Yea, it could work and if done by someone with a capture card could make for a unique camera angle *ideas flowing in head* if anybody would be interested in doing this job i will add a section in the OP for "clip cam volunteers"
 
i really gotta see it with my own eyes in order to believe it.

it isn't that difficult. simply get alot of horses, hit the right line at turn 4 and shift up to 5th gear.

i could imagine to put another car as a clipping point on this straight so everybody has to do manji.
 
I go from 3rd to 5th in my stock Vette so its not a matter of horses its the right speed and line through 4th!

And i think he previously posted in this thread or may have been another.. but he managed it rather easilly in his BTR so he knows it can be done
 
With the right line, nearly anything can drift it. A car clip point is very necessary though IMO. I can do use my car for said angle, and use the replay to get the rest but then i cant chase cam :(
 
have a another user do the clip car or chase cam.. obviously someone who can record the action


Unfortunately, while people are happy to help, not many have capture cards & of those that do, fewer would be able to (due to timezones) of the tiny number left I don't think it would be possible to have both cams every battle. I'm sure once we get to the pointy end of tournament #2 it would be organiseable due to the fewer battles a week but for round 1 (must think of a better name to avoid confusion) this may be impossible
 
I was thinking more along the lines of "the Jimmy round" but round 1 of tournament 2 works fine

Sorry for poor spelling and grammar in the previous few posts, but it's nearly 12pm and my iPod thinks it knows how to spell better then me....
 
Haha lovely!! "The Jimmy Round" would suit me perfectly.. do i get an automatic by to the next round? same rule applies for those with the psn name jimmy? (i'm Alex) lol
 
Argument is over 1 track right? Just skip that track imo. to much straights indeed... if you cant manji that is...
 
2 possibilitys for grand valley speedway

well that was the plan, but too bad, round 1 of tournament 2 it is

yea this is all about one track. I would cut the track out but it has the most votes so far, so doing that may get me a bit of hate mail. ^^^no one ever said you can't manji. We are considerin adding a car on the side of the road as it would add an extra clipping point so the manji will have a purpose, look good & be tandemable. I feel that straights are the enemy for this event, but Indy 2 can be completely linked, it just requires a near perfect line & entry speed.

Thanks Kate, will admit OP in a few hours
 
Me and sai tried that section last night on indy..
Not happening with 300hp whoever told that story, and even with 500hp-600hp the angle is so low you can barely tell the car is sideways.

Why not just have the run start further back on the main straight, to make the entry turn harder, and end the run on the straight away that's causing the issue..
 
I say just cut the track out ,it not linkable nore tandem-able and cameras suck
or i'm out of the tournament , cuz my plans are having only me the judge and the opponent in the room ... more than 3 ppl in room will cause me lag ! LAAAAG :S

If it is possible to link (which it is) then Manji should not be allowed as it allows people to take the easy way out when some of us want the challenge of the hardest possible track to show our skills on.

No-one said 300bhp. I said 394bhp, and I did it with SAi chasing me to proove the point, and I was making huge mistakes at the time because I was over-tired.

Yes the angle was low, but the point is, coming out of a slow corner into a fast one you have to reduce angle to get the car to build speed.

The fact is, it IS linkable. And also, as I said before, people will know the track well in advance, and there are no power limits, so if someone picks a car which can't link it, who's fault is that?

Defo agreed. I was referring to Suzuka, i know i cant link that, but i can link this with 3 different cars, maybe not a great angle, but ive got oversteer... Dirt drops ftw...

Sorry, but that's rubbish, as SAi and I proved last night. I used a variety of cars and SAi was able to follow pretty close regardless of what I drove. When I got it right it was EASILY linkable in a 505bhp TVR T350C. Plus, our replays that we got were pretty outstanding as far as camera angles go (even if I was making some ridiculous mistakes).

If everyone starts making drift comps easy, what is the point of competing?

witch straight do you mean the first one or the second one after the long right hander?
The one between turns four and five on Indy (in between the two right-handers ;) )

Cool, thought you meant Indy.
Exaclty though, I'd rather see the rules allow a one-wheel dirt drop than impose a manji point :D

I'm not saying making it easy , im saying make it watchable and tandem drift-able with ANGLE ... about putting a car for an extra clipping point is not what i prefer to be done ...

Jesus man! it's about 3 seconds of an amzing drift line! and the camera angles are really nice round the whole first half of the track.

It's a competition to test skill, if others can do it and you can't, maybe the track's not the problem.

Chris.
 
With so many entrants I would expect quiet a few people slip up in qualifying. On a harder track, like indy these mistakes become much more obvious, making the qualifying judges job much easier. The rules for tournament 2 have changed from toothy 1. We are now using the official GTP rules

I would expect the overall skill of people that make it through qualifying will be higher then tournament 1 and it will be interesting to see how some of the less known names go in qualifying
 
How many qualifying runs is everyone going to get?

And I assume it will be the highest run score that determines qualifying slot, not something silly like multiple run scores added together (which discourages balls to the wall driving and rewards safe and consistant, which = fail).
 
Haha, my team Purple Blur doesn't have a logo for our team to put on your banner. We'll get our logo sometime.

You're out the tournament then LMAO.. don't be such a big baby about it all it's a bloody game!
 
You mean this one?

Note orange is the end according to a video i saw on youtube of Forza drifting, i however would prefer to include the hairpin... Thoughts Please!

Manji is by no means illegal, but have you either tried tandem Manji? If the drifters are close it usually ends in one flicking or spinning the other. I can see arguments spawning from this so i would prefer not to include long straights and overly wild manji.

The indy section that is so popular is really tricky to link, but with enough speed and a great line it is possible. It is however nearly impossible to link those last corners in a tandem. I know the skill competing though so i am not ruling out the layout. As a previous poster said, you guys will know what track you'll be drifting a whole week before qualifying and as such you should all get plenty of time to practice and pick a suitable ride

Well in Forza we did this: (The one on the right)

and yea, the one u said is what i was talking about, but if we include the turn 1 it will still be alright, and by doing that, we will have 2 corners that are possible to do backward entry beautifully lol
