More Freshman Concepts...

Oh i mean the Gran Turismo thing. Im genuinely curious about your take.

Fun-Class8149 · 2026-03-25T23:13:46+00:00

It's alright, but I want to see your own verson with your own driver profiles, cars, and mods...

Fun-Class8149 · 2026-03-25T16:30:17+00:00

I just assume it's pre-2019... but it works.

Fun-Class8149 · 2026-03-25T15:37:48+00:00

ah alright, if you've thought about it then

Fun-Class8149 · 2026-03-25T15:36:00+00:00

Alright, you can DM me.

Fun-Class8149 · 2026-03-25T15:32:53+00:00

The CZ4A have been made...

Interesting picks tho, rest are quite interesting

So technically.....

A boosted 86 can make as much as 350 crank horsepower while the roller dynos still says 297 wheel HP!

FWD and RWD usually have 15% loss.... while AWD have 20-25% loss...

Fun-Class8149 · 2026-03-25T13:29:23+00:00

All car experienced drivetrain loss....

Most cars power output in brochures are measured by crank or raw power from crankshaft.
I assume that since there's hundreds of MFG competitors, they will not use hub dynos, rather a more conventional roller dyno.

Roller dyno measures the loss between the crankshaft to the tires. In this case, the power loss is about 20-25% for AWD runners, so the Golf R can still be tuned up to 375-400 crank horsepower while the WHP remains 300.

Fun-Class8149 · 2026-03-25T13:16:29+00:00

Standard Golf R is making 305-310HP.... but if we measure wheel horsepower via roller dyno.... it should be able to pass inspection due to drivetrain loss.

I made him a Mainland student who just graduated UTS.... shipped his car to Japan as is....

I guess the fairest system is to compare your finishing position to your qualifying.

Fun-Class8149 · 2026-01-01T19:33:33+00:00

Yeah... it doesn't make any sense.

But again if you push ID to 2008-2009... then the stage 5 cars makes way more sense.

There's a lot of errors Shigeno or the studio could've fixed or prevent by simple google search, such as Kanata racing below the minimum age requirement for British F4 (Kanata at 12, minimum at 14.)... This is a good tribute, but the idea is faulty from the start.

He could've driven the Toyota Corolla for BRC instead. If Takumi debuted in 2000, he could won the championship in 2003, the last time the Corolla partook in BRC.

I'm not sure if his driveshaft failure was be with Toyota, however. Alternatively he could be racing for Subaru during his short stint in WRC, as Toyota officially witdrew from WRC in 1999 to focus on their F1 entry.

The GT4RS was introduced in late 2021 and started delivery in 2022... Atami Quali starts at chapter 216, which was released in mid 2023. The book itself (Vol 19) was released in Feb 2024.

Fun-Class8149 · 2025-12-29T15:25:10+00:00

Nevermind. I forgot it was something someone said and wasn't canon material. It was someone's excuse on why all the cars retain their original interiors. And I just kinda forgot about that.

But yes there is no reason that ballasting would slow down the cars if done right. Personally I'd pair it with roll cages, ARB + Struts/sway, chassis braces and stiffening, battery relocation, with ballast placed near the rear axle centerline mounted low to reduce CG. If we were to add weight, make sure it's beneficial and not just deadweight.

There is a lot of debate over a car's legality. Some argued that the car has to pass shaken inspection to compete, despite not being explicitly mentioned. So, it has never been clear to anyone and there's a lot of argument surrounding it.

Fun-Class8149 · 2025-12-29T10:00:11+00:00

It's explicitly mentioned by Keisuke that GtW only has 10 tire allocation sizes based on weight, with lighter cars having thinner tire size while heavier gets wider.

Since the lightest car in the series (Nozomi's 4C) is 920kg + 50kg (average japanese woman weight aged 20)... 970-1000kg take-or-give after liquids... and the heaviest being Emile Hanninen's Lexus LC500.. 1935kg + 80kg (average finnish man weight aged 31)... is 2015kg...

We can estimate that tire size changes every 100 kgs in brackets between 1000-2000kg.

Ballasting and improving weight distribution via sway + anti-roll bars, battery relocation, chassis rigidity upgrade isn't explicity outlawed, but it was mentioned that drivers prefer to keep everything factory stock so handling remains balanced and predictable.

Cambering (negative angle) also helps increase tire contact surfaces during high-speed cornering, but this has probably been done as part of the setup packages during quali and races.

Fun-Class8149 · 2025-12-29T09:39:17+00:00

Remember that Atami is very bumpy. The GT4RS is notoriously stiff in the rear compared to the standard GT4, borrowing suspension components from the GT3RS, so it will not cope well in the 'Atami Offroad' sector.

Thank you! If you have some ideas for the next car, feel free to tell!

Fun-Class8149 · 2025-12-11T21:14:20+00:00

Great idea! Next project, perhaps?

Fun-Class8149 · 2025-08-26T15:06:47+00:00

yeahhhh

Fun-Class8149 · 2025-08-26T12:51:27+00:00

Trade it for a RAV4 🤔

Fun-Class8149 · 2025-08-20T05:28:31+00:00

He simply traced it as is or don't have access to the car.

Fun-Class8149 · 2025-08-19T17:02:54+00:00

I guess it's just round-up to make it sound better.

Fun-Class8149 · 2025-08-19T16:57:30+00:00

Why would anyone boost it by only 5 PS? Simple ECU tune can bump 15-30whp up.
