Good Sunday Morning Racers!
I had a chance to take some photos and do some maths!
This was quite the event, and with the testing that we have completed, we have found out the Best Car from 2013 (or 2012) available in GT6.
Some of the cars became quick front runners, the KTM X-bow that @
Naterules1990 and @
GT_Racer22 brought, moderately well priced for a track day beast, great on fuel consumption, but the repeated break downs of @
GT_Racer22 took it out of the running for reliability issues. The same with the Shelby GT500. Personally, I love the car, and it's a crazy good value, even gets good gas milage if driven right, as shown by @
BustedFoSho . But, the race ending mechanical break down that @
Latenight Rider had also makes the car seem a little unreliable. Tipping the price scale at just about $95,000, the GTR Black piloted by @
BionicDerp may not seem like such a great value, but I promise you, I have driven one of those and I can tell you, you cannot by more car for the money. It performed well and managed to finish all the events, and when I say finish, I mean absolutely destroy it's competition in the Eco Test. Hopefully it's high price does not take it out of the running! Speaking of high price, that's one thing the Focus ST does not have! It does not have speed, great handling, a good driver ( @
jay*doc ), or a popular color for 2013 either, I don't think it's going to do well in the points running. And finally, at a whopping $123,000, we have the Viper GTS's driven by @
Ph1sher and @
RacingOtaku86 . The only thing these 2 cars shared though is the price, and great drivers, but it was a tale of 2 cities when we look at the performance. Phishers car performed very well, setting the highest speed for the night, and the fastest lap at Laguna Seca, looking good for the final points! RacinOtaku's car was giving him trouble, didn't cooperate at Laguna Seca, and blew the motor up just over 200MPH on the test track, taking him out of the event.
Here are a few photos from our challenges:
The Stowe Circuit: 15 Lap Race
Mazda Laguna Seca: Hot Lap Challenge
Special Stage Route X: Top Speed Challenge
Circuit de laSarthe: Eco Challenge
The car color and price were also factored in based on the average price of a vehicle sold in 2013, and the most popular car colors.
And now for the results:
Some say, that on weekends he drives slow in front of caravaners to practice his Eco Driving techniques, and if you were to try and shoot him with a water gun, the water would freeze before it hit him.
All we know, is he's the Bionic Derp!
