Nordschleife Hotlap Challenge
01:59 AM on Dec 18, 2007

Hey, why not?

I'm gonna hold a little competition, a hotlap challenge around the Nurburgring Nordschleife. This is for GTR2, the most updated version, 2.03a by Mojo66 (link), and any car is welcome. Just post up here, specifying which car you drove and what layout of the 'Ring you drove (Tourist, VLN, 24h). If you have a car that you used that isn't a well known mod, maybe post where you got it too? I think we can assume everyone here will be honest, there's nothing to win so no reason to cheat :)

Just a little fun, have some free time over Christmas, try and get around. Enjoy!

I'll start off with my PB around the Tourist layout:

Peugeot 908 LMP1 - 5:48:307 :)

2 and a half laps toady (including outlap), 8:34 in RSR Wideboy, P&G mod. Scraped the wall 4 times, which costed me 3-5 seconds each time.

EDIT: Done with full tank of fuel.

Much more time to be found.

Sounds like fun, as soon as I get my graphics card back I'll give it a go :-)

@Enis: Which layout?

Wow I feel silly. I did a 8:27 in a Viper GTS-R and Enis did within 10 seconds of that in an old Porsche that's nearly impossible to drive. Of course, there was a lot of time to be made up from 3 separate spins but still...

I must be a NOOB,

I'm doing some laps in a P&G Porsche tonight to see what I can do :s

EDIT- Laps in Viper done around the 24h track...duh

8:24.559, 911 RSR Wideboy, Nordschleife Tourist. I reckon I could find 10 more seconds but don't have the will to do that atm.

Ermm, I hope I don't get banned :P

PnG's widebody 911 Porsche

A fantastic track/car combo I must say. Love oldies!

I'll probably give it a go again later and will upload replay/setup if you wish ;)

EDIT: Updated timing. Under 8min possible IMO

Wow that's amazing. I'm going right now to give that a shot, I'll be glad to get within 10 seconds of Enis' time.
