    Forza 4 Drivers' Challenge #9

    Alright guys, I enjoyed the tossable nature/rally heritage of our last challenge, so I kept that going this week!

    I immediately wanted to do Sears Point/Infineon/Sonoma Raceway long course, but wanted to use an American car. Options were limited in terms of cheapish/fun to drive cars. First, I tried the Escort RS Cosworth (did a 1:56.803 on lap 3 if you're curious), but I thought it was just a bit too easy to drive.


    I fixed that.

    This week's car is the RS200 Evolution! Enjoy the oversteer! :mrgreen:

    I did 3 or 4 laps to get us a starting time:

    1:42.958
    Have fun!!

                  Hot laps so flying standing in reverse how ever you pull it off. Just be honest.
                  So if you do it in a race so be it

                    Haven't seen much action here so I thought I'd update.

                    First off, decided to do works livery for this car too. :twisted: Halfway done.

                    Second, did a couple laps after working on that and cut it down to this:

                    1:41.015

                    What a fun car.

                      was able to get 2 laps in last night 1:42.372. Hopefully I can get some more done this weekend.

                            I did consider that, but it just seemed too...mean. Just, super mean.
