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.


Stock Seasonal Time Trials #68:

Non-Racing Car Super Lap: target 1:07.000 - Tsukuba - 450PP - CS - repeat

NASCAR Stock Car Super Lap: 1:34.000 - Indianapolis Road Course - 627PP - RH - repeat
 
Lowest PP cars from last time:

450PP on CS or less at Tsukuba:
408PP - 1:06.979 - Lotus Elise '96 - CS - MR - 118hp - 755kg - Flinx

627PP NASCAR Stock Car at Indianapolis Road Course:
620PP - 1:31.596 - Toyota 2013 Kyle Busch #18 CAMRY - RH - FR - 849hp - 1565kg -MadMax


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

450PP on CS or less at Tsukuba:
408PP - 1:07.989 - Lotus Elise '96 - CS - MR - 118hp - 755kg
423PP - 1:06.597 - Vauxhall VX220 Turbo '00 - CS - MR - 197hp - 1005kg

I was content to get within 1 second with the Lotus. The Vauxhall was fairly easy to get gold with.

627PP NASCAR Stock Car at Indianapolis Road Course:
620PP
- 1:32.193 - Toyota 2013 #11 Camry - RH - FR - 849hp - 1565kg

Got gold on my very first attempt even I was slipping and sliding all over and even ran into the wall without triggering the disqualification. Then I did another couple laps to beat my old time. Feels like the time to beat should have been set at 1:33.000 instead of 1:34.000.
 
450PP on CS or less at Tsukuba:
410PP - 1:07.862 - Lancia Stratos '73 - CS - MR - 185hp - 980kg
411PP - 1:07.440 - Lotus Elise '00 - CS - MR - 120hp - 714kg
409PP - 1:06.861 - Lotus Elise Type 72 '01 - CS - MR - 120hp - 756kg
408PP - 1:06.923 - Lotus Elise '96 - CS - MR - 118hp - 755kg

I've had rather a lot of practice at Tsukuba recently. Odd that the higher PP Elise was the slowest of the three.
I reckon it's just about possible in the Stratos. How about it @lfm58?

Edit
403PP
- 1:06.827 - Opel Speedster '00 - CS - MR - 143hp - 850kg

It's like a slightly heavier Elise with a much beefier engine. Why only 403PP?

@StirlingMoose sorry to be so late answering you.

Actually I'm focus on formal TTs, be patient and I will keep a slot to lap with stock cars.
About stock Stratos I don't believe has the right features to be fast at Tsukuba but I will try and repliy to you.

There's still plenty of time. I'm sure I could do a 1:07.5, which means a better driver could get gold. I hope you get time to have a go, but don't feel obliged.
 
627PP NASCAR Stock Car at Indianapolis Road Course:
620PP
- 1:30.948 - Toyota 2013 Kyle Busch #18 CAMRY - RH - FR - 861cv - 1565kg

Very tought to drive the stock one vs the tuned one.
Just 7 laps and my fingers are fully destroyed, however the experience of the formal TT pay ...
I would believe a stock 1:29 possible but my current priority is trying keep top 50 in the actual one.

Tsukuba later on...

ciao
