Nice combo, Ron. 👍👍
I'll see what I can come up with, but it'll be a bit later in the week I'm afraid.

 

[Quiksilver_GT]

looks like a fun short combo nice one Mr.P,👍 WRS is taking alot of my time up setting the car up at the moment but ill be sure to get a race in at some point.

QUIK!

 

[Mr P]

Good to hear guys! ... I'm sure you will like it


I was beginning to think I had launched a lead balloon ... Will get a clean save updated to the board tonight also 👍

Not a lead balloon, just lots of other interesting racing going on as well, but I will be sure and get one in on this. 👍 Just been keeping busy with Erik's ATR along with WRS.

Hope I can put something up this weekend.

Division 3 reporting in here.

I have a category 2 as well, with AI side touches in the hairpin before the back straight on both laps 1 and 2.

1:08.682
1:03.205
1:03.009

3:14.896

It was fun, hard to get used to the Super Stickies with low power after all these rally cars and MR's though.

My competition, in and I think this varies, as the A spec score changed when I reset to go run some time trial to get used to the tires -

Beetle Cup Car (Beat me by a second or so)
Mitsu Pajero Raid Car '85
Mitsu Lancer 1600 GSR Rally Car (70's Car)
Nissan mmr-Cup Car '01
Gathers Dreider Civic '98

I will try for a cat 1 this weekend.

I like this combo, Ron. I'm still getting use to the great braking this car/tires combo has. Its going to be a lot different than arora's combo (wet Tsukuba) for sure.

Catagory 1 no contact

lap 1 - 1'08.542
lap 2 - 1'05.266
lap 3 - 1'02.455


total - 3'16.263

This is my second fastest time overall, but I ran off the track on the quickest.
Will be back with Cat 2 time.

I got a laptime for this fun challenge, the laptimes will follow soon.

3"15.471

It's got AI contact in it but otherwise it's clean.

Funny 'cos now I got 3 challenges at Tsukuba: Ron's, Erik's and the Japanese tuner one I'd like to go and see where I stand on one of my favorite test tracks.

I have to subscribe to this thread. This is the car I first won my division in. Cracker box from hell. Or is it heaven?

 

[01GTP]

I have found it better to start the race with the Pajero a couple cars ahead instead of just before you. At first I thought it would be a good vehicle to draft with, but it gets in the way too much.

Catagory 2 lap

1'08.921
1'04.160
1'02.828

3'15.909

This lap time will certainly get shorter in the coming days.

 

[Mr P]

Sorry it took so long to update guys! been pretty busy ... everything up to date in here now 👍

Nice work with the first CAT1 submission Kenny

Lap 1 - 1'08.689

CAT 2

Found some time to run this. Very addicting combo.

 

[Austin343]

I'm no good at FFs, but this is fun to banzai into the corners with the sticky tires. Got a good bit to improve, obviously.

Category 2
Lap 1 - 1:08.621
Lap 2 - 1:02.891
Lap 3 - 1:02.431
Total - 3:13.943

 

[Mr P]

I get here in the end I guess

Updated ... Great times guys! 👍

 

[Duke]

This looks like a damn lot of fun. I'll have to give it a shot when I get the chance (hopefully soon!). I wish there was more venue for the various little pocket racers in GT mode.
