Bigtime muscle - horsepower challenge 2 - results posted!

HORSEPOWER CHALLENGE brought to you by BIGTIME MUSCLE

A new Challenge Series for the Forza 4 community - YOU pick your cars to compete with !!

This is a new monthly Challenge Series - Each month, we will set a HP range - you choose ANY car (with monthly exceptions) - you build/tune car WITHIN the chosen HP range and compete in a a two leg timed competition. 20 laps at a chosen speedway and 10 circuit laps at a circuit track from the same location. Replays must be saved and times from both legs will be combined to determine over all winner and finishers.

Participants must run the event with “HORSEPOWER CHALLENGE” LOGO on their car - sides or top/hood - available for free download at koolIROCZ1967 storefront - rates appreciated if you deem worthy ;]

You must run the same car for both legs - builds/tunes will obviously need to be changed - but same car must be used

You will race “online” and set your lap numbers - YOU MUST RUN SOLO - no AI cars allowed

Save replays from both legs and label “HP2 Speedway” and “HP2 Circuit”

Participants must post their chosen car - HP rating - Speedway time - Circuit time

ex. Murcielago LP670-4 SV - 661 Hp

Speedway - XX:XX.XXX

Circuit - XX:XX.XXX

IF you update your time with a different car - your previous time will be eliminated - only 1 car and time allowed at any given time during the competition.

Times will be combined and totaled - and winners determined.

CONVERSIONS are allowed - cars must remain with the chosen HP range/class chosen.

NO RACE CARS - “CONCEPTS” or SPECIAL EDITION “COMPETITION” MODELS

Winner will receive 200 million credits - 2nd place - 150 million - 3rd - 100 million - rest of the participants will receive 25 million each - most “off the wall” car chosen - 50 million credits

There will also be a monthly Photo comp within the Challenge - 1st - 100 million - 2nd 75 million - 3rd - 50 million and of course, Honorable Mentions.

Ok, guys - last day for the premiere Challenge - so I decided to fire up the next one to give you guys some time to sort your options ;]

350 - 390 HP - A class are your limits - 97 Honda Civic added to the prohibited list ;]

MAKE SURE you guys are labeling replays correctly - HP2 Speedway - HP2 Circuit

Hope to see same faces and maybe few more new ones join in :]

Kool

Heck yeah, I can run the Foxbody II Cobra R! It’s one of the best sounding cars in the game; right before you hit the RPM limiter the engine “howls.” It sounds so badass! X )

Im in :slight_smile:

Havent a Scooby what im gonna run though . . .

Edit

No idea how competitive my time is but i managed 58:1xx fastest lap on Speedway with a quick tune up .

92 Ford Escort - 389hp Speedway, 382hp Circuit

Speedway - 19:48.862 - Touched the wall a couple of times

Circuit - 15:35.20 - dirty laps 5 & 8


Had to be quick with this one, going out of town for the next week, so only had today.
This was already in my garage with an A spec tune within the HP limits
Good luck all

The 1990 Mercedes 190 Evolution is probably going to be one of the fast cars in this one … on the Speedway with just a twenty second tune up I managed right about 19.03 and Circuit … ( not my best area - using speedway tune with added reear downforce and slight bump in final drive all else the same ) 15.30 … fast laps 56.3 speedway and 1.31.8 Circuit … A600 390 HP 413 TQ 2663 LBS

this is not my entry tho :wink: and it will definitely go faster on the oval and much much faster on the circuit …

Ok - had time before work to get a full speedway run made -

My weapon of choice - after MUCH buying and testing…

02 Lotus Esprit - onelapmagic tuned - A600 - 381hp Speedway - 19:04.028 - fast lap - 56:151 - scrapped the wall couple times, so I can improve time a smidgen ;]

Apologies ;] Lets thank Wan Ge for being our first participant and wish him loads of fun on his holiday ;]

Thanks, Wan Ge ;]

Yakov - bring on the ‘Blue Oval’ ;]

voldemortt - found from my many testing that @ 58/57 was the average laptime with this HP

DRAGGIN - I tested the MB and I am positive that anyone a much better racer than myself will grab some good times with the MB - I’m sure of it ;]

Looks like I need to learn how to drive ovals, or find a faster car when I get back.

I put tunes up for each track ( front aero added for the GP ) for the 190 E if anyone wants to sample them out

Jumping in with the De Tomaso Pantera

  • hp 357 circuit - hp 389 speedway -

HP Circuit. - 15:37:024
HP Speedway - 19:21:073
Pantera

Sweet! … A Class… Lots of goodies in A Class… I’m starting off with one of my all time favourite car… the '97 Mazda RX7 355hp
HP2 Speedway – 19:19.152
HP2 Circuit – 15:15.682
Both tunes are up in Storefront.

Something I tried for fun was the Big Bruiser Lincoln … I call it Goliath … actually broke into 1.01.9 to 1.02.2 laps on the speedway with a PI of 518 … Toyota Supra Starion and 370Z both ran very well in 56’s … fastest car I found for oval so far that is also going to have a good shot on the GP like the 190E or Espirit is the Lancia 037 … 55.7 lap 55.8 laps on the speedway … going to try it on the GP now

Yay!! New HPC, and A Class to boot!! :slight_smile:

I’ve just done the Speedway so far, mainly because I actually like this oval.

Usually, I love circuits and hate ovals, but this time it’s flipped…well, I don’t hate this circuit, but it is a challenge for me.

Anywho, I used the Skyline R34, RWD conversion with 389HP.

Total Time – 18:53.838

I put up a decent lap time on the boards with this car, 55.929, but it’s not in the replay. Only managed a 55.939 in the replay.

Oh, replay is uploaded.

Looks like the Ferarri 355 is for the bin then lol , i did a 16:30 for circuit :frowning:

Will try some of the cars mentioned above , at least i cant get slower !!!

I de-tuned my 1962 Lincoln Continental to a PI A 501 and added aero :wink: 380 HP … this is my entry

Speedway 21.18.332

Circuit 17.08.159

Replays up :o)

Alrighty, just finished the circuit potion of this challenge, and here are both of my times.

HP2 Speedway – R34 389HP – 18:53.838, fastest lap on replay 55.939 ( 55.929 on LB )
HP2 Circuit – R34 381HP – 15:28.898, fastest lap on replay and boards is 1:31.479

I believe that brings me to a 34:21.898

Thanks as always Kool, fun stuff. :slight_smile:
