What a great idea I am in.

[aquiel2k]

Great idea.
Event #1:  Tsukuba, Lap Time = 1:12.357
(Is a improvement allowed to submit or not?)

[D Seeker34]

Are times posted here on the honor basis?

[GRD 4 3L]

Great idea.

Improvement times absolutely allowed.  1:12.357-1:16.000=3.643 = -3 points.  Just 0.4 seconds more and you'll get -4 points!

Are times posted here on the honor basis?

Yes, but may ask for proof for REALLY fast times.  If you have a really good time, then save the replay.

[...]  1:12.357-1:16.000=3.643 = -3 points.  Just 0.4 seconds more and you'll get -4 points!

Your wish is my command. 

[...]  If you have a really good time, then save the replay.

No idea, what a really good time is, but saved the replay. I don't think I can squeeze out another 0.941s.

[GRD 4 3L]

That's a sound barrier breaking times, aquiel2k!

Got  a time of 1:11.882 in my car. Haven't tried the CG car.

It's on the leadersboard. I just checked the leadersboard and it has my car as a very strange PI. Last night I put my car at default E275 and used it but this is weird.

That's another quick time; neck in neck with aquiel2k's time.  Same points though, at -4.

CG car is completely stock with tire pressure bumped up to 32/32 and nothing else.

Piggy misses Forza and will try to participate! 

And we miss your participation!

OK, now that I have a brand spanking new 360S we can continue on with the races.

I'll have this week's challenge announced tonight (got to run some laps to determine the target time).

[GRD 4 3L]

OK, so this week's track is Bernese Alps Club (shortest track).  Target time is 1:40.000.  It should provide some challenge to beat 1:40.

This car is just soooooo good in handling and grip.  It could be the only car in FM4 and I'll still be happy.

This Friday, I am rebooting our Friday meet after missing 1 week due to my misfortune (or rather good fortune since I've upgraded now).  I am coming back from business trip but I should be back well before our Friday night race time of 9pm Central, 10pm Eastern time.

For Friday, we will run this car on both Tsukuba+Bernese Alps Club.  I'll be on reduced power.

Bernese Alps Club 1:40,449 1:39,167 1:38.951

I saw your 1:37.841, so there is room for improvement.
GRD what is your time at Tsukuba?

[GRD 4 3L]

That time will be good for -1 point!  Sent Tsukuba time by PM.

I will put on my gloves and helmet and see what I can do. Sorry I only ran a few laps last week I was busy at my modling bench.
