Welcome to Forza-Tuning.net's
Targa Forza ! ! !
You betcha! Okay, I'll admit it! I was immediately infatuated with the entire program. Cars, community, the whole Nine Yards. It got me to wishing we had something like that in Forza. And then... (boink
)
We do! Sort of. Here's the short of it. Our "Targa" is similar to the result of adding the races in the
Super Lap Days event.
Okay, we have made a change. We are still using the environments, Nurburgring, Kaido, and Positano, but we have switched over to the P2P side of things and are running the Stages A, B, C, and D for each of those environments. There has been discussion concerning the change on the last half of Page 3 if you are interested.
I don't know of any way to cheat these P2P races - we used to be able to back up for a ways in Forza 1 - but everybody is on their honor with this as all our challenges. Only Certified passes are to be posted.
That's it.
Use any car you want to. But if you show up with a Leaderboard car, we might have to boo hiss you a little, hell, a lot, even...
But use a car that you love and like to drive. Participation; and the level of your participation, will count far more than minutes and seconds in this challenge.

The Scoreboards will be separated by class, and scored by time. But please, don't let the time be a governing factor in your vehicle choices.
Since we (I) am having to deal with Posting 12 times and the subtotals and such, there are some input requirements on your part...
The Environments should be presented in this order.
Nurburgring, Fujimi Kaido, Positano. Ring, Kaido, Positano with work - Hell, N, K, and P will work - just keep them in that order.
The stage times should be presented in their Name order, i.e., A, B, C, and D.
Method 1 - Semi-Colon delimited string, like so...
Nurburgring: 136.069; 127.667; 155.605; 154.087
Kaido: 140.657; 189.022; 127.844; 125.125
Positano: 109.376; 090.140; 109.892; 126.026
Or presented in a bulleted list like this...
- N = 136.069; 127.667; 155.605; 154.087
- K = 140.657; 189.022; 127.844; 125.125
- P = 109.376; 90.140; 109.892; 126.026
Method 2 - A list, (
DO NOT use the bulleted list for this method!!)
Nurburgring
A - 138.267
B - 127.916
C - 161.216
D - 155.900
Kaido...
Positano...
or
Ring
138.267
127.916
161.216
155.900
Method 1 takes up less space on the page so I guess would be considered the better of the two methods. I can handle either way.
You should include the Class, the Pi, and an unambiguous name (no, "Civic" won't cut it). If the Pi is omitted the max will be assumed.
You don't have to turn in all three of the stages in one pass. You can turn in one stage at a time. If that is what you are doing, let me know if the record is new, or a continuation of one that has been started. Also, let me know if the data is an update to an existing record.
Note: Records without all 3 stages will not have a
Overall Record. The ones that are there were grand-fathered in...
You may have noticed, the thread is pinned and there is no end date. The intention is to keep this here so a feller can take a pass at the Targa Forza any time he wants to, or set up a tuning challenge that uses the Targa Forza Leaderboard as its measuring stick.
Let's have some fun with this.

Attached is an Excel spreadsheet that can be used for tracking times for many cars and totaling them and stuff. Included is a little device for building the strings we use to Post our times for the Targa Forza. They are in the little Yellow block near the bottom left side of the page. The only thing you need to do is enter the correct
Row Offset and you are in business. The things works while you complete the times - sort of cool really. By way of an example, I included the Times for my X Class Acura. You can see that the record is on Row 10, but the Row Offset is 9 (because the Row 1 is not part of the data set). That's all ya got to do. Type a 10 into the Offset and you will see what I mean. The sheet makes life a bit simpler, for those of you who have Excel... All you got to do is Copy/Paste the 3 yellow cells in the F column into the forum editor and you are done.
