Need for Speed Shift - Time Trial Championship

I did say there were areas that Nikaz could make up quite a bit of time on his 1:28. Just had to get them altogether on one lap.

Now I am going to be bold here and just for a second assume that this holds. I am off to South America for 6 weeks on Friday night so will not be able to compete anymore :(

As such, can I choose next weeks track and car and post up some lap times in advance? If so, can I get a vote on tuning or not as I believe some people miss it but others feel it levels the field.

As far as I'm concerned win or lose, I'm happy to drive your track/car choice for Week 9, no problem at all. Could you possibly e-mail Pete the links to your screen grabs so he can post them on your behalf DURING Week 9 i.e. After Sunday Midnight? This way Week 8 can run it's full course.
 
zytok style....

Here's the thing. Once I get used to how much corner cutting you can get away with, mainly the speed bump section ironically, I'll easily be mid 25's.

My best first sector time is now 7.318 seconds. I think I've got the first corner sussed, consistently getting 7.4
 
I have managed a 7.7 on auto. It's not just the speed bumps where you can make the time up........;)

The auto gearbox is very poor on this car. It seems to get stuck in gear on numerous occasions just revving the knackers off it without actually going anywhere. Can see how manual gears is making a big difference this week.
 
I thought Zytok time was insane but 1.26.1 is just unbelievable time by the way Nikaz what is your best time for sector two.
 
If he is blending my "special driving techniques" with manual gears and the skill he has then I fully believe him when he says he can do sub 1:25. I honestly don't think he has worked out yet though where all the time can be had. My 1:26 is severely hampered by auto gears and inferior skill.
 
Any of you guys have Forza3, the reason i am asking there is time trial championship in game console section going and it will be good fun competing against you guys in that championship as well.
 
I wish haven't got an xbox tempted by forza to get one but so far resisted never even played a xbox as i hate the idea of it bad enough i have to use the controller on my PC

I'll check it out. Just wish Forza was more like Shift in the 'sense of speed' department. It feels spongy as well to me.
Cheers for the heads up, I will take a look
 
I have Forza as well. I like it but agree that it feels quite pedestrian compared to Shift.

Also is it me or are all the tuning options apart from tyre pressures greyed out? Seems like there's tons of options but it won't let you change anything!!

Oh and Nikaz, just

right then chaps, I've emailed Pete with my choice of car and track for next week should I hold on to 2nd place as Nikaz has graciously allowed me to choose (well he has had enough choices already!! :D)

I've also emailed him a link to my best lap time that I can come up with without a lot of practise. Can't see it winning but I might get a point or two.

Well I'm off to finish my packing now. Good luck to everyone for the rest of the championship. I'll be back on the 7th of Jan if you're still around.

Thanks for the fun over the past few weeks.

regards Zytok
