Ugh, I have had a bad run of picking cars the first three weeks. Started with '17 RS and did not do very well. Best time was AWD with Body Kit. I was expecting more, especially so with the body kit and wider tires. She’s just too heavy. Tried RWD but still not enough muscle and grip. Need more time with RWD. So many different combos to try and I failed to find a decent one…I may revisit later.

Moved on to '09 Focus since I already had one. I beat my PB with the RS already at a PI of 586. Probably won’t be on til Friday so I am going to have to make do with the '09.

So I leveled the 17 focus and it’s really bad lol like really bad I can put a tune together if you want but it’s so heavy it’s like driving a bus lol I do have a great tune for the 03 focus tho that runs right with the clio

As i got my son to AFK the V6 Clio up yesterday, which was good of him, I asked my wife to do the same today with the Megane as she is off work… She told me to AFK off :smiley:

Looking at the replay of the perfect lap I put together with the help of the Dark Side of the Force……. 1:59.752. The Clio and Chronic helped. :wink:

Man, I picked the Clio V6 because it’s one of the most ridiculous car ever devised. A RMR sport car based on an FF econobox, and it’s not even an homologation car like the R5 Turbo, it’s a one-make trophy car they turned into a wacky salon concept they turned into an actual street-legal production car. They just did it for the lolz.

Are you telling me that’s actually the best car in this category?

Lots of favourites in there, hopefully there’s enough time them all up
Might start with the British ones and then have time left for the Lamborghini Countach and Ferrari 512

Tune could use some small changes, but ran the only car i had leveled up already. 1:56.xxx is likely possible, but not bad for one of the slower cars in the bunch.

Kayalami is weird. You do what feels like near identical laps but one can be 2 seconds slower.

Took my Alfa to a 1:58.6, not much more left in that car, but i love this car regardless, so i will stick with it until the end. Oh and i am on PC, needs to be updated on the leaderboard.

I know I have half a second in me if I could ever managed to put my best sectors together. But all I gained tonight is a cool 4 milliseconds. I didn’t even beat my next rival with that.

Keep at it! Best of luck!

Alright, I did it. And now I’m thinking if I put my best sectors together, I could get a 1:57. It never ends, does it?

I’ve shared my tunes. One with the stock V6 and a turbo, one with the 3.7L V6 that I assume is a Ford Duratec, one with the I4T. I did learn a couple of things though fiddling with the sliders and swapping parts around. 1) There is such a thing as too much aero. 2) What if ballast what the most OP upgrade you could install?

I’m gonna grab a celebratory Big Mac now and I think that’ll be my time for this week. Gonna start to think about what I’m going to do with the McLaren, the F40 and the 512TR for next week.

Yeah the alfa has the best handling of all cars i drove in this challenge. I had a 1:58.7 with it and think you can push him 2-3 tehth further. Would love to use a HLR tuning to look if there is more left in the car.
