Im definitely up for this, not done any online racing yet, i really want to do most of the offline achievements before i get stuck into online.

Wednesday and Sunday are perfect for me, i don't work either so I'm available all day. :)

Do want!

As much as I enjoy the mess around stuff, I prefer it as a gap in between some proper clean (as realistically possible) racing.

I like doing unmodified cars quite a lot too, pitting all the hot hatches against one another for example. Doesn't have to be 100% even performance points, just all cars in the same ball park and have some fun.

Same car racing is also a blast. I do a lot of M3 racing in GT5 online and it's never dull (could easily supplant the M3 with plenty of other cars though of course).

Not terribly keen on the full on race cars in Forza, they just don't feel as nice as they do in GT5.
 
How annoying is the mclaren in the best of British challenge! Back end all over the place, spent 40 minutes trying to beat times earlier!
 
FAO r0zvad/JimIsLost - How the hell are you so fast in a straight line?

I was racing your ghost on the NSX/Suzuka challenge last night, and while I could keep up with you in the corners you were monstering me on the straights. Between both the run from the hairpin to Spoon and Spoon to 130R your ghost consistently pulled out about 15 car lengths.

It's not just that your ghost was getting a better exit as we'd often exit together, but you'd pull ahead on gear changes. I'm using manual gears so I'm guessing I'm either changing at the wrong point, or the fact I use auto clutch is slowing the changes down?

Annoying :)
 
Was fun last night, got disconnected on the Benchmark tag round 2 though and didn't get spammed with more invites so just hit career for a bit. :D

Will look forward to some proper races sometime, although my psycho-Volvo™ is not suited to actual cornering so I'll need another car for S-class.

Can you mod or tune the car? Gear ratios could maybe make a difference?

There is definitely a shifting advantage to using the clutch, I've had ghosts pull away from me despite me shifting at the most perfect point in first gear to second, they just lunge ahead.

It's probably a combination is great shifting and better exit speed. One of the hardest corners on Suzuka and certainly the corner I find the most challenging (and the one that costs the most if you don't get it right) is the second left hander before the back straight. It's on a strange camber and the curve itself isn't the easiest. Exiting that well will be worth a huge amount of time come the end of the lap.

Nope, this challenge is for the stock '92 NSX. The same was happening for the stock Radical SR8 challenge around the ring, but it was only about 2 car lengths.

Yeah, may have to learn to use the clutch then if it's that much of an advantage.
