I will always have my right hand lol, (T.T)
Happy valentines day to all the lonely drivers in LotS
Ohh god. That is so funny. Still, being alone isn't that bad. You don't need to buy gifts. It's like a Forever Alone/ **** yeah thing.
Next week, my parents is arriving, I'll like to postpone the Balancing Challenge as I really want to take part in that, so I'm gonna be open for suggestions for the next set of events.
Post your ideas and I'll pick one from your suggestions!
My idea has been PM'd to you 👍

Heres my idea for a side challenge that i've been thinking would be good fun for a while but not told anyone about it.
Initial D Recreation season
The Idea for this would be each player would register their name but have their car chosen at random. The cars used would be from the teams seen in Initial D anime.
There is 36 cars that could be used according to the Initial D wiki With some exceptions as certain model variations arn't available in the game, three I can think of now are:
Itsuki Takeuchi and his AE85 The AE86 Levin would have to used to replace this I guess
Atsuro Kawai and his Skyline GT-T 2.5 Turbo(ER34) The Skyline GTS25 Type S (R32) '91 could be used as a replacement or any rear wheel drive R32
Shinji Inui and his Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-APEX Coupe The AE86 Trueno would have to be used
If you spot more please tell me so I can fix it.
On average there has been 39.5 unique players from all 4 core seasons, but not everyone who registers actualy joins to battle, but side seasons generaly have less players registering, if more people register than the number of cars available I guess they will have to use duplicates or we could have a cut off date for registrations once 36 players is reached.
The way each player is given their car is once they register they are asigned a random number between 1 and 36 using a random number generator like the one here.
Here is the list of cars with their asinged numbers.

Hopefully I havn't missed out any cars from the wiki, if I have please tell me.
An example would be I register and the number I am randomly given by the generator is 23. I now have to use that car, I can't change cars once I have been given it, I'm stuck with it for the whole season.
I would expect people to try and colour match their car as close as possible to the anime counterpart. Wheels obviously wont be exactly the same. I would also expect people to tune their cars as close as possible to the anime counterpart, but as there is no way to check or enforce what parts people use there's nothing stoping you from putting a turbo on Takumi's AE86 for example as long as it comes under the max PP limit.
The usual LotS regulations would apply:
Sports Hard tyres only
95-100% power limiter use
5% of total car weight can be used as ballast
No Fully customizable transmission
The only thing different would be a max performance points of 480PP this is to try and allow cars like the cappuccino and other low power cars to have a better chance at competing. I havn't checked if all cars fall under 480pp at stock specs but I think they all do. All cars/drivers would be one class, no class A, B or C etc.
Let me know what you think of it, evan if you hate the idea still let me know. Some things might have to be changed to get it to work right as this is still just an idea, nothing as been tested to see if this would work as planed.
Sorry for the big post, and I don't mind if this isn't what you had in mind to replace the PP ballance testing, but I hope its something you may consider for a future side season.
Thanks Timber added them to the list.Missing car:
Kai Kogashiwa - Toyota MR-S S-Edition (ZZW30) #37
Miki (From Stage 3) - Celica GT-Four (ST205)
Thanks glad you like it, yeah I understand not everone may have the car needed as its chose at random, but I'm sure most LotS players wouldn't mind gifting a car to whoever needs it if they happen to have it, i've got about 1000 cars so im sure I got some spares I could send to whoever needed one if this does happen.This my friend sounds like a great idea. 👍👍👍👍
Only problem might be that the player which gets a random number picked will not have the car if its a used car.
But i think this should not be that big of an issue.
Great idea!!!!!!
Cool idea, Maccer, I would join it for sure.
But, change the car from
Takumi Fujiwara - Anime Stage 4 Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-APEX (AE86) #2
to the SS version, because of the carbon hood.

You can also seperate the list to downhill / uphill classes.
LouE5When are you guys thinking of doing this Initial D challenge?
Awesome, glad you decided to use my idea. I'll try and check as many of the higher PP cars tomorrow to make sure the come under 480PP in stock form. The only ones i'm worried might be above that is the RX-7 FD3S's and the GT-R R32/4's but im pretty sure they're all about 460-470pp.
I'm not sure if there is a way to set it up so when a player registers they get their number assigned automatically without it giving out the same number twice, or if it will have to be done one by one as each player registers to make sure that doesn't happen. I've never made one of them google docs form you use for the normal registraition. If you want or need any help timber PM me and i'll try my best.
Oh and if you feel anything needs to be changed or added in order to make this work feel free to do so, and tomorrow I will edit my list to include the year and colour for each car to save time so people don't have to check the Initial D wiki once they register to find the exact car/colour combo they will need to use.
