Sorry for the wait ladies and gentlemen. Over the past week I was a little under the weather and in combination with PD changing its formats over the past several weeks and making the gold times a little more tedious for the non-SRF users I was a little unsure if I had the energy to continue with the stock seasonals. Fortunately I noticed a few players saying and demonstrating that they could achieve the gold times (such as @nowcontrol with the RX-7 Spirit R Type A '02 and @Morphisor with the 205 Turbo 16 '85) and one person messaged me hoping that the SSTT threads would continue: thanks @TangoR34 for giving me a jump start. So let’s get on with it.
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. Since SSTT#8 some of the gold time have become increasingly challenging to reach with this approach, and some have been shown to be impossible. These may require much more time and practice for some people. PD’s new format has started to include some TTs that require SRF to be on and others where it is turned off. Originally the courtesy car TTs which allowed SRF to be on or off had much more flexible gold times for the non-SRF users, and so were not included here, but now that gold is much more of a challenge I think these courtesy car TTs should be included here (provided the option to turn off SRF exists).
Warning: Some of these challenges are getting to be extreme and should be approached with caution!
This thread is for people to post their lap times who have used the following limitations:
1) Car must be stock: no upgrades to cars are permitted (this includes upgrades that do not increase PP such as transmissions).
2) Fresh oil changes in order to temporarily increase HP and PP are not permitted. If you have done an oil change recently you should lower your car's power to the non-fresh-oil-change HP level or wait until the HP has returned to the OEM oil level.
3) You must use the original tires that the car came with.
4) No "Car Settings" like Brake Balance can be adjusted.
5) No SRF or ASM is allowed: other Driver Assists are permitted. [SRF is obviously permitted if PD has forced drivers to employ it.]
Stock Seasonal Time Trials #10:
Peugeot Non-Racing Car Super Lap: target 1:04.000
[Stock RCZ ‘10 = 407 PP - 197 HP - 1,350 KG - CS]
Mazda RX-7 (FD) Non-Racing Car Super Lap: target 1:34.000
[Stock RX-7 Spirit R Type A (FD) ’02 = 466 PP - 292 HP - 1,270 KG - SH]**
Tajima E-RUNNER Pikes Peak Special Super Lap: target 1:01.000

* The RCZ ’10 is the entrant with the second highest PP (by 1 PP), but it is 36,100 credits cheaper than the 205 Turbo 16 ‘85 and is a premium car. The 205 Turbo 16 '85 might be the easier option for some since it is 4WD rather than FF.
** The RX-7 Spirit ’02 is the entrant with the maximum PP.
