Harvey Wallbanger's Quest for the Holy Grail

[Onboy123]

I'm not the slowest…? I'M NOT DA SLOWEST! And where's the tune, I'm building myself a silver chrome one.

From the mind of a ten year old​

When me daughter arived home, I told her about the quest, and her first thoughts were "can a girl be a knight?"...

So off she set.

First lap "this car is awful"
Second lap "...." (nothing. this is good, it means she is focused)
Third lap "arrrggg"
Fourth lap "oh come on!!!"
Fifth lap "Just a little more"
Sixth lap "I'm done for now..."

final time - 1:40.134

Not as good as "Fruit Punch" (she said, not me [also R3 tires, and less pp] ), but she thinks the time is doable.

Trying again tommarow 👍

Tune is posted and links have been placed including one in the OP here.👍👍

@krenkme the Mid RPM Turbo provides a little more HP and a lot more torque. Admittedly this makes the car a bit more difficult to handle especially on Sports Soft tires. However, the rewards for mastering the car and track make the extra effort required when driving it all the sweeter.

I look forward to confering knighthood on your daughter, allthough as the Clueless Tunes princess she is already a Lady.

Little car, why you no turn?!

EDIT: what a post for 800

 

[Onboy123]

Little car, why you no turn?!

Because no grip.

Alright, I'm knackered from a two hour session of running around chasing balls, but I'm having a crack a finding those extra points of a second now I know how to drive it.

 

[DigitalBaka]

Starting to see the line but I'm too tired to keep up. I've flipped and spun so much I'm dizzy. I'll pick up again tomorrow.

 

[CyKosis1973]

I'll have a gander at this, when I find a bit of spare time. Love the track, not so keen on the (in-game) car. We'll see what it drives like

Some tips I found this car needs when being driven;
Short shift is important for best acceleration, DONT let this car run to the redline.
I find being in a higher gear than recomended for the corner is faster than trying to balance the wheelspin in a lower gear.
Aviod curbs this thing likes to get on 2 wheels.

 

[XDesperado67]

For those of you who have already successfully completed this first challenge send me a PM with the tradeable premium car you want and I'll start sending them out in the order I receive them.👍👍

Also as a bit of added incentive, if someone can get their time under 1:35.000 they will will be elevated to the status of Champion of the Mountain and will get to select the track, tires and target time for a future challenge in this quest.

I've noticed all of the above as well. HP and torque peak at 5400 and drop off a cliff afterward. I think the time I am short on this challenge will be found in my shifting. I drop half seconds in every sector and then toss it over a curb at the end and float on the sidewalls for half a mile.

 

[racer39658]

I'm almost afraid to even try this because I'll find out for sure how much slower I am than everyone else... but dangit, a knighthood would be sweet!

 

[XDesperado67]

Congratulations to Sir ACSR421 recently knighted Die Ritter der Kokosnuß Order of the Mountain.

 

[Onboy123]

Eh?? I'm faster than ACSR? That can't be right……

And in other news, Little Banana, Y U NO COOPERATE? I WANT TURN, U NO TURN, I WANT GRIP, U NO GRIP.

Challenge accepted. Tomorrow I shall conquer the Mountain by Trial of something. I really dislike Trial Mountain BUT I shall give it my best shot.

All you Coconuts are going DOWN like well..ripe coconuts.

She's getting closer. 1:39.7xx, and a frustrated 10 year old.

I've managed to beat the time once!
Of course after beating it I realized that my lap time rankings was filled up with faster times from "Donnybrook" and the "Purple People Eater".

She shouldn't feel bad, the car and target time are not the easiest combination. I'm sure she'll get it with a little more time.

 

[ugabugaz]

Mid 37's after a few laps...Friggin coconut. More laps later.

If it makes her feel better I'm still half a second off myself. This car is just counter to everything I know about....well, anything.

Post a photo of your lap time and I'll knight you.👍👍

The 1:35.000 time is a special bonus time for the hardcore drivers that want to set up a future challenge using this tune.

Krenkme and his princess get to set up the next challenge as this is the "Clueless Outlaw Trophy Car", but after that challenges on the quest for the "Holy Grail" of perfect laps will be chosen by Champions of earlier challenges.

Nah already down to 36.5's..I wanna see how far I can get the coconut to go.

But....but....but........IT NO TURRRRRRNNNNNNN!!! Kids thought I was crazy driving the shiny car and restarting all the time...

Reverse that, and think how funny that is (my 10 year old is getting so frustrated at this car)

Moving backwards tonight (1:40.231)

'Night everybody.

There's your problem!
You don't want to restart with this car because you lose all the tire heat.
It takes like 3-4 laps for the tires to be fully warmed up and ready to go.

 

[comandorando87]

thus far my best is a 1:39.4 and a very nearly smashed controller/tv

The car is strangely addictive. I've found myself totally frustrated and ready to destroy things in real life, but still going back for just one more lap that turns into 5 more that turns into running until I need to change the oil.

The car is hectic, dangerous, annoying and infuriating, yet I still find myself wanting to jump in it and run yet more laps in search of that magical one where I'll get it all right.

I just do burnouts and donuts until the tyres are in the white zone. Not as effective, a lot more fun.

 

[racer39658]

Bah! I had a mid 1:38 run going and lost it in the last "S" turn. Of course the 5 laps after that were all horrible. Time for a break. (I've broken the 1:40, but just barely, and I know I can cut 2 seconds off that if I can keep from screwing up)

 

[DigitalBaka]

I keep clipping corners too far in T1 and red flagging the lap. And I haven't decided between a high line going faster or sticking tighter in the big left hander. Neither has seemed better yet.

Gonna take a break and give Dragon's car a drive tonight in the TT.

 

[comandorando87]

well i've managed to whittle my time down to a 1:38.640, when this doesn't happen...

 

[DigitalBaka]

^ I know, right?! Feel like a ballerina with all the spinning I've been doing.
