THE CHALLENGE HUB, CHALLENGE COMPLETE

[bjl23]

Good holiday round for me to celebrate. I miss santa's hats now
It was fun as always Noel

Great race mate, you really deserve that win. 👍

 

[bjl23]

HAPPY 50TH round challenge hub!

Thank you to everyone here (past and present) for making this possible, it has been a truly amazing experience for me.

The new format has started, go to the first post to see all the format changes.

As we say goodbye to the MGF CHALLENGE, @lfm58 has had the honor to be the first to choose an event for the NO-TUNE challenge, starting with STREET CAR ROUND.

He has also designed the next USERS CHOICE event, he brings a little bit of GTS to the hub with the LEWIS HAMILTON TT

@skeagracing has said the next class is going to be harder then the RING.

Can @nostradavor2 put a stop to @paddycars1 run in the MISSIONS? He will need to win the next mission.

TOUR DA NASCAR race 2 is here, @smoothbore12 and @paddycars1 please check your weight penalties.

And check out posts 4 and 5 as they have changed.

Thanks guys.

 

[smoothbore12]

Congratulations to the winners and an extra bravo for @nostradavor2 for his outstanding control race he had at school .
I would never be able to finish that way , amazing Mr Tinkerbell.


I whish i could see Bryce face when @lfm58 announce the track that will take place the user choise event

As about weight i suppose that weight must be at zero point and not where we like it ,am i right @bjl23 ?
Hope that @RMan72 is just busy and nothing else happening .
Looking forward for our new friend participation and @Racin510s .
Here is my ugly run where the vid title says what you're about to see




PS
Under a bit heavy drugs my back showing a bit improvement.

@skeagracing , sorry Master but there is nothing harder than the Ring .

Yes, you can't adjust the weight position.

I noticed that Luca always comes up with great events. I just don't think Ill grind to buy that car.

Come on Tinkerbell , when you are searching the tv to find among Romanian girls for THE ONE .....that made your heart " explode " ( or any other part , doesn't matter ) you can put your bspec bob to grid at like the wind and every 4.30 reload it again.
A GTR black mask will do it easy full powered.
Am also curious if i will be more or less than 30sec. Behind
Hopefully after Noel's last school it will be easier for me and maybe i learn all the track this time.
Am waiting also @Thematic to " shine" on this since without SRF on is very strong and he prove that many times at mission challenges .

@bjl23 this no tune is gonna be nightmare , i remember when i was trying to design an event and choose London reverse ,just quit the idea from the first lap.

 

[nostradavor2]

ok Ill try.. there's 2 weeks time.. thing is I sold all my cars since Im playing both 5 and 6 and have 400 different cars in 5 only ones left in 6 are diablo gt, diablo gt2 since they are not in 5 and NASCAR sincenI need itnfor 2 more rounds
I can grind red bull thing but it's really boring to drive it.. I had Huayra that did it in less 4 mins but sold that too

edit.. I just saw it's London reverse in no tune.. how does that fit into German event I have no idea..

edit2.. @lfm58 I know this event is probably from gts.. what time do you have to beat there to beat hamilton?

 

[bjl23]

@bjl23 this no tune is gonna be nightmare , i remember when i was trying to design an event and choose London reverse ,just quit the idea from the first lap

You said that last time we where there and it turned at to be fun, just don't hit those magnetic walls.

edit.. I just saw it's London reverse in no tune.. how does that fit into German event I have no idea

I thought the same thing to, are there 3 German tracks?

PS, the Toyota supra is great the for LIKE THE WIND race. And don't forget we need a lot of money for the next CHIC, I hope you didn't sell the corvette from the last SKEAG RACING SCHOOL because your going to need it.

 

[nostradavor2]

@bjl23 If I recall correctly even tho it's imaginary track, Deep Forest is supposed to be inspired by some place in Germany but Im not 100% sure.

of course I sold that one too hahah

Yet they put that track in the GT300 and GT500 races.
They got Nürburgring Nordschleife as 1 race they could of put GP/F and GP/D in.

 

[Thematic]

^ Yes but those tracks are so much filler.

 

[lfm58]

GT SPORT

... but the car setting and physic are quite different, e.g. the GTS Sauber power is around 300cv more than GT6 model ...

PS: my name is Luciano not Luca

Mamma mia... scusi ma Luciano è il nome piu bello di Luca Perdona il mio italiano tanti anni fa ho avuto una ragazza di Torino e ho studiato l'italiano un po ma adesso ho dimenticato quasi tutto

Also I can't see the photo you posted

edit.. Also @smoothbore12 what is your name? So I don't make mistakes anymore lol

edit2.. I watched Hamilton playing GTS on YT.. I was never fan of him but he seems like a cool guy.. btw if you cant see picture time on nordschleife to beat is 5:40.6 but I guess its not relevant since as Luciano said cars are different.

 

[smoothbore12]

My full name is : Charalampos Triantafyllou and since is common there to shortcut names they could call me Harry ( like harry potter) or Babis which is also very common sing for taverns , butcher store , vegetable store etc.
So the second one prevails and Babis is years now.

PS
I don't know whats going on but my back today seems with no improvement at all
The grasp remains on certain muscle at the left side and i feel like a prisoner , i can't even play and if i play i can't get up to take a shot and if i ask Mary to take a shot ....... Then i will have not only my back but my head also in pain after a " meeting" with a fry pan or some other kitchenware
Life is a bitch , period.

 

[nostradavor2]

Ok, great mate.. now we all have names
well if it's injury it'll take a while

I took a shot with M3 and Sauber.. I have confirmation video for Sauber if needed but I dont think it'll be needed since my laps were full of mistakrs and my wheel is messing with me but I set myself goal for today which is done on 2nd lap. Expect to improve it next time. Don't expect to improve NO TUNE time because I don't feel like driving that race anymore.

I used no aids except abs1.. in real life someone would probably use traction control on this car.

 

[skeagracing]

@skeagracing Haha I liked it too, watched it few times. There's also a picture on last page I made, can't copy it now for some reason, take a look. Shame that Citroen and Ford bumped into each other when I went to overtake them on outside. It would be perfect 4 car finish otherwise. While I was driving I also kind of hoped Viper and C5 Vette maybe will catch up and use slipstream (Viper was close for some time) and thought 6 cars would be insanity but it didn't happen.

Noel if you ever come to Europe let me know, I'd come to any track to have a lap with you.. promise

Here is my answer nothing would have changed and you would have still won the race as the Batmobile always does that at some point in the Green Hell. I actually saw it when I ran this race with the Batmobile in the lineup. The big thing was the ending that was fantastic!!

Just gave this a shot ( Ring) and surprisingly i am only 16 seconds behind .
My TC settings are on 2 and i find it not so bad without SRF and dead stock.
But when the car loose grip ...... Is gone.

I agree with Master Noel , the end of your race was amazing and all your race was like watching a race on tv .
I should " hate " you for that but..... Nobody can hate Tinkerbell

I wonder what would've happened if viper and other corvette also made it to get in pack.. it would be 6 cars in final corners they weren't even much behind but I guess their exit speed to final straight was bad..

Anyways is your next race Apricot Hill right?

@smoothbore12 so you can probably catch me.. there's a lot of wheelspin.. Id be happy to get 5:49 to be honest.. and I'm not even sure Ill manage it.. I tried it one more time and had around 5 seconds lead over my ghost after half race than I crashed

Yes with the Camaro Z-28 on replay view. I will post a video soon on Replay view. Not an easy race as the Z-28 is a handful. Heavy car with lot's of wheel spin. I can put up my tune if it will help.

 

[nostradavor2]

I bought Camaro.. Need to find some setup.. But I'll probably play next time in a week or so because have some stuff to do this week. I like Apricot Hill but Im bad at it.. I know that because when I do red bull championship for grinding I struggle there while I win easily other 4 races.

Noel this car is a poem to drive ( at least mine is from what i remember) the way it sounds and put power on the road is adorable.

 

[paddycars1]

No tune
Cs tyres no assets.

chic race.

ko's

 

[paddycars1]

Lewis Hamilton TT
First lap spun after the carousel.

 

[nostradavor2]

I'll be happy when I hit 5:55.. So only 4 seconds better is my goal because want to drive with hood cam and nothing on display which I never tried before and I tried it now and it's fun even tho I'm slower. Also max ffb and tv sound

Paddy is that 6:00 your chic race? I entered the race and drove 2 times utile 1st corner.. This NASCAR on SH is really painful lol

 

[Thematic]

50./No Tune
Race 9 (only full races). I lack the required accuracy. The GTR edition seems to have much better braking.
2:58.563

I used driver's eye view (and zeroed aids) for the atmosphere.

UC / Lewis Hamilton TT
I looked for a mostly useless ghost to start with but there was nothing between 5 and 6 minutes so I didn't load one.
With the downforce at about half the car likes to take off especially at the downhill left after Pflanzgarten I (Sprunghügel, I think). But early on, I let the car go past the barrier that separates the pit lane from the raceway.
Got it from the dealership for this and the odometer at the end of this lap was 139 km:
6:08.004


My upper body was certainly warm after that.

 

[nostradavor2]

@Thematic I never use any driving aids except for no tune in challenge hub. that's basically it.
I think I also always use driver's eye camera (I think I don't know the names) but thought it would be more realistic to see some of the hood or maybe not.. will see.. I know cockpit camera is stupid for me because I have my own hands on the wheel and than there is another wheel on the screen. Yes, the car can fly but wont if you lift from the throttle before possible jumps.

 

[bjl23]

Nice driving guys, I'm a bit scared to do the Lewis TT I may try it just to throw my hat in the ring, that's if a can get a valid lap.

CHIC
The extra weight really makes this car a handful.
@paddycars1 your a little down from your test times.

NO-TUNE
Needed to buy another car after a couple of runs, the insurance company wrote the car off and I lost my triple A insurance rating
Damn magnetic walls.

I don't know ether I didn't realise the pic was blurred I'll have proper go Wednesday night.I always drive roof cam for any event
I've noticed some of the fastest drivers are bumper cam the only car that I can get a faster lap bumper cam is the yellow bird I recently got down to 7:22 at the ring on real could see a 7:19 after a few laps.

I only did one race but the fact that there's still a 25 kg weight it makes things a lot difficult for meI suppose we can't win them all

 

[nostradavor2]

I drive the one where all you have is rear view mirror and nothing else visible of your car. I'll do that one or the one where you can see car hood only but without any display info on the screen.. I might try abs off also.. there's just few places that it's possible to lock up I think but dont kbow which bb to set.. and will try with max ffb.. Which tyres for Yellowbird? Will try it, will be happy when I do full lap

 

[Thematic]

Has to be sports tyres on Ruf. Maybe because I started with the BTR years ago with little skill, I wanted the comfort tyres because then you could afford bigger mistakes on a valid lap. And I didn't go for more grip later.

I sometimes forget there's several languages within the game, I learned the names (en) from watching replays: normal view is the "where's my car" one, driver's eye is where you see either the interior or the placeholder abyss and external view is for marveling at the tail lights or such. I don't look at the Fanatec wheel nor the graphic so it does not bother me.
