Acarde Mode, no assists.
Track - Monaco (aka Cote d'Azur)
Car - BMW F1 McLaren GTR. If someone doesn't have that one, we'll go with the Ruf RGT '00.

Rules:
Tires - Racing Soft (BMW) or the softest allowed for the Ruf.
No Wall Racing! We'll use the "honors system" for this track. If you hit a wall "too hard", throw out that lap. You can graze the wall, but I'll leave it up to your fair judgement as to what is too hard.

Results
------------------------------------
1. Conan 1:23.489
2. John 1:23.556
3. kbrew 1:25.848

Thank goodness I didn't have to win anything to go to Monaco... my favorite!!

We'll be able to culminate the week by watching the race on national TV next weekend too :D

Hopefully I have the car... I assume it would be in the BMW section? If its an unlockable car, do you remember how to unlock it? BMW Specific race maybe? ... just in case

[Conan]

Looks like you have to win the Gran Turismo All Stars race to unlock the BMW McLaren F1 GTR.

[Conan]

Stack, let me know if you don't have the BMW. We'll just use the Ruf RGT '00.

I gotta steal your memory card Conan or actually just replicate yours onto mine here tonight or tomorrow cause I dont have the track. I cant wait to drive this baby....I'll pretend I am Schumi. :)

I cant wait to drive this baby....I'll pretend I am Schumi. :)Are you sure?? What section did you look under: World Circuits, City, etc ?? Cote d'Azure is under City tracks.

[jstecher]

I'll have to check again tonight. If not I will just stop over and steal your info.

1:27.503 after a 32oz Dos Equis for dinner :p

[cavlino]

No fair :( I waited forever to get a game station and then I go and pick an XBox, what was I thinking! Hmm, I did buy it before Trackpedia was born though ... Oh well if you ever pick a track that is on Forza Motorsports then I will play along.

[kbrew8991]

you can get a new PS2 slim for around $99-$129 depending on retailer, rebates, etc

If I'm lucky Toycar1 will read this and think about getting it for my Birthday :D

[Conan]

Ok, I did 1:23.489 in the McLaren. And in case Stack says he just can't unlock the car, I did a couple of laps in the Ruf to get an initial time of 1:46.021.

[Stack]

City circuits huh? I was all ready to bow out of this one without even starting since like John, I didn't think I had the track either LOL...

I don't have the McLaren, but since everyone else does, don't worry about me :)

If I find a few minutes to unlock it I will, but don't change it just for me... if history repeats, I won't be in contention anyway.

I'll just sit back and enjoy the competition :D

[jstecher]

Conan has already run the Ruf so we could easily change it. The more the merrier. I will get some seat time in both cars tonight.

[kbrew8991]

1:25.848 in the McLaren. apparently being heavily buzzed only adds 2 seconds to my time, heh

1:46.980 in 5 laps in the RUF. thats all the patience I have for that understeering, drum brake'd pos right now

Thanks for the accomodations... but it really doesn't look like I'll get any seat time this weekend... lots of house/track duties I've been neglecting ... not to mention Stanley Cup Conference Finals start this weekend!!

Besides... I don't even think I have the '00 Ruf. Only one I saw was the Yellow Bird (which I did a 1:36.xxx in btw - - good or bad?)

[Stack]

OK... well... had a few minutes tonight to get in some laps (the checkbook can wait LOL)

Did a 1:44.914 Ruf '00 Sport Soft tires

There were a couple light grazes... no wall riding though... FWIW :D

[Conan]

Well, I say Stack is the winner this week since he didn't have the BMW McLaren and turned in the best time in the Ruf. So what's it gonna be, Stack?

'Tell you what... since you won in the McLaren, and I won in the Ruf... you pick the track, I'll pick the car :D

[Conan]

'Tell you what... since you won in the McLaren, and I won in the Ruf... you pick the track, I'll pick the car :DUhg. Sorry so late getting back to this. How 'bout "Citti d'Aria"? That track is pretty fun and very challenging to acutally be fast on.

[Stack]

Uhg. Sorry so late getting back to this. How 'bout "Citti d'Aria"? That track is pretty fun and very challenging to acutally be fast on.

haha... great minds think alike I guess :) That was a close second to my first choice of Paris... I'll try to pick an appropriate car. Look for something later tonight

[Stack]

ok... new contest is up and running...
