The R1 time trials on the ring would be much better with more laps. It's terrible when you have a really good clean lap invalidated because you close the 30+ second gap to the person infront of you.

Ehhh, a little side note on this one.

Im sure people who race with me have seen me do plenty of "blocking", you just need to know how to do it right. Swerving around on a straight is one thing, but if you place your car on the fast line and force them to take a slower line or back off, its the responsibility of the passing car to make a clean pass. (if someone has only halfway passed me and im exiting a corner, they either back off or are ending up with two tires on the grass, no car contact needed) I've kept faster AUGR goons behind me for 20 minutes without anything that would get me in trouble in a real racing series. Its a skill in and of itself.

Dick racing or legitimate? If you've raced with me i welcome criticism. (my big AUGR rivals tend to be Vertigo and PrettyPanda, so these two know exactly what i'm talking about)


Last night during the two laps on The Ring is a perfect example of this. You blocked me on the last corner of the first lap. Was it a bit annoying? Yes. But it was a perfectly acceptable racing move and I would have done it if I was in the lead.

I got a 1:44 with no TCS or ABS not even trying very hard, its not THAT crazy. :( Set me as a rival ("[AUGR]MattD1zzl3") and copy my lines.


This is why im an advocate for stock unmodified cars, some of you are spoiled with "Race suspension, race roll bars, race tires" and have trouble with anything normal. I just about gave prettypanda a brain aneurysm by making him drive a stock E class car :)

Hey! I still put down a 1:44 in the Rampage bus without TCS, ABS, or STM without doing more than 10 laps. I'm just much better with my stripey tuned cars.

Nevermind... Turns out that it sucks as an R2 car, bit of a let down.
You might just need more practice with it. I was setting times about 10 seconds a lap faster on The Ring than my current R2 times.

How fast did you go round the ring in? I hate the ring and got an 8:03 on my first go. I'm sure I could knock 10 seconds out of that with a few laps.
I did a 7:16 standing start, then a 7:04 flying.

There is a new time you have to beat. 1:28:8. The Forza gods were looking down on me and cleared a path through all the corners.

I'm rooting for you! I probably have anywhere from .5 to a full second that I can still find, that was only my third lap with the car. I know I can brake much deeper into most of the corners and take the chicane a bit quicker, but it's difficult to push to hard while worrying about the blind AI side-swiping you.

Man, once again the rivals contest for a unicorn is beyond my grasp. I just can't get under 1.20 even on full manual controls.

Shame too, its a Mines Skyline if the polls are to be trusted :(

It's all about slowing down enough to eliminate the crazy amount of understeer that Viper has. There were about five laps in a row where I tried to take the follow-through and just went straight into the field.

My favorites are the NA Miata, the Lancia 037 in the AUGR garage, and the Datsun 510. All three are tuned to where the car is nearly effortless to drive, and they're a joy to take out and flog.

I'm glad you like it! I've spent probably 20+ hours tuning and test driving it.

When you're selecting a car's paint job or loadout, it shows you every paint job and loadout you have for every car, instead of just the ones that are relevant. Why?

This one actually makes sense. It's where you upload your tunes/paint jobs to the Storefront. If you press start it will filter for just the car you have currently selected.

Absolutely. I can easily spend that much in less than three months going out to lunch and dinner with friends. Two or more years of fun with my Internet Friends driving fast cars is more than worth it.

The only part of this whole situation that annoys me is having to buy a PS3 just to play GT6 (assuming the AUGR crowd switched over). Polyphony really couldn't have it ready for the PS4 launch?
