I hate Hong Kong, but I'll give it a go. Races cars ok w/production body like DTM's, GT's and T1's.

Sounds good to me.... basically anything up to, but not including the Toyota GT-One and the like. If it looks like it could have been a street car at one point, AOK.

Do we want to just open it up to any drivetrain? On these tracks i don't see 4wd having a real big advantage, if any.

I'll start tonite. I've had a rough week and don't feel like doing anything tonite, so i'll play video games.

I ran an FD Race version around the tracks last night... what a difference you need in car setups! I must be a real dick to choose these three tracks!

Alright, i'm sitting at a 1:10.xxx on Hong Kong, and a 3:27.xxx on CdS. The Ring is pissing me off badly.

LM Camaro with very little time or tuning. Turned out to be a busy weekend..... Hong Kong 1:18.467 Sarth 3:50.350 (sort of ironic if you look closely... and 6:51.029 for the ring.

My best ring pass is always my first. I hate that simulation with a passion.

Alright:

Hong Kong - 1:08.657
Sarthe w/ Chicanes - 3:21.444
The Ring - 6:18.219 (ARGGGG needs moar suspension travel)

Total: 10:48.320

Done in the Xanavi JGTC 01 Skyline.

I could get faster in Hong Kong and Sarthe with both the Nissan Pitwork Motul M 350z and the R390 GT1 road car, but the ring was impossible with those cars.

Yeah, i anticipate you killing me on the Ring. I could have gotten another 5 seconds or so out of Sarthe, i had a pretty serious bobble in the last few curves on that lap, but i was sick of trying to get a perfectly clean lap in.

Hong Kong... don't know how much more i could have gotten out of it. I'm pretty bad at that track.

Were you using the LM RX7?

Gearheadotaku, what's your input on the next Challenge? Seems like John and i usually come up with everything, it's your turn now.

Trial Mountain, Laguna Seca, and the small Autumn Drive track. (i'll get the exact name tonite, or might change it.) Definitely the first two.

Race tires plox!

Oh mannnnnn... i think i just sold that last night trying to get money to finish tweaking my Skyrine.

I'll check. Man, that thing is going to be a hoot around Trial Mountain.

Gearheadotaku, what's the rules?

John Brown

Never sell cars, just run special stages and sell off the Toyota RSC
