To submit your time, you will need to take a picture of the screen and post it in this thread, clearly showing the PI, Car Model, lap time, and the area where the dirty lap marker would show up if you run a dirty lap. The picture should be legible.


Week One
Event 1: C-Class at Iberian Full Reverse [car must remain *STOCK*, no upgrades]

Event 2: A-Class at Hockenheim National [all upgrades free]

Good luck!

Note: All times referenced are US Central times.

I'd like to try this, but I don't know what a PI is, or if I need to be in a goon group/guild/whatever it's called. Also, when you say all upgrades free, what do you mean by that? Also also, what's a dirty lap?

PI is the "Power Index" (in quotes because I might be making that up) that determines your class. Upgrades free means you can upgrade your car in any way as long as it stays within the class restriction. A dirty lap is where you went off the track or ran into a wall, usually not a fast time unless you cheat. You don't need to be in a club, you just need to be insanely fast if you want to win.
Jeez those are some sick times.

Fastest time, and if this is your first time playing, you will get faster. Hell, even if it's not, this game (and racing in general) rewards consiatent effort- you will improve. Try using a ghost of someone a second faster than you and see where you are losing time. (You get ghosts from the leaderboard, just pick someone above you and select "download ghost" while highlighting their time.)

For the C-Class car, try driving the Audi TT and the Honda or Acura Type-R. Those are two of the easier to drive cars I've tried, and they are not the fastest, but I got both of them into the 1:02's.

After the first hairpin, when you're going through the two lefts, try to take both of them in a single wide arc instead of straightening out and taking them as two separate corners. Keeping your speed up here is important.

e: I'm down to a 1:01.234 in the BMW 8 series, I'll post pics when I'm done with Hock.

New and final times for me

Hockenheim - Lancia Stratos 1:39.257
Iberian - Skyline 350GT 1:04.033




Also, start off in easier cars, the audi TT is pretty zippy even if it's slow. It has decent acceleration to drag it through the corners.

can we do DTM on nurburg GP at some point in this?
Or german cars on nurburg GP, that'd be somewhat DTM-y. I guess.

Another stupid question...the upgraded cars...is the only way to do that through career mode? Can you somehow upgrade a car just in the free play/hot lap thing?

You have to buy and upgrade it in career mode. You can access your garage cars from hot lap mode. If you need more forzabux to buy cars try Rivals mode.

Also if you want to join our car club, send a request to join EASA. You'll get access to our garage cars as well

e: I see Cubivore and PSBonnett have updated times on Hockenheim on the Leaderboards. I've added them.

My final times:



And a Spreadsheet with current times. I'll update it with points standings tomorrow. As of this moment, just short of two hours until the deadline when the new events will start...which are:

:siren: Week Two :siren:

- B500 German Cars only at Nurburgring GP Short (all upgrades free)

- D Class Stock Upgrades Only at Sebring Club

One thing I left out of the original post's rules, is that if your final time shows up on the leaderboard, you don't have to post a screenshot, just let me know what leaderboard position you're in.

My 6th lap was only two tenths slower than his time with a few easily identifiable mistakes, so I realized pretty quickly I could beat it and decided to strap in and do it. I figured it'd take 30 or so minutes.

For the record I beat his time a good 5 or 6 times before that with .2's vs. his .3, but those attempts were dirtied on the last corner because I'm bad.

For the D class what is a stock upgrade? By default don't they have stock parts and the upgrades are street/sport?

Stock means no upgrades, correct. You've got to drive it as it sits once you buy it. If you don't feel like buying a bunch of cars, you can go to Free Play / Hot Lap and just pick cars from the dealers to drive.

The fact that you spent an hour and a half doing that more than makes up for me not winning. I hope the D class stock is even closer.

Thought as much :) That's all I did with the Iberian challenge, most of my cars already have some odd tune on it's easier to just look at what D-classes there are and pick a stock one :)

Well it would have likely taken me a good deal less time if I just broke down and used the Genesis, since it seemed to have a lot more potential than the RX8. The RX8 having a lot less speed meant that not taking a corner perfectly was punished a lot more and lost me way more time.

But if I have a chance of winning in a rotary, I will always take that car over anything else.
