I'd like #79, since it's my preferred number when I race, but boy those Macross/UN Spacey cars look really good too.

Which ever you prefer most. I can slap a 79 on the side of one of the Macross cars (just let me know if you want it clean or not). Also, is your GT Betai? thats what I have on my list for some reason.


greg, I'll toss the Marlboro one your way, since that one isn't claimed yet. Do you want it to be #69? Also, whoever bagsquad is needs to let me know what he wants as he has reserved #69 as well.

LiquidRain, I'll write you in as well. Edit: apparently you're not "officially" GTCC? what's your GT again (or just send me a friend request).


Regarding the Bentley (I got it too), I think I spent more time changing colors on my "skittles" cars than whoever put that together. That license plate is godawful, and why did they outline the hood that way? Maybe I'll paint mine over with a tiger scheme just to show off (though it may end up Massillon Tigers).


Edit: IOwnCalculus, I forgot to change the number on your Stealth car. Right now it says 80 when you asked for 81. All you have to do is change the '0' to '1' - it's Forza Font, so shouldn't be a problem.

AUGR has a TBA/TBA race on the schedule. Not sure how many of our Wednesday Night Regulars picked one of these faboo cars up, though.

If I'm going to pubbie race, I don't use quick match - head down to the circuit race section, and pick a class. I find the most fun between F and C classes...once you go above C, I find that it's all too easy for some pubbie to bump you and send you from 2nd to last place in the blink of an eye.

Whatever number is on there is fine, I just liked the look of the 69 car and I'm a child. My usual racing number is 219, but it's fine if that doesn't fit or you don't feel like changing up the car.

You get the frog vinyl OK, or do I still need to gift that to you?

So y'all know this little bastard shaved some time off yesterday. Hopefully he's done because I have had it with that rear end salad of a car.

His current time is 2:11:598. I just ran a 2:11:597. This will have to do. Please let it do.

Approach with caution.
2.11.598? It's rare for me to bitch about any of the cars in game, I can usually find something redeemable about the thing or can at least say, "it's just not a car I'd choose to drive." But that Weismann is an absolute piece of poo poo. And it's not like he threw down an absolute poo poo time in it. No, Turn 10 is laughing as all of us are forced to drive the absolute worst car in the game for hours on end. There is nothing good about this car. It's like hiding in an outhouse while the Nazis piss and poo poo on you.

In my mind I say "gently caress this". Right now, in the real world, I'm loading up F4. gently caress this.

He's been driving that track constantly. I clicked on his xbox profile every so often over the past few days (because I'm a creepy e-stalker like that) and it had been on rivals mode pretty much all day every day since that thing started. That said, if you watch his replay it took him 30 minutes to set that time and it looks like he never figured out how to stop without ABS in all that time so I doubt it's getting much better.

I personally found out I was losing a ton of time by shifting too much (using normal manual). I don't know if I could get any further improvement by switching to manual w/ clutch, I'm like 0.300 up on his time but if I can deal with driving that car again I might have another go in clutch mode just in case he does something really lame like setting a new time the night before the thing is over. I don't even care about the prize car that much, Rivals just has a way of making me feel grudges towards anonymous internet car racers

The first two gears on the Wiesmann are pretty much useless, I shaved a couple seconds off my time when I figured out it's better to just stay at 3rd or above everywhere but the first section.

I'm sitting on 2:10.7xx and I'm pretty sure I could knock another second off, but that car is just not much fun so I'll just hope for the best instead.

This helped a decent amount, I knocked about half a second off by not going below third gear after the first turn. The car seems to understeer badly no matter what gear I'm in! The only part I still can't really figure out is the twisty section after the first turn but I'm tired of the car/track at this point and got my time under 2:11 so I probably won't bother anymore. At least that challenge finally forced me to learn how to do hairpin turns.
