GT4 christmas challenge

[whittaker52]

Lotus Elise 111R -
Racing Exhaust system,
NO other power mods, not even NOS! - should give a total power of 202BHP.
You are allowed -
Racing brakes,
Brake controller,
full racing suspension,
fully customisable transmission,
triple plate clutch,
racing flywheel,
fully customisable LSD
and you are to use Racing tyres with -
Super hard tyres up front, and racing hard tyres at the back.
You are also allowed to increase the rigidity of the car, and use all 3 stages of the weight reduction.

If you want to use the driving aids, then i found using around 4 on the understeer setting made the car work extremely well.

Now take a trip around the Nürburgring Nordschleife and try to get your best time. You should be able to easily achieve a time sub 8 and a half mins.

hmmm, interesting. I might try this, now that my broken hand has healed enough for me to dust off the wheel...

Well i got 8 mins and 7 seconds. That was with three big off's. I was also trying to remember the setting (but couldn't), so it was with just Sports Normal tires on.

I haven't played for ages, so that why it was such a bad performance. Might try again this weekend.

Put in a quick 7'47.701 with a spin and a couple of offs. Slightly different spec though....I opted out of the brake controller, fully custom transmission and weight reduction and replaced it with Racing Hard tyres all round.

[whittaker52]

7:46.283 with a few minor off track excursions, but with originally stated spec.

Is anyone still doing this challenge?
Best so far is a 7.41.274 using the original setup.
To start with I found the car was bouncing around all over the place so I had a play with the suspension set-up.
Not a perfect lap by any means, so still room for improvement.

[Raify]

That's pretty quick. My first effort was 7.42.

What suspension settings have you found to stop it bouncing off the track?

[Raify]

7.39 but there's some more time to be had there, I'm sure.
