I've seen a lot of topics braging about making a challenge like top gear's ones but still none really doing it. So I decided to make one :dopey:

How its going to work:
I'll be editing this topic with the new challenges every 24h and you'll have 1 challenge per day this whole week.
Total of 7 challenges starting today and ending next wednesday, 12/01.
All you have to do is take a pic of your time/speed/etc and you're in that challenge.
For each challenge there will be a different point system that will determine how many positive and negative points you have got.
If you just found this thread and we have already past the firsts challenges, you're welcome to do all the challenges until you get to the atual one.

Rules (updated daily):


day 1:

-The car must cost less than 15.000$
-Your must set a time that will be compared to Stigs time in a Vauxhall Astra Diesel in the Top Gear Test Track: 1'45".00 (police car challenge)
-You'll get 1 point for every second faster and lose 1 for every second slower.
-No tuning allowed (no oil change)
-No Driving aids other than ABS and Driving Line allowed
-All times will count until I update day 2


day 2:

-Now with the money you still have from the initial 15.000$, you should tune your car and take it to the top gear test track for another hot lap.
-The time you have to beat is 1'32".400, set by the presenters of the show in a Renault Avantime tunned by themselves
-No Sport/Racing tires allowed.
-For each second faster you'll get 1 point and 500$ back from your money, for each second slower you'll lose 1 point and 250$ from your money.


How to post:
Car: example x '08
Base Price: 14.000$
Time w/ Pic: 1'40".000

Bonus - Real Top Gear Mode
Rules:
-You can't change cars after buying the first
-You can't change tuning parts after buying them
-Only your first lap time counts (as in the show they only do 1 lap even if they spin out or something)



Results:(updated daily)

1º - Ninhasso - 8 points - Eagle Talon Esi '97
2º - GODfreyGT5 - 7 points - MX-5 Miata J-Limited (NA,J) '91




OBS1: As all lap times in the Top Gear Program were not Hot laps, i'm reducing original times by 3 seconds.
OBS2: My main language isn't english, please report any gramatical errors
