Josef Newgarden Rivals.

So this is yet another broken piece of this “Ultimate, Everything we expected” Forza game?

Nothing broken from what I can tell. Just because he hasn’t posted a time doesn’t mean its broken.

According to Johniwanna from today’s Mixer/Twitch stream, Josef has not yet set a time.

Until he sets his virtual time, you can compare your times against the qualification results from this year’s Indycar Kohler Grand Prix
Below is the pole time, Josef’s time and the slowest qualifier’s time. Full results can be found here…

01 - Helio Castroneves - 01:41.3007
03 - Josef Newgarden - 01:41.6608
21 - Conor Daly - 01:44.1579

I’m hoping Josef isn’t as quick in Forza as he is in Indycar.

Here are a couple of visor cams from Tony Kanaan and James Hinchcliffe.

I wouldn’t hold your breath… I’m certain that this will be one of the most difficult Bounty Hunters. Josef made mention in Saturday’s stream that he had several number 1s in Forza Motorsport 2. This isn’t just some celebrity or race car driver, he’s been around Forza for a while.

Well I hope he goes Hardcore like a real Driver…LOL. My lap is no assist… I always thought these should elimate the use of assist… Then everyone is equal.

eliminate to your preference? you can turn it on, thus all are already equal.
Forza will never be that type of sim.

And no boards were ever as packed as FM2’s.

Those boards were stacked!

If that’s the case, I might as well just stop now since I can’t seem to break under 1:48 no matter how hard I try. I’ve gotten slower at my old age, and I already was slow to begin with.

Practice, practice, practice.

I cant imagine how slow I am now.

So, what’s the prize?

nothing has been stated yet
usually it is a car of some sort though

Huh, didn’t the devs say they got rid of these unicorn cars?

Anyone know if he has set a time yet?

I’d guess a car and/or driver gear. Maybe something Indycar or Newgarden specific.

Didn’t see that he posted a time last night. Johniwanna mentioned that this contest would be for the entire month. Maybe Mechberg will give us the full details in this Friday’s Week in Review article.

Anyone checked to see if he has a road America time posted in the free play yet?

Doesn’t look like he has even played it yet

Maybe he can’t get the game to load on his computer like many others have complained about?
