Hey guys how do I start this? I'm very interested
The combo:
Trouble's come up lately, that's why I'm late.
However, I've picked winners, and it's so hard for me to choose between Off The Bit's suggestions and VTiRoj's suggestions that I'm going to do one of each for the next few months!
The rest of January and all of February will be a celebration of the Budget Car Challenge, but not the way the challenge started: no, it'll be the way we all started as GT5 players.
The 1st Anniversary Season of the BCC is: FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS!
You will all start out as you did when you first received GT5. You will have a budget of 20,000 CR each. Go out and buy a Lv.0 car and whatever parts you can fit into the 20K CR budget and have it ready by next weekend, the days from January 27-29. On the 29th, I will give you your first round.
As usual, maintenance and cosmetic work (except aero kits) are free, so take advantage of that.
At the end of this season I will deliver the second-place winner rules for you all.
Good luck, everyone! Thank you for taking this incredibly cheap journey with me, and here's to another year of credit-crunching competition!
That's right! Sorry guys, I forgot to specify that. Normal transmission rules and aid rules apply: manual tranny only, and your only aid is having a Traction Control of 1, if you think you need it. I would think that most BCC offerings won't need it, but you never know: some cars can be really nasty without an electronic nanny.
And ABS up to 5
Now it's time to finally begin this.
Your first round will be from tonight to next Monday.
You will go to the Autumn Ring Mini Forward, one of the tracks first played on in the GT Life competitions, either A-Spec or B-Spec. Go there and post a lap.
It's almost felt too long since I last wished you all this: good luck, and good driving!
To put it short , pick a lvl0 car from UCD for less than 20,000 Cr.
Overhaul the engine , refresh chassis and paint , fit rims and paint them too.
Now , what ever cash / Cr. there was left after purchasing the car you can and should spend on upgrades.
Grippier tyres would be nice and after that wing and performance upgrades (more power / less weight)
And after that flywheel , clutch ect.
Write down exact car name , prize , (mileage) and parts installed.
After you have your car ready you go to Arcade mode or GT Life/Mode to do freerun laps around Autumn Ring Mini Forward.
Then once you've reached your and car's limit you take a photo of the screen which was first loaded before going on track / after exiting track. (the one that lists your lap times)
If that list is alredy full of faster times you'll need to clear it up.
Then transfer photo to computer.
After this , send an email to one of the 2 addresses stated in opening post.

The post title should (preferred) somehow refer to the BCC in title.
And in the body of the message you should list your exact car name , cost and parts installed.
And your GTP username. + the picture of your time as attachment.

I used
Famine's
GT5 Complete Car Database to determine car levels for those I alredy have in garage to save time from checking/refreshing the UCD.
And , based on car mileage I was able to count what they cost when I bought them from UCD.
Here is a list of car value ranges for cars found at UCD created by
CLIBBY34
A car's UCD value is directly proportional to it's price 'as new' (ie. what it would cost at 0 miles) and it's mileage.
UCD cost = "Price as New" - ( Mileage x 'Price as New' / 200,000 )
If the mileage is over 300,000, subtract 300,000. PD cheated the system here a bit lol. Cars do not appear to exist with mileage between 100k and 300k.... So yes, this means a car with a mileage of 300,001 would cost the same as the same car with a milage of 1.
Works for every car in the UCD... You can find the "As New" prices
here.
I have collected over 2500 UCD cars , mostly low mileage and high mileage cars.
Low mileage cars for drag racing , high mileage for PP race / budget car challenges.
