Welcome to a new week! Since this is Test Course and no F1 can beat the GT-One/GT1, you can compete this race in hot-lap mode, similar to Boombexus's Weekly Race Series. :)

That surprise I mentioned in the results thread? Well just to keep you all interested I devised a "Best Lap Championship" where points will be given for the best lap during the race. As usual you get points for better laps, the better your lap the better your points.

With this new competition, you can take your best lap from your race time and you'll be given points according to the time.

The points look like this:

1st: 10 points
2nd: 8 points
3rd: 7 points
4th: 6 points
5th: 5 points
6th: 4 points
7th: 4 points
8th: 4 points
9th: 4 points
10th: 4 points
Below 10th: 0 points

But like that's gonna happen... :p

Anyway, on with the racing!

THE RACE: Test Course.

THE RULES:

1. No hybrids
2. No wall riding
3. No shortcuts
4. No cheating
5. Save your replay
6. If possible, upload your replay onto the forums
7. A photo of your time is not required, but can be added if you like.
8. Please, NTCSers, don't use any of the 900hp + monsters
9. Running wide is allowed, but obviously it will slow your time.
10. The rumble strip is considered part of the track.
11. Have fun.
(If you think any more rules should be added here, PM me.)

THE DEADLINE: The dealine for your time to be in is Sunday, midnight, your time (meaning that you can race til 11:59 your local time then give me your time).

Testing will be held on the Free Run version of the course, with the actual race being held in the Hard Single Race mode. You can run the race as many times as you like to get the best time possible.

Testing officially starts now, and will finish on Friday, with racing time being all weekend.

You can discuss all of your intermediate times, but not you're whole lap. You can give generalisations, ie "I got down below 1'20", but not specific lap times.

Go have some good fun! :D
 
At least its only 1 lap and not a race

so Sough has how many points then? :D
 
But I was really looking forward to Tokyo :(
Can I use the 900+ hp monster? hehe
 
Well Im glad we are having points now - this is for each week isnt it and not just this one ??

Are we going to work out the points to date ?? Dunno why Im bothered cos I aint got too many points already

Test course is boring but its on the schedule so got to race it ! I hope we have more luck than the real F1 drivers did this weekend !!!!
 
Regardless of points or whatnot, I don't think I'll be running the test course, good luck to everyone else.

Doesn't make much sense to me to have a "best lap championship" when its the race that counts for placing in that week. I'm not griping though, I'll continue next race at tokyo.

Yep, it is for each week, and no we won't work out the points to date because I had this in the works from the start to bring it in this week. :)

Sough: This lil "championship" thing will hopefully inspire competitors to go for their best each week and not adopt a "this will do" attitude, and will hopefully tighten up the competition even more. :)

Ahh! Bloody Internet's on the fritz! Sorry... :banghead:
 
Yeeeees, I know you're guilty of that... :p
 
9.500 T2 so far, anyone else?


with a top speed of 381km/h (238mph)
 
Hmmm, my top speed's only reached 379km/h. Looks like some work to be done there...

I think my best T2 is about 9.5 - to 10.5, in that there region, pahdnuh.
 
Best lap sub 1:30.500

going faster than the time ive got is gonna be hard work though

smooth smooth smooth smooth smooth is the name of the game for this 'un
 
I think the important thing is to make sure you have an F1 thats just being broken in so you can get max hp from it... The rest is trying to eliminate as much drag from the car.
 
Erm - you mean 1'39, Clint-me-lad...

Smoth is going to be hard...
 
oops 1:39 is what I meant:O :O :O
 
What car are you guys using? Even with the hp difference their top speeds are close, but still it would help to clarify before the weekend.

Damn your lucky. I just know what a fast lap is for Tokyo but I dont have any replays/ghosts to help me out. I am at a 1'08.4xx tho.
 
the ghost im chasing is a 1:06, hugely fast
 
Yeah, and I thought 1'10 was fast... :p

That's my best lap for those of you who don't know...
 
Nice avatar SS 👍

Too bad this place is rated General Audience. Avatars could be so much more wicked :trouble: and there could even be cars in em...
 
My T3-48.120 but still not happy with the final time.:banghead: There's a couple tenths still on the track but i havent found it yet.
