    Forza 4 Drivers' Challenge #14

    So I really enjoyed adding the modifications to the challenge last week and I'd like to keep that in for this week.

    For cars, you can use anything Italian; the only requirement is that the point score thingy not exceed A class. Also, I think we should try allowing tuning beyond just tire pressures as well. If this ends up getting too involved, we can always get rid of it.

    Our track will be Mugello Full Circuit to keep the Italian theme going.

    Have fun!

    I like this. If we get to specific then people will just use leader board cars. But If we make it vague like you did then perfect.

          So we leave tomorrow morning for Summit Point, and as such I'm not sure how much time I'll have to do laps. I did a couple more as prep, just in case:

          As a side note bmwguy, I used your tune for the Cortina at Hockenheim and I was only .05sec faster after 5 laps. Pretty interesting.

            Welp, finally got my xbox hooked up again. I've been eyeing these challenges from the beginning and I hope I can continue to participate.

            600 pt. Ultra-Stratos after 6 or 7 laps.

              Awesome, another contender! I took a break from packing to do a few more laps:

                Done packing, made super hasty 2WD Lancia 037 build, did a few laps. Seriously one of my favorite cars in the game to drive.

                2:01.896

                Going to bed now, long haul tomorrow.

                  So I noticed this with all the cars I built. Either some were way of pace or I just bracketed my time in like 4 cars......

                  As for this I am sure this is a leaderboard worthy time....
                  Do that in a actuall race and rank pretty high.

                    I'm going to switch up the car today and see if I can do better. I feel pretty rusty as it is, but I might be able to remain competitive with my empty work schedule :mrgreen:

                    This is probably the best I can do:

                        Bought and built a Maserati 300 S going the super-exotic lightweight route. Could barely get it into the 3's. Million credit mistake haha.

                            I hope I have a chance to try some other cars! I have a feeling things are going to get pretty busy around here though...

                              :(

                              I tried the 037 by the way trying to see what the fuss was about. It will suffice to say I was nowhere close to your time... I think my skills in tuning leave something to be desired.
