Expert Level Non-Racecar Challenge
    Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit
    Period of Availability: 07/09/2014 23:00 – 07/23/2014 23:00
    600PP Max, Sports/Soft compounds or less
    Gold: 145,000cr, Silver: 87,000cr, Bronze: 72,500cr
    Gift: Pearl Orange

Dude! There's your bank!

Use the '11 SRT Charger at 525PP

A win, if you get it, is 290,000 credits, but for you it is the experience that will help you more. ;)

I wound up trying the Viper SRT10 '08 '06 stock with an oil change is 541pp. I did two attempts best finish was 3st. I had a few laps @ 2'16.xxx, but I also had a couple of 22's. Just a little smoother and P1 is a slam dunk. Then I will have a look at that Charger I guess.  

Also, thankfully the Huayra rabbit doesn't bolt away.

I went through and did a few seasonals last night. I used the Caterham for all three adding weight and stripping power for the lower pp while doing the opposite up higher obviously. The highest HP I got to see was 206. No aids not even the ABS. Golded the first two easily while the last one at Bathhurst held me to Bronze in my 4 attempts. May try again today if I get the time.

I used the ZZ II at Bathurst, with a Mclaren on my ass the whole time. I think the ZZ was in the 520's on the PP.

If you can get consistent 2'16s, you have à chance.

^^^Bathurst is a fast track and besides being down on hp the Caterham has horrible aerodynamics.  That sounds close to impossible - how close are you coming to a win?

I used (all stock):
'92 NSX Type R on CS @ Silverstone - lot O tail out driving there  :P
288 GTO @ Laguna Seca
Aventador w/out oil change at Bathurst - won on the 2nd attempt (had a very inopportune spin on the last lap first attempt)

In my opinion the 288 GTO and Aventador have 2 of the best sounding engines in Gran Turismo 6.  Just, so good!

That Eiger rally time trial is tough! I still haven't got a clean run.

Also, some people complain about loud cars. The rally car I picked was notably louder than expected and I had to turn down the speaker volume.

^very nice!

^^Took me a bit to beat that as well.  I used my 80s Audi Quattro rally car and was able to beat the event on my first clean run.  First few attempts I kept hitting the left barrier when going down the steep hill on the ridgeline.

The Bathurst one is tough using a Viper at slightly more PP than the Charger.
Maybe it needs a better tune.

The Charger still runs nicely!

MastrGT, at Bathurst I used an '02 RX7 with around 380hp, otherwise stock.  I had thought that traction might be an issue on several sections of the track but it ended up being fine. :)

For Bathurst, I used the RX-7 Spirit R FD to get gold, then ran a couple of laps with Elise 111R (more of a handful than the RX-7) to improve the time by a bit. 

For Eiger, I just ran with an older Suby rally car at about 470PP, almost stock except adding a mid-range turbo.  Got gold on the 2nd lap.

Still have not figured out drifting to get good scores.

Yeah, I got my drifting up to 2200 once, but that was it.
