Stock upgrades, but obviously tune it to how you want. Post your lap times, plus any assists used, here.

Go!

What do you mean by stock upgrades?

Also, do you do this in arcade mode or career? I'm a bit Forza-stupid, but I was rattling through the career mode last night.

Stock Upgrades?
WHich mode - is there a freeplay mode to take this car into, as all the Arcade TTs are car locked, no?

AceAceBaby · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 13:17

I guess you could do them either in Arcade - Free Run, or Career (rummage with gubbins) - Tune Car - Test Drive?

myp · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 13:19

Free run is easier as you can use cars from the arcade or the career garage in there. Stock upgrades means no upgrades, basically.

OK, gotcha.

Should've just said no upgrades, then

Are we looking for a best lap, basically? As in, it can be a second lap (no wheel spinning off the line slowing you down)?

myp · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 13:34

Drive as many laps as you like. I called it 'stock upgrades' because that's what the game calls it.

Fur play! So we'll definitely be able to select the Enzo in free mode? Only I don't have enough credits to buy one...

Grim... · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 13:48

Just shout if you can't, and I'll gift you one.

myp · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 13:49

Yeah, the Enzo should be unlocked in arcade mode. I can afford to gift people one if they haven't got one, too.

WTB · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 14497

Yeah, I'll take a red Enzo please if you're offering

myp · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 14:00

Check to see if it's in your arcade garage first.

WTB · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 14497

I'll let you know when I'm home from work. Thanks, though

AceAceBaby · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 20:43

What a pants car.

37.636 to start it off.

Dudley · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8679

Going to take a punt at this after I see the 125cc race from Germany last weekend.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

39.695. I'm not particularly good at driving.

Damn, I got 38.something. Time to try again.

Dudley · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8679

OohClose.

37.789, no setup changes at all.

myp · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 23:07

37.936. Hopefully I can do a bit better than that once I've had a bit of a sleep...

Dudley · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8679

Yeah, Ace's time is more than doable, but then for Ace, 36.0 is probably doable

Dudley · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8679

Right here we are so far. Since Jonarob just said "38", I've given him 38.999 for now.

myp · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 23:28

Cor, it's close at the front. Jonny's got 38.699 according to my leaderboard.

Dudley · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8679

Oh, I should add. No assists.

myp · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 23:29

No assists for me either, natch.

WTB · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 14497

Ahem, lots of assists

Pundabaya · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 5016

38.619 AT TC ABS for me.

Ramsea · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 963

I got 37.302 earlier albeit with ABS and TCS turned on.

Wasnt a great lap and I imagine 36's is quite achievable for most on here.

Might have another go tomorrow night with the baby assists turned off.

Dudley · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8679

Right, So Ramsea takes the lead but confusingly, AceAceBaby retains the lead in the "Not a girl" category.

myp · **Posted:** Tue Jul 15, 2008 9:14

Can you add four columns for the assists used (AT TCS STM ABS)?

Mine are all 'no'.

AceAceBaby · **Posted:** Tue Jul 15, 2008 9:59

I had a lap that was -0.440 at the kink sector, but I flubbed the hairpin, so I can go quicker yet. Then I might look at stopping the car pushing so horribly.

Dudley · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8679

That's tricky because when I sort I have to just sort bezzies and time otherwise the calcs fuck up.

hmm, unless...

myp · **Posted:** Tue Jul 15, 2008 16:58

Fuck, I can't do any better than 38.1 today.

AceAceBaby · **Posted:** Tue Jul 15, 2008 20:46

37.553

37.480

37.244

myp · **Posted:** Wed Jul 16, 2008 8:21

Are those your sector times? Christ, you're slow...

AceAceBaby · **Posted:** Wed Jul 16, 2008 8:47

1.5 degrees of negative camber on the front, which evened out the tire temperatures (the outside was heating more I could see over 20 laps of so). I did try as far as two degrees, but then the inside got warmer. I put some more pressure in the fronts too, though I dunno if that helped or hindered. I also softened the front roll bar a bit (to about 9 down from 11).

Dudley · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8679

And Ace leads both class nutter and overall!

AceAceBaby · **Posted:** Wed Jul 16, 2008 9:02

I keep finding slightly different ways through the kink- I think my current best included more braking and shifting down to 3rd even, but I've had similar times holding in fourth. Taking too much kerb means a trip into the boonies though. Likewise on the sweeping right hander, I see my other two ghosts taking different lines (and different gears from memory) but it all comes together the same by the kink. I think more work on the suspension to get the car to pull into the turn more might help.

Or I could get my wheel out and try with that.

WTB · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 14497

When's the deadline for this? I'm gonna try my damnedest tonight, and announce my awesome time one minute before the deadline. Bahahahahah.

Only kidding, I'm gonna struggle to get 37 seconds.

AceAceBaby · **Posted:** Wed Jul 16, 2008 10:07

I dunno. I'd be happy to leave them open if people want to go back and work on ones they like. We could just add one each week or two, and most people would focus on that I spose.

Try my settings- the camber adjustment should help a lot.

myp · **Posted:** Wed Jul 16, 2008 11:03

I reckon I can overhaul Dudley with some work on the setup, but the top two are miles out in front (not that Ramsea's time counts anyway

).

Dudley · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8679

You're assuming I can't improve.

AceAceBaby · **Posted:** Wed Jul 16, 2008 11:09

I think someone could get into 46. I don't know if that someone is me, but I think it's possible.

myp · **Posted:** Wed Jul 16, 2008 11:13

46 is most definitely possible.

Dudley · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8679

8 tenths? No that's there, whether it's there for ME I'm not sure.

AceAceBaby · **Posted:** Wed Jul 16, 2008 19:05

37.022

Pundabaya · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 5016

38.255

Dudley · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8679

Guys do say if you're not using girly driving aids, otherwise I'll assume you are.

myp · **Posted:** Thu Jul 17, 2008 0:10

My times seem to be getting worse. I managed a 38.2 tonight after racing.

Ramsea · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 963

37.005 for me tonight...without any assists.

So close to a 36 but it will definitely come.
