Well, here's a challenge I set myself yesterday which turned out a fair bit harder than I thought. See if anyone can do better (bet someone can!).
The idea was to take a very cheap little FF car and take it to the World Compact Car Cup in Professional - and try to win, of course. Sounds easy, right?
Not quite so: I picked the Honda CR-X '90 SiR, a nice-handling FF car for only 5450 credits.
But I wanted to drive/win by by "simulator rules", that is, two wheels on the track at *all* times (curbs don't count as track), no driving aids, no downforce, no touching of trackside objects, no AI-pushing and N2 tyres. Apart from fitting NOS, the car was stock.
Although the CR-X is a nice little car, the bonehead AI made it not as easy as I expected. (A-Spec was around 72 - 90 points.) Especially at Hong Kong I had to settle for 3rd place, even after doing pole beforehand. Won the Cup overall with several wins, though.
The challenge is, of course, to do the same in the CR-X, *or*: to find an even cheaper FF car to win that Cup. Max horsepower should be 160 BHP (only adding Nos allowed, all others stock, N2 tyres), same as the Honda, but I have some doubts if there's anything cheaper than that.
If anyone's willing to have a go and finds a car even *cheaper* than this one which is able to win by these rules, let's hear it!
