This one's like taking candy from a baby assuming you make use of The Shortcut(s)™. I managed 2:10 laps with a Firebird Trans Am.

Might give it a more legit run later on...

 

[CBH]

If you make shortcuts in a race like this one or any other A-spec event you should get a penalty for going of the track.

 

[N0t_L3fty]

Maxed out S800 by less than 2 seconds over the E type. No short cuts needed. This one will not be the grinder, looks like it's going to be an Autumn Ring couple of weeks. Pay out is awful puny for the running time on this one. Oh I guess it will do for a change of course...

 

[GT5 Level 41]

I used the Mach 1. I had the last two laps all to myself. I'll rerun with something weaker later.

 

[SVPSkins]

easy win with my Dino which was the first time i used it for racing( normally used for cruising) and apart form the air filter its stock and what a beautiful car to drive.

 

[Polsixe]

Very strange PP allowance, 530 is way too much for the rabbits which seem to be 450s . Used a BB512 and 2:30 laps and won easily over a Dino bunny passing on 2 nd lap.

Definitely a "low intermediate" level race.

 

[YZFrules]

Quick work to gold in my Shelby GT350 (500 PP) Off to pick up a Dino at the dealer.

 

[MTM79]

Went for it in my AC Cobra tuned to 530PP. Turned out to be a ridiculous overkill, winning by 40 seconds.. Although it was a fun way to do it. Very tailhappy car, lots and lots of drifting involved.

Of course its going to be easy if you shortcut. Try staying on the track next time hot shot.

Very strange PP allowance, 530 is way too much for the rabbits which seem to be 450s.

I think they may have set this PP limit to allow the use of the GT40, Miura, and Countach LP400 without the need to power limit them, and I would like to see those as the top 3 rabbits to go up against if that is the case.

I used the stock Countach LP400 and the line up consisted completely of sub 450PP cars which made it an easy and boring race with 2:20 laps, leading before the end of the first lap and winning by almost a minute.

I want to race in the three cars I've mentioned against those same cars, PD?

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Used a stock 439 PP E-Type Coupe '61 for the win, without the need to use the shortcuts.

 

[DisabledRacer]

Used the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupe '54 that maxes out at 505 PP. Easy win, even with running off the track once...... And using no shortcuts either!

 

[Racin510s]

Won this one with a '61 E-Type Jag with my own tune with the help of @Motor City Hami tune guide. Had some red front tires in the turns. The rabbit was the same car

 

[KOGSoldier]

Got gold with an old school vette fun race

 

[shaunm80]

Another overkill car for this track. Originally used around Rome on a previous season but works here perfectly.

Ford GT40 Mark I 15th Anniv '66 (Seasonal Setup)

[alex1369]

I won the 3 races with the same car.. with Lambo Miura easy..

 

[dddsprayshop]

So i used a car i never used, the Ferrari 512 BB '76.
Big mistake, i tuned it to 530pp
No shortcuts, no cheats and got 1st in lap 1, that became a boring race.
But i liked the Ferrari 512.

Spoiler: time and simple settings

 

[IBZ6L20VT]

Used a stock 439 PP E-Type Coupe '61 for the win

Used the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupe '54

Really beautiful choices!

I wish we had more old school car seasonals... But with lower PP and comfort hards. At least, it will introduce more variety to the seasonals.

 

[Dr Fourtrack]

easy win with my Dino which was the first time i used it for racing( normally used for cruising) and apart form the air filter its stock and what a beautiful car to drive.

Totally Agree with your choice of car, the Dino IS a beautiful car and a beautiful drive.
It'll be my choice when i get to go on this later.

Will also be joining @nowcontrol in my equally gorgeous Miura.

 

[Champ2014]

I won the 3 races with the same car.. with Lambo Miura easy..

Dang! Wish I had thought of that. I've got three of those bad boys. Could have used each one. haha

 

[UltimateLurker]

Finally have an excuse to buy a Miura. Now I just need a tune. Which one are you guys using for this track?

@ODB posted in the Eiger TT seasonal thread a great tune based on @praiano63's one. In ODB's tune you'll find the link to Praiano's one.

ODB's one is focused on ultimate performance while Praiano's one is more focused on a "fast but easy" driving.

[Halljim]

Lambo Miura P400, stock, no aids. Very nice drive.

 

[TKokab]

Dodge Charger 440 R/T 70

My winning Car

 

[Marc30599]

The Dino gave me the win lol

 

[DisabledRacer]

The 425 PP, Volkswagen Schwimmwagen Typ 166 '42 is my go to vehicle when I need a victory!

 

[martian]

Used a stock XNR Ghia Roadster '60. Was quite fun, not too easy or too hard.

 

[GolimLongshanks]

I won the 3 races with the same car.. with Lambo Miura easy..

Funny, the Muira was at the top of my list of eligible cars so I also used it for all three races. All easy wins but I'd forgotten what a fun car to drive the Muira is!

I see many re-runs coming over the next couple of weeks

I think getting the weight distributed evenly is the first step. After that you can try other tweaks but get the weight balance right first.
