The Un-official "Let's Chase Blooze" Hotlap Challenge

[larryCR]

Nice job there, Spiny! You certainly gave everyone on my friend's list a serious whipping!

[Blooze]

Oh, I've been fairly certain you, and about everyone else, were going to hop right over me from the beginning.

Good Job

Thanks guys, although I have a feeling both of you could make some big improvements if you were so inclined. Blooze - if the Audi really is that much faster than the other cars as claimed by most people (although you do have some good times in the Volvo), then I think you could make up time just by switching cars, maybe more than you think. Larry - I think you could make up some serious time on some of the tracks which I'd guess hold less interest for you. As I ran through, I noticed that on some tracks you were in the top 1 or 2, then others you were sat middle of the pack. If I had to guess,  I would say you have the ability to be in the ballpark of a 1hr 9 minutes time...

Thanks for the encouragement. And the optimism.

When I get a chance to sit down for some hotlapping I'm frequently in a rush. So my initial goal is "beat thyself". That's what you're seeing with some of those mediocre times. I'll get back to R4 someday and see if I can't nudge back up the friends board a bit.

I'm actually kind of glad that I have lots of times that can be improved. If I had already peaked everywhere I wouldn't have anything to do until F3 arrives. Fortunately I am a long ways from having that problem. What I don't have is enough time.

Just noticed (although this is hardly chasing Blooze anymore) that I sneaked past TJN and Larry in D Class when nobody was looking That 2000GT is certainly proving handy on the flowing tracks...

As if I didn't already have enough stuff on my Forza todo list...

Those darn things just keep growing and growing don't they?

Still fighting over here to hang in the 70 region.  Everytime i pass someone i get passed by 2 more guys, argh.  I take off 20 seconds though and i could move to 67th i think. 

My weakpoints: The snake tracks, Nurburgring, R1 and U-Class.

I see that Blooze has now left me in the dust on both the Hotlap and Exhibition scoreboards. I guess I know what I'll be doing this fall while waiting for The Next Big Thing.

[Spiny Anteater]

Beating my times into the dust by the looks of things... you seem to be shooting up every scoreboard I see at the moment.

Good work!

Hope you didn't choke on too much dust as you flew past me, lol.

I've seen this mentioned somewhere else, but I will bring it up here as well.

It sure is cool to look at these various scoreboards and see how many folks from this Forum (my Friend's List) are in the higher eschelons position wise.

For instance, we have 5 guys in the top 50 in the Exhibition overall.

We also have 5 guys in the top 100 of the Career overall.

We've got 11 guys in the top 1000 of Hotlap - 7 of 'em are in the top 500.

And there are other guys that are working on their rankings and improving.

I am proud to be associated with a bunch like this.

Anyways... I got to lookin' around for some low hangin' fruit and have decided that it might be good for me to spend some time in S Class.  I should be able to improve my overall in all 4 disciplines by bringing my S Class times into the neighborhood of my 95% goal.  Looking through the various S Class garages I see that none of my S Cars have received the lastest version of my tooning regimine.

So, it is off to S Class for a while...
