Car: Mazda 2 '03 / FF / 112HP / 1080kg / 9.64kg/HP / 139 A-spec


Didn't bother looking at different lineups for this one, so there's probably more points out there for this car. Qualified first for all races, some blocking were required on the last 4 races.


Beginners Hall: FF Challenge Race 2 - Suzuka
Car: Mercedes-Benz A 160 Avantgarde '98(10k special, no oil) / FF / 101HP / 1115kg / 11.04kg/HP / 200 A-spec

Beginners Hall: FF Challenge Race 5 - Twin Ring Motegi

European Hall: British GT Series race 3 - El Capitan
Car: TVR V8S '91(Used, oil changed S2) / FR / 242HP / 1050kg / 4.33kg/HP / 200 A-spec by Tired Tyres

This was against the first PAL field. The TVR350C was the one to beat.

Another completely stock win but my Win ratio is taking a beating!

 

[alhajoth]

After the entries by Vash666 and Smallhorses, this almost feels like cheating :

Endurance races: Infineon World Sports endurance
Car: Nissan R390 GT1 Race Car (Used, no oil, R1 tyres) / MR / 712HP / 1000kg / 1.4kg/HP / 200 A-spec

vs lineup #3
Panoz Esperante
Mazda 787B
Pescarolo Courage
Nissan R89C
Sauber Mercedes C9

Won by 2 laps, the most interesting part of this race was the epic struggle for third between the Sauber and the Nissan.

 

[Smallhorses]

Endurance races: Sarthe 24hr I
Car: Toyota GT-One Race Car (TS020) '99 (Black used, no oil, R1 tyres, downforce F/R : 47/64) / MR / ?HP (700HP on garage screen) / 900kg / ?kg/HP (1.3kg/HP using garage value) / 200 A-spec points!

Must make time over this 3-day weekend for a final update to text file and email it on over to hispeed now that the character limit issue is resolved. 👍

@ Stevisiov90 now had chance to check out the car you used. Please look carefully at the format below (units & all) this is how you should submit in future. Have edited list to include your entry with proper oil changed stats, for this instance, but must insist you submit correctly in future so I don't have to do the donkey work for you.

Car: Nissan Motul Pitwork Z (JGTC) '04 / FR / 478HP (no oil change on selling screen) / 1080kg / 2.3HP/kg

The garage value with no oil change is 485HP.
The garage value after oil change is 509HP, and on the selling screen is 502HP.

Car: Nissan Motul Pitwork Z (JGTC) '04 / FR / 502HP (oil changed) / 1080kg / 2.2HP/kg

*edit* Another one for me.
Professional Hall: Turbo race 5 - Midfield
Car: Mazda Mazdaspeed 6 '05 (oil changed) / -- (4WD?) / ?HP (286HP on garage screen) / 1500kg / ?kg/HP (5.2kg/HP using garage value) / 200 A-spec points!

vs. in starting order Toyota Supra RZ '97, Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione '91, Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 (J) '98, Mitsubishi Eclipse GT '95, Nissan Skyline GT-R V-spec II Nur '02

Very much helped by the fact that the leading Lancia runs wide into the sand on the last lap in the bend after the tunnel, colliding with the 2nd placed 3000GT as he regains the track, and allowing me to sneak past the Supra, which slows to avoid both of them, into 2nd place. Dive inside the Lancia at the last hairpin after he slows through preceding chicane, and block him & the Supra to the line!

*edit* And another. 👍
Professional Hall: Turbo race 3 - High Speed Ring
Car: Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 Turbo (J) '96 (6.2 mile used, oil changed) / 4WD / 330HP / 1710kg / 5.2kg/HP / 200 A-spec points!

vs. 3rd lineup after reset, stiff competition from 3 x 4WD challengers, a Mitsubishi Evo VIII, Subaru Impreza & Audi S4. Dodge SRT4 and Buick GNX complete the lineup.

Am I too late for the update?

Endurance Race: Fuji 1000 km
Car: Pagani Zonda LM Race Car '01 (R2 front/R1 rear tires) / MR / 661HP(Garage value) / 1150kg / 1.74kg/HP / 200 A-spec


EDIT: I was reading through the thread and noticed this post by Toronado.(Post #286)
Any particular reason it hasn't been included in the list? I figured I'd try this next, as soon as I'm done with the supercar festival..

[mynameissport]

Not a 200 A-Spec point stock race...but still high A-Spec Point race....

Endurance Hall: Super Speedway 150 miles

Car used: Peugeot 905 Race Car '92 (R1/R1 Tyres, 63/88 downforce) / MR / 799HP/ 750kg / 0.9KG/HP / 120 A-spec by MYNAMEISSPORT

Against PAL Lineup 21 after console reset as follows:

Nissan R89C
Audi R8
Peugeot 905
Nissan R92CP
Sauber Mercedes C9

Tuned the suspension, brakes, LSD and transmission but all entirely stock car with max downforce of 63/88. Good car to race with and can win the Super Speedway with no problems if made no mistakes. Will be able to handle two stops with no problems.

Can even score higher A-Spec points if you want to lower the downforce wing, but be careful not to lower it too much or will you lose time and will become impossible to win.

Anyone who wants to try the race with the same car and same lineup with lower downforce for higher A-Spec points then give it a shot or want to try it with the setup I used with the same or lower downforce then let me know.

"Tuning car cup quote....."

There were a few posts by Toronado, and subsequent retractions that took place afterwards, with that car. He'd inadvertently modified bit & pieces of the car making it ineligible for the list here. If you read on past his posts for a few pages, the history becomes apparent.
It's an old matter, long since passed, and the spurious submissions were removed from the list.
There have been no hard feelings toward that member, but neither hispeed nor I are moderators and we cannot remove the original postings to avoid further confusion, just remove them from the Post #1 list.

We do our best to keep the list up to date and more importantly ACCURATE, so that other people don't buy cars or waste time trying to replicate races posted here that aren't actually possible. 👎 It's widely accepted that people make mistakes, and we're happy to acknowledge them, and remove them, but it also serves as an indicator that racers here are on the lookout for spurious postings and claims. The list is probably not perfect, but it's doubtful anyone has the time to go ahead and check every single race. Also remember that just because you can't win the same race doesn't mean it can't be done. Sometimes though it's pretty easy to spot, such as claiming a 200pt win in Sunday Cup in a Ginetta G4, or 200pt win at Sarthe II 24hr in a Subaru 360!

I'd ask that if you find things that don't seem possible, please question it here, or in a PM. We don't want to start flame-fests just because someone made a typo, but at the same time, accuracy is the key to a productive, informative list!!!! 👍

 

[Smallhorses]

Alright! 👍

Post size issue resolved, and time found to make final adjustments to my .txt file, which is wending it's merry way through the email ether to hispeed ready for him to update post #1 with all the very latest submissions, and add the names listed in my post about 10 above this one, to the drivers list too!

Keep the submissions coming!

@ Smallhorses

i have just started my quest for a-spec points and thought a good way to do this is use your (and everyone elses) submissions for stock car races.

i just completed last night the new york 200 miles in a stock opera performance '04 for 200 points using s1. mov of about 1 min 15 sec.

most laps approx 1min 48 sec, best lap 1min 46sec

would most of the other races noted here be suitable for a driver of my calibre or do i need to get a lot better.

thanks in advance for you input to my question. you have really opened my eyes to the world of stock racing and have done a fantastic job.

Professional Hall: Turbo race 5 - Midfield
Car: Nismo 270R '94 / FR / 267HP / 1240kg / 4.64kg/HP / 200 A-spec

Has anyone been able to do this?:
Race of the Red "R" Emblem : Suzuka Circuit
Car: Nissan Skyline HT 2000 RS-X Turbo C '84 (6.2 Mile used, oil changed) / FR / 212HP / 1250kg / 5.9kg/HP / 200 A-spec by Toronado

Seems impossible to me, I ended up doing the race in an '89 GT-R for 161 points with some very dirty driving. Also, the original post (#484) shows the entry to have been:
Race of the Red "R" Emblem : Suzuka Circuit
Nissan Skyline HT 2000 RS-X Turbo C '84 (6.2 Mile Special)/ FR/ R2-R2/ 212BHP/ PWR: 5.896/ 200 A-Spec points!

I assume that means he used R2-tires, which surely aren't allowed for this race?


Found another use for the car :

Thanks alhajoth, well spotted. I'll ensure those inaccurate entries are removed from the list next time round. Please let me know if there are any more errors by him, or anyone else for that matter, that you come across. My interest here is in keeping the list up to date and as accurate as possible.
Just to confirm though, R2 tyres are not permissible on road cars for any submissions, as you suspected.

[chicobo329]

It's well below the other A-Spec points for this race, but I think it might be interesting enough to post considering the car I used to race, everybody uses RUFs :^P Plus it's my first time actually posting here in this thread :^) I'm no expert racer by any means but I'm willing to improve and try and get some good numbers. It's okay if you don't post this though.

Professional Hall: Boxer Spirit Race 1 - Hong Kong
Car: Subaru Impreza Rally Car '99 (oil changed, S2 tires)/ 4WD / 313HP / 1230kg / 3.871kg/HP / 95 A-spec

Not necessary to post here, but my total time for this race was 6'28.561 and I finished 3.436 sec ahead of second place.

The lineup was all Subarus, might as well been a renamed Stars of Pleiades race ;^)

Subaru Impreza Coupe R STi Ver. VI '99

[chicobo329]

Some more Boxer Spirit shenanigans! By the way, I did the order of these races: 1, 3, 2.

Professional Hall: Boxer Spirit Race 3 – Deep Forest Reverse
Car: Subaru Impreza Rally Car '99 (oil changed, S2 tires)/ 4WD / 313HP / 1230kg / 3.871kg/HP / 143 A-spec

Total time was 4’34.189, I finished 0.838 sec ahead of second place

RUF CTR2 ‘96
RUF RGT ‘00
Subaru Impreza Sedan WRX STi Ver. IV ‘97
RUF CTR “Yellow Bird” ‘87
Subaru Impreza Sedan WRX STi Ver. V ‘98

VERY close race. The CTR2 threw me off my line by ramming into my side at the bottom end of the track (the end of the lower straight with the lazy turns under the PD banner) on the final lap. I caught a big break on the final lap where the CTR2 tried to get back on his line inside of me and bumped me while I was on the final turn in the forest. I pulled away after the bump and the CTR2 got dirty, coasting into the grass. The Yellow Bird was caught up in traffic most of the time (not to mention having a few off road moments) and finished much lower than it should’ve been. The turns were crowded for most of the first lap so I had incidental contact with the AI cars though I never used blatant cornering shortcuts using them.

Also had a little luck with the lineup as the Imprezas were placed higher in the starting grid than most of the RUFs, although the Yellow Bird had the pole position.

Professional Hall: Boxer Spirit Race 2 – Infineon Raceway Sports
Car: Subaru Impreza Rally Car '99 (S2 tires)/ 4WD / 301HP / 1230kg / 4.034kg/HP / 128 A-spec

Total time was 5’34.034, I finished 1.196 sec ahead of second place

It looked my Subaru had some HP loss; it was the same for the first two races I did (1 and 3) and it must’ve dipped for this race, after checking the garage screen. After the three Boxer races its mileage is around 178 miles.

RUF 3400S ‘00
RUF CTR2 ‘96
RUF RGT ‘00
Subaru Legacy B4 2.0GT ‘03
Subaru Legacy B4 20.GT specB ‘03

Got lucky here; a Legacy had the pole and so gave the RUFs a hard time for most of the race. Those RUF drivers are real crazy o.o The CTR2 often ran off the road and the RGT and 3400S were really aggressive towards each other and rode each other off corners like nobody’s business!

American Races: Old Muscle Car Competition race 3 - Seattle
Car: Chevrolet Camaro SS '69 / FR / 299HP / 1401kg / 54.7kg/HP / 130 A-spec

vs. the first lineup with a Shelby Cobra

 

[nualum]

Back from about a 6 week break due to moving and other complications, I've managed my first clean stock wins! 👍

Not an original submission sadly, but the only car I'd considered for the series anyway:

European Hall: British GT - All Races
Car: Aston Margin Vanquish / FR / 460HP / 1835kg / 4.0kg/HP / 200 A-spec
New car, ~69 miles on the odometer, no oil change

vs NTSC Lineup 9:
TVR Griffith 500 '94, TVR 350C '03, TVR Cerbera Speed Six '97, Lotus Esprit V8 '02, TVR Tuscan Speed Six '00

Didn't both with qualifying in most of the races, but had to at Fuji (where I lost MAJOR ground to the TVR's on the straight but killed them in the curves), and Midfield (similar story on the straight, but mostly because I had a devil of a time avoiding the other cars in the first set of turns). Probably took me a good dozen or so runs before I managed to win the race AND avoid bashing into anybody.

In an unrelated note, after a great deal of practice I've managed to win the first couple GTWC races in a stock black 787, but they've been FAR from clean. I'm relatively certain none of the walls at Tokyo were hit to my advantage (certainly none intentionally), but boy did I hit a LOT of them .

 

[Duke]

Enduro: New York 200
Car: Stock Opera Performance S2000 '04 (S3 tyres) / FR / 288?HP / 930kg / 3.23 kg/hp / 175 A-spec

Had already performed an oil change. I've got 288 hp in my notes but I don't know where that came from. Car was otherwise completely stock with no settings adjustments at all except to kill the driver's aids.

This was good for a 1':05.xxx" victory over the TVR Cerbera. I ran 4x 19-lap stints on the S3s, with a fast lap of 1':44.892".

 

[mynameissport]

Sorry for the lack of race reports, been busy with work and other commitments. Anyway here are some extra GTWC races done with stock cars

Professional Hall: Gran Turismo World Championship (Races 1-10)

CAR: Mazda 787B (R1 tires, oil changed) / MR / 790HP / 830kg / 0.9 kg/HP / 200 A-Spec points by mynameissport

vs PAL LINEUP 6 AFTER CONSOLE RESET

Minolta Toyota 88C-V Race Car '89
Nissan R89C Race Car '89
Sauber Mercedes C 9 Race Car '89
Jaguar XJR-9 Race Car '88
Mazda 787B Race Car '91

Note: I usually put the downforce to a min 55/77 for most circuits and 50/77 for Le Mans. As well I usually tune the stock suspension, transmission, brakes and LSD for each circuit. As the car has less downforce than usual and no chassis refreshment....I rammed the the TCS a little higher than usual to control the car.

It has been done before but anyway here was my attempt at the GTWC with the AMG Mercedes CLK-GTR car.

Professional Hall: Gran Turismo World Championship (Races 1-10)

Car: Mercedes Benz CLK GTR '98 (Oil change and R2/R1 tyres, 38/53 downforce) / MR / 837HP / 1000kg / 1.2kg/HP / 200 A-Spec points by mynameissport

vs PAL LINEUP 6 AFTER CONSOLE RESET (Group C lineup)

Minolta Toyota 88C-V Race Car '89
Nissan R89C Race Car '89
Sauber Mercedes C 9 Race Car '89
Jaguar XJR-9 Race Car '88
Mazda 787B Race Car '91

Again like the Mazda 787B, I tune the stock suspension, LSD, brakes, transmission and suspension for each circuit. Removed the ASM and kept a couple of clicks of TCS.

Both cars are capable to win the GTWC with a good driver and some practice.

And that's my 2 cents worth for now.

Inspired by alhajoth's attempt in a '93 Miata, I went back to this to use an undriven Miata from my garage. With qualifying the wins were pretty easy against the 1st lineup after reset, but Tokyo was impossible, finished 6th there just like alhajoth did!

Will make a list update in November, once SFGTP2 is out of the way!!! 👍

i know it has been done but i am just starting for the quest of 200 pointers.

Endurance races: New York 200 miles
Car: Opera Performance S2000 '04 (S1 tyres) / FR / 274HP / 930kg / 3.4kg/HP / 200 A-spec by Open Addict

Finally, after more than a week of cursing, screaming and controller-throwing:

Beginners Hall: FF Challenge Race 4 - Grand Valley
Car: Toyota Voltz S '02 (oil changed) / FF / 138HP / 1250kg / 9.1kg/HP / 200 A-spec

Probably the hardest 200-point race I've ever done, the AI is simply pure evil in this race as compared to annoyingly stupid in most other races.

Lineup:
Renault Megane 2.0 IDE Coupe '02
Renault Megane 2.0 16V '03
Fiat Coupe Turbo Plus '00
Honda Prelude Type S '96
Dodge SRT 4 '03

This is lineup 2 or 3 after reset..

The lead car had a wonderful habit of going wide in the last corner, however he only did this in races where I was not close enough to catch him.
If I was right behind him, the 🤬 would have no problems at all..


I'm guessing this car would have a shot at 200 points in the Laguna Seca enduro, I'll try it over the weekend. Should get high points in the tuning car cup as well.. For now though, a new high for this race:

Special Conditions : Umbria Rally (reverse) : Hard difficulty
Car: Mitsubishi HSR-II concept '89 / 4WD / 345HP / 1200kg / 3.5kg/HP / vs. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Rally Car '03 109 A-spec

My first submission in a while:

Special Condtions Hall: Grand Canyon Rally (hard)

Car: '97 Mitsubishi Evolution IV Rally Car (no oil) / 4WD / 289 hp / 1230 kg / 4.256 kg/hp / vs. '03 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Rally Car for 115 A-spec pts.

Special Conditions : Umbria Rally (reverse) : Normal difficulty
Car: BMW Z4 '03 / FR / 228HP / 1365kg / 6.0HP/kg / vs. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Rs T.M.E. / 159 A-spec


Special Conditions : Umbria Rally (reverse) : Easy difficulty
Car: Nissan Silvia Q's '88 (10k used, no oil) / FR / 133HP / 1090kg / 8.2kg/HP / vs. Audi Quattro '82 / 138 A-spec

An interesting point on this race: The Renault that you can face here, does not like the hairpin at the end of the back straight. On the first lap, he seems to run wide every time, crashing into a barrier, losing 9-10 seconds. I was only offered 118 points for that one, so it didn't help me with the Silvia, but a really underpowered car, that would usually have no chance, could take advantage and grab 200 points here..



Special Conditions: Yosemite Rally I (reverse) : Hard difficulty
Car: Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A '02 / FR / 293HP / 1270kg / 4.33kg/HP / vs. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Rally Car '03 200 A-spec


Special Conditions: Yosemite Rally II (reverse) : Hard difficulty
Car: Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A '02 / FR / 293HP / 1270kg / 4.33kg/HP / vs. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Rally Car '03 200 A-spec


Special Conditions : Tour of Tahiti (reverse) : Hard difficulty
Car: Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A '02 / FR / 293HP / 1270kg / 4.33kg/HP / vs. Renault 5 Maxi Turbo Rally Car '85 200 A-spec

The Renault spins his wheels at the start, so getting the lead is no problem. After that, blocking him is quite easy, there was only contact between us once. And even if he does get past you, he has a tendency to spin out anyway, so all in all a rather easy win.


Special Conditions : Tour of Tahiti : Hard difficulty
Car: Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A '02 / FR / 293HP / 1270kg / 4.33kg/HP / vs. Renault 5 Maxi Turbo Rally Car '85 200 A-spec

Once again, the Renault spun his wheels at the start, so I was in the lead going into the first corner. The AI does better in this race, but it was still a fairly easy win.

Race: El Capitan 200 miles
Car: RUF RGT '00 / RR / 379HP / 1330kg / 3.5kg/HP / 200 A-spec

Was nowhere NEAR a close race. The MS Elise was my closest competitor, quicker down straights, slower around the corners. He did not finish close enough to get a time gap.

Car has to pit VERY often due to S3 tires. (I ran it BONE stock) Oddly did not lose power over course of race.

Good work folks. Will be getting round to an update some time later this month hopefully, once the SFGTP2 results are compiled. Keep the submissions coming.
