Weekly Rivals Mode Thread FINAL WEEK

[RikkiGT-R]

I haven't tried the RS5 so no idea how it drives. The car I drove was pretty well tuned even though it was setup for an oval it still drove pretty well, lots of power and good grip too.

You could do me a solid and give it a whirl? Curious how you'd manage in it.

Well I took it out for a 5 lap race, just running whatever setup the game gave me on it. Took a couple of laps to come to grips with the handling of it but started to get a little quicker each lap. Last lap was the best at 1:39.546

That’s not too far ahead of me then. Gives me a little confidence
Obviously I’ll be trying other cars anyway.

 

[Drex124]

I can't remember if it was the RS5 or 7 that was an absolute boat when in stock trim... so I wouldn't be surprised if we'll see better times coming from the other cars. Either way 1:38.825 seems alright for a start, apparently the caddy is the way to go though judging by the leaderboards.

 

[-Fred-]

Just did a 1:37.715 with the Wraith Might have more into it too!

 

[Omologato]

I saw that time with the Wraith and just about died. Absolutely magical.

I managed a 1:37.993 in a RWD RS5, so there is some potential there. I actually built a RWD Mercedes E63, but only managed a 1:37.999. Oh well, I have many more cars to test tomorrow!

 

[-Fred-]

The Wraith experiment was fun, but it's time to get serious. Currently down to a 1:36.534 with the V10 M6, that thing is an absolute peach. I could potentially shave a few tenths off should I manage to get the Corkscrew right, but I haven't managed to do so since the GT2 days so I'm not holding my breath.

 

[UnshavenYapper]

Car choise and setup means ALOT in Forza if not everything, im not bashing T10 for this because with so many cars and factors in play, a perfect PI system is impossible. And last week i took 2secs of my time with the 612, just from tinkering with it. was running high 02.01.xxx's when i just pulled it out the garage.

Cant really decide of i wanna stick with one car this week or try a few different ones, think im at least gonna give all the BMW's a try

Looking at it, i would say the Caddy 2011 CTS-V is the OP car in this weeks selection. That car was a beast in FM6 in A class. I do hope i get proven wrong tho

 

[FastBud]

Love this track so who wants to pick me a car

 

[Andrew R]

After a couple of goes in the '09 M5 I got down to a 1:39.119 but there was definitely time there. Might have a go in something else tomorrow.

 

[ImaRobot]

Just did a 1:37.715 with the Wraith Might have more into it too!

To be honest, it was almost my first choice as well

I think I managed a borderline 1:37 in the E60 M5, but I'm still testing others before I really decide what I want.

 

[RPM Bibblefish]

1:36.843 in the maserati GT-S FE, reckon i could get that into the 35s but not a fan of this car so will try some others.

 

[UnshavenYapper]

01:37.897 - Bentley Continental Supersports '17......First try, build and tune tho....things a pig!

EDIT:
01:36.939 - BMW M5 '09.... First try with a build i did some time ago and apperently is shared, horry up and grab it boys before i change my mind on having this beast shared


Edit2:
Cant believe, there's 12.140 people on this leaderboard, but there is 3 of us from this event in the top 10 allready 👍👍👍

 

[HBR-Roadhog]

I was a bit shocked to see how high up I was after just a few laps in an oval setup

For some reason I am struggling out there today. Will have to try later. Seems that after driving that AWD Audi I keep getting carried away on the throttle and having issues. Need to go drive something else for a while I think.

 

[BoneSawTX]

1:36.9xx in the ATS-V, it’s a generic tune that’s better suited to Daytona road course. Might take some HP out and add some tire width. Was never getting to 6th and had a ton of tire spin.

I feel most of the cars in that division have enough power stock (Volvos aside), it's really more important to get weight out of the car and add in some grip with the tires and suspension, and maybe some aero too.

yeah, especially the newer CTS-V Sedan, starting at 640hp, outside of it's own homologation.

 

[UnshavenYapper]

The Bentley was sitting at 700hp. there was barely anything you could do with it....

Found it drove much better without max front tyre width tho

The Bentley is awful, as is the Porsche.

Thought I'd give one of the Audis a run and managed to improve my time slightly. 1:36:447 in the Audi RS6 '15

You can use it even though it has more power than the homolagation allows? I always figured it would restrict it.

 

[-Fred-]

There are restrictors to bring it to 600hp, but you can't do much else to it. It's very much a car that was way better/more useful in Horizon.

 

[UnshavenYapper]

No you need to add the restriction plates in the engine upgrade section.

 

[ImaRobot]

Didn't even know that was a thing, to be honest. Thanks for that

 

[UnshavenYapper]

Some engine swap engine's got them too, but im not sure if it follows the car or engine?

Im pretty sure i tried engine swapping a car so it had the 3.7l V6, but no plates was available, but then i swapped the same engine into another car, and then the plates was there?

You have to check for your self

Well, now that I know I'll definitely keep an eye out! I wonder if this is the case for the Civic Type R as well, as its 6HP out of its homologation. I'll look into it, Thanks!

 

[RikkiGT-R]

UGH God you guys are having so much fun with this selection and I'm tied up and work and desperate to hit the track
From the looks of things I'm definitely not going to settle on the Audi this week. Gagging to get an M5 or something around 'Seca.

 

[Andrew R]

I've just started my Christmas holidays so I'm hoping to get a bit more time than last week but juggling it around a hypo seven month year old is quite a task.

Grabbed your tune @UnshavenYapper, looking forward to seeing how much quicker it is. I thought I was almost competitive this week but you guys are dropping seconds in a hurry.

 

[UnshavenYapper]

Civic, Focus and i think the Merc all have restrictor plates to run in the Modern hot hatch division if i remember correctly
