Forza 5 supercar shootout lucky dip race night thingy....
Discussion
If like me you have enough of public lobbys for awhile, and would not mind a good clean race night then..
I have been testing a "few" cars out. The idea of the race night is 16 standard cars with NO upgrades and NO tuning but with ABS and TCS on. It will be 3 laps around Indy GP for qualifing then 6 laps around the Ring+GP track with one pit stop (should be around 1 hour). The lucky dip part can be done two ways either 48 hours before the race a draw is made to give each driver a car to allow for testing or the draw can be made on the race night itself. I picked cars that should be around the same performance +- 20 seconds , I did 1 lap from a standing start around the ring+gp in each car now they where far form prefect laps but if I really messed up a corner I rewinded just to get a honest lap times as I could , but there is now doubt there are quicker times in the cars. If the night goes well and we do it again the person who finishes last would have the first pick and the person who won has last pick of car and a point system to find out overall winner
The cars are
..................................................................Rating..........hp.........my rough time
1) 2013 Audi R8 V10 plus 5.2 FSI Quattro..................672.........542..............9.52.
2) 2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI Quattro.............................656.........525..............9.54.
3) 2009 Chevrolet corvette ZR1..............................653.........638..............9.51.
4) 2009 Ferrari 458 Italia......................................675.........562..............9.49.
5) 2007 Ferrari 430 scuderia..................................662.........503..............9.47.
6) 1995 Ferrari F50...........................................646.........513..............9.45.
7) 1987 Ferrari F40............................................659.........478..............9.40.
8) 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570/4 superleggera...689.........562..............9.45.
9) 1997 Lamborghini Diablo SV...............................616.........530..............9.57.
10) 2010 Lexus LFA............................................640.........552..............9.54.
11) 2011 Mercedes- Benz SLS AMG...........................640.........571..............9.59.
12) 2005 Mercedes- Benz SLR...............................635.........617..............9.53.
13) 2012 Nissan GT-R Black.................................669.........542..............9.48.
14) 2012 Ferrari F 12 berlinetta............................661.........730..............9.46.
15) 2013 Viper GTS...........................................657.........640..............9.42.
16) 2011 RUF RT 12s.........................................676.........676..............9.43.
Now as I said they are rough times.
There where a number of other cars I tested but where either too quick or too slow to fit into a 20 second window or where to hard for me to drive quick and clean. There where also a couple of DLC cars that I did not test, in the list above I also think that there are some DLC cars not sure which ones because I had already downloaded them and not sure if that will create a problem for some. I also think it might be an idea to race with ghost or non collision mode on because some of these cars are twitchy / snappy to drive on the limit and with the difference in the performance in the cars at some parts of the track and the difficulty in passing clean at the ring, you could/will get caught up in someone else,s accident.
Now me being a complete technophobe I have no idea how to host the night and set up the race , I can just about use a smart phone I will be asking someone else to do it . Please step up evilhomer if you can.
Any idea,s anyone else has please put your 2 cents in. If we cant get a full grid up here maybe those who would be interested would invite some friends .
Don't know how to do the whole list thing either so I,ll begin .
