No assists with a controller I'm stuck at 01:45:203 in the Zonda i can't see how you guys are getting 01:42s this is so frustratingly addictive.

What causes a lap to go instantly dirty once you cross the line? I was putting down some really good times in the Ferarri but every time I started the next lap, insta-dirty :argh:

If you dirty the last sector of your previous lap it carries over. You can use the rewind feature to avoid this annoyance.

My copy should be here tomorrow. Who is going to run the UK group? I'll volunteer mainly because I'll be putting so much time into the drat game that I'll always be around to ensure people get in.

What advantage would manual clutch give you anyway? Just an extra button to hold when shifting gears right? Seems like it'd be worth it if it offered any significant advantage?

It makes you faster, especially in a straight line.

Drawbacks are it's a bit hard for soccer as you need to use reverse.

I tried to use the manual/w clutch again last night with the clutch where the handbrake usualy is. I end up with my thumb at an angle to cover the clutch button which means it cramps up after a while, I think i've got retard hands or something :(

It's worth getting used to manual/w clutch it's only one press is you cover both clutch and the gear change with your thumb.

Trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Here is my horrible, horrible Datsun 510 paintjob:
http://forzamotorsport.net/Handlers/GetPhoto.ashx?id=879040&full=true

The game doesn't let me run a single horizontal stripe from front to back, it curves along the fender to the hood/bumper area. If I try to rotate or skew it, the whole thing gets thrown off. How am I supposed to make this work? use two separate layers, one for the rear to the door hinge, and a second for the fender?

I've had the same problem, and as far as i can tell using multiple layers is the only solution.

Edit: But in the picture you posted you could just move the green line down so it doesn't taper off at the end.

If anyone has a better idea how to record them, I'm all ears. I was just randomly jumping and trying to find the best races. Missed most of the battle for 1st on the last few laps.

That's awesome thanks! The flicking between racers method worked pretty well. And you got my barrel roll across the finish line. :roflolmao:

Some good, surprisingly close races last night. The PI system is so much better now you get closer races with a more varied bunch of cars.

Yes it is the Datsun incident.

Amazing, but it missed the yellow Datsun rolling over the line at a about 5mph, which for some reason was hilarious.

So last night I joined my first multiplayer race. I attempted to choose a car, but then the race started, giving me some A-class thing (I think). So the race starts, instantly rearended by the need4speed Formula 1 assclown behind me. I did the whole lane-denying (is that what it's called? When you own the whole road so a guy can't pass you?) thing to some guy, he didn't have it, and bonked my fender, veering off into a wall. So the race goes on for a while, I notice I'm in 9/10 and the guy trailing me is 1000 feet away, and the guy ahead of him a full mile gone. What the hell. I eventually just quit to go try the Muscle Drag race. What did I see but two X-class chucklefucks and me in my C-class. So yeah, might not be getting into MP unless I get in one of these goon groups.

Or just try rejoining with a competitive car.
