Clean Run Challenge #4 Ferrari 512BB at High Speed Ring
First Race in the 550pp Supercar Nostalgia Challenge
Specs: 1976 Ferrari 512BB on Comfort Soft Tires.
Added parts:Sports Intake Manifold, Sports Air Filter, Sports Exhaust
Manifold, Sports Catalytic Converter ONLY
A new premium 76 came to 391 hp 1400 kg 496pp w/ initial oil change. This will go up of course. Feel free to break in your car.
Now it's time to let loose with some high speed drafting excitement. Comfort Softs will make those banked turns a little tougher to manage. This will likely be a race for 3rd or 4th unless you find a shortcut or have alien powers. I didn't want to make permanent mods a requirement and to stay within some likely period mods. The aftermarket mufflers took away from the nice stock sound as well.
Save your credits as the next Nostalgia Supercar Clean Run Challenge will use the 1967 Lamborghini Miura. Or borrow mine if you don't have one.
THE GOAL:
Your fastest Total Race Time. The Race Events are basically Time Trials with moving obstacles (AI). Most are only 5 laps so think of it as a longer Time Trial but with other cars on track. Most races will only last 7-10 minutes. Winning the race is not the end goal-it's the Total Race Time like the latest GT5 Seasonal Overtake Challenges.
THE RULES:
1. No Driving Aids. Since SRF is forced on, there's more than enough car control available. No TCS, ABS, ASM, Active Steering. Driving Line and Transmission Choice are optional. For inexperienced ABS OFF drivers check out this great guide:https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showth...uide+TO+no+abs
2. Tuning Prohibited. No added parts, ballast, weight or engine stages. We may add power if a car is too slow for a decent run but that will be very specific. Brake Balance is all that can be adjusted.
3. Tires. Once more because of SRF we'll be using 1 grade lower than the AI this time.
4. Track Rules: Only fully clean runs. 2 wheels on track at all times. Rumble Strips are part of the track. The white line is the boundary otherwise. No wall contact. No initiated AI contact. This is what will make this a REAL challenge! Avoiding other cars may be the hardest aspect. Approach the driving like it's a real life track day and you have no Auto Insurance!
Note: To be clear on what constitutes a "clean" pass, we will use this rule from the GTP OLR:
You must establish substantial overlap with the car ahead before they reach the corner’s turn-in point to have the right to drive up their inside, or to expect them to leave inside room for you. At least the front of your car should be up to the driver’s position in the ahead car. The ahead driver has the right to be fully committed to the racing line of their choice without any interference if there was no substantial overlap before he turned in.
So if you've made a clean pass according to this rule and the AI initiates contact, that is acceptable.
In some instances a pass may be accomplished by going inside the AI if they've left sufficient room. As long as you don't initiate contact, it's clean. Just use your best judgement, this is supposed to be fun!
5. 10 Maximum Clean Runs. Restarts or dirty Runs do not count toward the total. Winning the race is not necessary for a submission.
