Forza 3 Xmas Laptime Challenge

[Alex H]

Amalfi Coast Full Circuit.

Renault Twingo 133 (F200).

No aids apart from clutch. Anyone using aids has to put which aids used next to their laptime. Only verified times allowed, if you go over the white lines on this track, chances are your laps will be voided with a warning triangle. They don't count. No modifications, standard arcade car only. Competition ends at midnight 1st Jan '10.

I'll start with 1:06.391.

 

[Adamio]

I'll give this a go, just started using my wheel and manual gears today

 

[Bucko]

No aids apart from clutch..

So no aids allowed apart from the ones that you want. Fair.

I cannot drive without ABS. I can't check as i'm at work but i'm sure my time won't be competitive anyway, i'm only average.

I'll do it tomorrow and post my time

Driving with no ABS is great once you get used to it (should be easy in a Twingo aswell)

It's fairly well accepted that a clutch isn't an on/off device, and as there's no "third trigger" it renders the control useless unless you have a wheel.

Other than that, hardcore is the way forward, if you can't drive without ABS, it's a good reason to try to learn. You will be quicker without ABS.

 

[conneh]

I'll give it a shot tomorow. See how i get on/

 

[Brian172]

I may give this a try. i always turn the aids off anyway, makes the handling more fun.

 

[Alex H]

1:05.848

 

[Marky_]

Too late now. Will try tomorrow after work.

Its insanely easy mate just break as you would but stop just before the trigger is fully in.

I find that the end of my finger (the skin) will touch the housing the trigger goes into as i get to the maximum i can break... may not work for you but i find it just as easy as it being on.

 

[Aluco]

Just push the stop pedal until you hear a squeal then easy off slightly. Eventually you just know the point of lock up !

 

[Hutchie]

i managed a 1.12... rubbish

You're probably losing most of your time when you braked at that point I hit you. It's flat and you were braking for over a second

im a steady eddie

i need to drive like powey

 

[Christopher]

I've smashed it already, but picked up a tiny foul on the exit of the last bend.

I'll try tomorrow, properly.

 

[172Ben]

01:06:570

that'll do. Great car the twingo

 

[Ja5on]

1.05.833

 

[ukaskew]

Will give this a go shortly. I switched off ABS about two weeks ago and will never go back, the trigger has just enough travel to make it fantastically progressive and far more rewarding/enjoyable than just mashing the brakes with ABS.

 

[Revels]

My mates missus has bought him a steering wheel for Christmas. Can't wait to give it a bash!!

I'll be hopeless and miles away for your times though.

 

[ukaskew]

1:09:621 with a pad

Worryingly I can't really see where I can be quicker, so I can't see me troubling the 1:05s etc!

 

[SlowLow&Sideways]

1:05:645. No aids. manual etc.

 

[Paul_G]

1.06.330.....with no aids and with wheel and pedals.

[Ja5on]

1.05.583

pad, all aids off apart from auto clutch

 

[Marky_]

1.06.6 is the fastest clean one i've done so far.

97% of my laps are being voided

 

[realnumber 1]

105.295 Clean will do me for now
Thats using the pad, only the clutch aid thing and using manual with the in car view:approve:

 

[Hutchie]

^^^ you did 50 laps.. stuff that

 

[172Ben]

50 laps! I would imagine you could do it blind folded after that many, i gave up with my time after 6 laps.

 

[realnumber 1]

Came so close to getting the best time from about lap 10 but one slight error every time so I just had to carry on lol

manual gears?

 

[Bucko]

1:07:558 with ABS. F**k knows how so many of you are getting 1:06 and 1:05, especially when my time is 1116 best in the world out of 32,000 people!

 

[ukaskew]

manual gears?

Started using manual recently although it's not gaining me a great deal of time. I just need to accept the fact that I'm not very quick

I assume we aren't making any mods/adjustments to the car whatsoever?

Only thing it lets you change are the tyre psi's

 

[Alex H]

Most of us hadn't made any adjustments at all. Some of us have fiddled with tyre pressures.. tut tut :rasp:

 

[-Leigh-]

Closest I managed was a 1:10 something.

Although, I've only played the game for a few hours so far. No aids is the way forward though, I seem to be quicker than with them on!!

Looks like we have a winner:approve:.

 

[Christopher]

I'll have a go later.
