Yup we are overdue another sesh I think. Much more freedom to build cars since the last time too.
Haha the temptation is strong but I don't want to hurt the safety rating even though I don't think it makes a difference anyway. I had to at least just give it a try though. It should be banned from MP like the Lotus 340r used to be.

Lol - how come that got banned?
Clio 182
Presumably because the publisher have absolutely zero clue about balancing and that car happened to be by far the best in class, hence why everyone was using it. Easier to ban it than fix your game I guess
At the time for MP I think most open wheel cars were removed from the class hoppers because they could be easily punted off track from minimal contact but it also just so happened the Lotus was a top LB car.
You can't really expect every car to be balanced surely? When you get a car built for the track vs a road car which is modified the track car will obviously dominate.
The issue is the class based lobbies which in fairness they've tried to phase out but it's a massively popular mode and most the player base love it including myself but obviously at times the balancing is off but I think that's pretty expected in class based. Generally the lobbies are really well mixed and some surprisingly good racing can come out of it.

Obviously I wouldn't expect every car in a class to be balanced, but if you're pulling 14 seconds over second place then either matchmaking is wrong or the car balancing is. If it's consistently one car that's in first place surely that suggests the car isn't balanced, rather than the player skill level?
Did you also see the Exo down in 8th? Lol a good car will only get you so far so I don't think it's consistently winning but when you get someone who is at least semi decent it can be frustrating to race against.. I doubt most people are getting a 1:30 on that track in that car tbh I'd have to check where that would stand on the LB but maybe top 100 🤷♂️.
I don't think it'd hurt to remove it from class based lobbies as far as balancing I dont think they would or even should change it now because the car should be handling like its on rails that's the point lol the game would feel a bit dumb if a MK2 golf can keep up with a Exocet track car 😂
You've never seen the Pinderwagen then 😂
Haha I should have known there would be an example out there 😂
Now the question is can I make a MK2 golf lap Nurburgring in 7:23 seconds on Forza. Probably not lol.

Made the jump onto the Forza bandwagon last night with Horizon 4 in the current Steam Summer Sale.
I like how I can detach my brain and literally just race about with different cars, without any of the seriousness and concentration required of the likes of ACC.
Apparently it's being withdrawn from sale by the end of this year too - so if you want it, maybe now's the time to nab it?

So I decided to see what that Exocet can do on VIR North as above. As expected 1:30 is up there in the top 100 easily but I managed to improve on that a bit 👀
Also a quick hot lap in this RS4 Avant for fun. For some reason all the LB got wiped for Nurburgring and Laguna Seca which is a bit annoying but gives the chance to go and set some times again. 7:07 for this one which isn't great for S class but not bad for the car I think.

I can spend ages making logos but I never know what to fill the rest of the space with, luckily this looks decent with the tic tac spam.
Is there any way to run against your ghost car?
I fired this up for the weekend and I've decided I'm not very good. I'm down to light assists but still have the braking line on as I don't know the tracks, so I'd like to get a bit of practice in and chasing a ghost has always worked well for me.

Yeah Rivals set a time and then go into the leaderboard and select your time and you should be able to race against your own ghost. You can do the same against anyone too always a good way to find a bit more time by chasing a faster ghost.
