Forza 4 - Fiat Abarth Challenge

[StevenRB45]

Just done a 1.16.940 in the 131

Think you've done it got 1:16:968...

Which is annoying as did a 1:16:725 but had a rewind halfway through the lap and just couldn't seem to replicate it, never has top 300 in the world on a track I dislike felt like failure.

Yay I might've in with a shout here! Another 3 hundredths though and you've got me...I may have another go tonight see if I can make it slightly more comfortable haha

1:16:898

With this car and track combo pad is easier and faster. Mainly because even with all assists off it is assisted, its nearly impossible to lock the wheels compared to the wheel and makes nailing follow through and the second to last corner a lot easier, that and you cannot induce understeer with the pad which you can with the wheel.

I vote for C class fwd and still Camino reverse.

Deadlines tonight people, i'll have a look at the in game leaderboards and add any times that have been run but not posted up in the last week later.

Unless the numbers pick up next week I will end the current championship. I plan on leaving a few events open over summer and then pick the weekly events up again later in the year.

1.17.995, not far off the pace but this proper racing malarkey just isn't for me, prefer drifting so much more

Could add a drift event to the Nurburgring line up!

Random Round 3 set up and ready to go, please do not post any times up until the current round is over. The track randomly selected from the suggestions is Maple Valley Full Circuit! Theme is B Class - Pre 1980 American V8 Muscle cars, should be interesting!

Nice one guys!

I'll end the weekly time trials tonight, PuntoMk2 got hacked and the entire media/games/tech section got deleted along with my thread with all the results etc in one post. Which isn't ideal!

I'll set up the Nurburgring trials and leave them open over summer!

Round closed! I'll get all the results up ASAP!

Series results! Thanks to everyone who took the time to enter, I honestly didn't think it would go this well when I first posted the idea up!

I have included averages for each driver, next time I will be setting a max amount of points per round instead of basing it on the number of entries which should give more accurate scores.

If you see a mistake let me know.
