Lol day light savings time screwing up everyone I wa alike ??? moss is 1 hour late ? Usually it ends at 645pm eastern time right now its 745 eastern time we had day light savings time yesterday

It was always going to be tough at Mugello to match our recent expoits, so a Top 20 finish was the best we could expect with these cars. Our drivers did not disappoint, with our top 5 drivers making it into the Top 20. The '92 Honda NSX turned out to be the pick of the bunch, but several other cars in the division were capable of running it close.

Thanks to everyone that ran for helping create another successful event.

Here is a screenshot of the final leaderboard:


Once again we are offering exclusive liveries to the top 3 drivers in each Tier, and to the Tuner whose shared setup finished in the highest place when driven by someone else. Winning drivers in Tiers 2 and 3 will be promoted to the Tier above for the next event.

The '92 Honda NSX-R dominated our leaderboard this week. It was used by every driver making the podium in all 3 Tiers. It was tough to keep track of the changes running up to close. The lead changed hands several times before RP Korhen arrived to take the win. Team RP would have swept the board in Tier 1, until HLR Bubba, and Lightsider74 arrived to claim 2nd and 3rd places, stopping them from filling the podium. RP Chronic once again produced the setup used by all our top finishers to claim the Tuner’s Prize.

Tier 1 Prize winners

1st Place: RP Korhen
2nd Place: HLR Bubba
3rd Place: Lightsider74
Tuner Prize: RP Chronic for the Honda NSX-R setup used by RP Korhen.

Subie156 was a comfortable winner in Tier 2 to reestablish his position as a very good Tier 1 driver. psybertech, and Alabama Joe came with late runs to take the remaining podium places in a very close battle.

Tier 2 Prize winners
1st Place: Subie156
2nd Place: psybertech
3rd Place: Alabama Joe

There was a lot more variety in the cars chosen by Tier 3 drivers, which was good to see, but the podium places all went to the Honda NSX-R.

Tier 3 Prize winners
1st Place: Kewl427
2nd Place: The NFAC
3rd Place: Bluesky0870

Congratulations to all our prize winners. Each livery will carry a different race number, and will be personalised with the driver’s gamertag. .

The 1992 Honda NSX-R

To collect your livery drop me a message when you see me online, and I will share it long enough for you to download. I won’t be upset if you decide you don’t want it.
Please try to collect them within a week. With 10 new liveries created every week, I can’t afford to hang onto them for too long before I run out of storage space. Uncollected liveries will be deleted when I hit my maximum livery limit.

Event 16
Track: Indianapolis GP
Class: B
Cars restricted to the Vintage Exotic GT division
Finishes, 15 minutes before Midnight GMT on Monday, 16th March

Apologies to drivers who may have already run this track in fast cars. If you can’t beat your existing time we will accept evidence of a slower time. The only way that we think this can be done is by pausing the game after crossing the line, entering the Capture & share menu (via the XBox button), and selecting Record what happened. The save options are the last 15, 30, 45 seconds, or the last minute. The last minute is recommended. The saved clip can then be saved for upload to us, or to the Forum thread, as evidence.

Vintage Exotic GT

1967 Aston Martin DBS
1969 Ferrari Dino 246 GT
1973 Lamborghini Espada 400 GT
1972 Lamborghini Jarama S
1967 Lamborghini Miura P400

Version number matches so I’m happy now.

Congrats to all tier winners, podiums, and RP_Chronic (honorable mention to FFR Truebk, Haulmarc, and Lightsider)!

Great runs everyone! Good luck this week!

I got it sorted now. I re read the msg about the update and while the new system is fun it is exasperating always having to buy CP as it is limited at a time but it still beats leveling and with 35 mill I won’t be hurting! Anyways, enough bellyaching.

The Miura may be the strongest this week. I noticed Chronic doesn’t have a tune shared. How about it my man?

Jarama is on LBs……

Well so far all im seeing is the Aston for this week. Hopefully those others can be somewhere close to it. Currently posted with a 1:32.806.

Tune is shared for anyone wanting to give it a go!

I tried the dino first… Handles like a tank, no way this car slides or gets out of control with my tune. But you can eat while driving. Its slower than molasses at -40C. Took the Aston with deadcriminals tune second. Bought car points like an idiot. Much faster now, but the handling is a bit like being part of fire and ice wearing socks.

That was definitely a rough handling build. I agree its either glued or about to spin. Since there are only a few cars to mess with here ill most likely go back and change some things. The other cars just seem to have more tire under them and are way easier to control but lack the speed to a certain degree. But i also only put about 20 minutes into them before bed. Will hopefully have a tune for each up today and maybe an updated tune for the aston later tonight.

You can post here to let us know if you use a shared setup, but if you don’t post we will pick up your times from the leaderboard, and add it to our own.

We have added you to our friends list, and will include your lap times on our leaderboard, which can be viewed here - HLC Leaderboard

I’m not good with the tuning side. No patience to learn it either. So I stole Jimbo’s tune for a run out in the Aston. Still got lots of time to try and find yet!
