Does anyone else enjoy Kei cars on Matterhorn and Eiger? Just wondering. I had a 250PP "Japanese makes only" room open last night and there were no takers.

Not GT, but I had the thought last night that some laps around Le Mans or Fujimi in F-Class cars in Fourtza would be hilarious.

Yeah, I like it sometimes. But I'm never on my Playstation.

In GT, both the Eiger and Matterhorn series of tracks have steep hills. The Mazda Carol (pictured above) has 215 performance points. It's like 17 HP or something. It literally will not make it up the hill unless you take it upon yourself to perform switchbacks back and forth across the road. I think it could facilitate some really crazy wheel-to-wheel racing.

LeMans night be boring, just because you'd max out on the straights and have no opportunity for variations in skill. I love the way these underpowered cars give so much emphasis to momentum-conservation in driving.

Wrong cars. What you need is the Hyundai click type-R or the VW lupo cup car. Fast enough to be fun, slow enough to be hilarious.

I'd make sure I raced on the new Mulsanne with the chicanes, but yes, that distance bouncing on the limiter would be boring. I will look into making cars that are so slow they can't top out, or setting the limit so high that there isn't enough track to reach it.

Also, if you can race downhill, I saw on the Forza Forums someone suggested gravity-racing. Wherein you tune a car for the course, but hold the clutch in the entire race so it's only gravity propelling you down the track.

Momentum racing at it's best, since you'd have to brake for turns, but only just since you'd not have an engine to power you out of the corner.

Lupo cup is a damn fun car. I haven't tried the Click.

Next time I'm on, I'll put up a post. I have a microphone now!

I also did a Honda Life Step Van on Matterhorn, and half the race is coasting at the limiter. Much of other half is picking your 1-2 shift points to balance between hitting the limiter in first and bogging in second.

I've never done much (read that as any) online GT6-ing, but I think stupidly underpowered cars that won't make it up a hill would be fun. Provided that everything was taken with a grain of salt and no one got completely upset about any degree of Cole Trickle-ing that might go on.

And I pity you all if you didn't get that reference.

Love it. Nobody ever wants to do this.

I also always want to race on comfort hard tires, because the fastest way to corner with those is in a zero countersteer small angle drift.
