Sunset Fox - Closed

New challenge using the same Fox tune from the lazy Fox challenge . Thought i would use the Fox again to make better use of Kool’s cool livery he made for the last challenge . The course this time around is Sunset Full , the time to beat is 2:02:441 .


Kool’s cool livery

50 M for anyone who beats the time

Usual T n C’s apply , clean laps , replay , etc etc

I will run the challenge until this time next month ( 16 / 06 / 16 ) or until all interest dies

The car handles nicely round the course , i didnt leave too much on the track , maybe a tenth or so , hope you enjoy the challenge :slight_smile:

First shot at Sunset
Laptime : 2:01.369 on Lap 9 - PB (i had none before) :wink: - Replay up on store

Had a fair idea it wouldnt take you long to beat the time , MBD ! ! !

Not sure how you do it, V ??!! But mark me down with my skill level time of 2:04.928

I think I found a few of those 10ths, Voldemortt with a 2:02.116 on lap #3 after 2 other 5 lap tries.
I will post the replay shortly.

I used a “Beetle Bailey” Livery.

going to try for a 2:01.lap later.
Great Tune and build!

I watched the “MBD Titus72” Replay to see what gears he used.

Wise men watch replays :wink: Best way to become faster, from my point of view
You can even use a higher gear in some turns, Tomcat, maybe 6th in 2nd last corner for example
I recommend shifting below 6000 rpm, at 5700 or 5800 - good luck

Time for me to wise up =) I’m sooo ready to go FASTER =)

Well my skill level will take me only so far, BUT after watching MBDs replay - I did knock a second off my original time ;] 2:03.919 Thanks, Titus ;]

Way to go Kool. You don’t have to brake much either.

Well I got my 2:01 lap with a 2:01.815 on the 2nd lap and blew the 3rd lap 0n the last 2 corners as I was at least a 10th faster .
Replay is up.

With pleasure bud, no need to thank ! :wink:
Probably you still knew that you can look in the telemetry while watching a replay so you can see where to go flat out, to break or to lift only
Thanks for the shopping tour by the way - AH seems to be dead

Well done EZT , nice time , will check replays myself , try and see where i can pick up some time myself . Keep at it Kool , the time should drop after a few more tries .

ok, THIS IS IT FOR TODAY
2:01.554 ON 4TH LAP.
Replay is up.

2:02.214 - lap 5
PB on the leaderboard :slight_smile:

Well done Wan , thanx for trying out the challenge :slight_smile:

Had a quick blast (slowly it felt :slight_smile: ) round Sunset tonight, managed a 2.09.xxx clean and a 2.04.xxx dirty and that was a really small off so I reckon I can do better, maybe even catch that time :slight_smile:

Im sure you will get there soon enough Jive . Try running the car with traction control off , the car doesnt have excessive torque so it will be good practice for you .

Yeah I noticed after I stopped and checked the LB that I had TC and ST switched on, will try again with it off :slight_smile:

I’ve taken a couple runs at this one now, I started with a 2:02.8xx then down to 2:02.271 on the fifth lap of posted replay. But now that I have Kool’s livery, I’m sure I can get myself into the 2:01s :slight_smile: Thank you for sharing Kool, and thank you for posting it Voldemortt!

Still a great tune Voldemortt, I think it might be even better suited here :slight_smile:

Thank you for the challenge!

Cheers URDA and well done on beating the time . As i said to Tomcat , it seems to suit quite a few tracks , a wee bit more grunt would have helped it but it was the short twisty tracks i wanted to run it on initially ( Maple Valley for example ) .

Set a new PB V … 2.02.196 didn’t post the replay it was in the teens on laps … I do have it but it’s a lot of laps
