I've tested this with 3 or 4 cars, it isn't too hard if you pick the right one. Sure, you only get 350 hp, but you'll be under 1000kg, which makes up for quite a bit of horsepower.

Super Go Kart Budget Rider "Oh man! My Mom's going to kill me! I need to be home before 6!, What am I going to do?" "Chill man, Just take my 'Lotus Elise 111R' Go-Kart. It's fast enough with its 270 hp and 808kg body. It's got a Port & Polish, Stage 2 Turbo, Triple clutch, Racing Flywheel, Fully Customizable Limited Slip, Tranny and Suspention, Racing Brakes and Muffler. It's got R4 tyres for that extra grip. I'll come with, but you're driving." What a life saver Jimmy is. His kart is a beauty.  The kart's photo that I took when he was racing. I'm not the greatest driver out there, and Jimmy knows it, so he's deciding to torture me. I've never driven his kart before, but I know the basics. The road to my house is under construction, so we need to take the back roads. I've always marveled at the landscape and the roadway's likeness to the Ring. I've played GT4 twice though, and I've done the 24 hour race there both times in A-Spec, so I know it like the back of my hand. I've never driven before, so I needed a little getting used to be behind the wheel. I started the beast up and took her out on to the roads. These backroads are very odd, in that anyone can drive on them, from young children to old farts. (sorry vitg, oldguy ;D) These roads are the grounds of where the local "karters" (name, Jimmy) practice, so I won't be in trouble with the law. I speed onto the "track" trying to beat my time limit of 7 min to get home. After "Karussel" I knew that I wouldn't get home in time. I raced as fast as I could, but came up with a "time" of 7'.30.341." My mom's going to beat me, no dought about it. When I go to the front door, it's locked, with a note on it saying, "Gone to do some erands, be back around 7." OMG, I got lucky, big time.  |

Oh shit i show up!
haha this is Tupacrulez from t3h Gamefags. popping in to see what cars and shit are being run. I won't be round much, but after much hassle I've found it to be necessary to come around here, as the Gamefags topic on this is pretty much dead in the water.
Anyway, Caterham FTW!
Now i have an idiot question: I tried to get a nice big Ava like Nightmare and such, but it tells me i can only have 100x100...the fuck is the deal?

after re reading the rules, it seems the closest thing to a go kart in the game is not allowed, due to a non wing function.

If you can't fix a wing, that's okay. That's one rule you can bend, for the sake of the Caterham.

My first try was with the Cappuccino. I failed miserably. Of course, I could only get it up to 126 hp. My time was a little over 8 minutes, which I guess isn't too bad considering the hp. But it doesn't earn a check-mark in the win column. I've got another car in mind for another try. Gonna have to go bigger, I suppose.

My first car didn't work Lotus Elise 111R. best time 7:27.967.
I think that the Elise Sport 190 might work better since it is lighter.

I'd have my write-up in, but my aunt and uncle are in town and we had to spend the entire day wandering around the mall of america. Boring if you ask me...
