HLR HLCs Season 4 - That's All Folks, Hope to See You in Season 5

LOL, It is getting tough to find tracks that most of our regulars haven’t run. In my defence I did give it a quick run to check there wasn’t too much standing water. The cars are quite good too :smiley:

I spotted that. The extra grip is useful in the wet!

Edit: Adjusted the leaderboard :smiley:

Brands Hatch in the rain was a challenge, but at least 3 of the cars performed well. Fifty Inch, and STIdarkside chose the '00 Cobra Mustang to lead the pack for most of the week, whilst minsons experimented with a variety of cars, including the '07 Shelby Mustang before settling on the '02 Camaro.

The top 4 were separated by less than 3 tenths of a second, with razzitGT just missing out on a podium position.

The final leaderboard:

Congratulations to our podium drivers!

1st place: minsons
2nd place: Fifty Inch
3rd place: STIdarkside 88

The following event will be the final one in Season 4, so we decided to try something different. We have never run NASCAR, and we have never run an oval, so we are off to the brickyard to see if we can tame these beasts.

Many thanks to you all for accepting our challenges over the last 30 weeks. We’ll let you know if we decide to start a season 5 before FM8 launches. It would be helpful if Turn 10 could update us on their progress!

Week 30 (Season 4 Finale)
Indianapolis Brickyard Oval
R Class Rivals
Cars restricted to the NASCAR division.
Event will close on Wednesday, 21st April at 9pm UK time (GMT).

We will track your times here - HLC Leaderboard .

Surprised my time was good enough to keep me on the podium. I know a mid 1:36 was possible if I would have been able to run it more.

Thanks Moss for another great season!

Alright, that’s about as much turning left as I can stand. Got maybe 10 laps in to get a build set, then another 15 or so setting a time. It’s not fast, but it’s clean. Small victories and all that.

Current best: 2:31.8…

Thanks for turning out everyone. I have a new respect for oval racing after last week. It is a lot harder than I thought, and car tuning is equally challenging.

There were very few setups shared at the top of the leaderboard, so it was unsurprising that StarlaXdior’s setup for the Ford Autotrader Fusion was used by most people.

More than half of our drivers gained top 100 positions on a leaderboard of almost 6000, which is an excellent result.

We did expect wheel users to have had a slight advantage over controller users on this track, but it appears to have been insignificant.

The final leaderboard:

Congratulations to our podium drivers!

1st place: minsons
2nd place: razzitGT
3rd place: Coopracing

Thanks again to you all for accepting our challenges over the last 30 weeks.

As I said last week, we’ll let you know if we decide to start a season 5 before FM8 launches.

Let’s hope we hear something soon from Turn 10 about the next game, and good effort at Bathurst in the Tankpool Mr P LOL.

Been off of Forza a long time. I was wondering if these were still going. Nice to see they are.

Just wondering if you’re going to have a season 5? Don’t look like the new Forza is coming any time soon.

+1 from Team SithSpeed!

Yep

If any of you are looking for some HLC’s. I’m taking part in two Facebook groups that do HLC’s. They are (Forza Hot Lap Private group) and (RedMystRacing Private group)
