In that case I'll share some info on my attempts,
I've been trying the Daihatsu OFC-1 and can't get under 8 minutes (let alone 7"35"000)- the thing just doesn't have enough power (only 160bhp or thereabouts fully modded except using Mid-rpm turbo). It carries the speed well but just doesn't have enough outright speed- I can only get up to about 130mph on the long straight (even with higher gearing).
If you do try this car, though I'd advise against it, watch the high apexes as on my laps with it I nearly rolled it multiple times
Admittedly I'm not the best driver and am only on a DS3 so I reckon a decent driver with a wheel could possibly creep under 8 minutes.
I'm looking out for some Kei cars to generate in my UCD but as of yet- no luck

The OFC-1 is so easy to drive , even with 149bhp/438pp this car can clock 7:50s and lower.

Hi, try this "Daihatsu Copen Active Top '02 " ,it's faster than OFC-1 and easy to control. Tune it with the tune that fit better for you, and drive looking for a good line more than attack. don't brake too late and try to have a good speed out of corners. Quickly you'll take out 10 to 15" ,you'll see.
Put your fastest ghost everytime and race against to check where you did not good.
Good luck,have a good day.

3rd?! Something is in the water today isn't there? The newer members are a bitÂ…arrogant, (sorry if this offended anyone, it's a bit much for a generalisation) and the not so new members are getting the boot for reasons that I can't quite fathomÂ…(For sin1ser case anyways) Anyways, who was the other 2?That's the 3rd Ban today and it's not even 7am yet...

The banishment was more than justified, we'll leave it at that.
I've been meaning to share my findings the past few days but never got a chance to sit down and throw them up here. Only have two that I've spent some serious time with:
Mini Marcos GT - Well, it's engine is double the allowable limit, and it's 70mm too long, but I always felt this compared to Keis far more than the super-FF's. In full tune it's fast (mostly because it's so light), and even with the tiny wheels, it doesn't torque-steer and hunt down the outside edge of turns. A lot of fun, very planted, very torquey. My first lap was comfortably under 7:30, and it had a major off. I'm going to revisit it just for curiosity now, even if it can't compete in the faster class.
Alfa 147 GTA - Ah, my favourite hyper-hatch of the last decade. Despite that giant engine up front, it's not that nose-heavy, or at least doesn't feel it much with RS tires. It can't touch the SRT4 for straight-line speed (topping out at 407hp, all found without forced induction too), but it's still quite fast and very well balanced. Up until trying the SRT4, this was the fastest FF car I've played with for a considerable amount of time in the game (seriously, I avoid them). It will easily crack the 7min barrier, but it won't hit that goal time for the class. It will compete with a stock 155 Touring Car around here, though!

I seem to have been distracted by the British Lightweights NĂĽrburgring race, and Praiano's awesome E-Type tune again...unfortunately I still can't beat 7:45 in the best of my Kei cars and I don't have anything great for the FF challenge. I will be hammering out a few laps in my Taurus SHO for good measure though 
Also, since I seem to be sponsoring this, anyone who has a winning time so far should contact me with your request for a birthday ticket of your choice. I shall send PMs out when it's not 5am and I haven't just woken up ^_^

Not to further distract you but have you tried Quicksilver my Spitfire tune in the British lightweight races? I have one on share if you want to check it out.I seem to have been distracted by the British Lightweights NĂĽrburgring race, and Praiano's awesome E-Type tune again...unfortunately I still can't beat 7:45 in the best of my Kei cars and I don't have anything great for the FF challenge.

Also remember for the musclecar challenge its pre '80 cars.
Speaking of which is anyone besides praiano trying the musclecars out, and do I need to raise the time?
Praiano has a 7:10 with his Mach I currently...

That's exactly the tune I have for my Spitfire it's a blast and sounds amazing, even if mine isn't silver chrome

I can help you with that, (Me, helping a mod?! A little fool like me, helping big person over there!) Leonidae did a GTA tune for me, RS tyres, maxed out, so you could borrow it if you want, see what it could do in the hands of someone with proper skill.
Thanks Onboy, but it won't be necessary - No tune will get that car under 6:25, so I'll just be fiddling with it on my own as time allows

I'm gonna give this a go in the Vintage Muscle Category. Probably will choose the Charger 440, Superbird or Camaro Z28. If I succeed I will post a pic up with my time. Anyone beat 7min in an American Vintage? Sports Mediums correct? And how do you know if the right tire was used? If all we are doing is posting a pic of our time?

Great! Run all of them I post results of winning times in the OP and a driver can have multiple cars with their times posted. I also link the cars to the tunes for them so if you post your tunes in your garage there will be a direct link to it. Finally the prize for beating the challenges can be won multiple times, once for each car you beat the time with.
Good luck and hope to see a Ring Master posted soon for the Classic Musclecars.đź‘Ťđź‘Ť

And it' s the harder challenge i think. The mustang mach1 work good, i'm only 10 seconds but will not be easy to take out.

I know this will be a challenge, but I think I am more "one with the car" (American Vintage) than the FF or Kei Cars. But since there is no power restrictions I think I can pull it off. Especially with the Superbird, my trans is set just right for that straightaway and it carries more horses and speed than the Mach 1. But the Mach 1 is definitely a good choice too, as it has aerodynamics you can adjust and is lightweight.
