Timberwolf isn't the fastest bloke around, so the majority of you guys should be able to beat him without a hitch; provided that you have a suitable car to do so. :)
 
On the March VIP do you just have to post a time on the 'Ring or is there a time to shoot for to get a car??
 
Me Monkey 8 ME is the new community bounty huntee. 59.7xx in the AMONG GIANTS rivals event.
I'm not too thrilled about the car, even less the livery but I gave it a go and got him by a couple tenths. Beat him by more than a second on a dirty lap so I'm feeling pretty good.
 
The Elvish Rhianna edition 370z

A Rihanna livery? Surely they could've fit it on a Gallardo...
 
Yeah, monkey's time. As long as the car isn't a unicorn, they never are, then I'm not too worried about it. I've put a 100 laps into it already and I don't see myself getting within .500 of him so no need to be bothered.
 
Crap. If I had known it was a TMNT design... I just may have tried to beat the time. Though couldn't see myself scratching over a second off my current time.

New Bounty is up - greenPandaMeow is currently at... 2pts for the Sachs Curve Drift, but I imagine that won't stay. I'll upload my drift car to the FPM garage later this evening 👍

Finally, finally got a clean run in at the Le Mans Track Day Rivals event. It took two 9 lap stints, which raked in the XP, but I've now got the 787B sitting at 130th overall, with a 3:48.169. My fastest dirty lap was a 3:43, but the sheer stupidity of the AI (braking on the straights, coasting side-by-side) meant I couldn't manage it clean.
 
I think the gift car for March's KOTT is the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 if you beat Montoya's time, if there is another one for just taking part then I'm not sure what it is. I don't think anyone has recieved their car for beating him yet.

T10TailHappy is offering one of three unicorn cars which I think the people in the thread on the official forums get to decide which one they will give to everyone who beats the time, which according to the post is a 3:26.150.
 
It's the Aston Martin Zagato that was in March's DLC pack IIRC.

Ive got to keep a better eye on the free cars that you get when you participate 'cause I bought the Astan Martin already..Ill have to check to see if I have two of them....

Thanks, why did I buy one of these earlier which I haven't used when I could of waited, I only pay attention to the unicorn cars because I can use any other cars in hot lap mode.
 
This challenge is annoying. Beat it 3x times, sub 3:05.xx, with CLEAN laps showing throughout the lap but upon crossing the finish, the laps are dirty.
Finally was irritated beyond belief and settled for a 3:13.xx with 2 hit cones.
 
That's odd that it makes your times dirty. T10TailHappy is at 3:06.733 for anyone that doesn't know and is saying that is his final time, I think I'm on a 3:07 with 2 cone hits at the moment, I have no idea how people are getting into the high 2:30s, watching their replays they're holding almost double the speed through the really slow and tight 'chicanes'.
