Mr. Pinstripes Foot in Mouth Budget Rider

I was a bit rushed typing up the intro for the BR (stupid work), so it
wasn't as clear as I'd have liked it to be. Here is a better breakdown of how it
should work.

"One foot [in your mouth], and one on the gas! (Mk II)"

Step 1: Put your foot in your mouth! Predict just how fast you think
you can tear around the 'Ring with 100,000 Cr. Make the most ridiculous boast
you think you might actually be able to pull off. Don't check a car's power
first, don't test run cars first; just open your yap, then deal with the
consequences.

Step 2: Purchase and tuning. Snag a new car (classics are fine, but no
used ones), then tune it into a monster. No nitrous allowed, but all other
upgrades (including racing tires) are fine.

Step 3: Put the hammer down! Self-explanatory. If your first car
doesn't make it, feel free to try another (as time allows, of course).

Whoever comes closest to their target time (either under or over) is
the winner. They win nothing.

My focus for this BR is threefold

1- A way to push our own limits.
2- A way to expand our car/tuning knowledge.
3- A way to have a competition that's totally independent of driver
skill.
