Introducing the First NeoGAF Rivals Challenge!


The event: The Senna Special Rival Challenge
Time Frame: Starting now and going until Sunday at Midnight EST.
The Prizes: Jube has been awesome enough to guarantee DLC Codes to the top 3 finishers.

That's it kids! Get out there and kick some ass. Only times set between now and Sunday at Midnight EST will count, so those who already set fast times might have their work cut out for them. Good luck!

cool, do you have to be in the club? If so, I'd like to be in the club..

That's no doubt awesome for those that got them Jube, but is there any word yet about the pre-order FM4-liveried bonus cars? The silence is deafening from Turn 10 on this topic. Some kind of acknowledgement would at least be a start. Quite a few people are more than bemused about what is going on. Thanks man.

They're looking into the problem..

Such a cool car. I was never a fan, but after running around with it for a bit I am starting to be a convert.

Sexy bitch!
God how I wish drag racing was implemented properly in the game. So many of these classic US cars are screaming for some fat ass Tubs and front cheese-cutters, shortened diffs and ladder bar suspension, blowers and wheelie bars.

....and no Mk1 Escort hurts hard. Need more British icons.

I wouldn't think so, but better wait for Shortt to give the official answer.

Btw, I'm sending you a friends request so I can keep track of your times ;)

P3tran, the tune you put on that Viper is amazing! Saw that you put it up on your Storefront, how about a GAF discount on that 50K asking price! :p

Finally took the leap and turned off ABS and, no joke, I was putting in laps 1.5~2 seconds quicker on my second lap and I didn't even have my tires up to temp!

Guess I was right. I needed to step up to some quicker cars. The AI in this game is still terrible and the short races really aren't conducive to anything but bumper cars for the first three turns to get with in one or two spots of lead in my experience through 9 seasons.

Thanks h3ro.

Eventhough I didnt think 50k is much (you just take on a rival and insta-win 150k with this car)
I will put it up for free so everybody who wants one can download.
And to the one guy that I know bought it from here (mascot?), I will reimburse by giving another car/tune.
I still wanna finish the career, and then I will start pumping out some good tunes for various classes ;)

Yea we're looking into why some people did not get their cars but we will be getting them to you guys.

Other cars have priority atm. There is a tiny chance but the reality tends for it to be rather in FM5 than FM4 DLC.
As if next gen wasn't enough to get on FM5's hype train ! :lol

FM5 better be next gen.

Who's doing FM5 OT and when will it be up.....?

Seriously though, all signs point to FM5 for Xbox Loop or whatever it's called. I suspect by that time, Dan's beard would've reached Gandalf proportions...

Fuck I'm now picturing Dan telling us about FM5 the way Gandalf talks to Pippin (?) just before the troll enters the city in Return of the king. :lol

That NSX is terrible. The rear breaks loose just about everywhere and the curbs will send it spinning.

I agree, it just doesn't feel right to me. It feels like it's got bald tyres or something.

Anyone using microsoft's wireless racing wheel for this game?

Is it possible to be excellent with it?

Any tips for settings/tweaks? I'm thinking about picking up F4 at the b2g1 free Target sale.

no?

Man with BF3 for Ps3 on Monday and UC3 on tuesday as long as the first DLC for Forza 4 is going to be great.

I'm glad it's a holiday on Tuesday in here, because it's going to be a busy day, can't wait to my Season Pass start to paying off.

Is there other word about other types of DLC's coming in November? Tracks?

And about those pre-orders incentives, that we had to sent our recipes and our Gamer Tag, etc. People needed to have Forza 3 in order to work? Because I sent the email with all info and recipe but because I don't have Forza 3 am I never going to get the cars for Forza 4? =/

Haha, just as I set a new best time for the Senna Special and finish the race...the servers are unavailable...

Edit: And now they are back up...of course the time didn't get saved...well well, back to the track.
 

nagge

Member
Now I finished the race as soon as I set a new best time, so at least I have something to show for my efforts in case the servers decide to act up again.

Its not a general server problem, its just we arranged with jube that your laptimes will never be registered ;p

Thanks p3tran but I was glad to pay it. You worked hard on that tune and paint job and it's only right that get reimbursed for your efforts.

:D

Thanks for the quick reply!!! Well I will always play Forza for the awesome car selection- and knowing that you guys already have it in mind is a relief-

Can anyone say next gen Mclaren F1 LM!? :)

Brilliant - thanks Jube..!

Now, these free-to-GAF November Speed Pack DLC codes you mentioned... was that a one-hit thang or will any other GAFfers find that Xmas came early..?
 
Is the November pack out already? How are people posting pics? I bought the season pass, where's my '57 chev? :)

Also, I'm planning to finalise a tune to share a car to the club. Have we finalized/discussed what the rules were for sharing cars? As in, can we share willy-nilly still or does it have to fulfill a purpose?

Jube gave early codes to some people. ;)

I was quite surprise by one of the Dodge front bumper available for the Charger. :lol

Yeah, I still haven't got any of those cars or the Unicorn from Racing with the Devs. I do feel bad for you guys because I am SURE you are getting destroyed with PMs and emails about them.

Also would like to know if you have to be in the GAF club to participate in this rivals thing?

I'm surprised to hear people say the NSX handles poorly, I've already done that rivals event and was actually surprised at how well it handled. I thought it was fun to drive. Maybe you aren't used to the fact that it's mid engine? It's a little different compared to a Front engine rear wheel drive car.

Edit: Guess it doesn't matter, lol. I just saw the rankings, I'm no competition for you guys. Not gonna be in the top 3, lol.

It is essentially open to any Gaffer, however I would like them to be in the club if possible to make it easier to keep track of times and such. If you want to be in the club (and we still have some spaces), PM me your GamerTag and I will add you.

Truth man. The "Cops and Robbers" crowd will LOVE the new front bumper option on that Charger.

I think we should post photo proof here, that way everyone can participate. I mean it doesn't affect me, I have no chance of getting top three but just saying

The full Leaderboards online will show the times and when they were set. If you aren't in the club, just PM me your GamerTag so I can add your times to the list. I want this to be as open and fair as possible and I think that is the best course of action.

That's cool. It was just a suggestion.

Dang the Viper ACR can move!

Just built me a S700 and within three laps I had beaten my old RWD R8 time at the alps, and no more than a basic tune, this will be a keeper, I can feel it :)

Can gaffers who aren't in gaf club compete too?

Gamertag yoritomo79. And It looks like I need to set a faster time this weekend :) to be in the running.

I'm at 2:24.254 at 143 on the leaderboard. That's after about 20 laps total. Can't wait to beat some more guys times.
 
It seems like most people who play virus (tag) can't drive worth a crap. Players either go the wrong way or just completely suck at taking corners. Lots of screeching and hitting walls around the turns.

Your time is not done in the timeframe of the competition.

Yes, as stated above, all times must be completed from 11:30 EST last night until Midnight EST on Sunday. Any times set outside of that time frame are not valid.

Can't wait to try out the Aventador. Looks like a beast.

Dude, turning it RWD and giving it some slight tuning makes it a freakin BEAST of an S Class car.

PS: You get your Unicorn from the Race yet?
