Budget Car Challenge

[McRoflSandwich]

Im afraid I've not had time at all this week to attempt the challenge. My next free day to have a go will be Tuesday as I've got work this weekend. Would I be okay to submit a late entry for the first round? I'll happily take a penalty or something for it.

Sorry guys, I've just has so much university work this weeks it's unreal

 

[Airrider]

Alright, no problem. Believe me, I can understand that. Given how busy my days can be, I'll switch the deadline to the middle of this coming week. After all, technically this challenge started last Tuesday.

Okay then
Thank you for that
I didn't want to miss out on this season!

 

[VTiRoj]

Ok lap time is set. Now would anyone be so kind to tell me which is the cork screw section? Is it the loop corner?

Yes.

I've got a question though, is there a defined beginning and end to the corkscrew section, or rather, the legal scoring zone for the challenge? Obviously the highest speed you'd hit would be either at the corner entrance before you brake, or right at the end. No one wants to be DQ'd for taking a picture on the wrong part of the track, I'm sure.

Also I've gone back to Honda power after realising a Nissan Silvia from 1988 had the grip of a dog in a bathtub.

Edit: Sent my time and speed in. If my location on the corkscrew isn't legal, I'll happily redo it. 👍

 

[Off the Bit]

My time and speed are in. I'm a Honda driver this month too, I wanted to pick something different like a Triumph Spitfire but it wasn't happening. Good luck everyone and have fun.

 

[JWalker]

Im sticking with Mitsu this month, though it's not even a reminiscent of their rallyart brand.
By the way whats the official deadline for this week? I might not be able to submit my time until thursday, bbut ill try to do it asap.

 

[McRoflSandwich]

I'm really sorry guys, but I'm going to have to count myself out of this season... I've just got far too much work to do at the moment. Thanks Airrider for trying to extend the deadline for me, but I've just not had chance. The workload at Uni is killing me at the moment.

I'll be sure to come back! I'll try to be back next season. I'm barely ever at home at the moment, so I can't promise I'd be able to submit a time each week. So to save messing everyone about, it's probably easier for me to just do this for the moment.

 

[sixmo]

Did you get my entry?

 

[Airrider]

It's been a busy week for me as well. I'll get in the results tomorrow. The legal scoring section is after you enter the curve itself. Anything where the front and the back of the car are clearly in between the red segments on either side of the corkscrew is permissible.

Sorry to see you go. I'll see you next season. And sixmo, I got your entry. Everyone who's submitted their information is good to go.

As for the next event for everyone else...

Your cheap cars are more than likely meant to cope with the rigors of not just everyday driving, but the whims of their users. Most cheap cars can expect to be given customization options they just weren't built for, and then the crowd that buys them up tries to use them as performance cars regardless of what weight they may be carrying.

For your next challenge you will simulate this with a lap of the reverse Madrid Mini, but with a twist: you will simulate installing an enormous subwoofer in the trunk by putting the maximum amount of ballast in the back.

 

[CtrlAltDelete]

Ugh I haven't had access to the internet here at my house for some days now, but we got it back yesterday. If it's alright, I can send you my stats for run 1 tomorrow, and if not I completely understand. I'm terribly sorry for not being able to post sooner, though.

Yeah, it's totally understandable. Good luck with the uni work! 👍

200kg at the rear? That's no subwoofer, that's a full ICE install! This'll be interesting.

 

[Off the Bit]

Maximum ballast at the back? I thought it was meant to be a slimmed-down challenge this month! I'm slightly concerned putting that amount of weight at the back will mean my FF car's driving wheels don't touch the ground for most of the lap. Like VTIRoj says, it will be interesting! Good luck everyone.

 

[Airrider]

Okay, folks, results are in. This was a very telling round: I can sense things will be quite close.

Congratulations to Off the Bit for winning the Cape Ring North challenge, and to VTiRoj and Slirb for earning half of the Founder's Jackpot each!

And here's the car whose lap time and speed they matched to gain their share:

1988 Nisssan Silvia Q's (S13) - 8281 CR
Wing - 500 CR
Sport Soft Tires - 8000 CR
Total - 16781 CR

 

[VTiRoj]

Damn, the EG Civic was one of the cars I actually tested but didn't choose because I felt the Prelude was faster. Actually had an S13 K's too but I didn't want another wrestling season. At least the Founder's Jackpot helped me out.

 

[MadMax]

I've submitted my time and speed. (and car + parts)

I had only one car in mind to begin with.
Checked the mygranturismo.net for some car prizes and realised there are guite a few car prizes way off.

So , desided to just check my "budget car challenge log/memo" of cars I had bought and for what prize.

Soon narrowed the list of cars to choose from to 3-5 200 BHP + bangers

Didn't actually test the cars , but compared them on paper. Chose a Skyline.

Oh , I don't see any mentioning about Tyre/Fuel Depletion , so I left it off.

EDIT:
Sent in time for challenge 2



MadMax

 

[Airrider]

Oh, of course. I'll put in your results later. Welcome!

Well, ideally tire and fuel depletion shouldn't play a part into it, but if you're really diligent, then sure, turn those off. They'll only get in the way.

 

[Off the Bit]

So near and yet so far, congratulations to MadMax86.👍

I will get on that top step one day!

 

[JWalker]

Skyline? WTF!!! I think we have no chance this season.

 

[Airrider]

Hey, don't be so quick to count yourself out! There's still two rounds I haven't revealed yet. Who knows what I might throw your way then?

'sides, the BCC's supposed to be a fun bragging rights exercise first of all. As your Founder and host I'm obliged to think of new, wacky ways to level the playing field.

 

[CtrlAltDelete]

Alright, I sent in my time. I hooked my wheel up for this one, so I may do a bit better than that last round.

Edit: Yeah, I decided on the S13 after looking at the cars in the UCD for a bit, and it was the car I liked the best for under 12.5k. =)

 

[MadMax]

So near and yet so far, congratulations to MadMax86.👍

I will get on that top step one day!

Sorry for the late submission , I will try to run and submit the oncoming challenge/s earlier.

Skyline? WTF!!! I think we have no chance this season.

Almost maximum mileage one
I have 1930+ standards.
And almost every standard car with under 5000km and close to max mileage.

Choosing car for these challenges , tough job if you're going to cycle the UCD.
Easyer if you have the cars alredy. And the knowledge.

These cars mileage (in km) for exactly 12,500 Cr. cost would be: (and the stock tyres / choises at max mileage)

1989 Nissan Skyline GTS-t Type M (R32) : 95176km , N3's
1992 Honda Civic SiR-II : 45675km , N3's / S1's , S2's , S3's
1997 Mitsubishi FTO GP Version R : 84257km , N3's
1996 Honda Prelude SiR : 85477km , N3's / S1's
1985 Mazda RX-7 GT-Limited (FC) : 52067km , N3's / S1's , S2's , S3's
1979 Honda Civic 1500 3-Door CX : -61246km (for a prize of 12,500) , N2's / N3's , S1's , S2's , S3's , R1's
1991 Nissan Silvia K's (S13) : 77338km , N3's / S1's , S2's

If using miles , divide mileage km by 1.6 👍

EDIT: And Airrider's car:

1988 Nisssan Silvia Q's (S13) - 8281 CR = 93557-93563km

39327km for exactly 12,500 Cr. N3's / S1's , S2's , S3's

[VTiRoj]

Just sent my time in. It's really hillarious trying to get round the final hairpin with such little front end grip after putting Airrider's 200kg subs in the back.

Also in the spirit of this challenge, I shall leave this here. Not mine before anyone asks. I wish though, I wish.

 

[Off the Bit]

My tactic of buying a dirt cheap car so I could afford sports tyres as an upgrade has meant that it was a fairly easy drive around Madrid even allowing for the extra weight at the back. Easy to drive but probably a bit slow. I stuck the stock comfort mediums on for a few laps to see what the difference was and was either spinning, crashing into the barriers, or spinning and crashing into the barriers twice a lap, every lap.

 

[lebes14]

This sounds exciting and fun, unfortunately i caught it a little late ha ha. Will there be any open spots anytime soon?

Ive made myself an applicable car just for the fun of it. Audi s3 with sports soft tires and 220hp around 1300kg. Imma go test it now see how i like it.

 

[Airrider]

Unfortunately, the competition is already half-over. If you'd like to join in for December, go right ahead, but for now if you'd just like to play along, go right ahead.

 

[CtrlAltDelete]

Wow, that 200 kg 'sub' in the rear was pretty rough without sports tires, but I somehow managed to get a time I felt comfortable with. =) Was interesting to say the least, and I can't wait for the next challenge.

 

[lebes14]

I figured that was the case. I'll just wait until December and try and find the perfect car.

 

[Airrider]

Alright, I'm waiting on JWalker and sixmo.

For now, though, time to announce the next challenge.


You can remove the weight from your cars, but they will now be pushed to the max in another way: your cars will now go to the Eiger Nordwand Short Track, Forward in order to set the highest Full Lap Drift score. If some ballast rebalancing helps, though, go right ahead.

EDIT: Got your time, JWalker.

EDIT 2: sixmo, I have your time as well.

 

[VTiRoj]

Looks like I'll have to get my ricer drift style on.

 

[Off the Bit]

I've sent my score in. I'm not a natural drifter as my previous drifting scores may have told you. So in a front wheel drive car it was never going to go that well.

Anyway! To end this post on a positive note, an advanced happy-Thanksgiving for all the American competitors in this event.
