[Closed] Forza 3 hot lap challenge?

I'd be up for that, would be a bit of a laugh. When Forza 1 was out I spent weeks challenging a guy from work to hot laps of the Nurburgring in a Bentley Speed 8

Not sure about the ring! The laps take ages!!

Yep, go for it. I'm deadlydarcy on there too. 🙂

Well up for it but not got live at present. Would post times here. My vote Laguna Seca.

what car? im thinking something fairly standard ish like one of the race series porshes?

what about the #45 flying lizard 911 gt3-rsr?

ok three tracks
laguna seca
suzuka circuit
and tsukuba full circuit

unless you all have other suggestions

Yeah cool 742 r3 version?

I like maple over suzuka

Not good enough to race online yet, but just done 1.34.662 at Laguna in a Merc CLK GTR - did go off the road once though.

which maple track catflees?

1:26:652 @ laguna in the flying lizard, was second lap (not standing start)

Full or short @ maple. Don't mind though happy to race anywere.

Jeez - 8 seconds quicker. Told you I was pants. Is the Lizard super quick?

Saying that I tend to screw up if I get in anything too quick - it is a long time since I've owned a console (Wii excluded)

😳 I did have stability and abs on...

I'll not tell you what I had on catflees 😳

1.27.457 on laguna seca but only bought the game an hour ago

big yim - I hate you

👿

What aids big yim?

1:33.989

Standing start, ABS and Traction Control, no other assists

if it's going to be done properly then we need to all be using same car/track/start method/assists otherwise it's pointless

oooh, that felt a bit anal (so to speak)

abs and traction control with standard setup

Ok: abs, tc, standard set up rolling start (to save having to restart each time?)

1:25.036 without abs

Bart takes the crown 🙂

trying to set a tskuba time now 🙂

best tskuba full time 57.744 very beatable I think

My xbox is cooling down at the moment due to red ring of death, i'll check back later to see your times.
I agree with catflees on maple valley being better than suzuka.

Tskuba: 54.495. (abs+tc) I am playing on a tiny 19" screen thats 10 foot away lying in bed with chronic pneumonia and fluid in one lung tho! I like that porsche, only got the game at Christmas and been in hospital for a few days so not driven it before 🙂

Going to have some time on my hands over the next week or two so I'll report back once I've had some practise (and well enough to get in the lounge and on the proper telly!)

[edit] Another vote for Maple Valley (full) over Suzuka

Oooh this looks like fun, will set some lap times in the Porsche later this evening

Tskuba 55:453, hope the pneumonia doesn't hurt too much. I had it 3 years ago awful.

Maple valley short 38:998

Are we opening the car setup can of worms. Done a 1.25.5 on Laguna with a quick tune

Hmm, haven't played for ages and I appear to be a little bit under par! 56:378 is the best I can get on Tsuka with the Flying Lizard, abs and tc 🙁 I will try maple! 🙂

Maple valley short 38:280 🙂

Hoocylala! The game is on!

I vote we should keep the car unfiddled with. So we all have the same settings. But sup to you.

Cheers catflees, yep it does hurt definitely feel on the mend compared to a few days ago tho 😉 Worst thing was missing my new years day ride for the first time in over 20 years, always managed to make it come hell or high-hangover before but there was just no way this year. How long was it before you were able to get out on the bike again?

39.057 is the best I can manage on Maple short, much prefer the flow of the full circuit though -batteries have gone in the controller now 👿

[edit] car as standard, abs+tc. I assume everyone else is on auto (hope so I just can't manage manual changes!)

Can I play? 🙂

I'll have a go tomorrow morning.

54.188 for Tskuba very frustrating been .6 up on that, but keep falling off the grey bit.
37.162 for maple valley short before the red ring appears.

Nice. Will see if I can wrest the TV from the missus later 🙂

Maple Valley better than Suzuka? That's crazy talk. But then I've been watching F1 for the best part of 30 years; Suzuka is a classic venue.

Suzuka is good but maple valley full has just a nice flow to it.

If you're really into your gaming you need a specific telly for just that. I have a cheeky little samsung 24 inch in 'xbox corner'

This im well up for ill set some laps on the mentioned tracks above. Also if anyone has live add me o Rosss x and im up for a race anytime. Oh and maple valley has a time trial on the full track with the focus rs - Perfection ive lapped it so many times im about 800th. If anyone on here can get higher than me on that by tomorow night ill gift them a car 😉 The challenge is on

Ok so we shall have maple valley and Suzuka? So who's winning what?
