BCF Gran Turismo 5 challenge

[Slacker24seve...]

Hi all.

Another forum I'm a member of is doing this and I thought it was a cracking idea. We pick a car, preferably a slow one that is cheap and we can all drive relatively easily. Something like a mini is ideal. Set a lowish bhp, tyre and weight limit, no driver aids except ABS and possibly TC. Do a race with it, decent length as in about 10 laps. Possibly even a fortnightly series if we get enough interest.

If enough of you would be interested I'd be happy to provide a prize car for the winner. Thoughts on tracks and car type welcome, at the moment I reckon minis, mx5s and that sort of price range for the car, 200bhp for power and somewhere like Tsukuba for the track.

Oh and driving like a cock will result in a ban!

I think this is a good idea - I'd be up for it, but would prefer it with quicker cars!

when there was that 350z special tournament event on during the day of gt5p i actually managed to finish in the top 100 of the world lol and that was on pro physics so i can do it if i practice enough, i just dont find it as rewarding as standard mode because its much harder to be the hero , i used to race intermediate suzuka all the time on gt5p too and normally won as i would spend days tuning and setting cars to make them the fastest. but the best way to go round there fast is to set the car for mild drifting which only really works well on standard mode and not pro so im no stranger to tuning and setups, i just prefer the experience of standard physics. Maybe my opinion would change if i got a decent wheel and pedals but on the pad i like it much better on normal.

I'll have a go at that. Somebody has to be last, after many many visits to the gravel trap.

I think we should do the Nurburgring with F1 Cars, or something to that respect.

I dont think many folk will have an F1 car.

Closest I can get to that is the Peugeot HDi FAP.

I know what you mean, I've only just got the FGT - it is great for high-speed races, but oversteers like anything in 2nd - 4th gears. On the 'ring it would just be all over the place!

On another note, anyone used the Hayabusa concept car (I think it is called Suzuki GSX-R Concept)? That thing can beat cars with 3x as much power!

Slower cars generally result in closer racing too especially if they are FWD
