I like the chase idea. Awesome! Are you doing anything to the 380 RS? It might need SS tires or it might not be too hard to catch. I haven't driven it stock so I don't actually know.
I could potentially drive the 380 RS. I do have a tendency to choke in races where I'm clinging to a lead though.

This should be good fun! I'd love to race the 380RS tbh, would be pretty exciting! Couple of q's though,
Are the tyres fixed or will they be part of the budget? And what tyres will the 380 be on? And also, how likely is it that the 380RS will be beaten? Depends on driver I guess, but like, on average

The 380RS is comes fitted with Sports Soft. As it is already 100k, there will be no modifications. However, the driver is allowed to adjust suspension, as it also comes standard with sports suspension.
For other cars, tires are not fixed. If you think 36K into the tires is a good investment, go for the racing soft (not sure how much they actually cost, but you get the idea.) I think the cheapest Z is 36 or something so if you did that with race soft tires, you'd have spent 72k of your budget.
I tested the 3 premium Z's against the RS a few months ago using a d-pad and limited suspension tuning with the same 100k budget. I was able to beat my best time in the 380RS around a course maker track with 2 out of the 3 other Z's. The other was way off. They were all tuned a fair bit differently. I also spent much more time in the other cars trying to beat the time. If I had equal track time, who knows what the outcome would be.
As I mentioned earlier, I think I am going to hold a race to determine who drives the RS. Either prior to the actual race, or a few days before. If you want in let me know! To uphold the "chase" idea, I want to ensure the 380RS has pole position, but I don't want to handicap everybody elses starting position. I think I have a solution, but it is pretty complicated...I am going to try it later to make sure it will work.

380RS Driver Selection:
Saturday Morning at 9am Pacific. This will be a public lobby title "380RS only." It will include random races of varying length, like 3 laps or so. There will be a 10 lap race of Tokyo.
This room will have damage heavy and no aids other than ABS. (The real race will not be this strict, but this needs to be a challenge, right?

The early bird catches the worm. Grab a cup of coffee but put it down before you race. Tomorrow at 9am pacific. All you east coasters and Europeans may have a time advantage but that want stop me. Bring your bone stock 380RS.
Then get ready for the main event on Sunday.
Should be a big turnout, but dont let that stop you. If this is your first time reading this thread, you too can join the race.
See you there.

Mindless and I did some laps and he was a fair bit quicker than I. If anyone wants to race the 380 and couldn't make it this morning let me know. Do a couple laps online and let me know what your time is.

Wow, didn't expect any interest.
I'm at work and won't be home til 6. Send me a PSN invite: zmikedz, and I will accept the request as soon as I sign on.
And yes, it is 6:30 Pacific. And I just noticed John is from Ireland. I'd love to have some more people but that'd be 2:30 in the morning for you, mate. If you can make it, great, but I'd thought I'd make sure you were aware.

unfortunately I don't think anyone else was interested. My lobby is up right now. If there isn't anyone other than you I will open a public room.
