viperinthegrass' Santa's Little Helper Budget Rider™

Rudolph has done it this time.
The long night of delivering was nearly over too, just a few deliveries at Adenau, a couple of Villages around Nürburg and Santa could call it a night.
That was until Rudolph spotted the "Adenau Egg Nog & Karaoke Bar".
"Hey let’s pop in there for a quick snort " said Rudolph. Big mistake.

Santa returns to find his Sled unattended and what sounds like a riot happening in a nearby Bar. Peering through the window he looks on a scene of total devastation.
Blitzen is blitzed, Dasher is trying to pick a fight with some Japanese businessmen, and Cupid is absolutely blind and chatting up a hat stand in the corner. Comet is crying drunk and belting out his version of “My Way” on the stage. Rudolph is unconscious on the floor, his nose glowing and filling the Bar with an eerie Red Light.

“Scheisse” says Santa, “WTF do I do now?”
Then he spots YOUR Car outside the Bar.

So you agree to help Santa out by giving him a ride, but time is short and this will be no easy task.
Your Car can be any one you chose except Racecars.
You have had an unlimited Budget to develop your Car; no expense has been spared.
Due to the Magic of Christmas, Santa Claus and his Toysack add no weight to your car.

As you fire up your Pride and Joy and Santa squeezes into the passenger seat, he informs you that to finish his nights work you have only 7 ‘ 15 to complete a lap of the Nürburgring. He will take care of dropping of the presents along the way, no stops.

“7 ‘ 15 ? a piece of Cake” I hear you say, “That’s a doddle. Vitg has really lost the plot this time” are some of the more printable comments, BUT there is a twist.

A real Christmas needs Snow and Ice ( we could sure use some here to put those damn bushfires out !) so –

You will need to complete one lap of Ice Arena as well.
Total combined time target - 7 ‘ 15 or less.You may detune your Car for the Ice lap, but no less than 540 Hp.
Cookies awarded for clean laps.

Good Luck and try not to kill Santa.

Soulidarity's Happy Halloween BR

Your Australian friend has come to town and brought his Holden Monaro with him. He thought it would be fun to have his son participate in "Trick or Treat" with your son this year. However the competitive nature of your friendship has turned it into a challenge. He will take his son in his Monaro, and you'll take your son in your Pontiac GTO. Can you show him how a real Trick or Treater does business?

The challenge: Modify the GTO and/or Monaro in order to bring their power/weight ratio as close to equal as possible. Run a lap in theMonaro first, then try to topple that time in the GTO. In vitg's case, feel free to reverse roles by being the visitor come to out trick or treat your American friend on his home turf, and run the cars in reverse order. Flibutz and anyone else from outside the U.S. can take whichever role they wish.

Flibutz's Historic Racer Budget Rider

This is a historic race between small-engined European and Japanese racing classics. Instead of a cr. budget there will be only mod regulations for building your racer.

Car regulations:

- 1973 model or older
- 1605cc or less, no turbos, no nitrous
- Must weigh 850kg or more
- Must be built from a roadcar

Upgrade regulations:

- Tyres - Limited to N3 grade (meant to represent a racing tyre of the time)

- NA tune - Limited to stage 2 (historically, this is probably too much power but...)

- Weight reduction - Only stage 1 allowed (no CF hood? nooo...)

- LSD - No full customize LSDs

- Gearbox - All is cool, but please refrain from using the 6th gear if you get one.

Banned - Racing chip (where does this go? do we jam it in the carbs?)

Banned - Carbon driveshaft

Banned - GT Auto wing

Banned - Driving aids

Car list:

There might be more, but here's the eligible cars I found:
