Good luck to all who opt to participate!

This sounds interesting. Maybe I'll start playing GT5 again for this

i wanna try too... lemme set up a car.

Ah, good! I was hoping people still played GT5.

Post up your PSN's btw if you guys want to do practices or just fun runs (keep in mind lap times for the Ultimate Lap Battles challenge can only be set in offline solo practice).

PSN is in my signature. I'll do the EK challenge some time next week

What are the track conditions?

Car should be 229HP correct? I had a fully tuned race mod EK and put everything to standard

I didn't see your edit on this (since I didn't get the notification for a new post), but I will have to check on this when I get home, or if backalleyracer gets to it before I do. I don't know what track conditions can be changed in Practice mode, I just went straight to Grand Valley East. Neither of us use TCS/Stability, ABS is on 1.

Fuel Consumption, tire wear, driving aids, etc.

Ah.. Tire wear was on, which I think is also linked to fuel consumption. Our times were set with full tanks though, we didn't bother using the pits to refresh the tires, just restarted the practice session. Driving aids are open for this first round at least, but please say which ones you're using. We never use TCS/STC personally, but the ABS keeps it from just becoming a chore to try to drive.

no takers on this epic challenge?! Or is the game just too old these days... =D

well this went far

Just stumbled upon this. I'll post some times this weekend.

Maybe, i wil participate!

I would LOVE to participate in this,but too bad, I don't have a PS3

And I don't think I'll be getting one any sooner

Feel free to add our PSN's as well, it's good to have some fun and practice with others from time to time.

Has anyone even tried yet? >.<

I'm in a race league but in Forza 4, it's VERY active and competitive! Always racing for fastest times and positions. Teams of two, so 2 Ferrari, 2 Porshe, 2 Lambo players etc.

We race every Sunday @ 7 Mountain time. Currently on a week break due to the Superbowl. We have 3 races left this season and we're running ALMS cars currently.

We're always looking for new players to join.Here is our Facebook page and we keep track of points and and next season will be driving Australian V8's.

If you wish to join, just join the page or send me a PM on here and i'll invite you to the Group and just introduce yourself and tell them Jonathan brought you into the group and you met me on the ID forum.

All this grand valley action got me in a vid making mood ... look out for a vid on grand valley coming soon ...

Damn you guys... I could only get 1'12'656

My biggest problem with me are the corners before the tunnel. I either brake way too late for the corner right before the tunnel and diving in the inside first on that same corner has made me lose a lot of time. Then whenever I do get my line correct I seem to go too fast to the point where I understeer.

Oh well, I will keep trying until I can get to at least 1'11 lol

@FC_Spec

Man I would so love to join your league but unfortunately I don't have an X360. Even if I were to invest in one, I don't think I would want to get rid of my Logitech G27.

thats a vid of me doing it with the my NSX, the lines can still relate to the civic so hopefully you see some points where you can make changes in ur driving :>.

I could probably break 1'11 with the civic, need to play more though

Did you just pop that NSX up on two tires just through weight transfer?!

Nice time, but did you check the spec on your EK9 RM? If you're able to break into sub-1'11 then something definitely isn't right! It took Aaron and I a fair bit of time to break down to the sub-1'12 range and we're both pretty experienced.

Yep my civic is exactly to the dot of the rules, bought a new one to make sure its exactly as you guys wanted.

My normal civic is yellow like the one in intial D xD

It only took me about an hour to get that time with the civic, im sure if i sit down and play the track for a week ill be able to get into 1'10's ^^.

And yep that I have trouble with certain cars popping up on 2 wheels, im not that great at controlling that yet, i try exit too fast.

The FC was a nightmare, always going on 2 wheels, i had to change the ballast settings and add like 30kg so it would stop doing that.

edit: Maybe it was driver aids, do you guys leave SRF on for time attacks or off ?

We don't use any aids aside from ABS, I'm not sure what SRF is. Even with any aids, I can't imagine breaking 1'11 with what we had, are you on sports soft or racing softs? It's possible that the answer could lie in the tune, we left stock settings for all our time attacks, but a full second is pretty crazy difference for this car. Even the mildest improvements we could have made in laps would have maybe amounted to the 11.6xx if we ran an amazingly perfect lap... or maybe I'm not as good as I thought! Once backalley fixes my wheel we'll have to have some head-to-head fun and see if I can't learn what I'm doing wrong, cause I've never even seen the two-wheel popup issue come into play with my driving.
