What’s up MotorSports Fans!?!?!
Do you guys want another challenge for FM4!?!?!
(crickets) SILENCE (crickets)
Hmmm…seems to be getting a little scarce around here these days.
Oh well, I’m going on with this thing anyway!!!
Blah, Blah, Blah (windbag)
So I was continuing my insane grind that is the Bucket List the other day and I came across the NSX races, and noticed that on the loading screen it referred to the NSX as being “Developed using the Suzuka Circuit.”
Well, a thought came to me after racing this car a bit, this car is Freakin" Fun to Drive!! So, I promptly (a few days later…hey, that’s right on top of it for me) came up with this challenge to try and keep this thing interesting.
Finally, Something worth reading
So this is what we are going to do, well…I hope you do anyway, we are going to go really fast around the Suzuka West Circuit. (brilliant huh!!)
There is a Participation Paint thrown together, pic above, in my Store for free, and the tune we will be using for this crazy challenge is there as well.
“But I thought the title says Interactive Challenge?? Where’s the interaction??”
Just keep your pants on there Slick, I’m getting to it.

Interactive Part
Alright, now that we have all of that out of the way, here comes the hopefully fun for you guys part, instead of just using my tune to go around this thing let’s try tweaking the tune to your own liking and letting the rest of us know what works for you.
Please keep the build the same, but change to your hearts content all of the settings you want to. If the Diff doesn’t agree…change it, if the Springs are too stiff…soften them.
I’m just trying something different here, there is nothing wrong with using a locked tune by any means, and I am not complaining in any way, shape or form, just trying to keep things interesting and alive.
Rules
Just drive around fast, I will keep track of a leader board, but mainly only for bragging rights.
Honor system in play here – Let’s be honest, I’m not going to go check everyone’s replays (I’m too lazy for that), but if you want to upload to show your finesse around the asphalt, then by all means do so.
Also, there’s not really anything at stake here, so hopefully we can all play nice.
Prizes
Well, not much in way of prizes to go with here (this is mainly just for fun). A few credits is all I have offer, so if anybody that participates wants some, I will give them 25mil for doing a few laps.
UPDATE
Photos
Let’s add some pics to this thing as well.
Same rules as always, no swearing, rude or crude lilveries, etc, etc
Another 25 mil to all that add pics.
Length of Contest
Let’s go until the end of Valentine’s Day, Feb 14th.
