    Forza 2 "Star in an overpriced car" PART 5!

    Time for challenge number 5...Will someone be able to break the cycle of either TheForce or Senna winning this time?

    Same as before, just set the fastest laptime and the car is yours to keep! So if you fancy a go, stick your name & gamertag down and you'll be added to the list. Once there's a reasonable amount of people interested, I'll set a target time and pass the car on to the next person on the list. New entrants are welcome even once the competition is underway - as long as its still running, you can join so stick your name down if you want in.

    The Prize car







    You'll be competing for this 1998 Ferrari F355 Challenge! The car is tuned to S-class (998) and features several modifications to make it pretty fast, but not at the expense of braking and handling, which are superb. IMO, its easy to drive this car quickly lap after lap, and also fun, so I'm expecting some good laptimes.

    The Track
    Mazda Laguna Seca

    Time to beat
    1:21.015 (still!)

    The Contenders
    Kubrick -- Kubrick XL -- 1:21.015
    charlesr -- charlesr -- 1:23.221
    talizker -- talizker -- 1:23.352
    Senna -- MikeSlayer1 -- 1:21.188
    TheForce -- ThaForce -- 1:21.034
    Dirty Sanchez -- UK DirtySanchez -- 1:28.700
    burntoutbanger -- burntoutbanger -- 1:22.135
    Womble9 -- LaughingAssasin -- 1:31.???
    KingJames -- KingJames OB -- ??
    MonkeyWrench -- KungFu Ramone -- 1:23.599
    sharky_ob -- SharkyOB -- 1:23.881


    The Rules
    The rules are simple, we keep the same rules like last time, so that means you get 48hrs to set a time, in these 48hrs everyone should be able to set a quick lap.

    - Everyone is free to race with all assist on or off.
    - Once you have set your time, send the car to the next person on the list.
    - Tuning or buying upgrades is NOT allowed so NO UPGRADES PLEASE! Everyone MUST post a time with the tuning set to DEFAULT (go to tuning and press X).

    And like last time, everyone is free to put their name (or whatever) on the car so we have something quite special in the end !

                    I'll have a go during the weekend, probably tomorrow so consider it kicked-off as of today! I'll pass it on to Charles when I'm done.

                    I like this car so I'll be trying to make sure that won't be happening, so be prepared to have to work hard for it!

                        My time - 1:21.015

                        Hard to tell how good a time it is since I'm going first, but 1:20.XXX is definitely possible and is what I was aiming for, but I couldn't quite do it.

                        I got ahead of my ghost a number of times since one corner during the 1st half was mediocre but I must've really nailed the "corkscrew" and the rest of the corners in the 2nd half because the ghost would always reign me in and eventually sneak past.

                        The car has now been gifted to charlesr. Good luck!

                          Lots of fun into the corkscrew.
                          I'll wait before sending it on. My BB is screwed and dropping every few minutes. I don't want it to lose the car somehow.

                            I'd love to know what you fast guys are doing to get 2 seconds ahead. You must be gaining .2 seconds through every corner.... I've tried turning the aids on and off. I've tried all sorts of different lines. I've tried coasting down into the corner. I've tried steady throttle. I'm on the edge of locking up on the way in and on the edge of traction on the way out (which is why abs and tcs don't seem to make a difference for me). Only thing left I'm thinking is my steering. I often have the steering on full left or right once in the turn. Is that wrong? Obviously you wouldn't with a wheel, but with the pad it's hard to gauge where to put it unless it's a gentle turn. Any advice much appreciated.

                              Hi All,

                              I'd love to have a bash at this if there's still an opening.

                              Thanks,
                              James
