Winner of this season should get the keys for the next season, what you think Marine?

Marine Iguana · 30 Nov 2009 at 17:16

Indeed NIKAZ has wrapped up the championship and Seeing as he does a good job with the whole keeping us informed

i hereby nominate NIKAZ for takeover of this thread (if he want's)

Another nomination for you NIKAZ - getting the hint yet?

We could do with some new blood mind - maybe the patch out tomorrow will bring some people in....

Marine Iguana · 30 Nov 2009 at 18:51

Everyone's faster than me by miles

Maybe i overdid it last week and have nothing left

Marine Iguana · 30 Nov 2009 at 19:38

Anyone else's car bounce a lot mines terrible very hard to drive

danswan · 30 Nov 2009 at 19:48

Hey Marine - mine's really smooth actually, maybe it's bug. I just got a 2:21 so I can't see any other reason I would be that much faster than you. I'm assuming you have bought all the upgrades? I had a problem with one of the cars in the past that seemed to be solved when I sold & re-bought it.

Updated the OP guys. This is the final week for me. Always said i'd run it for 10 weeks.

NIKAZ, big thank you for supporting my lazy arse Forza 3 grabbed my attention which is the reason i've been neglecting this so sorry about that.

No probs mate.

No doubt you'll be running a second season so I wish you all the best

Yeah I'm up for a 2nd season, & I don't mind taking over the KEYS!! As Marine so eloquently put it.
Next weekend if you can update the OP pointing to the post reflecting the the beginning of the 2nd season that would be appreciated.
Once agian many thanks for starting this Time Trial thread. I speak for many when I say this game would be gathering dust but for this thread.

Not only is the latest patch available (x360 & PC) tomorrow but an additional 5 NEW CARS are included also. Shame no new tracks though.

2.25 atm Got it tuned as far bumps are concerned but still struggling with a few corners...might drop the rear downforce a little see if that helps .

Persil

Hi guys, missed out on last weeks Time Trial, had to go away for work.

Looks like NIKAZ has picked an excellent car/track combo, will give it a go when I get a chance. Need to make up some lost points.

@NIKAZ: Can't think of any body better for taking over the KEYS.

NIKAZ · 30 Nov 2009 at 20:41

On my 2nd attempt got a 2.26.870 stock no tuning. Don't know if that's good or bad to be honest.
And Marine you're not alone, my car is like a bouncy castle with wheels too. And I've forgotten how to take Eau Rouge... bugger

Oh noes we are being punished for last week I think

booyaka · 30 Nov 2009 at 21:09

any chance of some vague settings?? I just don't have time to spend setting it up loads of different ways. Shame there isn't more just stock cars - that mean everyone is running the same cars all round

Marine Iguana · 30 Nov 2009 at 21:42

Hmm quality was down for some reason but you get the idea youtube needs to still do the processing.

Bouncy

Edit: Looks OK now.

Settings I'm using at the mo. Will be tweaked as we progress through the week.

anihcniedam · 30 Nov 2009 at 22:02

missed last weeks due to work, good job really as i could only manage a 2:13 ish...

first go this week, not too bad but i'm bouncing around like a space hopper at the moment, going to have to get to grips with the tuning section, but it's all gobble-de-gook to me...

perseverance, perseverance, perseverance...

NIKAZ · 30 Nov 2009 at 22:34

My time after some upgrades & tuning

danswan · 30 Nov 2009 at 22:44

This car is a really nice drive - was hoping to set a good target here that would last until Saturday, which is my next chance to play, but I can sense Nikaz will overhaul this in few moments...

Haven't touched the tuning section yet mind, so hopefully I can benefit from his settings at the weekend...
