interesting... i like... i must give go tomorrow... must sleep now though :P good idea.

WindsorXR · 04-03-2010, 06:52 AM

Some of those settings i'm not big on. Such as suggested line and stability control.

But i will be in on this and give it my all. If i can get away from playing NHL 10.

XR6_661 · 04-03-2010, 09:10 AM

Pretty sure the GT500 is in Need for Speed shift.

I'm gonna have a crack at Nurburgring in Need for Speed shift and see if my times are comparable to yours in Forza!

I don't usually like to use the line either but its a long track and i had never run it before . It was the only way i could of got a time i wouldn't be to ashamed to post.

We can change the settings later,cars,tracks and etc later .Just give this one a go for now.

DBourne · 04-03-2010, 02:01 PM

Bog stock yeah?

I'll give this a shot tonight.

I won't have stability, full line (braking only) and it will be manual shifting though.

As for the assists set it up anyway you wish allthough i think traction control off is a must.

Give it a go, you never know, is it a 2007 Shelby GT500, and are you able to turn the traction control off...
I just bet my previous time by aprox 4 seconds, Ill post the pic up later...

Does any-one know if there is an official time for the Shelby GT500 around the Nurburgring track

Nurburgring times are not recorded using the start finish line.

CFOUR · 04-03-2010, 05:06 PM

Only did 1 lap
manual and abs only
8.57.04
I'll have a proper crack when I get some more free time. I'd assume I can get it around 9:50. As I lost atleast 2sec in the carosel(sp*)

snappy · 04-03-2010, 05:40 PM

Are those laps from a standing start or roll on from previous lap . If there not it puts me a long way of the pace

snappy · 04-03-2010, 06:15 PM

I just done it again I got
From standing start : 9.16.422
and on the roll on :9.01.38

I have no doubt it can be done faster . But aprox 19 sec faster im not sure . Are you sure your times aren't roll on times.

Standing mate, also need a pic cfour

SM1DY · 04-03-2010, 07:10 PM

I'm going to do it right now, I think a new car and settings each week would be a nice challenge.

snappy · 04-03-2010, 07:11 PM

okay im down to 9.09.265 i can post pics up but i dont think there is much point at the moment, Im still a long way off the pace

:

Must admit im having a lot of fun trying though

snappy · 04-03-2010, 07:33 PM

martO · 04-03-2010, 07:55 PM

Sounds like fun!

Did you have to pick the nurburgring though ?
If you stuff up a corner or two, you waste like 9 minutes of your time haha.

I will give it a crack though.

snappy · 04-03-2010, 08:38 PM

Im only going to do standing starts.
So currently the standing's are:
1.Cfour - 8.57.04 (manual)- need pic to confirm 1st place
1.EgoFalcon - 9:01.279
2.Snappy - 9.03.861
3.Sm1dy - 9:16.725 (manual)
4.

An here is a pic to confirm my last time .

SM1DY · 04-03-2010, 08:45 PM

You should do flying laps, it makes it easier to string together back to back laps instead of restarting the races. Also, it is possible for people to claim a standing start when it as in fact a flying lap and posting a time that's wrong.

GS608 · 04-03-2010, 08:54 PM

This sounds like a great long running comp, new car & track each week sounds good too.

will have a go later tonight

If that's what people want no worries . Its not hard to hit start then restart though.
Personally i like the single lap so i can play with tyre pressures

SM1DY · 04-03-2010, 09:16 PM

This is my last attempt of this track, it's so frustrating and I'm starting to despise it.
08:46.141

DBourne · 04-03-2010, 09:34 PM

8:54.495

Standing start
