I'll be getting some practice in the 908 when I get home from work. Going to be a bit on the rusty side following my Super GT title.

Until someone vetos it, I've opened it up to everything, but you must use at least two different types, to increase the strategy aspect.

So it turns out my car has, uhh.. *a* relationship with the curb at turn 5..
It most definitely will roll.
If you see some Gran Turismo 1 shenanigans going on, it's just me pretending to be a motorcycle and saving tyres. Man, I hope I get to overtake someone while on my side
I have managed to shave off a few seconds by means of dropping the flat floor and get more power instead. Not quite into the 26s, but I can feel some pretty good battles emerging in 500 already.

Here's my ride:
Cobbled together a super soft, relatively high downforce setup and did a 1:14.1 on RMs.

Will run setup tests tomorrow as soon as I can. I've seemed to notice the car doesn't hit 500PP, may we run under?
Also what tyres are people testing their cars on?

You can run the car at 1 PP if you want to, but I doubt you'd be looking at more than one lap completed by the end. 500 is just the upper limit.

May want to change my car name to the MG TF160.

I'm very stuck on the car choice. My Lotus Europa's choice is provisional. My final decision will come before August 26th.

Haven't had time recently to do much in GT6, but I'll start practicing with the Deltawing after I'm testing for another endurance race I'll be hosting later this year.

That was.. interesting. So many people who essentially did whatever they felt like, most of which brought either four wheel drive or an otherwise known overpowered vehicle, tuned them to the max - and consistently hit the walls
Still, managed a 27 on softs. Not sure I can pull much more out of the car though. If I at least can get the run out of corners, there won't be much you guys can do about it

Well, I tested the Corvette and only managed to get 1'25.753, around 0.5 behind @epic_apri_39 .

Still praising my work schedule can let me race...
I checked the entry list for the race, 3 in 600 PP Class, I'm in the Deltawing Vs. 2 other GT3s.

If you don't mind me asking, is it really possible to enter a Standard-quality car which, for all effects and purposes, can't have a number added to it as an option? I see a couple of drivers doing such, that's why I'm asking...

I think so. Your number would still be recorded in the entry list even if you can't put a number plate on a standard.

That's what's been bothering me. On one hand, what you say could fit a possible choice within the regulations, but on the other said regulations state that the car "must be equipped with a racing number that, as close as possible, represents the number you've signed up with"... You can escape that issue with most Standard race cars, but the same can't be said about production cars.

..I may have forgotten to remove that part.
Standard cars are welcome, as are numbers so big you can't actually put them on the cars, as long as any number you might have on it is as close to it as possible. Say you want to race with 68468426484244879913143 as your number, if you're in a premium car, just put your number as 68. If you're in a standard car, pretend the number is on your car.

Ok, so the Harvard Numerical Convention is allowed for this race, someone should totally enter their car with the Pi number to take advantage of that...
Joke aside, fair enough, and thanks for clarifying. Either way, I think I have finally settled on a choice for this. After tinkering with Copens, Skylines and even Pontiac Vibes (yes, really), my quest came to a close with something that not many have remembered to use here. What sort of thing, you ask? Well, bring the drum roll please;
Well, it fits the bills; it is a production car (albeit not a particularly successful one), it can have a numberplate (even though Morten already busted that "myth"), and its PP rating is a picture-perfect 500. And while many's idea was to either opt for a YOLO high power setup or just trust ye ol'4WD systems, my little bike engine-powered tub only has an oil change and MR traction to back it up.
And a few tweaks to the gearbox, suspension and LSD, of course.
All I need to do is avoid getting too much air time (this car loses all sense of grip once it gets back down to Earth, let me tell ya) and I should be a decent contender to a podium finisher...So, does this fit, Morten?
