And an absolutely epic fail on my part! I hate this track though. I want to know chrome's tricks though better than 2 seconds ahead of icelt and LJ in the same car. 👍

wow. thats just incredible. was not expecting to see a 57 up there....

im happy with what i got tho. im sure i couldve taken a little more out of it, but not much. i was averaging maybe 1 clean lap for every 8 or 9 scrubbed ones, so when i finally got that one i was like, thats good enough. and i mean, hey...its a ford fiesta. hahaha

What are the overall scores or have we done away with the points?

Good combo this. Not looking forward to driving around the oval in the next round though.

 

[Frizbe]

I haven't decided on the points, attendance is dropping and I am wondering if it is worth my time to be running these anymore. With all my work and school coming before my games I still have yet to finish Season 4 of the career mode (or Mass Effect 2 for that matter). I've made plans through week 10 though, so I have two more weeks before I come to a conclusion.

Also I don't like the ovals in Forza either I just thought it would be cool to coincide with a real world event.

 

[chromatic9]

Ah okay Frizbe.

Actually thinking about it, I'd like to run the oval and test my wheel.

Frizbe....ouch buddy, want some pointers on xbl for a little bit quicker?

Right . However I'm sure there are no tricks, some people are just fast, fast, fast is all. Last I checked he was at #7 on the LB's so you can easily download his replay to see how he did it, even with all the telemetry available for review. I haven't done so yet myself simply because I don't know if my ego can take it .

Actually I kinda think that keeping the points race up to date would help encourage participation. I understand if it seems like too much effort though.

Another participant here not looking forward to the oval. Blech .

Frizbe, I'm sure I read you have the Fanatec Turbo S. How is the wheel?

What other wheels have you used and does the Turbo S feel wrong in some way.

If you don't start you xbox in the correct procedure, the steering can be quite weird.

I'm still testing the various ways and settings.

I had to center the wheel and used Live for Speed config to test and set it. You can use the LFS demo too.

 

[Rykon Zero]

Whee, I is so slow.

I can't believe I didn't get a middle ground time. Ah, well, should have downloaded a ghost to race against. I know my line was horrible.

Why yes I am always looking to improve my times. 👍

I never noticed the steering being funny when I started the box using the wheel, only that the 7GS wouldn't work, started using the button on the front and it works(ed). I solved my slighty off steering with the new 660 firmware update and will be getting clubspport pedals soon. Too bad I can't use the 7GS anymore since my start button broke and you have to calibrate the shifter after the firmware update. 👎
