Forza 4 Drivers' Challenge #34 - Nurburgring Rally!

[ELVA164]

Hey guys, cool one this week!

The rules and car list are the same as the two previous weeks: Car can be upgraded up to 600 and tuned to your liking. The interesting twist this week is a rally-style challenge! Record and photograph a clean time for each of the four Nordschleife stages, then add your time up! The fastest clean total wins!

Challenge ends at 11:59 PST next Friday.
Car list:

1991 BMW M3
1986 BMW M635CSI
1990 Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II
1993 Ford SVT Cobra R
1987 Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500
1990 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z
1983 Volvo 242 Turbo Evolution
1988 Mitsubishi Station ESI-R
1984 Volkswagen Rabbit GTI
1985 Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT Apex
*Note: I changed the VW to the '84 Rabbit because the MkII came out after the '80s ended and the entry I found was a MkI.

Okay wow I'll need to find a lot of time this week for this challenge. Working morning to night at the moment! The tuning business is crazy.
Looking at an 8 (EIGHT) bay shop this week AND looking at buying my first house! No more townhomes for me!

That's great news! Still not as important as this though

So this is cool. Finally gave in and tried the M3, which is still horrible with no front or rear spoilers but whatever. I gave it a real go and this is what I ended up with:

Stage A

2:00.754
Stage B

1:56.165
Stage C

2:19.273
Stage D

2:21.808

Total time: 8:38.000 24 thousandths! I'd really prefer not having to do that again though, so if you could just take it easy on me 4x4...

Props for doing that with no aero. But I'm still going to try and beat your time :D

Got a house! To celebrate I'll try to get this done tonight if I don't pass out from beer induced excitement
