So, I was in a group chat that Rapier created and while doing a Time Trial and I thought, why not send a share picture with my best time to them? But then I thought bigger and resolved to challenge all of you!

So here's the deal, you have 24h to beat my time in these conditions (bonus cookie if get under 1min):

Car: Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG
Track: BHR 01, Scotland
Time of Day: 17:00
Time Lapse: x15
Crowd Size: Large
Weather: Stormy
Description: Use the little sunlight you have to memorize the track and remmeber, the night is dark and full of curbs.

The person with the lowest time gets his/her name on the GAF Hall of Fame and the right to issue another 24h challenge!

You are encouraged to post before and after pics of your car after a session:

How to:

Just go to Single Event mode and select Time Trial and edit Event Settings with those above!

Use the share button and get racing! And use the hashtag #cantstopthecommunity and tweet pics and challenges to @Rushy33 (Thanks le-seb!)

Spoiler

Feel free to try beating my original 458 challenge http://i.imgur.com/bBxSJDj.jpg

And you didn't have to douche this thread up at all, yet here you are.

#YouwouldnthavetodothisifSonygottheirshittogetherinthefirstplace

True, but since we that shit isn't sorted yet and the game invites this kind of interactions, why not bypass that entirely? And it's not that different of Destiny Raid and Weekly threads.

 

[The Last Wizard]

You ingenious bastard, I'll try my hand at some over the weekend.

 

[Gaz_RB]

I'm in. Trying right now!

 

[kriskrosbbk]

Good stuff.

 

[Psychoward]

Well I realized I suck, can't get under 1:16 for the life of me.

 

[patchday]

Too bad I'm still driving noob sticks (beginner cars)

 

[Konosuke]

Too bad I'm still driving noob sticks (beginner cars)

Yeah, I forgot the 458 only unlocks at lvl 24. I'm setting a time with the Mercedes A 45 AMG and will update shortly.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Old school, I used to make Gran Turismo time attack and all game record breaker threads when we had to take shady low end digital pictures. It'll be interesting to see how many people participate, and who is the monster of Drive Club without having to find them in game.

 

[Stillmatic]

A challenge thread? I like it.

Looks like I've got some leveling up to do!

 

[Gaz_RB]

Damn, I can't get below 1:13. You're a goon OP.

 

[Konosuke]

Okay, new time and car. I think this one unlocks early so more people can join in. You're still free to beat my 458 challenge, but only this counts as of now.

I even caught a bug lol:

1:20.290

GO GO GO

 

[Gaz_RB]

Nvm!

 

[Hoje0308]

Nvm!

The time for the 458 is still 1.12

Edit: Okay then

 

[bananafactory]

This is a brilliant idea. Well done!

 

[vwluke]

God dammit very impressive time I am struggling to get under my best time of 1.24.184

 

[Saganator]

God dammit very impressive time I am struggling to get under my best time of 1.24.184

Yeah, my best time is 1.22 and that was after a bit of practice. Wish I could see the ghost.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Yeah I need the ghost too. OP you're too good, no one can beat you!

 

[Aspiring]

As you know took me forever haha. Great time to start with.

EDIT: replaced my time of 1.20.198 To this. I still feel I can beat this to high 1.18's. As you can see from my second sector.

And sorry I forgot to take a photo of the car after : (

 

[Nafai1123]

Damn Aspiring you got me beat. Here's my best time.

 

[BloodMoney]

I challenge GAF to get my game connected to the servers.

 

[Aspiring]

Haha wow. Only just. Great time!

Looks like I am really going to have to keep at it.

For those struggling the idea that works for me is to never brake except for last turn. Turn one and turn three, the two S bend corners, just release the throttle and don't go too high on ripple strip, and half throttle out so no wheel spin, and the others attack them hard and fast.

Going to try for 1.18's before I lose haha.

 

[Aspiring]

This one is on behalf of rapier in the Ferrari 458:

Good time!

And again rapier in the AMG:

Wow. I think I am out with that time!

 

[bananafactory]

Man you guys are insane. I've tried like 50 times and the best I got is 1:23 =\

 

[Number45]

I'll be down for this when I've had more time with the game. My absolute favourite memories of any racer were timed laps in Burnout 2 on the Gamecube - posting my times to a forum for others to beat. ^_^

My man!

With Burnout 2 I used to send text messages to my buddies with my new best time.

Will have a try at the AMG challenge this weekend!

 

[Foshy]

great idea! Getting on it now

 

[Konosuke]

Rapier has got me beat. This is my current best.

There's still quite a bit of room for improvement in the second sector, lol

 

[R&R]

1.18.169

Plenty of room for improvement, I think we are gonna see some 1.16 times...at least.

EDIT: Improvement =) 1.17.684

 

[Konosuke]

Aww man, I just did a 1:18.033...Sector 2 is killing me again.

 

[gl0w]

will try this as soon as I get home

 

[Foshy]

EDIT: Improvement =) 1.17.684

Nice. I'll try again later today.

 

[travisbickle]

Man, the ease of which we can do this once the servers are up!

I'd take part now, but I'm away from my flat for the weekend.

 

[R&R]

Nice. I'll try again later today.

Thanks. BTW, I have the connection back now - somebody invite me to a club...

EDIT: Improvement =) 1.17.684

Whoa, that's a mighty lap time. If you shave time on the first sector I think you can do 1:16's

 

[the_batman]

good idea, i'll try this later. i doubt i'll get anywhere near your guys' times though.

 

[Number45]

Man, the ease of which we can do this once the servers are up!

I actually quite like it this way though, builds a community around it.

 

[Shaneus]

Subbed. Will do this tomorrow morning after I've had some sleep

 

[Greg]

edit: whoops

 

[red731]

Man, Konosuke.

I suck but went to 1:26.518 while obtaining the Rack Em Sack Em trophy by beating my time each round! Also received Long distance trophy due to this challenge!

Now to get better even more....

Thanks!

 

[gl0w]

I think I will not be able to do better than this :\

 

[Konosuke]

Man, Konosuke.

I suck but went to 1:26.518 while obtaining the Rack Em Sack Em trophy by beating my time each round! Also received Long distance trophy due to this challenge!

Now to get better even more....

Thanks!

Yup, that's a neat side effect haha, I also got the Rack 'em Up, Knock 'em Down trophy. And it's a good way to "farm" Fame, I had earned around 90k fame during my last run.

 

[GTR R35_Supra RZ]

Much room left for 1:16. Dat mid Chicane dou.

Will post later.

 

[le-seb]

Man, Konosuke.

Exact same thing happened to me! lol

My personal best time is 1:20.287 after a dozen laps (beating Konosuke's initial lap time by 3 thousandths, yay! ).
I'm pretty sure I'm messing big time in the last hairpin, but I can't fathom how you guys can lap that fast....

 

[Moozo]

Felt like I've got a 1.16 in there, scrappy first sector on that one.

 

[jayu26]

This is great idea Konosuke.

 

[Nafai1123]

Jesus, you guys are getting into the 1:17's!? Impossibru!

Those high speed S's are a pain the ass.
