I've decided that if we have enough interest that I am going to run a Forza 2 challenge.

The challenge itself will be the fastest lap time, around a certain track, with the choice of only 1 car.

Driving assists i am unsure of but will be decided before the comp takes place.

There are a few rules though.

You must be a member of SAU - It is only open to members and if you have a post count of 10 or something you will not be considered a valid entry.

You will have two weeks from the start date to get your time in. A screenshot will be okay, or we can get the times off xbox live if you have it.

At the end the person with the fastest lap will receive a prize.

The prize will be a videogame of your choice up to a retail of 29.95.

For example you could have any platnium ps2 game up 29.95, any Vivendi Best Sellers Series on PC, The "Thats Hot!" range on pc, "Big Bytes" on pc, etc, etc.

I will be paying for the prize and organising the shipping and everything.

Tell me what you think and we can fine tune it. Hopefully we can have it started by the first of July. And it will run for 2 weeks from the first.

You will be required to register before it takes place.

Thanks Karl

I will be more then happy to be in it... dont think I will win it but I will gladly make up the numbers :domokun:

And as for the assists... there is no way to prove whether people use the assists or not is there??? Based on that assumption its probably better to allow the assists to rule out any unfair play...

well looking at the scoreboards on the net it says what assist you have used.

but we could make it an honesty thing i guess.

the only assist i don't beleive in is driving line,

cos most cars nowadays have automatic, stability control, abs, etc, etc.

Ahhh okay... I have only had my 360 for about 2 weeks so I am still learning the ins and outs...

Sounds like there is going to be some tough competition... :action-smiley-069:

I hope it allows the basic driving aids like ABS TCS etc cause I am still using those in my career mode :(

ok people, i've decided that the track will be Laguna Seca.

And that the car will be an "A" class car.

I'll let everyone put imput as to what car we will have. But i will finalise everything tomorrow night. And we will start on the 2nd of July and run until the 16th of July.

All entries will need to be in by midnight the 16th of July.

So lets hear some suggestions for cars.

Kralster there are some things that need to be taken into account when selecting the car.

For instance..

Game progression:

Depending on how far everyone is into the game certain cars may not have been won/unlocked.

Price:

Price to purchase car and also price of upgrades (although the more expensive cars have the more expensive upgrades anyway)

I think the car chosen should be a D Class car that can then be tuned up to A Class. This will make it cheap and affordable to all

Thoughts?

Edit: Another thing to keep in mind is that depending on your chosen region some cars are won e.g. ae86 so these should not be selected i dont think

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
