You should re-organize the layout of person, car, then time. I take it you dont have any typography experience, because big, bold blue squished together in an unorganized fashion make a difficult read.

"Leaderboard:
1. Onboy123 Car: Mistubishi Lancer Evolution VI RS TM '00 1:18.891

2. gOLd Car: Lancer Evo VI RS '99 1:19.061"

Just an example. Its a pain to read what you have.

Edit for my personal time

Car: PDI Racing Kart 1:29.439
Was a funny run, I wasnt expecting to be 6-7 seconds off of some of these times considering the price tag.

My participation#2:

240SX '96 (82000km)
Tires: SS
CPU upgrade
Catalyst
Racing filter
BHP 230/ 425PP

Lap time: 1.22,201

Exactly 4secs down from 1st attempt having 35PS less but SS instead of CS tires...

Only assistance was ABS=2 and driving on a sixaxis.

The best thing I came up with was the Evo VI GSR. $23k and change. Changed the oil, high-flow cats, and sports air cleaner.

Ran 1:20.345

There's hope for a Civic Type R to break into the Evo domination. I got sick of racing slow cars, but the one I grabbed was running in the '21's and I wasn't getting everything out of it.
 
My first try.

Toyota CELICA 2000GT-FOUR (ST165) '86 19,355
250 Oil Change
=19,605

1,000 ECU
=20,605

450 Racing Air Filter
=21,055

Catal Convert 500
=21,550

Sport Exhaust 1,500
=23,050

Semi racing Flywheel 1,500
24,550

Time: 1.29.928

Oh and no aids but ABS
 
Lol, oops… Still, since he hasn't shown up for quite a while now, I'm guessing he's either given up or still looking for a car, so 3rd is safe.
 
Second entry:

'96 Subaru WRX Sti

16 and change....
Sport Soft Tires, oil change, sports air filter.

1:19.524

Edit-forgot the '1' in the time...


Edit 2-Smitz may be right in calling me out for going over budget. I didn't write down the actual cost and could have goofed that.

Damn u...lol...whats the costings?
I'm tempted to do my time again now that this has replaced my 3rd spot...but looking at everything I think you may have gone over the limit

Me? I'm busy over the next few days so I need someone to take over this thread.
 
No, not you, someone else. And if you can't get someone to take this thread off you, I guess I could do it...

And the laptime is...... Not there.
 
Can you please?

Ok, I wouldn't mind.

Edit: Wow, 1:18.750 from a VW beetle?! That I didn't expect, even with racing hards on. Enjoy your stay in first, because it'll be short lived. (hopefully, it'll be me who'll knock you off) I'll have another go later, great time btw.

Racing hards are 15K credits. You do realize that you have to account for that right?
 
It's a CUP CAR, ie race car. All race cars come standard with racing soft tires. And the time he set was already beaten by me, I just haven't posted the time yet.

Hey, quick suggestion. How about we split the laptimes into classes, sorted by their drivetrain so that it'll hopefully stop people just using Evo's and Impreza's.

I like that idea sounds good
