I forgot to tweak my tune for the mini-SBC, so I have to decide - risk changing it without testing before tonight's race, or go with what I've got, which will definitely be a losing proposition.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
We're all gonna lose anyway, might as well play with it
1. Team America - 47:23.953 + 15pts.
a) SilconStew - Ford Mustang '65 - 46:37.334
b) Michelanvalo - Corvette C1 - 48:10.571
2. Team UK - 47:41.881 + 10pts.
a) oldmanken - Jaguar E-type - 46:58.287
b) Eclibull - 3000 MKIII - 47:46.700
c) Nova Collision - Jaguar D-type - 48:20.656
3. Team Italia - 47:42.654 + 5pts.
a) Knight is Crazy - Ferrari 250 TR - 47:41.499
b) Basticular - Alfa Romeo GTA - 47:43.810
Well played by Stew, totally dominant. Best team play had to be Eclibull... good job suggesting an alternate line for Knight.
1. Team America ............ 15pts. - 5bpts. = 20
2. Team UK .................... 10pts. - 5bpts. = 15

If I can't resolve the issues I'm having with the Jag, I'm out of the series.
21 hot laps all by myself is not my idea of a fun time.
Could just be the Jag isn't suited to Silverstone? It's a really weird course.

Speed, mostly. My plan is to go back to sport tranny, up the weight a bit, widen the back tires a bit and add to the horsepower (It starts at 250 or thereabouts and I only manage to bring it up to like 258 or something).
The tune isn't suited to Silverstone for sure, and won't be in its current incarnation for any fast courses since I have such a low top speed. It handles great for the most part, but is a bit loose on sweeping turns, so I'll want to try to lock down the back tires some.
6 Porsche's left. They probably want use one slot to promote the 2012 911, so lets see...the Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera Cabriolet, Carrera S Cabriolet, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Carrera 4 Cabriolet, Carrera 4S Cabriolet, Carrera GTS, Carrera GTS Cabriolet, Carrera 4 GTS, Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet, Targa 4, Targa 4S, Turbo, Turbo S, Turbo Cabriolet, Turbo S Cabriolet, GT3 RS 4.0, or GT2 RS. The choice is obvious, really.

The GT3 4.0's probably a sure shot. And certainly the Turbo S.
24 hours of Nurburgring starts todat at 10AM EST:
This page has some links to watch it: Here
Last year I watched the Audi feed while listening to commentary provided from Radio Le Mans.
Go to Community -> Leaderboards -> Circuit -> B Class -> Sebring -> Club and select my name from the list and hit "Race this Ghost" and then select my Alfa Romeo Guiletta GTA from the club garage, the same one I ran that time with and try to beat me.
At the end of the week anyone whos beaten me will recieve a special gift (TBD). I also have until then to better my time (I'll use the car in the garage so its the same tune). As of right now my best time is 1:14.889
p.s. this is just my general tune, not track specific.
In case anyone missed this you have until midnight tonight to attempt this. So far groove fender oldman and eclibull are fhe only ones to try
Also i just lnocked 2 tenths off my best time and passed groove
What you're saying is there's no point in scrubs like me even attempting this? :P
I may give it a go when I get off work, but probably not. I've got about 5 hours of TV queued up that I'm behind on and Diablo 3 callssssssss to usssssss.
Yawn, no interesting Porsche DLC this weekend. I think at this point I'm not going to buy it, they've really fallen flat here at the end. Tons of interesting cars they could have put in, but bleh.
Bast: so I'm a day late, but I finally took a crack at your new time. I barely beat you, but I don't think I could do any better no matter how long I tried.
The Porsche pack is taunting me, I can see it, and all the cars in it on Forza, just can't purchase it yet.
EDIT: Looks like there is a problem with buying the pack through the in-game store when you are a VIP, probably because of the discount.
I was able to purchase it from the marketplace, and it looks like the VIP discount is applied on there.
Ugh... went to go get the Porsche pack, bought some points via Amazon, but they don't work with my account. My account is Canadian, and the points I bought were for the US... annoying.

Will have to wait on buying the pack...
Can you transfer the code still? Could probably work out a paypal trade or something.

E2: There are 2 columns of new events.
I wonder if the new events factor into the Bucket List cheevo. That would be kinda annoying.

That's so weird, I just finished my first bottle of Eagle Rare Single Barrel, and it was quite good.
It's so good. I think I might make a drink when I get home, then another before/during the race tonight

Fuck Yeah!
A. It was payback for Bast pitting me earlier.
and B. Just like what Bast did to me, I didn't really try to take you out, but I didn't really try not to either :P
Also, yeah, very fun race(s). Bast/Michelanvalo/Me had about the closest, cleanest race possible for the majority of that race for 3rd/4th/5th.

21 hot laps all by myself is not my idea of a fun time.
Handling or speed issue? If I get a chance this weekend, i'll see what kind of tuning results I can get...
Could just be the Jag isn't suited to Silverstone? It's a really weird course.

Anyway, I'll work on it.
