It was hard task but very pleasant that 50k ,with many :banghead: and :scared: ,mostly in Daytona.
I was lucky cause the King @RMan72 aka the Boogieman pick the wrong car.
Anyway hope that he enjoy all this also....also am sure that the small Cupra will fly in his hands and as i say hands.....?..

Handsome were the €¢¥£≤≥ are you ?
 
50k
It's not a very good score but since I suck at drifting I'm happy with it.

Tried my hand with the RX8 and RS200. Only improved the RX8 by 2 tenths. Wasn't worth the time it took to run either race. Both cars are old dogs at 450PP. Used the RX8 in a 530PP race in my quest to finish all the races since I started over and it was a handling beast. The No Tune just got worse too so bring on the next round.
 
NO-TUNE update
Very little improvement, I take my hat off to all you guy's. I just can't get it working.

DODGEM CAR update
I was so excited I got under 40 seconds and to busy thinking about making sure I get the replay I forgot to take a time photo. :banghead: but if you add up my lap times you will get: 3:39.182

Cut the 1st corner on the 2nd lap a little but since it's not a winning time it's OK.
 
Very nice Dodgem run mate , you keep the tradition to run quite good with the older muscle cars .
On the other hand VGT gives you a hard time , i bet you loose to much in the first sector , must be driven there very fast and have a good braking to take the uphill without delay.
That tunnel turn gave me hard time with the FT1 but in reverse mod i was way better.
Without tweaking the suspension i get 10.4 mid to high but the fact is that you must run it in " take no prisoners " mod this one .

@Racin510s , both battle cars are quite good stock they only need to tweak the gearing .
Before i use them i test a few laps in free run day time , to see what laps can achive and to find some marks based on race line . Dark is another story especialy on first lap that you have to pass the AI without delay or contact and at this track is even harder cause you hardly see the road limits
If you don't set up the car day time you never know what your limits is to copy them ( as you can of course) in the night ride.
Don't know if you did it that way or not but thats what i did, day time train ,night race after.

Yeah I had trouble with the damn bump before the first corner, it upsets the car.
My main problem is I can't string all 3 sectors together, I added up all my best sectors and I would be in the 1:04s.

Love the old cars.
 
@bjl23 after dodgem challenge
View attachment 771254

I think thats the main goal here Bryce , feels great when you pass the limits you think you had.
Its not about win or not , just surpass your self and that feels great.
That's me after every beer :lol: (I'm not joking, ask my mates)

Your absolutely right mate, I know I'm not going to win fastest time races. And beating you

PS shouldn't had the crab juice
 
You know, considering I'm doing this all in the same night with no prior practise (one night wonder?), I'm pretty happy with the results.

Though I'm not sure what I hate more bout this one. The car or the track.

The car, because it's so stupidly twitchy with every input and I must have spun at least three dozen times... or the track because much as I love Mid field, it's certainly not built to be ran backwards. Case in point: this barrier...

Which narrows right on the line where you'd be sliding out wide to make the most of the racing line. Again, must have hit that lots and lots...

I know the dodgem challenge is still there, but that's me done for the night. Hopefully I've defended my 50k standings, and a solid 2nd in the no tune challenge, can't be mad with that. 👍
