In response to #6926, 
Nice work, Ty, that's a good starting speed for that car! I'm not at home at the minute, I'll get it on the Leaderboard once I'm back with my database program 👍

C'mon, I said that so everybody could read it...Myself
Right, thanks for the figure. I certainly haven't heard of anything less powerful being used, maybe if a seriously high-performance car is used with less power... Unfortanately we can't get a GT-One below that power, and I bet the Tommykaira wouldn't get the power shakes to get over 300mph with less than 700bhp. I'm not dismissing the possibility, mind.mcsqueegy

Got Minolta 88C-V to 300.41mph on my first try

Right, here we go with Ty's speed on the Leaderboard. Sorry about the delay with this one! Any improvements yet?
Hi markhudson17, as with all new members, I have to ask you to confirm that you've read all of the rules outlined in Post #1, and that your run complies with all of them?

No problem...no updates for a little while, as I'm attempting to run the 24 Hours of Nurburgring in all A-Spec (haven't used B-Spec at all in this game, so Bob would be really messed up). My guess is it'll be the beginning of next week before I get anything else up.

I congratulate you on your grit and courage 
I just hope you're using a reasonable car for it - if so, good luck! 👍

Thanks. As I have school during the week, I can't do it all in one sitting, though. Maybe sometime in the summer I can try it all at once. 💡
I'm using the Mercedes CLK Touring Car-seems to be holding up fairly well. Almost 7 hours in and have 2 laps on 2nd place.👍

Yeah, it's a pain in the arse, isn't it 
Make sure you get yourself in the 24-Hour A-Spec Club once you're done
Nice to hear a change from those who do it with a twelve-hundred-horsepower 88C-V, anyway

Make sure you've read the rules in post #1.
Anyway, here's my speed.

Yep - I need to know you've read all of the rules outlined in Post #1, and that they were all followed in your run.mcsqueegyWelcome to GTP Jaybo! You've come to the right place.

Nice work, mcsqueegy, that's not at all far off Viper's record in that car - think you can improve a couple of miles per hour?

Yep i have read all the rules on your first post
Just a little update also, i have managed to get a little more out of the Minolta, still room for improvement i reckon but i am finding it very hard to get it to go any faster

Cool, nice work Jaybo. Keep trying new things, you'd be surprised what can improve your speed!

Having been fooling with the FTO LM (probably will be my next project), I'm pretty sure that the way Masterstorm got it to 300 is because of the rear downforce...glitch (I'll say) that the AWD cars love so much. I personally don't think any car with lower power is 300 MPH capable, simply because the nearest one I can think of was shafted for downforce in the transition from GT3 to GT4.

Whilst my run in the FTO SuperTourer does make use of the 4WD trick, I only know this from knowledge I have gained since. The actual setup on the car is just the basic one I use for RWD machines (geared appropriately); it's somewhat surprising that this worked for the FTO given how other 4WD cars respond, and as such I was unaware of any special trick until much later. From what I recall, I only did 2 or 3 runs in the FTO, and only then because I missed some gear changes. It was whilst trying to improve the turning circle on a 3000GT that I started to notice any strange 4WD behaviour, although I did not realise what was happening or experiment more fully until I first took the Road Car record.
I'm not sure why you cite rear downforce as the cause for general 4WD trickery, as apart from the FTO, I tend to run considerably heavier at the front end on my 4WD cars.
Anyway, good luck, and congratulations to all of those with new speeds recently. 👍

Toyota Supra RZ '97 - 300.30mph
All 4 wheels on the ground at all times, infact it has completely slammed suspension and no downforce.
I hit no walls, I went the correct direction, no Gameshark/AR Max... I think I've stayed well within the rules.:tup:

You could say thatMSI tend to run considerably heavier at the front end on my 4WD cars.
Always interesting to read into the background behind speeds that have been posted in the past, even though I don't run these speed tests much it helps my limited experience understand things a bit more
Hi VTiRoj, nice to see a road car used for your first speed! I'll get you on the Leaderboard as soon as, I'm on my laptop without my database at the moment, making it something of a job to do it now
Danster, as Rotary says, you'll need to prove those speeds - as outlined in the rules in Post #1, which you should've read before posting any speeds. Cheers.

It's also my first road car to 300mph.
I spent so long with a 861bhp Supra and only got 295mph, but then I tried the exact same setup on a 904bhp Supra, and got 300! I guess I can put CLUB 300 in my sig now. 💡
