So I've not been on for most Sundays but I've got this one free. So I figure it's time for one of my challenges since it's been so long in coming. Again, since I learned from the last one, you guys don't have a huge amount of patience for standing around doing nothing so this is going to be a race series, but with a budget. Here's the game.

• The Budget is $100,000

• This must be spent on two vehicles. One in the Sports Class, one in the Muscle Class

• You get points deducted from being away from the budget. It's a target, not a cap. For example, if your vehicles come to $999,972 or $100,028, you will lose 28 points.

• We'll do a race playlist but each race done twice, one for Sports, one for Muscle.

• The vehicles will be photographed and submitted to a pair of youtubers for style points.

• You will lose points if other drivers turn up in the same vehicles. This is to promote diversity in the cars.

• The following vehicles are banned: Elegy RH8, Dominator, Sprunk Buffalo, Pißwasser Dominator, Redwood Gauntlet, Burger Shot Stallion

Hope that's clear enough. I'm going to get working on some tracks. Some will be new, some will be my famed 'reverse' versions of classic tracks.

Sounds like fun! One query, hows the bit I've highlighted going to work? First to turn up loses no points but the next person is playing roulette with their car choices?

[challenger001]

No, simpler than that. Say you turn up in a Sultan, and so does someone else, both of you lose 20 points. If three people turn up, all three of you lose 30 points. So if first person does show up with a Sultan-Ruiner combo, choosing the same will affect both of you and give more points to people who are strange and rock a Blista-Faction combo.

[egor110]

You get points deducted from being away from the budget. Rubbish

no collusion allowed either!

[egor110]

Do cosmetic things like resprays have to be counted ?

Ah so its a balancing action? ie those strange strange people rocking the blista/faction combo will be slower in the races than a sultan/ruiner combo but the later would be 20-30 whatever points behind to begin with (two race wins...)

Time to be outside the box methinks!

Yes, but that's mostly so you get as close to the target as possible, since there are bound to be odd numbers and outliers.

[noell35]

Can you buy a phoenix? If you can't what is the value?

[challenger001]

Price list for usable vehicles. Here goes.

Muscle:

Voodoo - $5,500 (Benny's Website)
Rat-Loader - $6,000 (Southern San Andreas Super Autos)
Picador - $9,000 (SSASA)
Ruiner - $10,000 (Stolen off the Street)
Sabre Turbo - $15,000 (Benny's)
Phoenix - $20,000 (Street)
Vigero - $21,000 (SSASA)
Buccaneer - $29,000 (Benny's)
Gauntlet - $32,000 (SSASA)
Moonbeam - $32,500 (Benny's)
Faction - $36,000 (Benny's)
Rat-Truck - $37,500 (SSASA)
Slamvan - $49,500 (SSASA)
Dukes - $62,000 (SSASA)
Stallion - $71,000 (SSASA)
Hotknife - $90,000 (Legendary Motorsport)

Sports:

Futo - $9,000 (Street)
Sultan - $12,000 (Benny's)
Penumbra - $24,000 (SSASA)
Buffalo - $35,000 (SSASA)
Fusilade - $36,000 (SSASA)
Blista Compact - $42,000 (SSASA)
Schwarzer - $80,000 (SSASA)
Kuruma - $95,000 (SSASA)
Buffalo S - $96,000 (SSASA)

Admittedly you'll struggle to not get a penalty with the Kuruma or Buffalo, but if you want to take a sacrifice to points then be my guest. Also if you do take one of the website cars into your garage off the street rather than buying it, you still count as having 'bought' it, and have to put the price in.

[JohnStitch]

So what new car do we get today then? F40 or Diablo? Or neither?

[djdest]

I totally forgot about that, a quick look on GTAforum reveals its the Infernus Classic.
I'm just logging on now for a look

[JohnStitch]

I've just nipped home for lunch and got one, about to go mod it

[JohnStitch]

Hmmm, I like it - although not had a chance to put it through its paces yet...looks good, and I fear our crew colour will now become a rather popular choice for other crews...
