EXPENSES

DIARY

Having reached 25% made Prof S.C.R.Oghes feel good about himself. A few months ago he didn't even have a license. He was a different man, even considered updating his wardrobe. "80's stonewashed jeans are still cheap enough" he said to the man in the mirror. Although he didn't have to worry about his clothes matching his choice of vehicle as he would soon enough have classics in his storage unit, he was surprised to catch himself talking about updating his clothes. "Strange feeling that one." he mused as he climbed on the LARAMIE truck he'd just won.

PICKUP TRUCK CHALLENGE *** LARAMIE RAM TRUCK
Laguna Seca. 1st by 1.694 1st by end lap 1, block sst concept on lap 2 then block SVT F150 on lap 3
Daytona. 2nd by 0.159, Spun, DNF, 2nd by 0.604, 3rd by 0.242

S.C.R. gave up on the daytona leg of the truck challenge. "I love drafting but this is ridiculous. I am set for a win and some guy just drafts of me and wins."

He decided a comp where drafting wasn't a factor was the next option. He'd come back to the trucks sometime later.

KARTING EXPERIENCE ADVANCED **** PDI RACING KART
Tokyo Bat. DNF , 1st by 1.492. He was first after 2nd turn and then just had to keep the lines.

He looked in the brochures for the next thing to do. There wasn't many options so he decided to go back to the Test Gear Track and do the advanced challenge.

TOP GEAR TEST TRACK ADVANCED
The WWII cars were slow and getting hit on the side by one of them was an eye bulging experience. He quickly discovered that planting your foot firmly on the accelerator would cause the engine to overheat and shut off for a couple of seconds. He used this to his advantage when overtaking the last two cars. It took four attempts (DQ 3 times) though.

The prize was an XFR '10.
He thought he'd use a similar tactic on the beginner course and get a better result.

TOP GEAR TEST TRACK BEGINNER

"Maybe the same will work on the Intermediate" he though. I sort of did...

TOP GEAR TEST TRACK INTERMEDIATE
DQ, DQ, DQ, DQ, DQ, DQ, DQ, DQ, DQ, DQ, 2nd.

He checked his progress report: Level 20, 28% and 2,051.689 credits. He smiled.

"We need to talk" said the voice on the phone. He recognized her voice, cheerful and gentle. He could almost see her smile. "Bad news always start like that" he replied. "Well, it kind of is bad news. Let's meet for lunch.". They worked out a time and place. He was left wondering what was going on.

"I couldn't shoot THIS messenger!" he said with a smile as he sat down. She got there first which gave him a chance to look at her from the distance. It was a very nice looking messenger indeed. He could not help notice her dress had a bit of a throwback style. "I lost a bet at work and now I have to wear 70's clothes for two days" came a reply.

"You need to go back to school" she said with a cheeky smile. "But I am a pro..." "Driving school you silly" she interrupted him. "How's that?" he asked. "I had a look at the rules and I found something you may like" she said as she sipped some wine. "You can do quite a bit of the program without spending a dime." she added. He had thought about that a long time ago but it was nice to see her taking an interest. "Go on" he replied. "There are some prize cars that will let you participate in some events. But you have already done those licenses with only a bronze finish. So you didn't get those cars".

She was right. He knew that already but he was running out of races to do without having to spend money. Back to school it was. He thought about what to say next "Could I ask for your ongoing advice on this?" "Sure, here is my number. You can call me anytime"... It was a productive lunch, very productive...


He liked the Top Gear Test track so he went back there to redo one event.

S.C.R could not see what other races he could do with prize cars. There were the Vitz and the NA roadster races that he had cars for but he felt they were too underpowered to win. In the mean time he worked out that by getting all golds in the AMG Intermediate event he would win the CLK-LM race car that would hopefully allow him to win a few more races. So he set out to get it.

He had enough and needed a rest. He went back to the hotel and collapsed on the bed.
The next morning S.C.R was ready before the sun came up. He had not slept much going over and over the circuit in his head. He felt he knew where he was loosing time and could not wait to get back to the track.

#5 Full Lap dry. DNF X 6, 7:08.418, DNF X22, 7:06.292, DNF

He was devastated. On that 7:06 lap he thought he had it in the bag only to hit the barriers coming out of the last corner. He decide to try something else.

"ARRRRRRGGGGGHH" he shouted as he walked away from the cone slalom once again.

Not having many other races that he could do he decided to try three races that had he felt he didn't have a good car for but he hadn't had a proper go at yet.

The phone rang and a familiar voice brought a smile to SCR's face. "You are almost there!" she said. "Only 5 percent short of half way. Have you thought how you are going to get to it?"

He hadn't really thought about it so all he could reply was "Keep on driving?". "Why don't you come by the office and we can talk about it?". That is all she needed to say, she had that kind of effect on him. After lunch he felt invigorated and ready to reach 50%. And she had paid for lunch. What a gal!

S.C.R. gave up on the daytona leg of the truck challenge. "I love drafting but this is ridiculous. I am set for a win and some guy just drafts of me and wins."

He decided a comp where drafting wasn't a factor was the next option. He'd come back to the trucks sometime later.

He looked in the brochures for the next thing to do. There wasn't many options so he decided to go back to the Test Gear Track and do the advanced challenge.

TOP GEAR TEST TRACK ADVANCED
The WWII cars were slow and getting hit on the side by one of them was an eye bulging experience. He quickly discovered that planting your foot firmly on the accelerator would cause the engine to overheat and shut off for a couple of seconds. He used this to his advantage when overtaking the last two cars. It took four attempts (DQ 3 times) though.

The prize was an XFR '10.
He thought he'd use a similar tactic on the beginner course and get a better result.

"Maybe the same will work on the Intermediate" he though. I sort of did...

He checked his progress report: Level 20, 28% and 2,051.689 credits. He smiled.
 
"We need to talk" said the voice on the phone. He recognized her voice, cheerful and gentle. He could almost see her smile. "Bad news always start like that" he replied. "Well, it kind of is bad news. Let's meet for lunch.". They worked out a time and place. He was left wondering what was going on.

"I couldn't shoot THIS messenger!" he said with a smile as he sat down. She got there first which gave him a chance to look at her from the distance. It was a very nice looking messenger indeed. He could not help notice her dress had a bit of a throwback style. "I lost a bet at work and now I have to wear 70's clothes for two days" came a reply.

"You need to go back to school" she said with a cheeky smile. "But I am a pro..." "Driving school you silly" she interrupted him. "How's that?" he asked. "I had a look at the rules and I found something you may like" she said as she sipped some wine. "You can do quite a bit of the program without spending a dime." she added. He had thought about that a long time ago but it was nice to see her taking an interest. "Go on" he replied. "There are some prize cars that will let you participate in some events. But you have already done those licenses with only a bronze finish. So you didn't get those cars".

She was right. He knew that already but he was running out of races to do without having to spend money. Back to school it was. He thought about what to say next "Could I ask for your ongoing advice on this?" "Sure, here is my number. You can call me anytime"... It was a productive lunch, very productive...
 
He liked the Top Gear Test track so he went back there to redo one event.

"Stick them up!" said the muffled voice coming from behind him. S.C.R.Oghes didn't know what to do. His heart racing, his reflexes frozen. "Drop the Keys to the car in this bag, SLOWLY!". He drew a blank trying to think what car was he driving, he hoped it was one of the 'lesser' ones. A gas guzzler perhaps. Something he would not miss much.

"Stick them UP!" "Stiiiick them UP!". He had his hands up as far as he could, What on earth was this guy talking about?

"You are drenched, wake up!"... He opened his eyes and saw her standing over him... It had been a nightmare. "What are you doing here?" he managed to articulate. "Silly, you told the front desk to come wake you early. I just happened to be in the lobby". "Weiiiirrd" he thought to himself. But he did need to get up and go to the Geff Gordon Event, Pronto. So he jumped out of bed and rushed out.

S.C.R could not see what other races he could do with prize cars. There were the Vitz and the NA roadster races that he had cars for but he felt they were too underpowered to win. In the mean time he worked out that by getting all golds in the AMG Intermediate event he would win the CLK-LM race car that would hopefully allow him to win a few more races. So he set out to get it.

He had enough and needed a rest. He went back to the hotel and collapsed on the bed.

Are other prize cars available later that could win? What if someone gifted you a turbo and/or some tires?

#5 Full Lap Dry. ... DNF X 26 ...

He had enough and needed a rest. He went back to the hotel and collapsed on the bed.

26 DNFs in a row... you are dedicated! I think 5 in a row is my limit. More than that risks a thrown controller, and these new controllers are wireless so there is a lot more breakable stuff in range.

Keep up the good work.

I have looked and there does not seem to be. However I have already done those two races with those particular cars and won them (haven't got to that point in the story). It wasn't particularly "gentleman's" racing but no outright cheating took place :-)

Ha-Ha ... just the laps I did finish took about 1 hour. With the DNFs it probably was about 3 hours :-(.

Damn, you killed the competition. Maybe the Veyron would have been more of a challenge.

It can be had.. but if you read my posts it probably took me the better part of a day when you add up all the tries.


Damn, you killed the competition. Maybe the Veyron would have been more of a challenge.

Probably. But the Veryron has too much power for the tyres it comes with. I tried it on a couple of events and it was like driving on ice.

But this has happened a few times. It seems that you either have to compete with the odds against you or it is a walk in the park. Since the point of this save is to not spend any money I usually go for the easy way out. Unashamedly :-)

Thanks for reading! :-)

Just got to 50% last night so Part III will be starting soon. Hopefully I catch up with the postings (to 50%) today.
 
The phone rang and a familiar voice brought a smile to SCR's face. "You are almost there!" she said. "Only 5 percent short of half way. Have you thought how you are going to get to it?"

He hadn't really thought about it so all he could reply was "Keep on driving?". "Why don't you come by the office and we can talk about it?". That is all she needed to say, she had that kind of effect on him. After lunch he felt invigorated and ready to reach 50%. And she had paid for lunch. What a gal!

LAGUNA SECA 200 MILES ** CHALLENGER SRT8 '08
90 laps. 1st by 1:03. Pitted on lap 31 and 61. Managed to lap all but #2 once. The last 20 laps had #3 (corvette C5 '04) stuck to his tail like glue. All but one of the competition had 100+ HP over the challenger and was faster on a straight line. It was only by keeping lap times under 1:45 that SCR was able to build up a lead 2-3 seconds per lap.

He'd gotten to 50% without spending a dime. It gave him a strange feeling of accomplishment. Yes, he achieved his goal but all that burnt fuel... "Dunno how to feel about that" he said to Si. She was paying for dinner again and just kept pouring on the spirits. "Celebrate! be a sourpuss tomorrow. You'll be hung over and will at least ONE real reason to mop around!".

And so they drank the night away....
 
Wow, and you spent nothing so far?
20mil limit is a bummer, that'll mean you'll have to spend your money at one point which kinda ruins the concept. :/
I also did the same thing you did but, at 11mil I started spending.
Had to buy a car for DTM, bought GTR-LM (didn't know it was a prize), bought R10 (didn't know it was a prize) and some more.
Still, as I've said - amazing concept, keep it up. I'm looking forward to see what will you do for FGT and DTM, since you don't win the cars needed for it (unless you do enduros to get lvl24 ticket and get lucky to win a FGT).
