Unfortunately not. Felt too surprised and pi***d. Just shot down my console after returning to the rivals main screen.

@Mr_Quint_808 Half the time I go off-track at the Bilstein curve, so I fell you.


Did some laps this morning with the NSX.

Last try was 9:18.97
With added race transmission 9:17.675
Then with race tyres 9:03.566
Then with a couple engine upgrades for 800 PI 8:57.979
Feels like a proper racecar now. If I was brave enough I could push it a lot more.

50 laps ??? I dont think ive done 10 laps total of the Nordschleife, and that includes FM6 which was the last time I was on it. I will try more this week and try and shave a some off my time.

Tried the LFA, only to realise the livery is bugged. Maybe that’s why I kept going off-road so much. No kidding, I tried five or six times, going back to the pits and using the CP I just gained from each half-attempt, and I only managd to finish a lap right when I reached the final form at 800 PI. A very sloppy 8:50.462, but that’s my new PB.

It took me a long time on Forza 7 to remember all the turns and bumps. Once you learn the track it get easier to get clean laps.

I agree. Back in FM3, I couldn’t run a clean lap at the Ring either until I committed and did the endurance series at it over and over. I miss the single player from those days.

360 Scuderia time.
First try, 9:16.000 exactly.
Race tyres and some other upgrades 9:00.652 and 9:00.562, which is pretty consistent, isn’t it?
Some weight reduction, I went off just before the backstraight, so it’s a dirty 8:50.918, which is already almost PB
More engine parts, 8:47.698
More engine parts, at 800 PI, 8:44.646, which is a 6 second improvement over the LFA earlier. I think most of it is that I’m really just going harder from knowing the track better. And honestly, I don’t think I’ve had this much fun in this little competition than this week. This really is a magical track. Well, minus the GP part.

If you don’t mind building a setup for the Lotus that would save me from grinding another car for hours. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
I tried @Crucian4 tune but the tail steps out while I attempt to trail brake into the corners…
I ended up with a tune from @Raceboy77 but it’s not really Nordschleife friendly.

It may be later tonight before i can get one leveled up but that was one of the next ones i planned to give a go. So ill make that a priority. I did just manage to bring the 16 Porsche 911 GT3 RS around with a dirty 8:37.xxx and could probably scrape a little more off. And that would only need to be leveled around 27ish. That tune is shared as well!

So a few more laps tonight and managed to shave a smidge over 20 seconds off my time.

Thanks go to Mr Chronics tune in the 08 Viper, I did put sport traction on for a bit of confidence, but what a great car to drive.

I didn’t even get lost once :man_dancing:

The '16 Porsche is the next on my list. Tomorrow I’ll give it a try. :+1:

Finally down to a clean 8.57.xxx in the Ferrari 430 S.
Tune is uploaded. Pretty easy to handle.

I have not found a car with those stats but the V2 Lotus Emira I just posted is right there with Moss in his Viper run for half the track. I did not finish the lap as parental duties called. It has much lower stats though…
