The Un-official "Let's Chase Blooze" Hotlap Challenge

[BarbecuePete]

C class I've been racing a lot online in lately and have pulled myself upto 686th and now have exactlly the same time as Spiny but need another 40 seconds here to catch Blooze...

I did it!! 

I made up the 40 seconds and a little bit more to put me at 550th - 1h18:10 

I think I may be able to get it under 1h18 if I can improve some of my RL track times, I've been helped by a couple of new cars I've built. One is a full grip Mini which took most of my Snake times as well as Mugello, Suzuka and Silverstone GP. I also built a 2000GT which even with only 190hp managed an 8:39.0xx at the 'Ring (1478) and also nearly got me into the top 1000 at Maple Valley with a 1:36.2xx and I think it could get into 1:35's as I'm not too great on that track but this car knocked over a second off my LB time with ease...

Nice work Pete - I had a feeling you'd be past me before too long.

Keep after it, Pete. A slight improvement here or there and you'll be at 1:17.xx.

Thanks guys... I see I must have scared Larry already as he's now under the 1:18 barrier already,  i'd better get my skates on if i'm gonna catch him, maybe we should have another unofficial 'Can you spot Larry disapearing over the horizon?'  Hotlap Challange...

mind if i join in guys, i do like to have a try at the hot lap times but its more fun if there's a little bit of competition.

mine times and places are as follows:

D - Class is 1hr 22:22 which gives me a place of 952, which is 1sec ahead of barbecue pete ( close or what !! )

C - Class is 1hr 19:21 which gives me a place of 813, which is 1min 13 secs behind pete ( got some work to do there )

B - Class is 1hr 16:15 which puts me 891, which is 26 secs behind pete

A - Class is 1hr 11:52 which puts 817, which is 9 secs ahead of pete

[HagmanGTI]

lol, i know but barbecue pete is the only guy i know on here. so for me he's the benchmark but if anyone else wants to add me as a friend then feel free.

[Blooze]

Good Job Pete!!

Just announced myself on D Class at 1hr 19:39.

Decided since I wasn't getting anwhere connecting to you good guys to race online I would hunt down the D class times.  Then I relised that all my times had been done offline.  So went through each track one by one, not spending too much time on it and just trying to set a decent lap before moving on.

I want to see what happens if you try hard. 

Nice times!

While waiting for Race Pro to arrive I re-ran just enough D class real world tracks to pass Larry.   I don't think sk15kev is in my range.

[sk15kev]

Although I never ran more than 6 laps per track, I did myself a chevelle especially. trouble is nothing else comes close.

I'm not the best with missile cars, but seemed to do okay with this one.

I also made the effort to use manual gears, which is rare for me.

If I do other classes, I will stick  to cars I already have.

I've been assimilated by Race Pro, so I'll have to let these challenges stand for a while. But, assuming Forza 3 doesn't arrive first, I'll be back. 

[TheJohnNewton]

My Race Pro was lost in the mail, lol. No I'm not kidding.  They sent it to the wrong post office for delivery.  Funny thing is though the one they sent it to is in my home town.  It was probably within a mile of my house.  The actual delivery address is for my work location about 20 miles away. 

Yeah I don't anticipate doing too many Forza laps unless RP totally sucks.  But from all the comments I've read I think it will be right up my alley.
