Thanks Flex. I really struggled to beat your time. I did eventually and then decided to try the Honda which was in the end a bit quicker than the MX5.
I don't know how to post a screenshot of my time though :confused: other than taking a photo of the tv
When is the next challenge coming?
Well done McPhil and the rest of you crazy fast people.
The next challenge will come today. It's @platinumtemplar's turn to pick but he hasn't been participating so not sure what happens now.
I tried the Civic, but soo much under steer wow! I can see you are going to make my work hard with the rest of the challengesQuote:

As soon as my bloody screenshot is found, will I update the full leaderboard and give an update.
So this week's challenge is down to [MENTION=385]diabolus[/MENTION], but I know he has been inactive due to IRL commitments. That's fine. He is still more than welcome of posting a challenge today. But to keep things going, should diabolus to pick a challenge by the end of today, we will have to move on to the next challenger, which will be [MENTION=15883]GregRedd[/MENTION]
Sorry for no attendance this week, been a real stinker with work then decided to get away for the weekend. I'm also away for a week from this weekend, let's hope I can partake even if a few laps.
Hehehehe! Phil and I had a real race going ! Looking forward to the next one!Quote:

I don't have Forza in front of me, but here's the gist of it, we can discuss the car selection option though, this is suppose to be a fast and wet challenge.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Track : Silverstone GP : In the Rain
Class : R
Cars Limit : All cars EXCEPT the F1/Grand prix cars and none of these toy/xtreme cars (KTM Xbow and such, it should not be looking like a F1 car..not sure what you call them)***
Tuning : Any (up to the limit of the R class, which i believe is 900) *
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*I was contemplating a twist here in limiting the tuning to 850, forcing you to tune yourself, because most tunes will try to max it out at the 900 limit, but let's leave that for later options ;)
*** We can consider making this a full F1 challenge (i.e. only F1 cars) as an alternative.
How much do those cars cost? :3Quote:

I'd be keen on the F1 only challengeQuote:

That would suck a lot for Blazzok though who just got the game since he won't be able to buy the car. Except if you take this week to go through the single player campaign thing [MENTION=6280]Blazzok[/MENTION]!
I'm not sure, i will need to check, i think the F1 cars can be pricey though. I know i got a few free ones with the car-packs, there were one just recently with the latest pack too, but i've rarely used the F1 cars....might be an interesting challenge if it's not too expensive. There are a few classic F1 cars too.Quote:

Don't worry about me, if I can't afford it it isn't an issue. I'll set a lap time in my Honda :DQuote:

In the absence of the game itself, here are all the cars and their prices...now to see where the F1 cars are.
EDIT: Most F1 cars will be 1mil + , so probably going to be a tricky option.

Eish, guys making challenges so complicated that they themselves don't even understand it! =D Could we please keep i plain and simple to avoid what happened last. Because it is bound to happen again. Could we either limit it to something that is filterable, like Class, Age, make. or all use same car for challenges. Because if the guy that set the challenge is not sure what the is that he set himself then we are all going to have a bad time! =D Or am I the only one that feels this way?
I'm with you on that one! The less chance for error the better.Quote:

Okay, [MENTION=385]diabolus[/MENTION], I want to be absolutely clear on the cars that we don't end up with the same issue as what happened a week ago.
I foresee some issues with this challenge, as some people will take track day cars, because they are 100% production cars. They are impractical as all hell, but not racing only whatsoever. Thus, they cannot be excluded technically. I'm sure this point will have a lot of contention once lap times get's posted and stuff.
Also, from an admin position, it will be difficult to check that everyone is following the rules of the challenge.
but...
We want it to be interesting, and we want people to not just take the fastest car and win all the time
For these reasons, I would like to propose a new rule for challenge setting:
When placing a challenge, the car selection MUST BE DONE by Class Only. You can add additional filters as per in game filters (Manufacturer, Year, Class). This is the only overhead restrictions to car selection
Addendum to this rule: Each challenger can add HARD MODE to their challenges, which is not necessary to complete the challenge, but anyone that posts a time according to this HARD MODE rule will be awarded 5 bonus points. These HARD MODE sub-challenges are like driving without assists, driving with a small sub-class of cars, driving with a specific drivetrain.
All those in favour?
So, like this week's challenge will be ALL CLASS R CARS are eligible for the challenge, but any person that can end up on the leaderboard without taking a racing car or any open wheeler will get 5 additional points
Great, that will do.Quote:

I understand what you are pointing at. And yes, ANY car is 100% fine for the challenge, as long as it is not higher than the specified class for the challenge. If you want to upgrade a Datsun to R class and compete, you are more than welcome.Quote:

Ma se kind! I forgot to even post my safety first banker lap last week. :(
Sweet challenge circuit this week. Love Silverstone. Now to find the wet weather car and setup to get around it without rearranging every barrier.
Get away from the TV kiddo, Daddy's got some driving to do!!
Okay great!Quote:

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 :DQuote:

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.Quote:

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.
Wait what? So you get points for both the challenges? I think [MENTION=9789]DieGrootHammer[/MENTION] understood it differently.Quote:

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.Quote:
Originally Posted by Flex
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 suggestedQuote:
Originally Posted by Flex

Originally Posted by diabolus
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.Quote:

So if you have to decide before you start the challenge if you want to use the other car or not?Quote:

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 :)
