Hot Hatch Challenge - Final Results Posted!

Hot Hatch Challenge

The Hot Hatch Challenge is my first attempt at throwing together a comp.

The format is as follows –

The challenge will run for four weeks. Each week I will choose a new combination of track and car. At the end of each week (Sunday at 5pm PST) the results for the chosen track and car will be tallied and a new track and car will be chosen. At the end of the four weeks all times and points will be combined to determine the winner. There’s a catch though, for two of the chosen four combinations the scoring (which depends on how many players participate) will be reversed. That’s right, the slower times will get the higher point values, should be interesting… If this sounds a little confusing don’t worry, all you have to do is race, I’ll figure out the points and overall scoring.

To participate all you have to do is grab the tune from my storefront for the chosen car of the week. All participants must use the tune provided. As for paints, that’s up to you (have fun). You must participate in all four events to be considered for prizes also the scoring will not work if someone misses an event. Save replays as Hot Hatch 1 for week one. For week two it would be Hot Hatch 2 and so on.

Prizes are as follows –

Overall –

1st place – 100 million
2nd place – 50 million
3rd Place – 25 million

Mystery Driver Prize –

10 million

One driver will be chosen by me to be the Mystery Driver at the end of the first event. At the end of the comp anyone who has beat the Mystery Driver’s combined time and points will be awarded 10 million credits. The Mystery Driver’s identity will be revealed after all points have been tallied for the entire event.

The first track and car combo is –

Track - Road Atlanta Club Circuit
Car – 2009 Ford Focus RS

The Second track and car combo is -

Track - Iberian Short Reverse Circuit
Car - 2010 Renault Megane RS 250

The Third track and car combo is -

Track - Camino Viejo Short Circuit
Car - 2010 SEAT Leon Cupra R

The Fourth track and car combo is -

Track - Hockenheimring Short Circuit
Car - 2009 VW Scirocco GT

There is a photo comp as well, so throw up some pics to be considered for prizes. The photo comp will run throughout the entire event and winners will be chosen at the end.

Photo comp prizes are as follows –

1st place – 50 million
2nd place – 30 million
3rd place – 20 million
HM - 10 million

Thanks for joining in and have fun!

Ok, first attempt at this challenge yielded a lap time of 1:03.203 on lap3. Really enjoying your choice of track, car and provided tune, Jazzy =)

Saved my replay as HOT HATCH 1

Happy racing!!

=)

Great tune, Jazzy !! Ran a handful of laps and came out with a PB of 1:03.174 - lap 7 - replay up - labeled ‘hot hatch 1’

A few shots - did this paint last year, I think

Very eager to see the other 3 car choices ;]

Nice time CC, is that perhaps a MikeyUK design I see on that Ford!? Have one in my garage too!

Nice run Kool, edging CC, slightly, out of the gates. Great design, really like that one!

Time update - 1:02.278 - lap4 - PB on LB - replay on SF

Seriously, Fun Stuff!!

=)

Yup, a Mikey UK original =)

1:01.764 - lap 5 - Replay on storefront - nice tune

Update - Decided to see if Tanner could get a faster lap ;] He did ;] 1:02.534

Couple turns I need to learn how to hit more consistently and I know I can get Tanner to improve ;] I ain’t done yet ;]

Just about to give it a run out now , sounds like you have done a good job with the car Jazzy .

Nice tune Jazzy . I managed a 1:03:254 . Will upliad replay later on tonight . Hope to get a better time b4 round two though.

I’m in. Make 1:00,889. Lap 4, replay on my SF. Really good tune!

Good times rolling in, keep it up!
Thanks for the props on the tune, it’s a good little car. And thanks for all pics so far, there are some great designs out there!

Happy racing!!

Great car! One of my favs in the game! I will post a time later but for now here is a pic. hot hatch 1

Maybe it’s too early in the morning - trying to run some laps before taking the kids to school - or my unrealistic goal of staying on CCs heels - but has anyone else felt the extreme frustration of just knowing you are running just as good as your fast lap BUT somehow that dang ghost car is ahead of you and pulling away somehow !!!??? Guess I don’t have the patience this morning :triumph:
