Here was my entry into the school
Brands is a difficult circuit to master with its off camber corners and blind apexes, the Z8 made it slightly easier though 💡

No tune/63.
3:10.176
I suspect the car is what makes this a little tedious, instead of a specific adversary set. There's torque but not so much power. Still, first gear is required.

AAA!

Here is what my next Goodwood series looks like in my gt6
After 20-25 attempts i pass the damn after the bridge corner .....
After about 10 more i reach the end
.....
And after 15-20 i can say that warm up starts.....
Before that i run No tune with different fields .
My conclusion is that a quick frontrunner-s can drag you out .
When i had a quick first lap due to sleepstreming or push from behind ,my second wasn't as fast as needed.
Of course can be the opposite way not quick first but quick second one and so on.
My best parts from all i run indicates a total close to 07 plus but to achieve that is another story
Anyway starting from 13s , continue to 10s as Saint did and the no tune story is like this
PS
Great job @bjl23 ,you just stole my no tune victory ....... F you man ( Fabulous ) 👍

Practice round? More like a Sunday drive following the speed limit.Practice round at Goodwood
I had to throw everything I had at it, as I haven't won a no-tune in 8 or 9 rounds.PS

Here are some time from when I was designing the TOURING CAR MASTERS event,
All cars got a quick tune ( zeroed off the camber and toe, lowered the top 2 LSD settings to 5 and did my standard gear box settings).
I suspect that the results will be different with a more detailed tuning.

@smoothbore12 how come you think you can't win no tune this time?
I will try few races this week, I brought my gt6 disc today with me.
Spoiler.. OFFTOPIC
I was testing to see if I can drive in my sleeping room on Grid. It still amazes me that this game has leaderboards and challenges every week.
Only 3 of 150 of us managed to finish in 1.05...But am still little bit disappointed to get only P3.

I played the back 9 with a 7 iron
I hope you have a lot more time to gain, other wise my no oil change idea is rubbish.

I did only 2 races.. I don't kbow about a lot.. definitely not more than 5 seconds I think.. We should maybe wait for Hugh because I suck at slow races.. but my first thought was that no oil change is maybe too much on this type of race.

Tinkerbell the " boss" stole my upcoming victory at no tune cause i make the mistake to leave it for another time ,while when i run it for the first time though that can go faster according to my mistakes ( mostly with other cars or loosing brakes before uphill sector ).
This time i didn't make the same
But Hugh present ...... Or even someone else from the gang , you never be sure .
Anyway just had a quick one on Bryce event and was not easy to comply with the rules since every fast car is way light to put so much weight and run it.
The choice came from a car i find as frontrunner and needed only 120 kilos of weight to follow the rules.

Goodwood no warm up this time .

Veterans take over the Sacred Valley!
We're back at Grand Valley once more. This week's invitational is rather interesting, as for the first time in my Challenge Hub career, I'm entering an event where the car choice isn't as limited (there was the NASCAR No-Tune, but all of the NASCAR vehicles perform the same, so it doesn't really count). This means I'm free to be the odd one out and pick a more... Unorthodox machine that I don't think a lot of people will go for.
Our weapon of choice: Ferrari 365 GTB/4 '71
Now, besides being an odd pick that I'm sure not many people will end up choosing, the 365 GTB also has a stock weight of exactly 1,200 kg - Right on the limit. This means I don't need to use ballast or gamble with weight reductions to get the car down to the minimum weight.
Our Prancing Horse is heading into this event tuned as per the image below:
500BHP/1200KG/550PP
As for the race itself, it's pretty boring. By turn 6, I am usually past the lead car and off into the distance I go. It's basically a two-lap time trial with AI cars, so there's not much to write about. Our Ferrari is quite prone to oversteer, though, so sometimes I end up ruining my own run by just spinning out. Sometimes, I get my run wrecked at the start by hitting the white Mustang or the Mazda RX500, but other than that, the races usually go smoothly.
After a few runs, I got a time I was pleased with for now. Keep in mind that, as you can see in the shots above, I ran the car without a wing, as I wasn't sure if it was allowed (and because they all looked ugly on this car...), so for now my best time is a 4:02.955. If wings are allowed, I might redo this run with one installed, as the extra downforce will probably gain me some time.
And also:
120m Sprint: 4.905
This was complicated to set up, as I had to drive while looking at the feed from my laptop's camera - which by the way, is mirrored until it outputs something! But considering it is a straight line, it wasn't too bad.
Gears:
(Don't bother looking at the ratios, the auto setting is what really matters here)

I just had a thought about the TOURING CAR MASTERS, every event we design which allows us to use multiple cars we all end up using the some car once someone posts the best car to use (like the GTR Black Edition from the 5000M SPRINT)
So I was thinking, instead of posting our times and showing which car we used why don't we wait until the last 24 hours to post our best times?
But while we wait for that window we could post our fastest first laps without showing the car? If you want.
Thoughts guys?

Personally , I'll stay with the Ford cause it suits me better and i have more control to use oversteering " work " for me with ballast all the way in front.
Have a good day guys and be safe and healthy . The virus is rising again everywhere but most people think and act like is not there ( at least here ) .

120 m Sprint
An experimental run was maybe ruined by dark clouds, the pictures from the webcam were useless. Six runs of unknown performance.
Then these:
1 4.942
2 4.971
3 4.983
4 4.966
5 4.972
Didn't look like it was worth going for a half an hour, you know?
YouTube incl. ICE thunder (there was actual thunder outside)

The " thing" with almost all races at 500 GT is that is inevitable to avoid hit by someone especially at the brake zones.
Even if you have faster car ,always someone will " slap " you from behind .
I run a bit the lotus at Sunday just in case was the next school and never end untouchable.

Hey guys, sorry about the inactivity, been playing GT5 and getting A N G E R Y at the Special Events, but already at 27% complete after a few weekends of rage and going very quickly in the OP McLaren F1 Stealth Model.
EDIT: Also the tyres die after literally 3 seconds of acceleration with no TC, which is the same with my C6 ZR1 Racing Modification

@smoothbore12 This in going to be the next race at the SkeagRacingSchool.
The race car that you will be driving will be the "Acura NSX LM Race Car 1991 all 537PP versus race cars with 650PP. Again you do not have to win the race to win the school. I think this will be the most difficult race that we have had at the school in my opinion as it took me many times to win clean. I suggest that you start running lap now to get the feel of the NSX and track. Go slow to go fast. Same for the rest of you blokes.

I know what you mean Noel ,perhaps next one will be my last this month cause i need to leave again for work about 10 days 
Today i run the Olympics and am done .
Quite frustrating the " capture" thing but am not gonna bother .
Just did a 4.885 which will count as 4.899 and that's all.
Long jump ,my knees is as far as that
The only that I'll play will be Bryce invitational cause i love the way GT 40 slides and school .
This Ford can kill them all and i mean it. Reminds me the Alfa laps in same track that was steering mostly with throttle than the wheel .
PS
My controller dies - short of - since right steering button dont come back , hopefully i bought 2 but i have to prepare my next one just in case
Must have change about 6-7 of them the two was original used ..

Another one pleasant hour on that "killer" car from the old days ,in fact i was 2 years old when hit the road this fantastic American beauty.
I don't think that any other car following the weight regulations ( 1200 kg) can move that fast.
