This will be interesting. Some predictions:

  1. If he’s really fast, people will complain.
  2. If he’s really slow, people will complain.
  3. Someone will call him an “average driver” regardless of time.

Any others?

VIR Patriot, Rain, stock VW Bettle, trackday.

VIR period. I wouldn’t want to walk around it, let alone drive around it.

Event closes too early
Game didn’t register my perfectly fine time
Why did I only know this thirty days in advance, I am too busy for this

Why has this event not started yet
Event dose not run long enough I need more time to beat his time
Why dose he keep improving his time I just beat him and now have to do it again that is cheating.

  1. I set a blistering time, but it’s not showing on the leaderboard. What gives?
  2. I beat the time, why isn’t the prize car in my garage yet?
  3. God, what a bore this event is, I did one lap and I’m already 3rd on the leaderboard, I suppose I could go faster but why bother?

:wink:

Cheers

I don’t think he’s fast at all and like Phil probably only recently started playing the game. The community folks are seasoned veterans as they’ve been playing forever, so it’s good to have someone to beat on what I hope this time will be a decent car and track selection!

I’m gonna say VIR in a Ford GT, so we can all try to beat both Hartman’s time and the time the ZR-1 just set that knocked the GT from the podium.

Plus, it’s a track most of the community seems to hate, so naturally, that’s where they’re going to go.

Why all the hate for VIR? I love that track. It’s been my 2nd favorite since it came out in FM6. Went to the weather tech race there & was equally impressed with the real thing. I just wish it was a tad wider.

It’s a poor man’s Nürburgring, which is why it’s featured in the Lightning Lap in the first place.

It’s also very difficult to drive at night and, in the layouts featuring the infield, it’s stupidly hard to overtake without causing chaos.

You literally answered your own question…

I actually enjoy VIR quite a lot, I think that would be a good Bounty Hunter Challenge.

It would be a great Bounty Hunter track. The tears from the people who can’t figure it out would be delicious, and as an added bonus some people might actually learn it so we don’t have to hear them cry about how hard it is all the time.

Knowing Turn 10 they would probably end up choosing one of the awful Patriot/Grand variants though… As amazing as VIR Full is, all the variants are pretty bad as they completely wreck the flow.

The infield works well as a standalone in the Patriot layout but the Grand layouts miss one of the best parts of VIR, which is that quick sequence of S-turns past the bridge.

VIR full is one of the beet tracks in the game. Any of the variants… not so much.
