Weekly Race Series, Week 38

[T13R]

I think I'm going to take a little time for this race... But can it be made clear if the Escudo is allowed or not??

Ok, just in case, (I really don't think it stands a chance.) but no Escudo either.

I think this means no, but I wouldn't mind seeing how it stacks up with the right tuning... has anyone ever made it turn like a road racer?

Im gonna give it a try and attempt matching my initial times.

Note: the escudo is not allowed based on booms statment which also included the gt-one's and the r390's.

My best for the vertigo at this moment is 45.142... Theres a few spots that need to be improved on, and I have to get deep into the suspension tuning now.

But it hasnt been included yet in the DON'T USE car list in the first post. So I'm still sorta uncertain.

I don't even know where to start on this one. I mean, there are so many cars that would be awesome to use for this race; and I can only submit 1!

 

[Kent]

Well it was a post by boom himself only a few down from the first post, so I would just accept that as his answer, but then again, you may want to race it and see where it stacks up. Boom suspected that it might not keep up, let us know how it goes.

Perhaps I will try this one to increase my total time submissions to a whopping 2! Stupid school leaves me with next to zero time. If I find time I shall try it. It looks like a good race; very interested in what car is used to win.

 

[IDAFC21]

Id run the diablo if it were allowed

 

[VG30DETT]

I could try the... or the... or the! OR THE!! *head explodes*

I was thinking of trying the...

Nissan Z Concept (fully tuned)
Nissan Skyline GTR 33 (mild horsepower)
Toyota Altezza RS200 (fully tuned)
Honda/Acura NSX Type R/Type S/Type S-Zero (fully tuned)
Lotus Esprit V8 SE (mild horsepower)
Mazda RX-8 (fully tuned)
Mazda RX-7 (fully tuned)
Peugeot 206 (fully tuned)
RUF RGT (fully tuned)
Renault Clio Sport V6 24V (fully tuned)
Shelby Cobra (fully tuned)
TVR Speed 12 (stock)
Tommy Kaira ZZII (fully tuned)

I'm not a big fan of racing vehicles, especially when they're not required. Them being plastered with sponsers just isn't appealing to me.

Hmmm, This race has got my mind running in a thousand directions now. . . ok, maybe just 150, but still. I wonder it the 911 GT3 could be used in this race. Der, I am all about a non-race car race between cars btw

Also, if you were to run the diablo, you would have to supply replay, flat out.

Zonda race could use some competition and the diablo just may be it.

Man, my Fastest T2 in the vertigo is just .2 away from that (unfortunately, I screwed it up in the last corner). oh well, slower T times yeilded a faster overall time. Here's the fastest T-times:
T1: 0'11.994
T2: 0'44.879
and here are the ones I've submitted:
T1: 0'12.335
T2: 0'45.506

Wow kent, I did a run in my first car choice this morning before I left for work and I too got a 44.6 how cool is that. i only wish I had a diablo to try out. too bad I dont have a SP

 

[IDAFC21]

man its gonna be hard to pick a car this week. I have a few in mind i'd like to try, one being the diablo if its OK'ed by boom, and a couple others i think would be fun to drive

 

[zer0h]

Well i was doing some laps at this track last week in the denso and here is my T2 sector from it 41'796 I know that i won't be able to use this run but i am going to give some other cars ago and see how they compare. The only cars i think that will be able to match/beat the denso is the mr drive cars, zonda @ 1150+hp or the nsx's (have not tried). And that is if the escudo is removed from this race.

 

[Jpec07]

Vertigo is the car for me. I don't know, somehow it just really agrees with me...

 

[sn00pie]

T2 45.1 in the Vertigo, I haven't bothered touching the set-up yet.

 

[-Spool-]

well I scrapped the vertigo to try something new... first lap, no tuning, 43.363.... I like it...

 

[zer0h]

Spool what car was that or are ya keeping it secret

Had one or 2 laps in another car and it beat my denso record on second lap, so that T2 or 41.7 will be beat

 

[Oliver DePlace]

boom:
It'd be nice, if you'd include all exclusions in the race specs.
Might have missed the Escudo.

Pagani Zonda Race Car... just ran a 42.828.... and hit a wall on the last turn

What car you running?

 

[zer0h]

Zonda Race Car aswell

 

[-Spool-]

well its time to try a few other cars.... I just pulled a perfectly clean 43.186 and beat my best vertigo lap time by 4.855 seconds.... I might try an NSX.... which one...

 

[Speedy Samurai]

This looks like a job for the Speed 12. Am I a sucker for punishment or what?

[Oliver DePlace]

What's a 3pipe?
Half-pipe x6?

 

[miata13B]

Well, on my street production car I ran a 47.8xx which is realtively right behind that Vertigo. . . I feel confident I should jump in a race car for this race .

 

[-Spool-]

I'm going to try my diablo for the hell of it, and just for comparos.... I wanna see what time I can get on my 787B engined LM Rx7

 

[Flerbizky]

The Zonda Race Car...

After playing around with the Pennzoil for an hour or so, I decided to give the Zonda a try.. Knocked 4 seconds off my best in the Pennzoil in 4 laps.. And that was by playing it safe...

Tried to install only NA1 and while still faster (in my hands) it levels the playfield a great deal.. 1195Bhp vs. 925Bhp is just too much to make it funny

 

[-Spool-]

looks like the zonda race car will be a strong runner.... I can't find too much that matches it.... mind you boom will prolly beat us all with a celica gt-four
