Not technically related, but thought I would share what I've been up to with my actual small-bore vintage racer! :D



Hope to take a stab at this challenge in the next day or so.

So what are the rules for posting a time? Clean laps?

Clean lap, take a picture either at race results menu, leaderboard, etc. and post. Make sure your gamertag, car, and time are all visible.

This week proved to be difficult than i thought. Anyway, finally got a lap time i was happy with.

Road Atlanta is a deceptively tough track. You need to be pretty careful around the curbing too, the stuff is nasty.

I flipped four times off the curbing on the first chicane before i got clean lap.

Congrats on the win! Looking forward to the next one!

Any thoughts on the next one? Seems like we should open up the rules again, need more interest.

I thought of a challenge that could be interesting. lets start with say a stock 2002. Each following week, we move up a performance level until the last week when the car is maxed out. Does that make sense?

Okay, so week 1 totally stock no mods or tuning, week 2 up to D-max with no tuning (?), week 3 up to C-max with tuning, etc?

Correct

Sounds good to me, I say we cap it at 3 weeks though, same car for multiple weeks gets a little old. Maybe skip a class each week. Stock > C > A or something.
