On an aside - I love how Trials HD does it's leaderboard thing, if Forza had something similar, that'd be awesome

on forza you can sort by friends and favourites.

Ok the leaderboards are pretty sweet:

My gamertag is HyruleField

So for the 1st Hot Lap Boards Challenge how about

Track: Tsukuba Full
Class allowable: B
Restrictions: None

It's an easy enough track to get used to and learn off and at around 1 minute it isn't too painful if mistakes are made.

I have a time of 01:01:392 in a highly modified Seat Leon SC which ranks in at B471. It's a top 7% time now but was in top 2% when I did it. Seems the most popular car for this class is the Fairlady Z '69. All top 10 cars are this.

Do we have to sign up to a leaderboard or anything or just work away and post our times here?
My GT is faloonzer anyway.

How bout following this format

Track: Tsukuba Full
Class allowable: B
Restrictions: None
Player: HyruleField
Car: Modified Seat Leon SC B471
Time: 01:01:392

Nemanja91

I'd be well up for that! Add me GT: gregGH91

Sounds awesome, the only problem is that I have as yet, not got an Xbox here in Malta... I'm home on Tuesday...

Top 2% is pretty awesome vegeta... cant wait to try it.

Also, simply get a tweak pack from the online shop, most are 0 Forzabucks anyway and they are good. I'll upload any tweaks I do on my cars for us to share and I'm sure others will too (not that you really want to be using my downforce laden tweaks... )

Its really easy to download them and apply them, it does it all for you, even buying the parts and applying them. I've gotten so lazy I rarely tweak my own now

Nice

I assume the car is B500

Ya see already I wish the cars were standard as I'd love to get in the exact same car with the exact same set up and try and beat this time

I like the idea of using standard cars, it's more down to driving skill than using one of those tunes in a car everyone uses for hot lapping.

Yeah I am thinking the same. Sure it's cool to have no restrictions but now I wish I could get in the same car as Lightning and Amacachi and have a go at their time.

I was driving a car last night and new if I altered the gear ratio, to suit the maximum straight on Tsukuba and if I tweaked the caster and toe to make it turn in a bit better, I would definitely beat my time above. (Setup was locked by the original seller though)

Ok I think we need to pick a standard car in B or C Class an all have a crack with that car.

Mainly because I have no money now to buy and tune a car

I'm seriously impressed by your times lads

I'm not at home at the moment but when I get home later I'll look for a car that's suitable and maybe we could all use that.

Or if anyone has a preference for a car in B or C lets hear it and we'll try that.

+1. if its one standard car theres a better chance of getting a few more people to run it. tuning isn't for everyone so its the fairest way.

DeVore

Or the tuners can release their tune ups for free and unlocked, which is what I intend to do. Then people can simply apply mine and go, and it leads them gently into a really interesting (to me and others and possibly them too) area of the game.

If not, they can still simply apply the tune up setup file and go, it takes like 5 seconds to do

DeV.

DeVore

I do agree with you in a way that people can compare Standard car times too... provided people declare their cars as Standard (as we have been doing) which will give us the best of 3 worlds! (I hope).

i was actually going to put up the 2 cars i used so far yesterday but thought no one would be bothered . i'll put them up for free and if anyone wants them gifted (unlocked) they'll have to send a FR.

DeVore

Hey, just back and I wanted to get stuck into this...

But I have a dumb question... are we allowing rewinds or not? I am guessing not but then it is a beginners thread I guess...

DeV.

brian plank

your fastest lap should be certified to make it fair. rewinding to get a perfect lap is a bit pointless, even more so for a beginner because its all about putting a perfect run together.
