Ehhhh, very bad qualifying time on my part. Couldn't run a clean lap to save my life and to make it worse I ended up smacking a wall giving me damage all around. Still feeling very confident about this race though!!!

Just clicked the link to the qualifying times and the only guys showing up are basic, hannibal, and matthnt. just curious if anyone else has this issue

Edit** I saw when that was posted so nevermind.

I only had one clean lap (that damn chicane I can never get right),

I am quite happy with my time but cant complain considering I decided against having more practice time

(in hindsight should have but couldn't be asked with this track to put more practice in)

good luck to the GT cars trying to lap the GTC cars this session I think nightmare will be an understatement.

I saw some guys going way out to the left and then cutting back over for that chicane and taking it full out, that gave them 44's. if i take it the best i can i can drop .5 or more. i am worried about how strict penalties will be since its a tough corner.

So as long as you do not gain an advantage by cutting the corner (i.e. overtake someone by cutting the corner) I think everyone will be fine considering as you noted its a very hard corner to get right especially in some of the more larger, heavier cars.

I think if I can get that corner right I can probably cut roughly 2 seconds off my time but I will be pleasantly surprised if I can achieve that

my internet is playing up, on my computer it connects and disconnects constantly and i dont have time to even get on xbox live or i could get on for a few minutes, so even if i get it working soon, its just too unstable to race i cant race and potentially lag spike someone out the race, im sorry

2 whole seconds? hmmm i have seen myself take it around 135 and that was *almost* flat out and *almost* dirty. i gained almost 1 second. you must have alot of trouble with that corner lol. mind if i ask what you quali'ed with or what youre running?

Thats a shame bradz. try unplugging it til a while before the race, see if that gets it t reboot. or you could press the hard reset button. just a few suggestions.

lets just say I was 1.8 seconds up on my lap before that chicane then went down to 0.2 seconds up

I had to drive like i was driving miss daisy speeds to get through it cleanly

Cant remember my exact time but it was i think it was a mid 47 (if I remember right)

**EDIT**

sorry to hear that bradsz hopefully you get your internet sorted etc.

lol driving mrs daisy? nice. Well looks like we'll be starting side by side. When i was chasing Matthnt/Hiredgun i was able to pull out a clean 46.7xx then i could still hit lower than that. i really hope that ill break a 45 during the race. i was up .9 on a 46.7 before bombing the chicane. i think this will be my best track. its the closest thing to the touge, and thats what im best at.

Same clean racing rules will apply as they will on every track. Difficulty of a corner or a track does not mean the rules go out the window just because it's 'hard' to get it right. We all are on the same exact track and all have to get the corner right. Qual times will be up soon!

I understand, i was jsut questioning the leniency based on intentional or unintentional, but regardless youre right.

And. OUCH. 2 one-hundredths from my first A lobby :'(. Maybe next time.

Lol my only clean lap was my outlap, and even then it was bad. I can run low 39's with out much problem but it's pretty rare that it's a clean lap. And ya, traffic is without a doubt going to play a huge factor in this race. The only safe spot to pass is the back straight. Also, everybody is definitely going to have to be paying attention coming out of pit lane. That spot is just asking for trouble.

Please don't take my directness for being short and mean or anything. I am usually a pretty direct straightforward person when I speak or act.

On that note I don't think most rule infractions are 'intentional' but if an infraction occurs intentional or unintentional it is still an infraction. So, just do your best to get through certain sections clean and I am sure you won't get it wrong every lap or most laps.

Yeah true. because then it makes things open to debate and then that can get messy. still this track has a way of dirtying a lap without you even knowing it lol. Good luck to all tonight.

good luck to you to, I think we will need all the luck with those pits (my second attempt at pitting there ending up with me not pitting and front and rear bumper falling off because the car whilst auto driving drove into both sides of the pit wall sideways.

(I decided to see how fast I can enter those pits safely)

I couldnt qualify because there was an island wide power failure... last nite there was no internet ... wont b suprised if i get lagged into my own lobby ... but imma be there tonight

Almost a half hour late and still nothing. Cmon people

I had to stop almost immediately. I share a TV with my brother and he wanted to watch the game, so I said well, I can play with the EasyCAP hooked up to my computer so, it'll be alright. That was a completely idiotic mistake. I had a whole lotta skippin' goin' on. So, this will be my first DNF of the season. I'd only done about 4 laps and I couldn't compensate for the frame-skipping. I figured that if it continued, it may become a threat to the other racers. So, I quit. I didn't want to crash into anybody. I will do a pre-race for next Sunday.

that was the craziest thing i've ever experienced on forza. my xbox froze after the 2nd restart so i ended up starting last in the lobby, then i was making time up on the leaders and made it behind matt who was 2nd on lap 18 and there was a lag spike and i got hit and flipped. made it to the pits and a lap later i lagged into my own lobby. after that, my car felt normal again for some odd reason and i was able to pound back 44's. hopefully my finish time isn't too bad due to the penalty per lap for lag outs but i've never experienced that before, crazy stuff.

Good race. I really could have taken the lobby but after i was up 5,000ft on hiredgun and pitted i had to pit again due to a small wreck. After that it was all over. still second in b lobby is a new personal best. btw. that guy. that guy who shall not be named. gtfo.

Great race! I got past METAL C6R early to get into second place but gave it up only a couple laps later. After that in 3rd I had a small cushion of maybe a couple of seconds in front of SSRT Pronebird for the first half of the race. Somewhere around lap 20 he fell back drastically and then I see Boosted in 4th. I go into the pits on lap 30 in 3rd and come out of the pits in third but as I come out I fumble a bit and Boosted gets by me on the downhill S's. I thought it was Pronebird behind me that had me in a Viper sandwich. For the last 10 laps I am pushing trying to figure a way to get by Boosted who is racing a great race holding his own as I feverishly try to pass and keep this Viper breathing down my neck behind me too! Then on lap 37 boosted makes a mistake heading into the downhill S's. I got a perfect run going down 'I got him!' I think....But there wasn't juuuuust enough room as he tries to recover from his mistake. I touch his left rear with my right front and it upsets MY car just enough that Boosted get on down the hill and also allows SSRT Wilkerson to pass sending me from 3rd to 5th in the blink of a corner. I get a small amount of aero damage that hinders any chance of trying to steal back a position. I end up in 5th. Great race Boosted and SSRT DWilkerson. Don't know what happened to SSRT Pronebird.

Congratulations to METAL C6R on a strong race and on the Win.
Also Congratulations to EXT Gambit for another win. (Them GTC Boys letting you put a blanket over their eyes!
