Gave the Tank another run. Got the same rabbit as StirlingMoose, so this time getting the win and improved my time by a tenth.

Just noticed 4th and 5th have that timing/finishing order glitch.

Nicely done, Lewis. Good eye for spotting the glitch - yeah, once more after the race is done (you pass the line) the rabbits are still on the run for the next five seconds. Curtis passed the finish line before Wheeler but slowed a tad after that and Wheeler passed him before the final tally was made. One more programming bug to fix. This sort of stuff wouldn't happen in most races but we do tend to stretch the rabbit's racing windows to the max with such extreme events.

I do not think I have had B. Hughes without Nowak or Gentile in the field before, I might see tomorrow and reset the field to see if I only just get B. Hughes and see what happens. But one thing about these AI are all over the place with different times we are getting now, even if it a fast race time or not. Glad you like the S206 tune :cheers:.

If they are too slow,= not enough drafting. Too fast = lousy gap...:yuck: :irked:

Sorry about not announcing an event for the expert seasonal earlier. :p

Not a problem at all, Sire. Because we have a longer time frame to work with, it gives us an even more casual approach to the challenges - at least where allocating time to do the events is concerned. Time flies, but we have expanded the duration it flies though :D.

My challenge is fastest time overall in any front wheel drive car @photonrider ;)

Thank you. Let me try out the event a few times - this will help me prepare the 'ad campaign' for it, and I'll post it up in the OP this weekend.
Entries may be submitted right away labeled 'Expert challenge', and, if any are, I will place them in the OP.

Reminder:

While hacked cars may be advantageous in some challenges - the Rabbit Hunters Code of Honour prevents us from breaking the rules regarding hybriding.

There is a time and place for vehicles modded in this way - and in fact we even have an active Hybriding sub-Forum right here at GTPlanet - but for the purposes of the tests and games against the AI that we conduct here, hybriding is strictly forbidden. Please keep this in mind when submitting entries.

Remember also: if you have the skills necessary to do such modding, then you may also have realised that such modifications can be easily spotted by others with similar skills. Play well, play safe, and Honour the Code.

Whuf. Sometimes having to go into the Bold Blue official voice leaves me drained. :yuck:

Okay! Back into the woods, everyone. It's raining, get your galoshes on and go hunting. Fast time in the rain can be a dangerous business. :sly: How slippery can those rabbits be? save your replays. You may not believe the chaotic action when we start putting pressure on them to run at their fastest in the wet. i saw a lot of this when we did the Rainmaster events. :lol:
 
Slightly faster rabbit. Tillman starts on pole and runs consistent 4:47s while the others mix it up. I've had the Tesla come in second place once. He's particularly annoying with his dive-bombing then getting in the way. Mind you I'd probably do the same in his shoes.

Nice time.

I find the tank car is not that bad to drive, it's that all important first 2 laps getting around the AI that for me dictates a good finishing time.
 
Depends if you can snap the rubberband, Hall. The faster you go the faster they get, but there is a point that it will not be realistic for the leader to go any faster. When the player's own speed is so fast that it stretches that window to the limit the 'attachment' snaps and the leader falls back only to be pushed by P2 instead of being dragged along by the player's speed inputs.

Took an Alfa out in the rain - if we can call this rain . . . guess I've been spoiled by the magnificent thunderstorms of TDU2.

Two tries, second place so far, a few seconds over 9 minutes but not good enough to even grab a win - P3 on first run, P2 on second. I'm gonna stick with the Alfa for a race or two more then go get one of my GTOs or maybe even try them all ( I have three).
Never realised I had so many FWD cars - all FF, of course (are there any FWD with rear engines in this game? I would think they aren't so common.) Got 62 FFs in my garage, so no lack of cars for me to try out.
I'm really glad of the extended time of the Seasonals - seems like PD know how to cater to the adult crowd that love the game but also lead extremely busy lives. And it is the 'adult crowd' that have the money - so the dollar seems to be speaking. This time around I have plenty of time to savour each seasonal to the full before i move on to the next one.
I have still not satisfied myself with the Intermediate, but have time to go back to that too; for now it's chasing the storm - or rather, :mischievous: confetti - around Spa.
Well, I'm heading back to the console. I'll be back later to update the OP tonight with all latest entries.
 
First go at the Expert FF Challenge:
Bought this Peugeot thinkin it looked pretty good! Lol Put a quick tune on it and this was the first try out! Now to put in some time and see how low it'll go!

RCZ race 1

Also I'm sincerely amazed at the times you guys are turning in with the Tank and the Biposto!:bowdown: Just proves I have to make more time to play and practice! :cheers:
 
What absolutely great battles going on here!

The Moose and Lewis going toe-to-toe for the title of Tank God and Hall and nowayback duking it head to head with the Biposto B.A.T. Sorting through the carnage of fast-falling times was fun. You guys rock.

Truly, I wouldn't have enjoyed the Seasonals so much if not for the fact that we are enjoying playing it together; it's been a blast right from the start - right from when Hall, Whoosier and MTM chased after Papp.
We've come a long way since then, and new players are always dropping in, unafraid to play even if they feel that their times are nowhere near the top runners. It's all about doing your best and improving as you play more, participate more, and developing your skills, whether special or general.
I'm happy with whatever performance I put in because while I know I'm trying my very best, I also know that I'm running against some of the more well-known top-runners in this game, and to even come close to the times they enter is satisfying, I don't need to win.

Events given a closing date will end with that day's end AoE.
If the closing date also has a closing time then we will go with that specified closing time of that date.

Examples:
Closing date '10th September 2015' will mean that entries close at the end of day of 10th September 2015 AoE.
Closing date '12.00 Hour UTC/GMT 10th September 2015' will mean that, immaterial where you are located, the event will close at the specified UTC/GMT time on such date.

Okay - to put it less formally - here is how it works:

If there is only a day/date given as closing-off time then the event is open as long as that day exists - so if we are to look at '10th September' then it is still 10th September on Howland Island (the last spot on Earth for a day to exist in real time) even though it could be well into the day of the 11th September in Greenwich.

So the current events dated closing on the 10th September will actually close 12.00 Hour UTC/GMT on the 11th September (to give that distraught soul on Howland Island time to beat TheInfamousJew6's time in the Abarth and snatch the trophy away.) I'm not really sure that anyone on Howland Island is chasing after rabbits, but one never knows. Hopefully not and our infamous Jew is safe.

To keep it simple from now on I will input the UTC/GMT time on events with a close-off.
If there is no cut-off mentioned then we will take it that the entries close as soon as the particular Seasonal used for that challenge is taken offline by PD/Sony.
So, to summarize, the events currently marked to close at the end of day 10th September 2015 will end at UTC/GMT 12.00 Hour 11th September 2015. Events not marked with a closing date/time will end when PD ends that event.

Hughes took a coffee break

Good playing! 👍 Hughes was the man to go after if we were to beat this challenge. Great job getting Gentile, Nowak and Miyamoto booted off the field. :lol:
