I sense there will be a bit of controversy over this scenario...

[Klon]

I sense there will be a bit of controversy over this scenario...

Controversy creates cash ... wohoo, I am rich.

[AdrianSutil]

I was going to use the Renault 5 rally car for Monaco but I'd already tuned it past the limit and couldn't remember where I got it in the game.

I own 122 cars on GT4, should find something rapid.

[Priceless]

Here's the video for 2-4...

and I have a question. "The ugliest car (in your opinion) you own" means the car that's in my garage only taking into account its state at the time the scenario was posted, or the car I can get and do a lap with in time to meet the deadline that I find the ugliest?

My garage has only 40-odd cars now, and I have a 19% completion rate (I started this season from a new save), by the way...

EDIT: I already have two candidates, among those I own right now (haven't bought or gained any new cars yet), but those aren't going to be fast at all...

Spend a couple days improving your game completion and you should find something suitable. I've completed 71% so I'll have no problem

[MinardiFan95]

I'd set a quick lap time in the Renault 5 Rally Car for this scenario... but forgot to submit the time

Well, ideally it would be to use the ugliest car you actually have in your garage at the moment. But since I have no way of checking this, you can let it roll and buy one.

[Stramala]

In my opinion the Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak Edition must be the ugliest car on GT2...

A mixture of work and being off sick (genuinely) means I haven't had any more chances to play GT2 since I last promised...I really hope I can FINALLY do another round.

That's what I also thought, but wouldn't be it unfair against the others?

[MinardiFan95]

Out of the over 900 cars I have in GT5, I settled upon this odd looking 2001 Toyota WiLL VS, which I resprayed in Pumpkin Yellow (more like puke yellow if you ask me). Was considering calling the X2010 ugly in an excuse to win, but that would be disrejectful. see what I did there?

[Peter]

I wouldn't mind joining in on this, but i'm afraid i'll go all Michael Schumacher on you all . Kidding, of course, but I don't have the time to at the moment.

[Wizzie]

I think I'm about to be sick.

[MinardiFan95]

I wouldn't mind joining in on this, but i'm afraid i'll go all Michael Schumacher on you all . Kidding, of course, but I don't have the time to at the moment.

But I need some competition in the GT5 championship...

[Shizuka]

I'm skipping this round. I do not want to be related to the two Suzuki übercars, that's just unfair against others who doesn't get to drive them.

[Priceless]

I went with this... don't think it can get uglier.

Finally the results are posted!

BTW, I have great taste but I'll take the extra point any day thank you very much.

[WeirdKerr]

On a side note i just logged in on GT5 and was given the X2010

[Stramala]

I have a problem. My GT2 disc is no longer working

I'm trying to find a PAL ISO to use with ePSXe but so far can't find any working downloads.

[Reverie Planetarian]

We need to celebrate by doing a time trial series. I propose we call it the "And WHAT is F1R DOING? Extreme Series by Red Bull."

I have, a few hours ago, just put my copy of GT5 into my PS3 to play for the first time, but did not get an X2010. Was it a limited-time offer or something?

not sure.... but an update just became available today (update 2.0) and next week (oct 18 ) they are releasing some lovely DLC packs one of which has that famous track in the Ardennes

[Reverie Planetarian]

Speaking of that there is also an X2011 in that DLC pack, so if you don't have one of these super-duper-ubercars yet, you can have one then.

[Shizuka]

I'm trying to find a PAL ISO to use with ePSXe but so far can't find any working downloads.

Is it important to be a PAL version?

[MinardiFan95]

I'm going to use a SuperGT Lexus SC430 driven by Tora Takagi for this challenge, which would mean it would be the first race car driven by an F1 Reject to be used in one of these challenges. Hopefully I can get the DLC before the deadline so I can use Perry McCarthy's (black Stig's to be more precise) racing gear.

[Priceless]

Here is my video for 2-6. I already have 2-7 recorded, but I still have to preprocess it before uploading, and as I forgot to adjust Fraps' settings while recording, the quality won't be all that good...

[RealRacingRoots]

I will be willing to throw myself into the battle for the Bruno Senna trophy starting next round. I got the resources to capture footage and upload to youtube like Priceless. You ready for a battle MinardiFan?

[the Masked Lapwing]

When was the deadline for this again?

[Shizuka]

"Deadline: 20th October 2011, 20:00 CEST"

Not bad.

Hey, stop being so monochronic.

How in the heck am I six seconds slower than someone in the same car??? Am I a reject or something??

[Klon]

And what is McClean doing?

[Wizzie]

And what is McClean doing?

And LOOK AT THAT! The Masked Lapwing, whose identity is only known to certain individuals, has pulled a mega, MEGA move on McClean. (Sorry Phoenix, couldn't resist )

[Shizuka]

Interesting idea. Seems like I will use that certain car which has a GT1 model whom I like to call Black Velvet.

[JeremyMcClean]

Unfortunate news as for some reason my GT4 file got corrupted and I can't access it. Until I either find a way to make it un-corrupted or when I find out how to get good cars again with the new file, I can't participate in the series. Good news, I submitted my times yesterday, I think. More good news, I know which car to buy when I do get those funds

EDIT - I now have the funds to continue with the series. I don't have all the tracks yet though

[Shizuka]

I know I'm late, but can I send my time in tonight?

[Klon]

I don't see why not...

[Shizuka]

Already sent. I don't understand why the video was faster than usually it is... I might have messed up that emulator. Weird.

[Klon]

I need your opinion: would you count this as wallriding? To be honest, I'd say it is. And if it is, I must consider disregarding Shizuka's time. While I admittedly never said that wallriding is forbidden, it is still a d*ck move. I let you be the judge on this one - so, as of now, these results are provisional and not official until further review.
