So I'm posting this here in the discussion section instead of the chit-chat section because it has more to do with cars, even though it is a game.

In japan, all the rage right now is lap attack/battles. You all know what it is I'm sure... Basically each tuner/driver builds a car for a certain class etc.. and tries to set the fastest lap time. I'd LOVE to go to japan and actually compete, but obviously, that's not going to happen. At least not anytime soon.

Tsukuba ciruit in japan is one of the most popular tracks for these events. It's used to test many cars from stock to wildly modified to full-blown race cars. In forza 3 I use this track to test, tune and setup ALL my modified vehicles. It's got a bit of everything, short of elevation changes.

I love seeing how quickly I can get each car around this track, just like the lap attacks they have there in japan.

So I'll stop blabbing and get to the point: Lets start a TCC Tsukuba lap attack challenge.

Post up your vehicles, mods, and lap times. Let's see how quick you can get a specific car around that track.

I'll post up one of my recent tests as a template:

Car: eg civic hatch

Mods: full race tires, suspension, brakes, lvl1 weight reduction, sport intake/exhaust, light flywheel, street transmission, everything else stock.

HP: 148

Weight: Around 2000lbs.

Class: D-3XX(can't remember)

Assists: All turned off!!! Manual trans.

Best lap time: 1:04:093


PLEASE be honest. If you are on xboxlive, we can check to see if your lying...lol. Also All assists should be turned off (stability management, traction control, auto braking, abs braking, racing line...ALL OFF). Not only do I find the assists only drastically slowed the lap times, this should come down to driver skill and vehicle setup to make it more fair and realistic. The only exception is you may use auto or manual shifting.

My xbox live name is "FormulaMPR". I don't go online often so any records you see for me are probably very old...lol. I'll try to get online soon to update my lap times.

Thanks for reading.

Let's get some battles going!

i'm down buuuuuuut i'd be in an audi r10.... auto tranny cuz i'm still learning stick, abs on, traction control off... i'm not gamer like y'all but i have fun with it

MPR

^^That's ok, it's all about havin fun in the end.

Just to make it as realistic and challenging as possible and more down to the drivers skill and vehicle setup, thats why I said to turn all assists off. Damage isn't such a factor cause it's only lapping (one car at a time).

-----------

Post up your fastest fwd, rwd, mid-rear, awd etc... Let see what kind of times you guys can run on this track... I want to see if I can beat these lap times using the same car/mods... hehe.

MyVtecGoesBWAH

i dont think i can put down a better time with that civic's setup,too much power,no handling at all lol.first few laps with it i only was puttin down high 1:03's almost into 1:04 but managed to pull out the low 1:03 on the last lap.

MPR

^what tires did you have on the civic?

That 1:01 in the R32 is a pretty good time...

I'll do some laps in the 99 Si and R32 tonight with similar mods...

MyVtecGoesBWAH

stock tires

MPR

^^ eeewww...lol. Makes it challenging though....hehe

MyVtecGoesBWAH

yeah for sure, i was pretty much sliding into the corners.on the straights it pulls hard tho.

MyVtecGoesBWAH

i just built a 264mph gtr r35 tune R2 class. im going to try that on it later,not sure if it will put down a good time tho.

MPR

Here's one:

Car: Honda S2000
Mods: Everything, except engine limited to NA with only race intake/exhaust and flywheel
HP: 308 (NA)
Weight: Full reduction ~2200lbs.
Class: Don't remember
Assists: All off. Manual trans.
Best lap time: 0:59:xxx

Was trying to beat the real life fastest NA S2000 to lap tsukuba which did a 58.something (can youtube it) with roughly the same hp, but the real car is even lighter than I can make it in the game... So I think a second off is pretty damn close...lol.

MPR

Haha... yeah. And with fwd and lots of power, just spins the tires out of th corners so bad. I usually leave my fwd cars NA or with no more then 300-350hp, unless they have full width race tires...

The Ferrari FXX is nuts. Was dialing in the suspension last night, did tsukuba in 51 seconds! lol. Don't know if I can get anyother car to beat that (any street-car). My zonda is close... in the 52-53 scond range. Needs a little more tweeking...

MyVtecGoesBWAH

damn that is close!! ive seen vids of that car. im going to build a new Evo x and try to beat the fastest time the one in japan set on tsukuba 57.963

MPR

^Gonna do the same...

And I had to edit my previous post. I ment to say the FXX. Not the normal Enzo...lol. BIG difference.

MyVtecGoesBWAH

yea for sure.. i love FXX,ill do a run with it and see what i can come up with.
