My time as of tonight using a '71 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda....

2:03.329

 

Was that time from a standing start or at speed/flying lap?

Also to make sure, this is the Gran Prix Circuit right?

 

Mine was a flying lap.

And yes, GP.

 

Kk, just making sure.

For some stupid reason I keep getting flagged on turn 1 during the braking zone on flying laps. I managed to get a 2:12.4xx from a clean dig with my Cuda and a 2:04.5xx flying with the turn 1 BS penalty on Sport tires (one before racing slicks) and 285s on the rear.

Just put 305s on so the rear doesn't step out nearly as much... ^.^

 

Do you have ABS turned on? IIRC sometimes using that flags laps?

I'm not 100% sure, I haven't used ABS in Forza in a couple years.

 

Nope, no driving aids at all. I notice sometimes it happens whenever I either lock up during turn in or apex late.

Anyway... updated my post at the top of this thread and leader board as of now.

1.) Mike410b - iSnogEmmaWatson: BMW 135i - 02:00.855
2.) Hootie - NocturnalJunkie: Plymouth 'Cuda - 2:03.329

 

I'm about to get down and dirty here in a few...I will post back shortly.

FYI you don't need gold to browse or post lap times on the leader board...just use hot lap. Also we should keep posting pics of the car used just because

 

Well after about 15 laps and tuning all I can get is 2:03.876.
Used this thing

Monster N/A DC5
347 hp
230 tq
2220 lbs
Understeers like a mofo



I posted a 2:03.13X but I dropped literally one half of a f^cking tire on a corner and the lap went dirty. Oh well, I shall give it another go tomorrow and try to find my inner-Senna.

 

Raise yo rear spring rates dawg.

 

Already did that. Spring rates, height, tire pressure, and sway bar settings are all tuned towards oversteer...I might need to mess with the diff honestly. There's such a fine line powering out of a corner; You either shift perfectly in the powerband and carve through the apex, or either spin the front tires and understeer or short shift and fall out of vtec all together.

 

Oh yea and this..

1.) Mike410b - iSnogEmmaWatson: BMW 135i - 02:00.855
2.) Hootie - NocturnalJunkie: Plymouth 'Cuda - 2:03.329
3.) FIT4thetouge - cmoneyslopjr: Honda DC5-R - 2:03.876

 

^^Truth... Even IRL in AutoX this happens regularly to me, and I'm only in 1-2 gear ever...Thinking of removing the front sway bar entirely at this point

UGH, cant get an Xbox till Fri

 

Welp, we've got a new leader. :P

Used an E92 BMW M3.





1.) Hootie - NocturnalJunkie: E92 BMW M3 - 1:59.773
2.) Mike410b - iSnogEmmaWatson: BMW 135i - 02:00.855
3.) Hootie - NocturnalJunkie: Plymouth 'Cuda - 2:03.329
4.) FIT4thetouge - cmoneyslopjr: Honda DC5-R - 2:03.876

 

Oh hell yes! I love this kind of stuff. My Xbox has been a POS the past 6 months or so. It never wants to read discs. I am going to try and get it fired up and set a lap or two

 

Shiiiiitttttt!

 

Holy cripes 1:59 is FAST.

 

Well, I know what I'm doing tonight.

 

Some say that he is confused by stairs...

and that he knows two facts about ducks... and both of them are wrong.

I wanna use my 'Cuda again, that thing was all kinda squirrely on that course.

 

Damn, you guys are good. Trying a few different cars and can't do better that a 2:07.285 yet.

 

Course memorization, smooth driving, and a decent setup is what it takes.

I haven't played FM4 in a while and this is one of the courses that I actually suck at. Was using a JDM Spec DC2-R and could only crack a 2:02.8xx in it earlier today. :/ I wish the Alpine Ring (I think that's it) and Tokyo circuits from FM1 were on here. Those were some fun tracks... The autocross courses were bad ass as well on FM1 too.
