Ok guys, this week's challenge (by request of SIMPLETON):

Arcade mode, Time Trial

Track: Nurburgring Nordschleife

Car: RUF CTR "Yellow Bird" '87

Tyres: Sports Medium

Quicktune: None, car as standard

NO DRIVER AIDS!!!

Just a quick warning before you all start: this car wrote the book on understeer-snap oversteer!!! Also, I think the brakes are made out of chewing gum, they are hopeless! :eek: :D

Back in 1987 this car took the road car record for the Nordschleife in 8'22s. With these tyres you should be able to beat that time fairly easily. I did consider setting the challenge on standard road tyres, but the car was just HORRIBLE to drive.

If you want a few pointers on how it's done you can download the video of the record being set from http://www.aocb77.dsl.pipex.com/RUF.wmv Though I wouldn't really recommend Stefan Roser's wild oversteer approach to every single corner! :p

Did a couple races on arcade mode and noticed all the other F1 cars had 904 HP, while mine had 892 (same as posted by jack). Is it another glitch? Havenīt really done too many of those races...

jack, i, love, you!! thanks for this challenge i cannot wait!


magracer, ive found that depending where you look in the game (garage, pre-race, post race etc) that the HP of any given car changes its really weird

I dunno why that always happens. When you get the car it is supposed to have 900bhp but as soon as you get into it to drive, it drops down to 892. :confused:

Though it's only 8bhp, less than 1% of the total power, it ain't gonna make that much difference!

my word, that guy is an absolutely HORRIBLE driver! ive seen that video before and frankly i'm shocked to find out that THAT ws the world record :(

edit: and are you sure thats 1987? because the first car he passed looked suspiceously like a smart car

Hats off to Jack, dont know where you pulled out an extra second and a half on my lap, I reckon I could have gone a few tenths faster, but not the margin you got! Seriously well done mate!! Chuffed for being second twice now, this weeks is gonna be tough though!!!

i love this comp, first lap a low 8'25 with lots of crashes, so its easily obtainable to get 8'22

Hey, if you guys wanted to go ice racing there are some ice and snow races in the rally section! LOL!

Naw, at first this car seems impossible but then you learn you just gotta grab it by the scruff of the neck and DRIVE IT!

Totally agree. First lap I was like :eek: , it had been ages since I spun so much and I was getting really frustrated. Specially hard as we are coming from the F1. Then you learn that its all about slow in, fast out; late braking is definite no no; but left foot braking is GO!

this car went into the WAY TOO HARD basket for the wheel... my skills just aren't a match for this car with the wheel... however with the controller this thing is ****en awesome.. the brake induced rear steering is especially nice... i managed well under 8 minutes for the first lap... which included 3 fatal crashes to spins and a partridge in a pear tree.. nice ar and comp though... oh and congrats Jack... again... couldn't find the time last week to get the car and then do the comp...

Btw I read in a magazine Nick Heidfeld loves this game aswell and he says his lap record is 6.04 on the ring with an Opel Astra DTM V8 Max tune minimal weight super soft, I got 6,25 on my first run I bet you guys can kill this time especially J_B

It feels so good when you manage to hold a controlled drift you simply have to go watch it!

We should save the "Heidfeld challenge" for next week...

You need to complete the Nurburgring 24hr Endurance Race to win the Formula GT car. :)

Changed the gearing in the Astra and on my third lap I'm in the 6:04's, so I could prolly get it down to 6:02 which means Jack would be 5:45! LOL!

Run, Nick, run!

You guys have too much time on your hands!

I can barely put enough laps together to post a decent time for a challenge a week.

Are you guys doing the heidfeld challenge in arcade or GT mode?

Don't think anyone was serious about it being the next comp. It's just a side project for curiousity sake.

I was!

But what the heck... first lap 6.24, second lap (tuning top speed) 6.10, third lap 6.05.5 (fine tuning top speed)...

Now back to the ruf. This is going to hurt.

I got tired of fighting the Ruf after about 6 laps.

I usually do 5 lap stints (increasing intensity) but with this one the longest was probably 1 and 3/4 laps.

If the game charged for damage I would be broke due to totalled yellow birds.
