Mistakes happen. 
š
Especially when we're dealing with all this high-tech stuff they keep churning out like candy.
Nothing to worry about - keep working on those challenges - and as I said, if necessary get together with Noel and create a Challenge thread with a set of rules you can enforce.
We need this sort of activity in here. Why?
Because GT6 went offline and left a whole slew of their fan base homeless.
Where once there was the opportunity to meet online regularly, there is now a gaping black hole. Drifters are running around screaming. Lobby hosts are pounding their head against walls. Club hosts and various leagues are left homeless. And . . . the folk that crowded the Seasonal Events Forum suddenly found the waterhole dried up.
The Seasonal Events Forum was a hub of activity for a huge fan base - even after GTS started up. (I'm sure some players still play both games.) The Seasonal Events - with great and efficient output and management of threads by the indefatigable @nowcontrol - brought many players together; swapping info, tunes, and many times challenging each other in the threads. There were even individual threads for focused or complicated challenges.
All this, of a sudden, dried up.
I requested Jordan move this thread from the Seasonals Sub Forum to the Main GT6 Board in anticipation of the close-down, and he kindly complied - the Seasonals went offline shortly after.
This now leaves us the GT6 Forum as the hub of activity where GT6 and the GTPlanet fan base is concerned - and while the other Subforums like Photography and Tuning will continue to be active, actual driving and racing play has no playground.
This is where these challenge events that some members are so eager to share come into focus.
In effect - you all are now creating your own 'Seasonals'.
Leaving alone what I have done over the course of almost 4 years here in this thread (having engineered and overseen well over a hundred events) I can see from @bjl23's Challenge threads - both A-Spec and B-Spec - there is activity that can be generated, there are players willing to join the fun and unabashedly throw their leader boards in (without waiting for an alien time) and there seems to be no lack of ideas when the GTPlanet GT6 community is given the chance to design their own 'Seasonal' events - right here.
I will continue to maintain the GT6 'My Home' AI Hub (where we basically explore the game inside out and top-to-bottom - as @Baron Blitz Red once explained to someone who asked what we do at the HUB: "We play a game within a game in the game we play in here.")
There is no better way to describe the HUB's unique style of rules, traditions, levelling, trophies, and event-types.
This shouldn't deter those players out there that have a 'challenge' and would like to confront the community with it. I'd rather see this Forum filled with challenge threads than a flood of threads from a single player about this or that. Easter eggs, probably.
Cheers, Hunters, participants, competitors, spectators. . . .
Harry.

I'll be updating the OP in full on Sunday; send in your leader boards this weekend if you have any - unless you're hiding an MTM card (though it might be a little too early to play that game. 
)
Great screenshots of the Stratos Trophy event; it brings back many memories, doesn't it?
It's also time to accommodate our GT6 Drifting fans so look forward to some drifting events soon - and more TTs to make up for the loss of the Seasonals.
This is such an intriguing challenge. So we are to take it that the Celica is the best 'evil twin'?

While I was pondering what to present to the Licenced GTHunters this round as a Vic Reign Rights Event I happened to notice that a Mustang was thrashing Chamonix on the GT6 demo on my screen.
What a beautiful sight!
Obviously the only way to really enjoy this race was to take a brand-new Mustang out, absolute virgin car, and thrash Chamonix.
What a great drive!
I knew I had to share this experience right away with my Hunter buddies - and I know you guys well enough to know that you'll strictly follow the specs I outlined to have that same experience.
Even silent, it's an enjoyable ride - I had the sound down myself, racing very late at night to prepare the OP for the round.
And a very addictive race.
In the end - even stock, the AI fields are no match for this snow stallion - just leaving them in the dust as it takes a powder.
Obviously, only eligible entries will make the OP, but I think every GT6 player should personally enjoy this drive. The challenge only makes it more exciting.

My picture was taken in 1988 after 21 years racing then with contract with Porsche. Porsche 944 Turbo used in Endurance Racing in the SCCA from 1988 to 2000. I can post baby picture behind the wheel of a race car in my crib

Can't see the picture, this that for doppelganger?, if so the car you use needs to be the same as the car in last position

I can't understand that part: actually the Non-Vic Reign Rights Events are available to every member of this Forum except the Licenced GTHunters.
So it's a great chance for 3 different people to grab titles - since a win (even if you win all 3) entitles you to only one title.
Let's say only one person enters all 3 race and (demonstrating that GT6 is really dead) no one else enters. Then that driver gets to pick one of the titles, the others are DQs.
So it would be wise for any member without a single title - or with 2 or less (and we have quite a few like that even on the Trophy Board - @pretend racer, @RacingHardTV, @John 3 16, @croozer_63, and @Vegard) are all eligible to jump in at anytime.
I'm hoping for some MTM Cardplay at the end . . .
. . . but will see.Right now I'm seeing only one entry - but I'm hoping for more by the close of submissions.
If not a lucky non-licenced GTHunter is going to have a choice of titles to pick from.
I think what puts most members off from entering is that they may be unsure of the rules.
But both smoothbore12 and lfm58 have proved that you can jump right in here and - if you have the skills - gain titles in next to no time.
Which will then take them deeper into the game we play.
Just like how smoothbore12 is having fun now with his snow stallion.
And lfm58 is preening that Corvette. . . .

@skeagracing , the Toyota 1600GT is max tune ( sometnig under 500 pp i think)
and also use the Nos - 50%- as everyone does.
Driver aids is TC 1
SRF on
ABS 1
This are my usually set up , sometimes i give ABS up to 3 when i want to just roll in turn without locking the wheels ( depend on the car , happy tail mostly) .
In this one first time try the Toyota was about 49 to 51 , i try and the Alfa ( since didn' t find the toyota ,reset more than 10 times ) and yesterday i find the Toyota.
I play it 5 times and was on 2.35 to 2.36 with the 6 AI be on 57 s and one time was on 59 like you see in the pic.
Sometimes i use steering sensivity like Nascar up to 7 and active steering to strong as i use with the 2j in monaco.
I wish i had the space to use my old logitech wheel but i can't .
PS
I enjoy a lot the Snow stallion and the doppelganger ( when i can find the right field
) and try hard for the C7 with an @lfm58 suspension tune ,but damn Molinary is to quick for me and sometimes totaly unrechable.

Yeah I did the missions before on my old ps3, can't be bothered doing them again.@bjl23 you are in the momentum
Try it more times ,sometimes is slower like mine from 57 reach the 59 in same time.
From what i see your missions is empty ( cause your ps3 failure probably) mine is cause i never play them as goodwood ,sierra and lot of others.
