I've been pulling my hair out with the Diablo GTR trying to keep it in S class but trying to find a way to get the sport gearbox in it so i can adjust the final drive. there is so much gear left at the end of even the longest straights but any upgrade puts it to 702...i tried finding even the heaviest rim to add some weight but can only get it to 701 at the lowest with that one single upgrade.

the problems this game causes.....
After installing the heavy rims, enlarge the rim sizes, too. That should probably get you down to S700.

You can also look at adding a roll cage, which may or may not reduce PI. Anti-roll bars have reduced PI in a few instances, I think. Aero kits can also do free up a few PI.

I'm pretty sure this should be doable. I'd check myself, but cant get on at the moment.

CSR Elite production has started

I sure as hell won't even consider ordering one of these before Turn 10 fixes the game, though.
Were you not vehemently disagreeing with me when I said that people shouldn't Boyer getting a wheel fr this game until there is a fix? :)

I just want to conduct a poll here. I am curious who has done the following:

* Bought the Season Pass
* Bought/Won the November DLC Pack but not the Season Pass
* Just bought a few cars from the November Pack (which cars)
* Will buy any of the next DLC packs or any after the SP is up
* Will buy any Track Packs


ThundR
Bought the Season Pass
Not sure about packs after SP
Will buy any Track Packs -IF they can be used in Single player races.

I'm actually starting to regret buying the SP actually. Because when it comes down to it I'm not really getting anything. I'm getting the opportunity to buy a car should I get enough cash. I can't complain that much since the game gives out cars/money fairly easily but I still feel as though I'm going to buy a car I like then won't be able to use it in Career or anywhere else (either because wrong class or it's a slow car IN that class). Maybe if we got a couple of tokens with every car pack I'd feel better.

Was I? Could be. I don't remember but then again, I don't remember what I had for breakfast so...

Well I had tons of fun with the game nonetheless, but playing at 270° to work around the No Rewards bug, I feel I'm not using my wheel like it's meant to be used.

Also, guys like you who mentioned other issues with the wheel raised an alarm. I watched replays of #1 guys on a few tracks - all pad users of course - and I swear you can pull stuff with a controller that there is no way in hell you can accomplish with a wheel. It's like it's not even using the same physics engine or something.

It could be that I just suck, though. (Before one of you bastards suggests it)

Ok, time for me to try out this challenge. Let's see if I can't get that number one spot...


lol, nope. Not even close. I don't have a damn clue with what I'm doing with all the assists on.
 
Because I am a Stats and Numbers Nerd...

Of those who responded:

56% Have bought the Season Pass
15% Will NOT buy any future Car DLC
6% Will NOT buy any future Track DLC

Yea, that was fun. Definitely need to build more cars, though. Haven't got anything that good for the tracks with long straights.

The 355 is just the stock motor with some power upgrades. Sounds fantastic, as a Ferrari should.

I'm working on a F430, but there's so little room for improvement for it in A-class that its hard to get it right.

I'm gonna check out the 92 NSX and Shelby Series 1, though. Looked pretty competitive. In your hands at least!


Yea, messing around with brake pressure, and a bit of gear ratios is how I was able to keep control of that monster. Took a minute to get the hang of it. That's what allowed me to brake so deeply in the turns on Silverstone with little to no penalty.

Edit: I've got something in the kitchen cooking in regards to an Opel Speedster. >:) It's already performing on par with the Shelby.

With assists on my lap times get worse lap by lap, negative improvement how does it work? LOL I don't know how you guys broke 1:44 with assisted steering/braking on

Well, after you put the braking pressure at zero, the car can't brake.....so I used the e-brake instead...so basically I cheated.

This is why we can't have nice things. I disqualify myself.

You drive better with the computer holding your hand than without any assists. :)

I'll be on in a minute. Decided to stay up to go to the midnight Skyrim launch. Need to kill time somehow. I just finished a fantastic book and wanted to stew in the fantastic ending for a while, but time is just going sooooo slow!

Edit: I am actually a little surprised by how many of you bought and are buying the DLC packs. I know T10 and other developers get a lot of shit for their DLC model.

I love cars, that's why I pay. (It's also why I miss Porsche)

Some people play World of Warcraft or get hardcore into Call of Duty...well, Forza is really the only game I've ever gotten into with any level of serious dedication.

Managed to get into a Game with Dev game tonight. Keep the It--never played that game type before and had NO CLUE what I was doing. Oops!

Did a few more laps tonight, got a new time for the challenge

00:01:45.229

I don't think sub 1:44's are in my future. Might be able to eek out a bit more, but not enough to claim 3rd on that most recent list. I'll save myself the frustration, lol. Oh well, higher than I thought I'd place.

Looking at the online leaderboards...skyfinch is going to hate me, haha.

That's for you, friend. The blood has been spilled. And I know I have a 00:56:xxx coming as well (it was sort of sloppy).

I'm going to go put a down payment on a Ferarri with my newfound wealth.

I refuse to put a better lap until you beat that time. Afterwards, I'll take the money from the next winnings and fully purchase my Ferrari.

LOL, a hundredth of a second is ridiculous. The temptation was too much, I played around with my setup a bit so I could add some hp, but I had to add weight to keep it in C class and it actually feels slower, but I busted out a better time. It's probably a combination of things, I'm tempted to go back and see if I can't get into the 1:43's. I'll probably go insane, I'm so inconsistent on that last turn. :/


1:44.063, come at me bros

Yikes. I can't get anything under 1:45. Last turn confuses me.

Yeah, it's weird. I get better times by going what seems like too fast through it. It's either that, or I slow down too much. I just suck at slowing down with the ebrake, that's the only place I use it, lol.


Went back to my old tune for that car. 01:44.042. Though, I'm pretty sure it's just me driving a bit better.


I'm done for tonight, I have to be at work in just over 5 hours, lol.

Is the sesto elemento worth the monies, or should i save the 2.5 mill and spend it on a whole bunch of average cars. Is it competitive or just eye candy?

Yea, fucker just shaved me by .200 on Suzuka. So now I have to go back to the drawing board and put up a .56 with no clutch. This ought to be...challenging. May have to wait until Monday, however. 'Cause Saint's Row has my attention right now.
