Won this with the Nissan Silvia S15 Touring Car that I made in way back in late 2013/early 2014 for @zachrox96's "Around The World" Clubman Cup which stopped after two races.

Thanks to @nowcontrol for keeping us informed of each new event. Looking forward to this one to as PD had given us another decent event.

Edit: Thanks @ThrasherDBS for the idea to use the Silvia. I'll buy another one and try out your tune. I originally was going to use my MotorSport Elise. I'll use it next. Loving these new races. Got to get back to 200% so that I can buy the P330 P4. I missed buying this one at the beginning of the game.

 

[coryclifford]

Hah.

 

[BerchBG]

Stock Detuned TVR Tuscan Speed 6 RM on the second try. (First try I forgot to turn traction control off)

 

[Polsixe]

Seemed a little tougher than a usual Intermediate Race. Lotus for the checkered flag, passing on the last roundabout.

 

[cristobal]

The Lancia Delta S4 is very fun to drive, the drift in turns can be easily controlled. It's not efficient for sure. But fun is present.

 

[cristobal]

And spoon LM race car do the job at first try, 7'55 with no particular tune and lots of walls

 

[coryclifford]

Spoon S2000 race car stock and at 483 PP is great.

 

[lfm58]

Spoon S2000 race car stock and at 483 PP is great.

As you may know we are on the same page about stock Spoon S2000.
I did a couple of race around Madrid winning under control, here the faster one:

I would underline that Spoon S2000 is very fast tuned at 500pp too:

PAD/AT/ABS1

ciao

 

[coryclifford]

A stock Opera S2000 '04 at 477 PP is quite good also.

And the stock S2000 LM, of course.

 

[coryclifford]

@lfm58 500 PP Spoon action

 

[lfm58]

@coryclifford even if my km are mostly GT Sport in these days I made a further session around Madrid.
The GT6 Spoon is too funny to give up your time challenge!

PAD/AT/ABS1/FL 1:22.189 (not in the same race with above race time)

Around 10 races in which I scored 1:26 at 4th and the remainders hunting 1:24...

ciao

@coryclifford @lfm58
Hey mates, I'm watching your competition ... curious how this turns out !
Spend my little time trying to get up to "sporty" speed which isn't exactly fun tbh.

I did 80% GTS carrier (Gold only) in 3 days.
To be frank I got quite bored and with serious doubts about DS4 competitiveness.
Therefore I'm taking a GTS break...

Spoon is a great handling car and still great competitors in the GT6 gang as @coryclifford.
@ROCKET JOE you could take a GTS break and challenge us here.

ciao

PS: I bought G29

 

[coryclifford]

Yesterday, after work, all I wanted to do was drive. But earlier in the day I caught a cold and felt kind of crappy and just wasn't in the mood to push hard around any track. Today, as I just woke up, I feel really crappy! Dang it! I hate catching colds and all the snot involved.

I'm not done yet, @lfm58 and congrats on the G29!

lfm58 :
Thx for the invitation but I think I'm not gonna take part in your Madrid race. It's sad but GT6 has lost me. Not for GTS being so great ...
I just don't want to move one step forward and one step back again. Mentioned already that I'm trying to get up to speed there and
I'm still far from feeling pleased.
As a part-time single dad with two kids, a household, a full-time employment and a car ( and a horse and a boat on Barbados ) there's
1 - 2 hours left max each day, it's gonna take time ... but I'm ok with that.

That's right - the DS4 will not be competitive when it comes to serious racing ( except you're a Dualshock super artist ) -
just like it ever was. I've always missed one or two features like a speed-independent steering lock for example but if PD gets the DS4
to work as good as the DS3 did, everything's fine 👍 !

I neither have the talent nor the ambition nor the time nor the equipment [ continues ] to reach the top, so that's not the point at all.
I've always had my own measurement which is a percentage compared to the top drivers.
Since GT5 it's been between 1 - 3 percent of an alien laptime in every time trial I did ... and that's what I try to get to atm in GTS.
Been doing two qualifier laps on Tuesday and Thursday with a 2.1 percent gap ... consistency and confidence are still missing though.
Guess I'll have to guerilla overtake the complete competition later !

Hope to see you all sometime again ...

PS : I bought Assetto Corsa



Add on :
It's remarkable how many people are into GTS - feels like the GT Academy effect with top guys from each and every racing game out there. Competition is outstanding.

 

[dwight42]

looks to me like the S2000 race car is the choice car for this high paying 500pp race. that delta S4 rally car is the car if you got 1.45 mill to burn.

 

[Racin510s]

I took my brand new Ferrari 330 P4 that I bought running the Expert race and had a very fun race against the Delta S4 which I think is the fastest rabbit. I haven't lost a race against any field so far. Some were a little more difficult than others. The 330 P4 was the most fun. The tune came from @skeagracing and was a pure joy to drive. I'm only going to change the transmission for the next race here and future races that will allow this car.

 

[phineas777]

Not really one of my favourite tracks but countered this with one of my favourite cars from GT5....

👍

 

[Woodski_427]

Quite a tricky race this I thought. Had a couple of goes in the EK Civic TC against the Delta S4, but couldn't get the win. Second race I was alongside the S4 coming around the final roundabout but he pulled away onto the straight. I caught up at the chicane but the S4 was again quicker out of the corner and I finished 0.7 behind.

 

[ishikawa2501]

Just undusted my old loved wild "untamable" Garaiya GT300.
I always loved the "vanilla" Garaiya but I had every kind of trouble trying to tame the GT300 version. After some time I decided to give myself another chance and try again to tame it via tunning.
The main challenge is the acceleration with a controller, so I had to play with the back camber angle and the LSD accel setting.
My time is nothing spectacular, but for me, achieving a win with this little beast its a win in itself

 

[JR_Lebowski]

Besides the S2000's (Opera, LM, Spoon), I like pushing the Alfa Romeo 155 around this track, the Calibra (Super) Touring Cars, the Amemiya RX7-GT300 and the good old RS200 Rally (the sound!) & AMG Merc.
Edit: I almost forgot to mention the Renault Megane Trophy (with - I think - an 'old' Praiano tune) 👍

 

[ishikawa2501]

FF represent!

I was not convinced the 86 Race Car could win this, but I was wrong!
