This is a thread series for the seasonal time trials that focuses on completing the challenges (i.e. beating the gold target times) with stock versions of the cars. This means that instead of maximizing your PP with upgrades and focusing on getting the fastest laps on the in-game leaderboard, you are attempting to complete the challenges with the bare minimum amount of 'car' and money-spent as is possible.

With the new more open ended format means that part of the challenge will be finding a stock car that has the lowest PP or lowest price depending on your view. It is also difficult to predict which types of tires a car will come with before purchasing.

Warning: Some of these challenges are getting to be extreme and should be approached with caution! :banghead:


In order to participate your car must be stock.

1) A stock car is essentially any car as it is when purchased from the dealership or won as a prize: it will have had no modifications, added parts, or adjustments done that affect how the car performs.
2) No oil changes are permitted: if you have had an oil change you must wait until the effects of the HP boost have been removed by driving over 300 km.
3) You must use the original tire type that came with the car, unless dirt or snow tires are required.
4) No changes to any “Car Settings” are permitted: they must ALL be left at their default values. [Note: cars that come with Fully Customizable Suspension that were purchased or won prior to patch 1.11 must have the suspension settings restored to default in order to be updated with the new stock suspension settings.]
5) No SRF or ASM is permitted: other “Driver Assists” are permitted.


Basically, the ONLY changes you may make to a car include: painting the car and changing a car’s racing number. Any other changes means your car is not stock.

Last time the records were:

450PP E at Eiger Norwand Short Track:
356PP - Honda CR-Z alpha '10 - total time = 4:56.111 - Antmeg26 (4:57.508 - StirlingMoose)

550PP Muscle at Big Willow:
408PP - Plymouth XNR Ghia Roadster '60 - total time = 8:28.207 - StirlingMoose

500PP Dirt at Toscana:
524PP - Lancia Delta HF Integrale Rally Car '92 - total time = 6:17.567 - StirlingMoose


My results so far with a wheel and an automatic transmission:

450PP E at Eiger Norwand Short Track:
356PP
- 1:27.220 - 4:55.525 - Honda CR-Z alpha '10 - CM - FF - 122hp - 1130kg - PRIUS G ’09 - 4:58.479

550PP Muscle at Big Willow:
408PP
- 1:34.512 - 8:29.654 - Plymouth XNR Ghia Roadster '60 - SH - FR - 250hp - 1500kg - Special - 8:30.352

500PP Dirt at Toscana:
469PP
- 1:52.705 - 6:24.828 - Lancia Delta HF Integrale Rally Car '92 - D - 4WD - 295hp - 1120kg - Lancer Evolution Super Rally Car - 6:26.647

I might have been lucky with the lineups because I managed to gold the Electric and Muscle races on my first tries. Only took me two tries to win gold in the Dirt race.
 
Likewise first try at the Electric and Muscle, two goes at Toscana.

450PP E at Eiger Norwand Short Track:
334PP
- ??? - 5:08.816 - Nissan Leaf G '11 - CM - FF - 107hp - 1520kg - PRIUS G ’09 - 5:09.381

I love the Leaf. It has the most wonderful lift-off oversteer. Perfect for this track.

550PP Muscle at Big Willow:
408PP
- ??? - 8:40.554 - Plymouth XNR Ghia Roadster '60 - SH - FR - 250hp - 1500kg - Special - 8:40.577

Went off into the dirt three times hence the slow time, but still managed the win.

500PP Dirt at Toscana:
469PP
- ??? - 6:17.604 - Lancia Delta HF Integrale Rally Car '92 - D - 4WD - 295hp - 1120kg - Quattro S1 Rally '86 - 6:19.219

332 PP on CM tires. Second try. Pretty easy and clean race action. Honda Power.
 
450PP E at Eiger Norwand Short Track:
328PP
- ??? - 5:08.217 - Honda Insight LS '09 - CM - FF - 96hp - 1200kg - PRIUS G ’09 - 5:08.730

Didn't feel as fast as the Leaf, but it was. Not as much fun though.
 
Bet it can be done with a beer in one hand the whole time. :lol:

I don't like automatics, but the CVD transmissions appeal to me. Keep the engine at peak power all the time? Makes sense to me. Maybe not if it has enough horsepower to peel out tires, but that's not a problem with 96 Honda Powers.
 
Well, I installed tyres for gravel on stock street model with competitive results (PAD, AT, ABS1):

500PP Dirt at Toscana:
432PP
- 1:53.078 - 6.25.858 - Ford RS200 '84 - D - 4WD - 246hp - 180kg - Lancia DELTA S4 Rally Car '85 - 6.26.630
449PP - 1:52.219 - 6:20.814 - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX GSR '05 - D - 4WD - 276hp - 1410kg - Audi Sport Quattro S1 Rally Car '96 - 6.22.610
456PP - 1.52.277 - 6:20.779 - Subaru IMPREZA Coupe 22B-STi Version '98 - D - 4WD - 276hp - 1270kg - Audi Sport Quattro S1 Rally '86 - 6:22.144

Since i'm late to the party, the choice of cars was made much easier by you guys :lol:

Only had three races at Eiger Nordwand, all with the Honda Insight LS '09, first time i won with a 5:08 but clicked the result screen away before i could take a picture so had to try again. Second race was better with a low 5:07, faster than @StirlingMoose and not too far away from @coryclifford, so i had to try once more:

It took nearly as long to find the right field (without Ford GT and/or Cobras) as it took to win this :lol:
Messed up the last lap a bit, but still OK i think :gtpflag:
