TGRG Top Gear Role Game (Discontinued)

Another 2 acepted entries

Here the three contestant (from the left)

@titleguy1 with a red 1985 Atarashi Ozora T-Top, old fashion pop-up headlights, removable roof and a N/A V6 with a specific output of 170HP, a bit heavy (1150kg) but very easy to drive and quite pratical, itā€™s original cost was 20000$

@phale with another red car: 1985 Adenine Mist Super Sport, a 3 door sedan, extremly large, extremely lightweight (1050kg) and incredibly powerful (330HP), someone says itā€™s the most unconfortable car of the '80 and the Adenine engineers forgot the economy at home, but it was quick.

the white car is the @TR8R First Order IMP Pocket Rocket. I canā€™t describe it, 174HP in a Fiat 127 body, awfully large, incredibly lightweigt and astonishing easy to drive. Probably come from the space. Uh, is very 80s, has even the Frank Zappa mustache on the hood.

The first envelope contain your destination:
Top Gear Top Secret Top Cars Enhancement Centre, a 400km trip, not so easy for 30yo cars

Letā€™s roll the dice:
titleguy1 (6) -->during the trip you have major problems involving the cooling system, remember to fix it before the next challenge. Altough your car is quite confortable, you arrive at destination rested.

phale (14) -->quite well, your car need frequent stops, for refueling, for let the turbine cool down and to let your butt rest a little, you car is awfully uncofortable, the inside panel (where they are) are falling apart. You need half hour more than titleguy1.

TR8R (3) -->your car seems good, very tame, quite confortable, but when you stop for refueling the car wont start anymore, an electrical problem drow all the energy from the battery. You need a jump start, an hour later you are at destination.

All the cars have arrived up to here, now itā€™s time to open the second envelope:

ā€œYou know whatā€™s the hardest part of buyng a sport car? Persuade your family to let you buy it.
Behind you there is the TGTSTCEC, you have 2 days (until 23:59 GMT 09/04/2016) and 1000ā‚¬ to modify you cars, then a strict jury will evaluate your modification.ā€

EDIT itā€™s not over but let me know if you liked it

I like the idea of the challenge but am a little confused as to what we need to do at this point.

Well, crap. The Mist Super Sport is intended to be a track monster, not a GT haha. Is a full interior replacement allowed?

you need to list me some mods you will do if you are a top gear presenter. E.g. i paint my car pink and i install a dog carrier on the roof. Something like that, than the jury (me) evaluates the mods and run some other challenge (i.e. a drag race) and than i make a classification.
No need for .lua files, only words and your fantasy. If you think your car is perfect you can even donā€™t touch it and just polish the paint.

Note: this time you need to modify the car as part of the first challenge, in other round can be the second, or the third, or maybe you donā€™t need to at all (i will specify in the first post).

Donā€™t warry, i can assure you donā€™t need any more road trip, everything from now on will be done on a track. Yes if you can do with 1000ā‚¬ (you can do, but the quality remain pretty low).

Am I allowed to reduce quality elsewhere to make room for more money? i.e. as long as the estimated price is under $1000 more than before, itā€™s okay?

You donā€™t need to change anything on your file, just immagine what you can do with 1000ā‚¬ (or 1000$) it donā€™t need to be covered on Automation, like i said before, you can tell me: ā€œiā€™m going to change the interior, iā€™ll buy on Amazon two massaging gaming chair and i bolt in place of the seatsā€. I will judge your fantasy in this phase.

Oh, cause I completely redesigned the car with a premium interior and improved comfort from 10 to 25ā€¦ Iā€™m not very good at this role-playing thing am I?

In that case, I fit the car with new, three-piston calipers and much less aggressive brake pads (I actually did this in-game). And I also order the gaming chairs from Amazon. That will be all!

Time to vote: 1; 1 1/2; 1 For a grand total of 3 1/2

Second creation, time for @titleguy1, the jury appreciate very much the leather seat and the A/C efficency. ā€œWith a garmin nav we can even go to a small trip, itā€™s a cute car, only this smell, all the sport car have this scent?ā€
Votes: 5, 7, 6

The last @TR8R, ā€¦
ā€¦
ā€¦
The jury seems a bit drunk,
ā€¦
ā€¦
10, 10, 10, we clearly have a winner.

Time for another challenge.

Opening the envelope:

The small sport car are famous for his cornering performance, now you will evaluate how well your car perform around tight corners. In the main straight of the track the production have setted a 200m slalom course

First on the line @titleguy1, he warm up the tire with a little burnout and here we go, despite the slim tires the Ozora go around the corner pretty well, total time 14.17 seconds

Second @TR8R, a very small and sporty car, heā€™s the favouite, can he beat the time setted early? The IMP is very fast, he complete the curse in only 13.23sec

Last on the track is @phale, massive car, not the best feature for this type of challenge. Letā€™s go, wow, is unexpectedly quick, it will be a close challengeā€¦the final time is 13 seconds pointā€¦58.


Uuuh, another envelope

Quoting an advertisement: the control is nothing without power. And whatā€™s the better method to mesure power than a drag race?

All the cars are on the line, green flag, the Adenineā€™s 330HP make the difference this time, is quicker than the other, @phale cross the line in 12.18 seconds. Among the others it will be closeā€¦ the IMP is less powerful but much more lighterā€¦Second on the line @TR8R (15.06), third the Ozora (15.66)


Another envelope

Why you buy a sport car? To beat your friends on the track, the last challenge will be a timed lap of our track

First lap for @titleguy1: the lack of power is impressive on our long straight but in the corner is good, final time in 1.37;82
If the Ozora lack in power the Pocket Rocket is not lessā€¦but its lightweight and big tires is a big benefit on the track. Total time of oneā€¦26,95. Great round
Last but not the least, the incredibly powerful Mist, is much more quicker on the straight, last corner, and across the line.

Back to the studio

Itā€™s time for the ranking

The first points will be assigned for price, every 3000$ saved worth one point
One point for @titleguy1 and @phale, two points for @TR8R

Second space in our raking is the time of the first travel. The first who have arrived 3, than 2 and one point for the last. Same thing for the modification slalom and drag challenges.

Before the lap time the total is:
8 points for the @titleguy1ā€™s Atarashi, 9 for @phale and 11 for @TR8R
The lap time worth triple points, so anything can always happen
I can tell, the Atarashi is the slowest, so 3pts.
The challege is close among the other two, if the Adenine Mist is faster then 1.26.95 win this comparsion for one pointā€¦
@Phale time is 1 minuteā€¦
