Except the first one

Have to say I am absolutely loving this game. Still massively prefer it to Forza 3 even though it's very very similar. Spuk - your times are incredible. VX220NA - love your car designs. Stuwey - I get the feeling you're eyeing up my rival times...................

Spuk - your times are incredible.

I'm not too bad, but it looks like I'm awesome because I did absolutely every rival challenge I could so you will always see my name as a competitor!

The real speed demon is VX Boyd though . Not a chance of keeping up with you on some of those rivals!

VX220NA - love your car designs.

Some of them are absolutely insane! Have you done them all yourself in the Forza design tools?

It's weird, it's incredibly similar to Forza 3 on one level, and whilst I enjoyed 3 it never ever gripped me like this one has.

Re times: whatever you say. But top 1000 in the world is still impressive in my book regardless.

Incidentally, I would enjoy Forza whilst you can, doesn't look like it's going to get much better any time soon:

I need to get round to doing all the rivals, I think I've only fully completed one maybe two sets of the rivals - I refuse to pay for the DLC so won't ever be able to do the monthlys though and I much prefer the events where everyone has the same car - I'm dreadful at drifitng though.
I came close to blitzing my Nordschleife time in the Radical but came off a few bends from the final straight - and haven't played it since!
I'm going to try and session all this evening on it if any club members are around.
I'll have to have a look at VX220NA's designs, love the paint editor but can't find the time to recreate any of my past masterpieces - and my forza 3 game appears to have corrupted so I've lost loads of designs

Top tip - all about manual with cluch - just change clutch to the A button and you can press it with your thumb as you shift up/down on the B/X buttons.

i have beten Spuk's time on the one track he did that I did but how Boyd gets those times in i don't know... Will has been on every time I have, we will have to have a race soon. was a race night not going to be arranged?

[elwill]

I'm in revision mode at the mo, tend to do some reading or questions, then a couple of races, then back again. Skyrim etc I need time to sink in. So I'm not always actually online! PS I'm a terrible, terrible online racer. First corner I'll ram you immediately and then you'll be screaming at me. Tried split screen Kinect racing with Kat this afternoon, was surprisingly evenly matched!

[Andrew aka Stuwy]

Did a few more challanges last night, Boyd is my target

[spuk87]

PS I'm a terrible, terrible online racer. First corner I'll ram you immediately and then you'll be screaming at me.

Same, my sensibility goes when racing online as the drive to win overtakes my drive to brake!

was a race night not going to be arranged?

We never actually arranged anything like we did for Forza 3, I'm never sure when I'll be online but it would be nice to have a race with a few of us.

Top tip - all about manual with cluch

100% true. Although I've gone with the right analog stick as accel/brake and the left trigger is then the clutch (so it is analog then rather than on/off like the A button).

Re times: whatever you say. But top 1000 in the world is still impressive in my book regardless.

Well when you put it like that

PS I was ranked 429 for the newish rival challenge of 1 mile Top Gear track drag strip last time I looked (but it will have dropped now, sigh).

[elwill]

I think that was a monthly challenge, as I can't find it anymore. Well I was number one on the Club leaderboard for the new drag strip challenge so there. Of course that was before anybody else had set a time.

OHHHHHHHH I see a reason to buy F4 now!!!! Huayra is available in the Jan Jalopnik pack

Why's that a reason??

You get to play with the real thing!

They'd go spastic if I crash it though, so this is more fun

[elwill]

Spuk - how the hell do you race like that??? Could never use the right stick for accel/brake! That said having a pressure sensitive clutch would be cool but does it help? Even with clutch on you can still just floor the accelerator at the start. VXBoyd - you're right, clutch makes a massive difference, and it's much easier to use with it mapped to A. Don't think I have enough spare brain power to use it on anything other than drag racing though! Certain things about it and starting to annoy me ever so slightly. Like the fact that the auction house is still a little clunky, and collecting your credits is a pain. Also the little animation where you roll up to the start line and rev your engine a few times is starting to really hack me off!

You will have to keep trying as I just beat you

Not only did I beat you, I beat you on my opening lap from standstill, caught you up and overtook.

Theres about 3 places you drop your speed and you dont need. If you race my ghost you will clearly see where your losing time.
