Forza Motorsport 6 Challenge - 2016

Good luck, hopefully there won't be too many broken controllers after this. For those that have not experienced the much advertised "hydroplaning" feature, you will now..and you will be flying off the track while doing so ;)

You get to experience a wet track in one of your first few races in the game and subsequent some hydroplaning. BUT that is only in a class C car, so yeah, this should suck :D

I just thought of a flaw with the hard mode idea.
It is going to be difficult to do it with a different car than was initially set with the challenge. unless you ONLY do the challenge with the "hard mode" vehicle. Otherwise everyone is going to have to post so many different screenshots due to leader boards taking only the fastest time into consideration. I think it is a very cool and novel idea, but still think keep it plain and simple might be the best. For the organizer as well as the drivers. Just my opinion :)

True, that is why i would rather just call it a "bonus" and to qualify, you need to actually post your best time in that car, not some other car, that is the whole point of it. If you drive the bonus car and post a screenshot and then revert to another car and post a better time , you can't claim points in both categories.

Hence why i say it should be a "bonus" and not necessarily more difficult to achieve a good time with it. It can also give some guys who are always that 2-3 seconds off the pace, the opportunity to still get extra points for using the bonus car/restriction because chances are they will still be 2-3 seconds off the pace whether they use the bonus car[s] or whatever the leaderboards uses.


Besides at some point we are going to run into these issues anyway, since some tracks you will already have times on from a previous session and maybe you are unable to beat the time.....what then? You will be posting screenshots anyway.

Hence why i say it should be a "bonus" and not necessarily more difficult to achieve a good time with it, it can be a way of restricting people to the same car without forcing it. It can also give some guys who are that 2-3 seconds off the pace with the fastest car anyway, the opportunity to still get extra points for using the bonus car/restriction because chances are they will still be 2-3 seconds off the pace, but in the restricted car.

Wait what? So you get points for both the challenges? I think [MENTION=9789]DieGrootHammer[/MENTION] understood it differently.
This is going to cause confusion, I can already see it coming. And some people have problem with screenshots (myself included) not being able to post them.

You can see what date time was posted.
We did mention earlier to try pick a challenge where not many of your friends have set times on yet.

I just thinking adding so many variables where every1 IS going to get focused is just simple

Uhm no, i said you can't get extra points if you don't actually post the best time with the hard mode restriction. So if the challenge is to drive any Class R car with a "hard mode" of only using 1950s cars and you post a time in a 1950s car and then OVERRIDE it with a 1990s car , you can't then get extra points, simple.

This is not 2 challenges, it's 1 , with bonus points for getting fastest time with the specific additional restrictions. That's how i understood it. If you override it with another car , tough, no extra points.

OR make it so that the Hard mode only has to do with assists. Much easier to see that on a leader board as Hammer suggested

Mmmm... okay :? Guess it is you challenge after all. We saw with the first challenge where a guy wanted to make it more complicated it failed and times were dismissed. Just don't want that to happen yet again because guys don't want to keep it to plain and simple track, class and car

Well i think it is relatively simple? You will have the same story with Assists. If you post a time without any assists, and then go and override it by turning all assists back on, then you can't then make a claim on the bonus/hard points . The best time on the board for the week should be what counts and it's easy to determine from that whether you get bonus points.

So i don't want people driving say a 1950s car, and posting screenshots, and then revert to drive another car and post screenshots of that....as i said, it's not 2 separate challenges.

So if you have to decide before you start the challenge if you want to use the other car or not?
I am just stating what happened in weeks 3 challenge where the guys creator thought it was simple as well :)

I find it simple, but when a challenge is set and there is confusion from day 1 from certain members, then there is bound to be troubles :)
