GT6 Nürburgring Production Car Time Trial Competition.

[Forgetful]

Welcome to the DriverSports.org GT6 Nürburgring Production Car Time Trial Competition. 

This is an open invitation to run any production street car, in stock form, around the Nordschleife in an effort to compile a comprehensive list of Green Hell lap times for the street cars of Gran Turismo 6.

To participate your car must be considered a 'production' model', all modifications must be removed, and it must be equipped with the default tires it was purchased with. Oil changes, body rigidity restoration, and engine overhaul are allowed, as are custom rims and paint. Custom aero parts are not allowed.

All laps are to be run in 'Free Run' mode. Go to Garage>Test Drive>World Circuits>Nürburgring Nordschleife Weather: Variable / Time: Variable. Time and weather settings are open. Figuring out the ideal conditions should be a bit of a challenge.

It is your choice between manual or automatic transmissions. The Driving Line is optional. Active Steering is prohibited. Traction Control is optional. Active Stability Management is prohibited. ABS is optional. Skid Recovery Force is prohibited (off). Grip Reduction on Wet Track/Track Edge (found under Course Settings) must be set to 'Real'. This one is easy to miss.

To be counted a lap must be considered clean and legal. No contact of any kind with barriers or cones, and with at least two wheels of the same side of the car on or inside the white line or adjacent red/white curbing throughout the lap.

Legal:

Illegal:

Post your time with the full car name, your PSN name, the full lap time, the date the lap was run, the tires used and the PP of the car. Please save your replay for posterity. I can also upload fast and unique laps. It is also good form to include a photomode picture from your run, just so we can ogle the pretty cars.

Don't feel obliged to run the fastest cars, but glory awaits the fastest of the fast. The more diversity the better, however, again, please stick to 'normal production' cars. You can run a car that someone else has already run. Rankings will be sorted fastest car first with slower drivers in the same car listed underneath.

I've created a blog at http://driversports.kinja.com/ and will be pushing this competition on http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/.

It is correct to assume that the 15th Anniversary Editions are not production and not legal, even if GT6 does allow them for events that are production only?

[Forgetful]

I believe they are modified from the original cars, so no go.

That's what I'd assumed but wanted to have it posted early in the thread for newcomers. Folks coming to the thread, not the aliens from Alien Nation.


Too much nerdism?

Forgetful,   for putting a Lotus on the top of the leaderboard. You nasty Zondas and GTRs stay away!

[Revengel]

Ok, what a difference tires make.

I'll post the official stuff later but a Dino at 420 > Trans Am (Wonderland) at 421.

By half a minute.


Eventually I'll do a CTS-V against a 288 GTO. Both are 528 IIRC.

Time: 8:26.778
PP: 420
Tires: Sports Hard

Lesson?

 
Neither time is fab, but I wanted to get back in the habit of this.

Don't worry, there's a GTO in my garage that's just waiting it's turn to take down the Lotus.

Just FYI Stephen, I linked to this on the GT5 Autocrosser group over on Facebook (~95 members), so there may be a few new guys poking around.

Sweet.

hello, all.  I saw this event listed on the GT autocrossers group.  Registered here, I guess that makes me the new girl.

I am not very fast, but I'll submit my time for the '04 WRX STi Spec C.  As delivered - no changes - 8.21.423

EDIT:  8.15.272

I believe that 8:06 was a good real world time for one of these - by "Gan San" (Kurosawa Motoharu) of Best Motoring fame....but I'd love to see what you talented people can do with her.

Welcome rapid butterfly. Glad to have you. Keep cutting down those lap times

Can you check and see what tires were on there? Probably SH, but just want to be sure. Also need the listed Performance Points (PP) and controller type.

Also, you said 'as delivered', just remember you can do the oil change to gain the few extra hp from the magic racing oil.

Time is posted, just needs some updates.

hi everyone! - thank you for letting me be a part of this.  

PP - 478 - (I did the oil change right after the car was purchased - very nice gain in hp / tq - I just repeated it with another to make sure - it appears to  be plus-8 PP)
Tires - SH
controller - DS3

PSN name - rapid_butterfly

All updated, thanks again!

[rapid butterfly]

updated best - 8.12.784 - all car details the same, still the 04 WRX Spec C as set forth above. (sorry if I am posting too much)

[side note, polandball thing is totally beyond me]

Feel free to update your times as often as you like.

I certainly don't get all of the Polandball comics, but when I do I feel smart. Definitely had to look up a few flags to make sense of some of them.

[rapid butterfly]

unsure why I tried this, but:

El Camino SS 396 '67 
SH
PP - (with oil change) 460
DS3
8.41.281

[Forgetful]

Because utes are inherently cool... like wagons, shooting brakes and diesels.

I meant new guy's girl's avatar is noice.  Pink ftw.  Not so much for the Polandball.

Two out of three ain't bad.

Is that thing on the rev limiter much?

Clearly you don't hang out on the same car blog I do. The ultimate car is a brown manual diesel wagon Miata.
