Default Forza 2 - 20,000,000 CR giveaway #3

Yep, 20mil up for grabs on this nice short track, should take around 30secs to complete one lap.

Bit of a twist in the fact you can choose what class you tune your car to.

Qualifying classes: D Class, C Class, B Class, A Class, S Class & U Class

Car must be: VW Golf GTi MK 5

Track: TT Boomslang

End date: Sunday 1st March 2009 @ 11:59pm

Prize: 20,000,000 million credits for the fastest time!

I might extend the end date a further week if i think enough times havent been submitted in the first week. A further 10mil will be added to the final prize if this happens.

Ben is welcome to run this to prove his superiority but cannot win prize money (as agreed previously)

Just to help me out a little, if you run a quick time, can you post it up here and let everyone know what class it was in as this will save having to look through all the classes/times. All times will be checked at the end for the final result

I think that covers everything, lol.

Good luck!!!

Ironically, going too fast probably. Tidy lines, no wheelspin and no abs coming on and you'll manage it. It's amazing how much drive you get when your wheels aren't spinning up.

o.k ....

so it doesnt matter what class you do it in!!!
But just say you get 2 times

Lets take MILAMBERS as he is the 1st to post...
28:107 = U Class

then say Me (cough) i did it SAME time but in a C Class!!!

would the money get split/or would i get it as ive got a Less likly class to of won!!

Not saying ive done it.. or want to steal anyones joy...
Just had the thought... to put confussing out there..

Baz - its pretty unlikely that you'll get exactly the same time, given the times are in .100's.

I was getting in the low 32's with a D class

Yeah 4WD.

Pretty much full downforce on the front, springs up to maximum on front, breaks wound back a bit to avoid lock ups, diff wound right back so it's more rear wheel drive, tryes pumped up at the back as they don't warm up...

Making it tail happy is the only way to go round a corner otherwise it has enough understeer to make the baby jesus cry...

pmsl @ rb5 in his non-qualifying shed!!! heheeheh

that track hypnotises you after a while and if you are more than 1 mm out on the chicane its quicksand city!!!

think im gonna hang up my controller for a bit now, what with forza and building websites i'll have square eyes!!!

although the thought of Chris winning a timed challenge is a bitter pill to swallow!!

ok, just one more go then.....
