24 Hour Online Nürburgring Charity Run - Any Takers?
I'm not sure yet, if I'll be able to join you for the real 24 hours yet, but I'll help you in the stress test if you need another driver.
" @StaticFalconar Need to unlock the course first, then I can try my heavily tuned Prius Touring. I don't think it's capable of posting nine minutes, but it can exceed 200 km/hr on straightaways, so at least it'll be interesting. Anyway, I got nine minutes on the nose for the stock Lupo Cup Car during the Lupo Cup event. It's not totally official, but I think it'd work the same in time trial. "My Lupo is far from stock so I ain't running that. However this time attack nearly gave me a heart attack, FN prius can't do more than 120mph on the straight.
Boom beat 9 minutes, so 24 hours in that?
Or perhaps something with more power, but still just as absurd.
Tank Car can break 8 minutes SUCKA!!!!!!
If I could actually tune a Go kart to have some suspensions to absorb the bumps and higher top speed sacrificing acceleration I bet I could also get that thing around the ring in less then 9 minutes as well. And that thins has 33 hp only.
I just don't know that much about cars, or Gran Turismo for that matter. I just start with horsepower, look at the weight, the price, etc.
What is absurd for sure is the Tank car just because nobody actually expects anyone to do a time trial in that, as well as the sheer weight and most parts come from old tour/city buses.
You can win one in the ...
or buy one in the used market. I've got one if you want to borrow it.
" @StaticFalconar: Where did you get the Catherham by the way? I've been looking all over for that little gem of a car. "Only two ways and they both involve the used car lot. So either the catarham itslef appears for 50 Grand or you get the GT Grand turismo (GT own version of an F1 car), and do the GT race which your reward will be a catarham. As soon as I somehow get another one, I'm gonna share that online so GB race nights will have some go karts and advanced go karts in the form of catarham.
" @eroticfishcake said:Oh cool. I actually have the Stealth Model cars so I *might* be already covered in that department. I'll keep an eye out for the F1 car as well though. Cheers mate!" @StaticFalconar: Where did you get the Catherham by the way? I've been looking all over for that little gem of a car. "Only two ways and they both involve the used car lot.

" @extremeradical:An i-MiEV? ( I have one gathering dust in the garage you can try) "I guess? I didn't even know it was in this game.
Also bought myself the Logitech driving wheel, ought to make the race more interesting.
EDIT: There will be more GT-Planet users so don't do anything silly.
EDIT2: Shit going down at 8 p.m., be there.
" @KaosAngel: Which timezone are we 8 PM-ing in? Also, are we using mics in-game or through Vent? "Also, I need to know
I was mistaken, you need to get Gold on all intermediate AMG special events to unlock the Nurburgring 24 hour.
" @FrankCanada97 said:I guess the latest update solves that problem now, eh?" I was mistaken, you need to get Gold on all intermediate AMG special events to unlock the Nurburgring 24 hour. ":| So we need to get a GTP guy to host it, unless someone here can do it. "
Seeing how the GTP thread keeps dying I made a new account here
Anywho, I wonder if we should set the weather conditions to variable, as im only 40 minutes into my 9 hour A-spec and im already bored :x
I think we should go over breaks some more
I tried doing a 9 hour in one run and got a horrible headache =/
