There is a new ForzaRC event: ForzaRC Pro-Am.

The description is "Four ways to play, four way to win in the inaugural ForzaRC Pro-Am. Earn rewards for participation, team and solo play ranking, plus additional rewards based on how well your designated Pro drives compared to the Pros (TX3 Hard BR, TX3 Lightning, TX3 Venom, F4H Wesley, F4H Venom, G2 Laige, TPR b0x). For details and team information, visit forzamotorsport.net!"

Thanks to the always helpful @ManteoMax here is the thread:

Basically, teams are based on user names.
TEAM 1 – A - C
TEAM 2 – D - G
TEAM 3 – H - L
TEAM 4 – M - Q
TEAM 5 – R - S
TEAM 6 – T- Z

Team 1 ForzaRC Team Reward – 2014 Ford FPV Limited Edition Pursuit Ute Forza Edition
Team 2 ForzaRC Team Reward – 2013 Dodge Dart GT
Team 3 ForzaRC Team Reward – Unnatural Pairings Driver Gear
Team 4 ForzaRC Team Reward – 50,000 Credits
Team 5 ForzaRC Team Reward – 1972 Chevrolet VH Valiant Charger R/T E49
Team 6 ForzaRC Team Reward – 1998 Subaru Impreza 22B STi Forza Edition

The team that comes in first gets all six prizes, the team that comes in last gets one prize.

There are six pro players involved who will be team captains. They are TX3 Hard BR, TX3 Lightning, TX3 Venom, F4H Wesley, F4H Venom, G2 Laige, and TPR b0x. Each one will be assigned a team to be captain of. That team will win prizes based on the Team Captain's finishing order. Prizes are again cumulative, so the first place team gets all six prizes, last place gets one.

Team 1 ForzaRC Captain Reward – Motion Capture Driver Gear
Team 2 ForzaRC Captain Reward – 2016 W Motors Lykan Hypersport
Team 3 ForzaRC Captain Reward – 2016 Mazda MX-5 Forza Edition
Team 4 ForzaRC Captain Reward – 2014 Chevrolet Super Sport Forza Edition
Team 5 ForzaRC Captain Reward – 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8
Team 6 ForzaRC Captain Reward – 50,000 Credits

So that's 12 prizes total you could potentially win.

Then there are prizes for how far up the leaderboard your individual time is.

Top 10 percentile – 25,000 credits
Top 25 percentile – 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series
Top 75 percentile – 2012 Ferrari F12berlinetta

Finally, everyone gets the 2013 Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG Forza Edition just for taking part. So that's a total of 16 prizes you could potentially win.

So I'm Team 4 and I'd like to apologize in advance for dragging the average down. I've set a time of 2:14.619. That's currently top 47%. I will try to improve it. I'll update this post with prizes once they've been announced.

I've updated this with all the prizes.
 
The SL65 Black is something I still need and maybe the Unnatural Pairings gear too, everything else is a bonus. :)
 
The Unnatural Pairings driver gear is the only prize in that list I don't have. So of course it will be the one prize I won't win.

So, does anyone know why, in multiplayer night tracks, my cars do not have functional headlights? It's spooky out there in the dark corners of VIR.

Yeah, the same thing happens to me a lot in League play. I lost a few races because of that. Especially on the really dark tracks. Some of the more well lit tracks it's a non-issue. And like you I tried to find the 'light switch'. It just happens. I'm glad to know it's not just me. Although disappointed that it hasn't been fixed yet.

How lame! Is there no way to get it besides on auction or another community event? I've had this game since January and have played it casually off and on since then. I cannot believe they are making this car so hard to get. It's a GTE car, not a lunar rover. :rolleyes:

Ooooh, I guess you don't want to hear about how I auctioned one off 2 weeks ago because I had 3 of them, and then I get another one as the Forza RC prize that I can't auction off, so I am stuck with 3 again. I may have one that I can auction off again. If so, I can do it later tonight. How about at 9pm MDT? My gamer tag is AlienDeathRay15. I'll leave it up for auction for a day. Hopefully you won't get the message, "this is exclusive content and can't be purchased at this time". Which I think is bull crap.

I don't see why it would say that if it wasn't part of a DLC or VIP content.

The way bounty hunter event prizes are done is very strange regarding the high difficulty achievements.

I see that they want to offer the most desirable locked cars to most of their customers (slow or fast drivers), and I agree with that.
But prizes for the fastest drivers are worthless.

here's my proposal:

participation: the most desirable locked car
top 75%: second most desirable car or FE edition
top 25%: Forza Elite Edition car (take for example the subaru BRZ FE, give it a cool new spacial livery, change it's stats to 40%CR / 40%CR at any handling circuit) - It is desirable but the car itself is not anything other player cannot have)
Top 10%: That's an achievment so you must be able to show it off:
- Elite version of the track suit (same idea as the championship elite version suits)
- at least 500 000 CR
- 3 crate of the current limited time crates (or if they are cheap, 3 car crates). for the fun of opening them :)
Beat the challenge time: this can be very hard or not. but you must be able to show off too:
- Special cool suit
- 1 of those 5 time use VIP card (they must still be in game). maybe limit them to 3 times uses?

That would make every step desirable, and not frustrates slower players.

You can even add a special prize for the #1
- design a forzathon event (choose race, car and prize) that will have the winner tag name.

What do you think?

These are all very reasonable ideas and something I could live with.

Holy 🤬 I just beat johniwanna. He was my ghost rival with a time of 2:12.133. I'm now at 2:12.066. That's top 33%, and 2280th fastest overall out of 6984 total times set. Fastest time is AMS Vanquish who posted a 2:03.168.

Times for Team Captains:
TX3 Lightning - 4th - 2:03.789
TX3 Wesley - 48th - 2:05.265
TX3 Hard BR - 50th - 2:05.295
TPR b0x - 85th - 2:05.851
G2 Laige - 105th - 2:05.992
F4H Venom - 124th - 2:06.202
 
I can't even understand how a 2:03 is possible around RA in that thing. I've watched Laige and Venom do their laps live and I could see where they were gaining speed on me, but I can't see where anyone would gain speed on them.
 
My big problem is the last corner. I just can't seem to find the apex. I'm either too early or too late and I lose a mountain of time down the long front straight because of it. I swear I could get under 2:10 if I could just nail that corner right once.
 
I'm losing most of my time through the Caroussel and that sharp left under the Corvette bridge. The fact I'm not using clutch means I lose time as well, but I've never felt comfortable with it.
 
I think it was last year I was watching an event at Road America and they posted the record times down on the TV. For GT2 lap record was 2:07.375, GTA was 2:08.770 and GT3 was 2:14.224. I forget who it was that set the record while I was watching, that prompted that display of info.
 
I just now got a 2:11.939, I'm not doing well. :lol:
The corners that aggrevate me on this track are the Caroussel and the sharp left before the Corvette bridge. The last turn bugs me a bit aswell.
