Nothing concrete, but I am in the high 3:55 area I think. Although I use some driver aids and don't know if they are allowed come race day (in which case I'll go from bad to worse!). I think someone mentioned they were in the 3:40-3:50 range which means I think I'll be trying to avoid last place I think haha.

If anyone wants to ride in style, I have a Ferrari 250 Testarossa that I have built for C425, but I'll let someone have it for the race to turn into an S650 monster if you promise to give it back.

I'm putting times down between 3:52 and 4:15. I haven't been playing a whole lot of Forza lately though and I've become pretty terrible (more so than usual). I'll probably be chilling at the back of the grid with the other bad drivers.

I get around 4:00 and 4:05 in my E-type - my inability (and the cars) to corner makes the last section of the track fun to say the least Edit: Also I'm using ABS and auto-trans because I'm useless JingleBells fucked around with this message at 12:56 on Nov 17, 2011 |

Yeah I'm at around 4:00 with no assists besides an auto trans. I haven't done enough laps to see what happens with my tires, though.

I'm not going to participate, but I souped up a 300SL to 650PI and did a few laps, just for shits and giggles. I was coming in almost dead on at 4 minutes, with no assists and manual w/o clutch. I made two set ups, one with full aero and one with none. The non-aero car was almost 20 mph faster down the straight (201 vs 184) and a few seconds quicker per lap, on average, but it was much more stressful to drive and generally not as fun. The idea of trying to keep it in line for more than 5 laps, and with traffic no less, is not an appealing one. I suppose it might be worth trying a compromise, with either full aero, but set at or near minimum values, or equipping only rear aero. I did equip only the rear spoiler and looked at the benchmark function, which said the top speed would be 191 mph, but I didn't try driving it. If anyone wants the setup I came up with, I'd be happy to just gift it to you, that way you can use it as a base and adjust something if you don't like a particular aspect. Hell, if somebody wants, I can just gift the whole car to use for the race, though I would like it back. I'm not too fond of how it drives at 650, but for B and A class I think it's one of my favorites now.

The hard part was not hitting the randomly distributed R1 cars stuck on their sides anywhere and everywhere on the track. It was one of the most frustrating races I've had yet.

If anyone is still looking for a tune/setup for Goon LeMans, I have an extra tune that I don't need and am willing to give away. Made it for the Ferrari 246 Dino, and it runs around a ~3:52. Its in the LLJK garage for now, but if you want the tune so you can paint it, send my GT a message (Logue 1) and I'll get it to you.

I ended up going with Logue's tune after trying again last minute to fix mine. My fastest during the race was 2:09.445 and I was around 2:10 until the tires were 10 laps old, then it dropped back into the 11's. It was a fun race and I look forward to next week. I will post a couple pictures here of my car tonight, I dont think I can save the design since i used other peoples vinyls, and I didn't have a number on the hood or bumper so I probably dont qualify for the paint award due to giving the finger to the rules.

If the dashboard says "Reading..." and then "Open Tray" more than likely your disc drive's lens needs cleaning. Get a torque screw driver and a paper clip and follow these directions. It'll void the warranty but at this point you got nothin to lose. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj2A7mGGjuY More than likely there'll be a bunch of dust in there. Blow it out, swab the lens clean with some alcohol and see if that fixes your problem. $5 fix for me. AwwJeah fucked around with this message at 23:09 on Nov 17, 2011 |

Puddin posted:ABS off, oh poo poo I hope you guys like cars locking up their brakes on every corner Adjust your brake balance to favor your front brakes. You'll be far less likely to lock the rears up coming into a corner. I usually run something like 65/35 in RWD cars and 60/40 in FWD cars. YMMV.
