R3 R8 LMS Ring challenge

As mentioned in a previous thread , here is my new R8 LMS challenge . This time there are two stages to try your driving skills out on . There is one tune for both stages ( Ring stages A and C ) The times to beat are . . .

Ring stage A 1:50:316 ( I have gone faster but this was my fastest clean lap of my session ) 1160th on leaderboard out of 476,000

Ring stage C 2:05:566 good for 623rd on leaderboard out of 766,000

The tune is on my SF now for free

Have fun and let me know how it goes

I wanna mention a previous comp i held b4 . It was Fuji stage B reverse , the car was the Lotus Elise . I originally set a time of 2:42:xxx to be beaten . Quite a few guys beat it and 5 were able to post top 100 times with the tune ( which is still on my SF now ) . If anyone wants to try and beat my time using the tune , feel fee , i will give out 10 M and a car of their choice ( non DLC ) to anyone who beats my time

Finally got round to setting some times.

Audi stage A - 1:53.041

Audi stage B - 2:09.333

Elise - 2:49.399

All pb’s. Nice tunes.
Thanks

Did two runs on each layout. Here’s what I got:

Nurb Stage A: 1:45.865 - Would’ve been 258th if I didn’t already have 6th in my Joss.

Nurb Stage C: 2:01.638 - Landed me 208th.

Fujimi Stage B - Reverse: 2:35.389 - Landed me 17th.

The Audi was honestly a bit difficult to drive. It oversteered on entry, especially on the brakes, but then it would understeer off the track out of slow exits, so I was losing a ton of time there. The Lotus build isn’t correct for Fujimi either (I think the B class grip build has no power upgrades), so you might be able to get a bit more time out of it by changing it. Not bad overall, though!

Hey dude, nice tune. I’m quite a newb when it comes to Forza and struggle without a lot of the assists, so I couldn’t get near your time (1:58.317) on Nurb A, but I did create my own version of the tune and managed to wipe off about a second and a half on my second run due to a couple of extra ponies under the hood. I ended up with a 1:56.633. I’ll upload it to my storefront, check it out and see what you think :slight_smile:

I shall have a look during the week mate and give it a run out . To try and reduce your timing ,try running without the assisits one at a time . It took me AGES to be able to drive without most of the assists , i only use traction control now and im trying to get to grips with that right now , so stick at it and you will get there .

More horsepower would benefit this car, as well as minimal aero. Stage A is mostly a speed layout.

Thanx for the feedback on the Audi tune , Bulin . Its always handy when a fast driver gives feedback on tunes cause they can get the car at its limits and thats where the you find problems with tunes .

Cheers man, I’ve got some pretty fast times even with the assists on, so it’s something I want to try and be able to do. Gonna have a go at Nurb C in a bit with your tune.

Make sure you do NOT use assisted braking or steering… It slows you down much more than it should, and even a sloppy lap with those assists off will be full seconds faster than a perfect lap with them on. I found that the two most worthwhile assists to learn to drive without are ABS and STM, with manual w/ clutch being just slightly behind those two.

I had a go at trying to fix the faults you mentioned Bulin . I have managed to get my times down into the low 1:49’s , even managed a 1:48:897 , so i reckon its improved , its more stable ( at my limits ) . I will upload it later today if anyone fancies trying it .

Steevvoo , i tried your tune , wasn’t bad at all ( i could get a 1:49:843 ) out of it

I will give it a try tommorow, and see if i can improve my time.

Sorry Wan , i never got uploading it today , i got distracted wit another tune i was working on earlier . I shall def upload it tomorrow though .

OK, no probs. Tried your old tune again on stage A, managed to get in the 1:51’s.

Are you still giving the prizes for this?

Yeah , bigfoot , if you beat the time and have a replay for verification or its on the leaderboard , you can have 10 M and a car of your choice mate .

Ok I’ll see what I can do. Thanks for the update. I can not save replays, my save file is corrupt. But I just got FM4 so I don’t have any times set, so anything I set will be up on the LB’s.

No worries Bigfoot , i will accept your PB as proof - as long as you use the tune , everythings fine by me .

I will, I’m going to get it after work tonight when I get home. Should I let you know in here or PM you on Xbox Live when I’m done?

Just to clarify, I’m going to try all three. Just the Lotus challenge is the bounty, right?

No , all the challenges i have posted on the tuners page are for 10 M . Have a look on the main page for my previous challenges . Feel free to enter as many as you like and post your times . You can post your times on this page and i shall keep an eye on the thread for your times .

Ok thanks for clarifing, I will have a look at all your posts and see where I stack up it the grand skeem of things.
