Cable Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I was wondering if anybody else would fancy doing some Forza time attack challenges? The idea is pick a track and then mod/tune your car up to a certain class and then see who can get the best lap time. e.g. Tsukuba, class: C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jive Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Yep, I'm up for that If you look on Forzamotorsport.net and login with your Live ID, you can see all the rankings / scoreboards for the time trials, hot laps, career and exhibition. I'm second out of all friends on the time trials with Markie Parkie 29 mins in front of me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edd_t Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 sounds like a wicked idea to me Which track is Tsukuba? my mind has gone totally blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 C: Tsukuba A: Suzuka A: Nuburgring Anything but Suzuka for me, unfortunately my disc will not play that track Actually that doesn't stop anyone else playing apart from me .. just ignore me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cable Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 sounds like a wicked idea to me Which track is Tsukuba? my mind has gone totally blank Tsukuba is the the short(ish) track with a 3 hairpin bends. Ok we will start with those 3 stated above and Class S: Maple Valley, if nobody has any objections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHanky Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 sounds like a great idea Nelly, if you are a loser who has accepted that his older brother is superior on RB6 and BF2 Not to mention your nephew who got you with C4 a handful of times last night To be fair it is a very good game, I just suck at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseys Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 It's gotta be the Nurburgring all the way... I remember setting a 6:48 in a ferrari on Forza 1, I haven't tried to push yet in Forza 2 :-) On a side note anyone got a decent rank on the timings for Gran Turismo HD?

Big Ads Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Why not just pick the same car, must be stock. Maybe the Mk4 Toyota Supra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddball Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Sound's a great idea! I'll be up for the challenge. Gamer tag = PLees69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Why not just pick the same car, must be stock. Maybe the Mk4 Toyota Supra. That is probably the best idea, at least that way everyone is using the same car and just down to driver skill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cable Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 Why not just pick the same car, must be stock. Maybe the Mk4 Toyota Supra. I personally like the idea where you have to find a good setup and combination of parts which is just as important as driver skill. It makes you want to experiment with different cars and settings, trying to eek out another tenth of a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I'd say we go for a front wheel drive car, just for the extra understeer-esq challenge :-) Nothing above class-A though, as it just gets silly. Why not restrict it to a Class+Drivetrain+Aspiration? I.e Class-A / FF / NA or Class-A / MR / Turbo etc? Then people can have a variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Ok to start everyone off, I've just done a 9:44:246 with 29 seconds penalty incurred in a stock 1998 Supra SZ round the Nurburgring I even had to go and buy a stock supra as I didn't have one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to adjust the settings of the car, but to keep the challenge standardised, one stock car should be chosen, or else it'll just be about finding the quickest car for the track, not about how good your 360 skills are.

I think the amount of sub categories could get a bit silly like that. It would spread the competition out somewhat. I'm still adament to stick to the initial plan.

There isn't much to adjust if the car is standard and I think that it's good to try and find the fastest car for the track. Some people are good with one car maybe and not so good with another. So long as you keep it within the specified class I cannot see a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
