Default Forza 2 - free car + 30mil giveaway #8

The regular ESC guys should now have had this little beauty gifted to them...

S998 ScoobyClinic 22B


It's a short track monster and capable of some fantastic times!

Now for the challenge:-

A night of 22B action on 5 specially selected tracks, 2 races on each track doing 5 laps, the winner of the 1st race has to ditch the weight reduction for the next race, taking the PI down to S931 (just for fun). Hopefully, this car should set you some new PB's.

So, the tracks:-

1st Tsukuba, so far the ESC times are as follows:-

Boro @ 51.630
wrxdazza @ 52.825
RB5 286 @ 53.978
p1 342 @ 54.125
BRI4N ESC @ 54.545
ScoobyBudge @ 54.607
Milamber ESC @ 55.572

2nd Tsukuba Short

Boro 39.300
wrxdazza @ 40.299
p1 342 @ 41.778
BRI4N ESC @ 41.837
Milamber ESC @ 42.155
ScoobyBudge @ 42.713
RB5 286 @ 43.060

3rd Test Track - Malayan Krait

Boro 1:46.934
BRI4N ESC @ 1:47.108
p1 342 @ 1:52.490
RB5 286 @ 1:53.398
wrx dazza - no time
ScoobyBudge - no time

4th Test Track - Russels Viper

Boro @ 35.539
RB5 286 @ 42.356
Milamber ESC @ 42.651
wrxdazza @ 42.694
p1 342 - no time
ScoobyBudge - no time

5th Mazda Laguna Seca

Boro @ 1:21.276
p1 342 @ 1:23.586
Milamber ESC @ 1:23.973
wrxdazza @ 1:24.685
ScoobyBudge @ 1:25.568
RB5 286 @ 1:27.029
BRI4N ESC @ 1:27.436

No prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc, but everyone will get 5mil if they take part in all 10 races.

Everyone can be a winner

Racing takes tomorrow: Wednesday 8.30pm, failing that next Wednesday if this is too short notice. Add your name below if you can make it.

NOW WEDNESDAY 22nd

I plan to be there, wife told me last night she's going out with her mates tomorrow so I'll have the whole evening to myself (or I'll end up at the pub)
Should I make my own 22B?

I should be able to get on too, but will also be on xbox upstairs so there might be some lag / ghosting, which'll make it harder for mark to hit me

Neanderthal - I've got a spare 22b but the scooby clinic graphics are locked by borro or the designer so it wouldn't match everyone else's.

Tsukuba Short - 39.242
Malayan Krait - 1:36.628

Laguna Seca - 1:20.787

And that's with me driving it, so there's more to have from it!

What you don't see is the number of laps that I went off the track into the barrier braking 'just a little later'
Hot lapping is completely different to racing. I usually choke on the last lap if I'm in the lead!

I dont have another one, but i'll message the guy i got them from and see if he has anymore. Will try and get on it before 5pm.

Just to clarify the rules, the winner of the 1st race on each track has to remove weight reduction for the 2nd race on that track. For each new track you can add weight reduction again for the 1st race but again, if you win, you have to remove it for the 2nd race, etc etc.

I know i said theyre wasnt any prizes for winning races. but the overall winner (if we can work it out lol) might get a new car or two!

I'm really disappointed. Had a phone call from the old man needing help with his PC urgently so I've been round there all night!
I'll keep my eye out for another race night though. Boro do you want the 22B back mate?

Nah, you guys can keep em

I think Ben was pretty much in command most of the night, although the naughty boy didnt take of his weight reduction lol. Having said that, it would have been a pain doing that anyway cos it would have meant leaving the lobby and coming back again, so in hindsight wasnt a great idea.

Will have a think about the next challenge and try and do something different again.
