THE CHALLENGE HUB, CHALLENGE COMPLETE

[Failmaster21]

Great read again


Great to see you back mate 👍


Your not a noob, you killed it in the last no-tune.


I've counted your 59.879 since its not the fastest time.


You still need to win against another field to get the title, this challenge isn't about how fast we are just winning the race. 👍

Thanks @bjl23 for that, probably gonna get to the no-tune, the knockouts and the carlympics this weekend, maybe do the invitational. Also I have an idea for the next invitational but not sure when to post it

Limited time play today so i needed something short.
After some laps on no tune where couldn't reach sub minute i quite and go to Goodwood where i saw a potential last time and ,....... I was right.
The bad thing is that ghost according i have the sub 45 which means i have to try it again.

A bit twichy on brakes the big merc but when you do it right its like having s.e.x.
Also as you see there's no record between my new and past lap record and thats cause i was too aggressive in every area and ruin enough runs cause of that .
I had a dead 46 ghost as reference and when i realise that " i had " it was searching for the good one and finally came.

 

[bjl23]

Did a few races in the jag last night, I had to make it look the part so I give you the JAGUAR XKR-S GT3.

Looks right at home.

He's my tune

NO-TUNE
I did a @smoothbore12 and forgot to move the cursor to the options icon , but since it's not the best time I'll allow it

When it's your turn to design an event I'll send you a PM, it goes in alphabetical order.
@Thematic is next, then me, then you.

Thanks for the info, also why do you have to show the options menu?

 

[smoothbore12]

Thanks for the info, also why do you have to show the options menu?

The reason for that is only to make sure that everyone use the courtesy car which means that there is no car settings to adjust ,also at courtesy car you can't change oil ,so there is no advantage on horse power which always used at no tune challenges.
Don't worry ,from time to time always someone forget ( ok,ok am one of them ) to take the courtesy car and use the car from the game.
Also you can't adjust 'Brake Balance as you can on original No tune challenges.

Edit
I was out for one week unable to play....
We return i take a single day of and since then...faq.
Tomorrow it will be the third day in a row that am gonna go to the island of Ydra for work ,wake up 5 and return after 13 hours ..... Faq again.
And the hard part didn't mention it yet ,at the island there's NO CARS !!!! Only animals like mule and donkeys to carry everything plus except the port everything else is an endless uphill with steps .
Am gonna leave my bones there
So much pressure .... Imagine that am writing from my WC right now at least i have time by my own.

 

[bjl23]

Thanks for the info, also why do you have to show the options menu?

Like @smoothbore12 said it proves that you used the courtesy car, when you use the courtesy car the car settings icon isn't there and thats how we know what car you used. 👍

I will count your times if you forget to show the icon if your time isn't the fastest in your division.

 

[nostradavor2]

I wanted to break into 57s today since its holiday here but its also 42° in my attic so not going to happen
Shame because I wanted do make some challenge for Hugh in my comeback, he'll beat 58.0 easily

 

[bjl23]

GOODWOOD
1st session and hopefully not my last

1 LAP DASH
Did a 5 lap stint

 

[Thematic]

Forrest Gump (again)

Last time, the shot from the finish line was a happy accident. So I took them a bit earlier today. I gather the times of the 2 and 2 laps are added. Interesting drive, as after a while what flashes into mind on rumble strips is something like "this should work" and a couple of times "I don't know what is going to happen". But since the race is short there's no terror.

I did seven races, three of which didn't qualify for scrutiny. Two of them were like that because of the Renault R5. First one was a more clear fingerpointing case, which got an exclamation out of me. It braked in the middle of the straight, before the double right that opens to the final fast part of the lap (one, yes). Second time, in a later race, was my fault though. After turn 1 on lap two the stupid powerful draft behind the R5 "flung" me into the EdR wall. Though I suppose I should have left that one far behind by then.
The third blunder was going with fifth gear into the quick left, after which there is only the chicane before the line. I already mentioned rumbles. Maybe the correct way, or one, is to lift just slightly when starting to turn.

"Faster" 5:10.15, "fastest" 5:09.728 ¯\O/¯
@Failmaster21 Good to learn that you were inspired regarding a new event!

You poked the Boogieman

 

[bjl23]

So it looks like the challenge hub will be going to GT7.

Do you think you can handle a lot lot more players Bryce, than a few you have in the Challenge Hub now ?.

 

[smoothbore12]

GT7 will be finally ps5 title as it seems .
So the question is when and how much ps5 costs.

Back to ours now and as i wrote i had the sub 55s on Goodwood

Half hour session was enough and one second behind Boogeyman's blistering pace is not bad at all.
Hope to be the final day today working on Ydra cause am back home after 12-13 hours every day and very tired .

 

[bjl23]

Yes I think I can and I welcome it, I would love to have 20+ people.

 

[CBH]

So the question is when and how much ps5 costs.

I think it comes out a few months before the end of this year the cost depends on a PS5 or a PS5 pro, I will go for the pro which is well over 5 or close to 600 hundred Australian dollars I think.

I heard the PS5 comes out in November, not sure about GT7

 

[nostradavor2]

Well it looks promising if nothing else, few months earlier or later doesn't make much difference for me. But since they always used to mess up with launch dates, I think they'll be accurate this time because competition is bigger than ever. Only thing I hope for is that I'll have time and money to set everything as I want. It'll probably be last game I'll take seriously

 

[CBH]

That what everyone want to know about GT7 is when, and I hope GT7 comes at the end of the year but it is very good to see information about the game .

 

[smoothbore12]

GT 7 will be a launch game together with ps5, they definitely need a hit as start and whats better than a brand new GT7 ? Nothing .
They learn from gt sport failure and understand that people want something " complete" and not a game that depends on internet connection only that you have to update every month .
Even if i prefer Formula one as a fan ,gt series stole my heart from the very first one.
Also except some pac man ( or something like that) on the first console , nothing else ender at my ps as a game ever.
Will see but definitely am not gonna be from the first buyers .
Sales will come soon and packages with gt7 will hit the road quickly after the launch madness and hope a G29 or something new from Logitech will follow .
A year ago a new G29 was about 230 euro here and now you can't find it less than 320 !!!!

Anyway time will tell and with or without the " virus" that we are surrounded i think our hub will grow ,shine and become glorious at the future .
We are ordinary ( ok with some exceptions ) people ,we seek fun first of all and am afraid that we will be way more than 20 as mentioned above .
We have the best " boss" and we support him in every aspect one way or another.
Personally i appreciate and respect him for all the dirty work that is doing and i will be at his side ( God's will) on everything that he's up to do .

Thanks mate for your kind words.

I will get a ps5 as soon as gt7 comes out, I've been thinking about how the challenge hub will be on gt7 and I think I will do a more simpler version. Since there will be a lot of other groups doing similar things, the no-tune challenge will stay and the design your own race will carry over to.

The hub will remain an offline competition but that will also depend on how gt7 works, in the mean time let's have fun here.

The PS4 came out in Brazil costing about $1000 USD. The PS5? With the current crisis being worse than anything we had back in 2013, it's probably going to cost more than my entire house.
By the time I have a chance to play GT7, the PS6 will already be out. And that's an optimistic prediction.

The rumor in Australia is it's going to be about $500 - $600, which is about $350 - $400 USD

FOREST GUMP
Managed to win with spin on my 2nd lap.

No issues with race but did get a harder field.

DRIFNASTICS
Used the car 100% stock changed the tyres to CH, great drift car.

 

[smoothbore12]

I understand very clear what Snow white said about the price of ps5 in his country ........
The most expensive ps was the ps3 here and even if they are rumors to be around 500 euros here , personally i don't see it and am afraid will be more .
The virus era is a huge step back for many countries especially the non rich ones .

Back to ordinary days ( i guess) from today for me and hope to find some time during weekend to run something while yesterday i was sleeping from 8 o'clock !!!!
Thought that forest gump will be more difficult when i design it cause laps between 2.33-2.34 needed for me but seems the AI adapt to the players pace very quickly and give the opportunity to win even with a spin as Bryce wrote and @Thematic also win near 5.20s.
At least i hope to enjoy everybody the ride of the opera which is quite manageable stock on SS tyres everywhere.

Have a good weekend guys ,be safe and cool.

The opera is a very nice car to drive, needs a bit more HP but.

Decided to forego the happenings this weekend, go back to the series' roots. Played GT2 for a while, all gold for B license, and nearly there for A license
