Given you’re looking unbeatable cutters, any chance of filming a fast run and hosting on YT. Curious as to your driving style.

Haven’t got a hope of improving this week. Busy tonight and tomorrow then going on a staycation. Doubt the mrs would be impressed if I pack the Xbox!

Is everyone happy with 11th place choosing the next event?
Or maybe somehting like 16th place, just to mix it up a bit.

How about second place? I like to think of this as the realistic "first place" hehe that can be achieved by the rest of the field. As Cutters is just too good at this game and tuning putting him miles ahead of everyone else.

I like the idea that's been posted a couple of times, a standard car, no adjustments (not even messing with tyre pressures), no mods/tuning or everyone to use the same locked tune. Everyone to use the same assists. Then everyone is playing from a totally level playing field, just for one week I think it would be interesting to see. Should lead to a very tight leaderboard.

Eh because since NWT is doing the points from 1st to 10th, it gives something to those who fall outside it to be more involved.

It is just for fun after all.

You can go into capture settings on the xbox and change capture length to 2 minutes. then hit the home button followed by X. you can then view on the xbox app or any of the capture view websites online (Just search xbox captures)

You'll have to get your time below 2 minutes for that to work though otherwise pick a longer capture length!

Yeah I think this would be great with an a or b class car to see how good we all actually are. Would be funny if cutters was last

Whatsapp it around would do me! I can’t get I. The same post code as your ghost so no idea where the huge chunks of time are being made. With the nsx tune you shared I was about 6-7 secs behind your 2:08 that you did with it. Did seem to be on rails despite the stats showing way less handling than my own tune. I suspect you know what you’re doing hehe

I do think tunes are very personal to how you like to drive, i put my GT3RS tune up the other week and people were slower than in their own tunes which were slower than me. Ive used others' tunes and found i couldnt get anywhere near them. Theres also braking zones on this track that arent braking zones at all...

Ive put the bits back on the NSX today so the codes changed (didnt know that), 834 654 783 if anyone wants a bash.

Zenvo TSR is one of this week's prize cars - I thought the spoiler was glitched at first, but apparently it really is supposed to be like that.

Derwent Lakeside Sprint (Road Racing), Any Japanese S1-900, no mod restrictions

As of 00:00:



This is still annoying me though, I just can't string a clean lap together. I reckon I can get to a 2:07 in this thing, as I've got near even after clipping a barrier:



Such fine margins.

You can't fool us - there's no way it's the same tune -

A) By the first flags, you're 50m ahead
B) It has a different spoiler!!

You're having us on!

Unlucky, there's nothing worse than just clipping a wall when you're most of the way through a clean run. Several times I've hit the wall or barrier at the top of the hill and ruined my time. All due to trying to carry as much speed as possible.

Now I tend to back off slightly or brake earlier if I get to the turn at the bottom of the hill on a good clean lap, so I know I can make up time there.

It's good that there are several different cars capable of putting in good times, all the Skylines, GT-R's, Supra, LFA, R390 & 370Z's are all capable of [Pstn] table topping times if you check the global leaderboard.

Your bloody Supra leaves me for dead off the start, you get about half a second on me by the first right hander you have to ease off for.

And that's if I get a good start, as the skyline wheelspins like buggery if you boot it off the line.

Can people mod or hack their lap time? I say it as there are unbelievable times, and I mean unbelievable on the leaderboard that surely aren't real.
