slippery
Ferrari FXX - fastest down the long straight
Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (C7) '14 - pretty slow

 

[purpdino]

Just did the Alpine VGT; fun ride and very easy gold.

 

[GTsail]

A very tuned Honda NSX Type R '02 on SM might get under 8 minutes. Not a concept car but does seem favoured by PP limited regs.

👍 I was able to run the Honda NSX Type R '02 and get under the 8 minute mark:

As you say, it does seem slightly favored within the PP regs
Its quite fast, but is a little skittish at this high a PP value.
I guess my tune needs some work

 

[GTsail]

Its a bit of a challenge, but the RUF CTR2 '96 is fast enough to go under the 8 minute mark as well:

Pedal to the floor and hold on for a wild ride

 

[Dietrich]

Win with my Pagani Zonda C12S '00 550 PP (SM) with final gear at 3.000 and TC 1

Ridox2JZGTE Replica Garage has won a Seasonal Event!
​

After three trials using first a Mustang, then a Lamborghini, and then @Ridox2JZGTE replica of Ferrari 430 Scuderia '07 as it is from his garage, only fitted Sports: Medium tires on it. And what a race it was, it ended as one of the closest, and barely not won races I have raced in GT6. Thank you @Ridox2JZGTE . Here is the result below. Everyone, try Ridox tune for this Seasonal challenge

Well remembered my friend. I joined 8:16 with Ferrari, but it was enough for the win.

Nothing better than rum and coke and Playstation haha!

Reading this thread has got me wanting to have a crack. Stand by for a rubbish amatuer attempt haha

 

[LewyMan]

Came 3rd on first attempt with the Zonda C12.
Bombed up a ZZII to 550PP (cause I'm out of practice), and there was no rival ZZII so I wasted the competition!

 

[GTsail]

The Audi R8 4.2 FSI '07 is fast enough to go under 8 minutes as well:

In the above race, the troublesome AI got in my way a little so I gave it another try and shaved off a tenth of a second:

The AI still got in my way during the second race, so a faster time is certainly possible. The Audi R8 does a nice job on the 'Ring even though I have mine tuned for Eifel.

 

[Dietrich]

Enjoyed that, courteous too.

Stock McLaren MP4, took a few goes but got it in 8.17.

I got 8:12 with the stock McLaren but the rabbit did 8:09.

 

[coryclifford]

Few more wins with stock cars on SM tires today:

Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (C7) '14 - pretty slow

My mistake, it had a flat floor on it, which would explain why it was slow. So instead make that the stock Z06 (C6) '06 with SM tires.

Finally after multiple cars/tunes/different line ups I got it done with the NSX-R LM . Today must have been my day. I got the right line up, the SLR was P1 annd he almost caught me on the long straight and I believe if it wasn't for that fact that the AI brake so early it would have been a much closer race. The set up was from one of the last Super Laps on CS tires. I don't know who to credit for the tune so here it is.
80/85 Brk 8/6
4.43/6.61
5/5
5/5
7/7
0.0/0.0
0.0/0.0
stock trans, top speed 199, FD 4.285
5/10/5
Engine Stage 3
DF 260/500 ( was 350/600)

If anybody recognizes this please step forward so that I can both thank you and give you credit for such a great handling car.

Now to see if I can get it done on my son's account. Does anyone have a tune for the SLR prize car?

My first trial (and only yet) was a pimped KTM X-Bow. Would have to look up the tune, probably from Praiano or one of the other tuning gods. Was pretty good to catch up until the beginning of the Döttinger Höhe. Rabbit was a Murcielago. Unfortunately I was just a little bit too far behind for slip streaming so it got away, increasing my distance from 2s at the beginning to ~3.5s. So I had to get the last corners in full risk mode and actually a collision in the last right before the finishing line brought me the victory by ~0.5s. With a little more confidence in the car at the beginning of the lap it wouldn't have been so close. I'll try a few different cars as I see so many people struggling. From my point of view the X-Bow should be worth a try.

How did you win with a 8.25? Ive been doing 8.16s and still coming 2nd.

It was like I said the 2nd place AI slowed way down for the last 3 turns to the finish. Had it not been for that I may very well have been P2 for the 12th time.

 

[xLukeOwen]

Been trying to do this for the majority of the evening and tried a multiple of cars with no luck.. so had a nosey on the web and found a YouTube video of someone who does a hellauva quick time on the nordschleife in a BMW M3 CSL and had a tune in the description, tried it out and after a few races and getting used to the car, finally nailed it!

 

[Wolf68]

Not sure how, but sober me is slower, I was able to win. (Finally) I'm going to say it was all the line up I was against this time...lol

EDIT:
Adjusted suspension and turned an 8:08.044

EDIT 2:
Pagani zonda 7.3 - 8:20.532

 

[CBH]

The KTM X-Bow has a lot of grip at this track and thanks to @Bowtie-muscle KTM X-Bow Street '12 tune , I put his tune on my '15 Anniversary Edition KTM X-Bow R and change the final gear to 2.795 .

 

[Tony ray]

My best so far. Doing a lot better today as the AI seem 10 sec slower than yesterday.

See if I can crack 8mins before this seasonal is up.

 

[GTsail]

I decided to give a few bow-tie's a try so after a bit of tuning I got some decent results and was able to get under the 8 minute mark with all of them:

Chevy Corvette Stingray Gran Turismo:

Chevy Corvette ZR1 C6 '09:

Chevy Corvette Z06 C6 '06:

Chevy Corvette Stingray C7 '14:

Good fun!
They all drive pretty similar and are certainly all quite fast in a straight line, however, they all exhibit a little too much understeer so you have to wait a bit to get thru some of the turns. I'm not really sure which I like the best, so I guess I need some more track time to find out!

 

[Racin510s]

The NSX-R LM did it for me again . It was a closer finish but a win regardless. Yes there are many faster than me and yes this was another 8 minute run but still a win. I am happy to have won again. I don't know if I'll try it again because by the time the race is done my hands are shaking so bad I can't get a descent picture. The Good Lord smiled upon me once more and gave me the perfect line up and the ability. Congrats 👍 to all of you who have used multiple cars for multiple wins against much tougher opponents.

The one thing I forgot to mention about the set up was increased body rigidity and standard size aftermarket wheels. I still would like to give credit to whom ever it was that did the tune. The tune was from the Super Lap 550 PP at Eifel Flat that I never could gold. Oh well. As @AlexAlien said there are many faster than me but it's the fun that matters.👍 Thanks again to the community, who without all of you GT6 would not be as fun as it is.

I use the @Jeje6410 McLaren F1 '94 which is a very good handling car at this track and I am very please with you car my friend .

On Jeje6410 car use this gear box below for this track, final gear to 5.000 then max speed to 240kmh and then do the gears and then the final gear, this car will get you under the 8 minutes without the road blocks which I had some trouble with couple of AI out on the track.
