Hard Luck Racing's Hotlap Challenges - Taking a Summer Break - Thanks Everyone For Your Support

Catalunya is such an amazing track, thank you fo selecting it! The long turns really test your patience and the last couple of corners are amazing at the limit.

Had to start this week by trying my own tune first. I picked the Alpine as it stands for what I like in a car, lightweight and fun to drive. Got it up to a 1.54.092 for now, but a mid 53 is definitely in there (when I find that patience haha).
Good chance I will switch to a tune from someone else at a later point, maybe even another car. I should learn to give in some more to the meta if I want to be competitive…

Lot of competitive cars in this group. Didn’t know if I could beat a previous time set with a Lotus Emira but just crushed it with a 1:51.472 in Chronics Nissan 370Z. Sweet ride!

Tunes for the Evora are up.

A700 light is the actual quickest in my hands. I can shave off another 3 tenth at minimum, but can’t reproduce what I’ve done in last sector. I’ll give it another try tomorrow.

While it’s very unlikely I’m going to win this week do you also want to see the accompanying video to go with the screenshot?

I’ve got the reply saved to my computer but I couldn’t figure out how to share it via xbox live. Sharing doesn’t seem to be as straightforward via computer as it does via a bonafide Xbox.

The other options would be to email you my best lap as a video, or I could upload it to Youtube which might be less faff for you guys.

Edit 2: time improved to a 1:51.606

Hi. First of all thanks for organizing everything and offering a livery.
But quick question: where should I message you? I can`t find private messages in this forum so I did sent a message to your gamertag with the XBox-App. I am now unsure if that was the right way because I have not (yet) gotten a reply.

That should work!

1:49.969 in the 370z, still using Chronic’s v2.

First rounds with the Alpine :heart_eyes: and Chronics V2 tune took me straight in the worlds Top5. 1:54.3 and there is easy one second left for me. Love the class and the cars, the track not so much.

I’m not setting any lap records but I have done a time in a qualifying car I think @HLR_Moss. It was very much a quick run though, so you can add me after I’ve gone a bit faster if you like!

Now that the Nurburgring has released. Just curious if there will be any HLCs on the big tracks. Thatd be a great test of skills but also some very frustrating trials. I think its a good track to level cars on if your driving it yourself. Have yet to do any self driving techniques to see if it stays on track. But mainly curious about future HLCs before i run some laps in rivals that could potentially never be beaten by myself again in something else. If there are plans for it. Ill steer away from rivals and stay free playing the track.

We’ve ran Le Mans which is a pretty long lap.

No reason not to run the ring obviously it’s frustrating when you invalidate a lap but that’s parts of the difficulty of hot lapping there.

It’s a real testing track you can’t fluke a good lap like you could on shorter tracks because there are so many demanding sections.
