Hello again everyone!

I thought about a little friendly competition yesterday!

This is open to all the XBOX Live Atlas F1 Car Club members and non-members as well(but maybe you should consider joining this elite club!!!).

A weekly challenge is to be made available on sundays and would be in effect 1 full week(or 2???).
The challenge would be made out of a specific track in the Free Run section(be it a Hotlap, an Autocross or even a Point to Point) and a specific Car Class(D,C,B,...).
For example, a challenge could be the TOKYO track and the Car Class could be D!
Now, here are some more specifics we can put in:
- A specific car/model! (Example: Honda Accord)
- Specific tech specs!?!(no more that X hp or no more than X lbs or...)
Certain specs would be enough as a whole specific listing of pieces added to the car would maybe be a little too much, no?

Then again, the challenge could simply be wide open without those limitations...(Tokyo, Class D, any car...)

After the whole week (or 2?) of competition is over, a point system similar to the actual F1 points would be in effect. (I.E. 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1)

The next challenge would be then the privilege of the weekly winner!!! It would simply be his(or her!?!) idea to be brought in as the new challenge!

For the first one, I would simply make it out as I feel... (Isn't it great to be president?;) )

Any feedback and/or ideas are welcome!

Let me know what you all think before I give out the first challenge that would start next sunday!!!(if any of you are in for this...)

Cheers!

(BTW, this would also be a great way to improve the Car Club stats...;) )

This could be fun!

As long as the timeframe is atleast a week

Yeah I'm down !!! I like the 'Any car in a class' thing, but what me and Alucard have been doing when we play online is we say something like.... Class B, no Tommy Kaira's, just to mix it up a little. Because after the TK, ppl use either Exiges's, STi's or even CRX's - this tends to keep things fun rather than the same ol boring Class monsters.

[SeanValen]

I'm in.

[Arrows4Ever]

Not much interest from the Club apparently(unless it is silent agreement...;) ).

Anyways, here is the first challenge:
-Point to Point format
-Nurburgring Section B track
-Class C
My additionnal demand is that you use a Subaru STI

As of now, I am ranked #454 with a time of 2:47:273

The challenges will last two weeks but exceptionnaly, this one will have a few days more as it will be ending on August 20th at midnight EDT.

Good luck everyone!

May the best driver win!

[JDeRosa]

right, well after 2 attempts I've got a 2:42.6 - I did buy all the chassis upgrades except tyres and weight, so its still a C1, but I think there probably at least a couple secs that can be trimmed off, someone better could do more for sure.


EDIT: aww ****, just realised I did section C of the ring!!! what a cock!!

[SeanValen]

I am hoping to start challenging this part of the track today!

[SeanValen]

Got the car, with no upgrades just yet, just a quick go to test the track I don't drive on much, got a 2:55

Expect to improve of cource!

I'll be back.

I did the same mistake LOL

I got class c of cars mixed up with section c of nurburg.

section b it is

[Rob Silver Speed]

Got a 2:43.116 all chassis upgrades except tyres, 1st level weight removal

Perhaps another 2secs can be gained?

You got the fastest time so far, well done. You can't do most of the upgrades, otherwise it goes beyond class C, tyres you can't upgrade, I tried, but it makes it a class B, and were sticking to class C

I'm still about 5 seconds off the top pace, on 49s!

[SeanValen]

Posted a 2:47.006

About 3.9 seconds off now

[SeanValen]

2:45.973

About 2.1 seconds off the best time now, and that 43.1 of Rob Speed will be tough, but I'll keep at it, tough going from here.

[JDeRosa]

I've done 1 lap and did a 2:42.x or sommat. I think there's a bit more in there

Rob are you in the car club?? I'll check tonight to see if your times show when I toggle.

[SeanValen]

2:43.706 NEW RECORD TIME!


Very good lap, probabley out breaked myself little, bit more time there, but very proud to be on top right now, enjoy it while it lasts!

Just as I posted the best I thought, you outdid it, well done.


I'll check the xbox live scoreboad for your exact time.


EDITED
You did a 42.676

I'm about 9 tenths off your time.

Your 282 fastest in the world AND I'm 313th, and were not even in the fastest cars for that track, I say once this is over, this challenge, we do the track in CRX SI-R, the fastest cars in class C

Thanks, are you logged on live and your times updated to the live scoreboards?
It just makes it official to us.

[Rob Silver Speed]

Once you log in, you actually have to set the time after you logged in, if you set the time offline and then go online, it won't upload to scoreboads.

When you finish a point to point challenge, and press ok, it will upload to scoreboards if you are online.

[Rob Silver Speed]

Ahh, no scores online then

Sorted aremburg and the start of adenaur forst, having trouble with the second half of adenaur forst and metzgesfeld now *sigh* i'll have another crack at it tomorrow

[SeanValen]

2:42.039


OFFICIALLY THE FASTEST TIME RIGHT NOW, I GOT IT!!

[JDeRosa]

sorry dude, I did a 2:41.7 last night, but I keep wanking up the tight left hander with the high curbs, I've nealry completely decked the car, so it hates those curbs and you need to be spot on. I think I can find another second, but that's prolly it. It annoys me how some of the quicker leaderboard times are so fast... you just know they're doing the start line cheat. There's no way there's over 10 secs to be found on that track. Anyhoo... I'll give it another crack tonight

I don't mind being 3 tenths off your pace, I can do better.


Yeah I don't pay attention to first say 40 or 50 times on the leaderboards, I just compare times with people on my friends list like you, and I'm normally pleased to be under 400 in the world on the leader boards, or in the 100s, or whatever I've done, and knowing I did the time properly.

[benn5325]

Edit: 2:48:373

Work needed!

[SeanValen]

2:41.905

2 tenths off

[SeanValen]

2:41.072 I AM THE FASTEST!!! AT THIS TIME,


Good lap, not totally as perfect as I would like, lost a few tenths early part of the lap, but I understand what you guys were talking about in regards to a second being out there, there's probabley a 40.7 to be had, not much more then that I would think. I did put a rear tyre on kerbing a bit in one corner, so 2 or 3 tenths there, could be half a second then maximum to find.

Not bad, getting there.

[benn5325]

Yes, don’t know if I’ll get down to the 42s like you guys, but I see a 44 or 43 in my future.
There are 3 sections that I need to master, I get them now and then, but not all on the same lap.
And that last right flick with the left…. What a friggin nightmare!

Good time Sean!! I think the setup will give up a little time. I'm using quite a hard suspension setup and the ride height is nearly decked out. If I soften it up a little and raise the car I should be able to ride the curbs.... maybe thats worth a go. But good effort mate

Thanks, took many attempts to understand what was required for set up, then took many attempts to get the best time and hook every part up as good as I could, thats the tough part at times, knowing there is speed to get, but overcooking it with aggression and making a error and losing time.

[SeanValen]

Well it's Sunday again, have I won? No one beat my time?
Can I choose the next challenge?

1 more week Sean!

Sorry my friend!

Keep your hope alive, your time is very impressive!!!

[JDeRosa]

Well I did a few runs last night and managed a 2:39.757 I don't know where it came from as I'd done a couple 2:40's then just as I thought I had a scrappy lap I pull this one out! There are only maybe 3 main braking zones, everywhere else you either lift off or lightly tap a bit of left trigger braking.

Awesome time there.
So I need 1.3 seconds.

Well I knew my time was beatable, but back to the drawing board.

[Arrows4Ever]

Only a few hours till the end of Race 1 Season 1!!!

[SeanValen]

I'll give it a few more trys, but I think delarosa has it in the bag.

2:38.904 NEW RECORD TIME!


Senna was with me on this lap.


Awesome lap, I sensed the pressure of the deadline, didn't wanna lose, and went for it.

[Arrows4Ever]

HOLY COW!!!

[SeanValen]

So the new weekly challenge is:


Car:

Ferrari 512 TR

Class: A


Free run best time in Point to point at Nurburgring C

[SeanValen]

Current fastest time 2:48.117


Few corners, but alot of top speed, this could be close, it's why I chose it, plus I know 335 challenge ferrari's dominate the class A, so I thought people would have nurburgring point to point C free for a ferrari 512 TR time battle.

This is my favorite car, not the fastest, but I'm fond of this update to the ferrari testarossa, I love driving it in white like in Miami Vice, the 80s cop show.

LOL

Drive the car in white to respect Miami Vice, and I'll respect you all more as well.

[Arrows4Ever]

SeanValen 10 Pts

Deroo 8 Pts

Karula 6 Pts

Whyvezz 5 Pts

Mr Johansson 4 Pts

A1ucard1981 3 Pts
