I see there is a drag race for August VIP members to try to beat....Anyone know the time to beat??...And more importantly what car should I use since I NEVER drag race???
 
You don't have to beat anyone for the VIP event, just compete and post a time. The car everyone is using is the Dart, loads of set ups on the storefront for the event as well.

This months community bounty event is the one you're thinking of. The event is high noon saloon in this months rivals, the guy you need to beat is Japandru who is one of the devs who works for T10 and his time to beat (last time i checked) is 1:22.032

From what i've heard though i'd expect him to improve on that. :)
 
Its a tough time to beat. I'm about .200 away from a beating that time, but I've already pushed my car to its max lol. Need to change some things around and try it again, just not now though cus I'm burnt out of doing so many laps.
 
Thanx for the info......Going to try it this evening.......Glad all I got to do is compete in the Drag Race....not a fan
 
It doesnt say..Nor does the "High Noon Saloon" say anything about recieving a car.....But to be honest I dont remember any of the events saying about getting a car....I am probably wrong....
 
What car would be reccomended and what would a good set up be? As it is, I'm 2 seconds short. Is the F10 M5 the right car to be using?
 
The closest car I've got to competing with the 190 is... the Fusion. Currently just under a second away from the time, with more to shave off. It's surprisingly tail-happy when converted to rear-drive, possibly more of a handful than the Merc.
 
Before getting frustrated and just switching over the the 190, I used the TSX. I got a 1:22:2. I was stumped on what I needed to change though to get that extra .200 down. In want of the unicorn I just jumped on the storefront and downloaded the most downloaded tune for the high noon saloon challange and ended up dropping down to 1.20.5 with someones 190 tune in just 2 laps tops. If I kept at it I think I might be able to reach 1:19.
 
I have a free 190 tune on my storefront if anyone wants to try it. I was able to beat LoadedLove's (ImaRobot) time with it pretty easily and I'm not really a fast driver. Fastest FPM member right now and I left plenty of time on the track. ;)
 
^^^^^ Not a fast driver..Hmm.....This is off subject but is there an EASY way to get to someones storefront other than typing in there name??...Also how about auctions??...Is there an easy way instead of typing in a name??

I'm not fast...my tunes make me look better than I deserve credit for. ;) You can go to friends storefronts by pressing Y from your storefront. You can also add player's storefronts to your favorites by pressing Y when you're at their storefront....once someone is in your favorites list you can also access their storefront by pressing Y from your storefront. I'm pretty sure auctions work the same way. Hope this helps.

I dont know about that. You were smoking me pretty bad lol. Also your tunes have alot to do with you as a driver, so I wouldnt just throw that out :P

I know you've just started playing again after not having played for a couple of months. Beating you right now doesn't boost my confidence.....I know I'll have my hands full with you once you shake the rust off. ;)

To be honest, I thought I was going to do absolutely horrible when I was going to race you. It actually didnt feel like it was that dramatic to be honest. Pretty much the only problem when I came back was the manual shifting, everything else was sorta loosey goosey but it wasnt to bad. So that being said, I dont think I'll be that much faster than I was the other day.

I am getting a lot better at tuning though, so hopefully that'll help out :D
 
Well to be honest he hasnt updated his time in a good amount of time. You might be safe, but I would check it atleast once a day.
 
Dunno if your still at work, but no the time still hasnt changed.. Hopefully he doesnt put up something under 1:21 lol.

Agreed, but dude, ive been playing for less than 2 months and did it after 15-20 tries.

To be honest, im hoping hes too busy to obliterate us all...
 
OK guys you have 1 day left to beat japandru's final time of 1:20.259. He extended the deadline by 1 day. I have a tune on my storefront that netted me a 1:20.168 in 3 laps.....and I left time on the track. I'm the only FPM member right now ahead of the target time. :D File name is WiggsAlpsRival3, give it a try and a rating please. Good luck and thanks. 👍
 
Tried it out as soon as you told me, and I also beat him in just a couple laps with the tune lol. Managed a 1:20.05x I think. Gave it a good rating as well Wiggs 👍 Thanks for the help.

He set a new time late last night. The tune is for the Mercedes 190E. ImaRobot and I are the only ones in the club ahead of his new time.
