Camaro5 Forza 3 Hot Lap challenge
I've come up with an idea for a little competition for people that play Forza 3 on Camaro 5.
This will be a weekly hot lap challenge where the winner of each week will pick the new car and track that the challenge will be played on. The requirements will be: *Picture of your PI (Performance Index, to ensure stock vehicle) and lap time. *Must be cars included in the base game, no add-on tracks or cars, and no VIP only vehicles. *Car picked must be completely STOCK *Must play with all assists OFF (TCS, ABS, etc.) and Manual w/clutch. (I said It'd be a challenge, right?) *Maximum of 3 LAPS. 1st lap to check out the course, next 2 and 3 to get your time. You may choose your best time out of laps 2 and 3. To start it off, this week will be (since this IS Camaro5): Chevrolet Camaro 2010. Track is: Road America Beat my time: 02:27.858 I will announce the winner and as I said, the winner will pick the next car and track for the following week. The winner will be whoever has the fastest time at the end of week. So what do you say, are you in? Good Luck!

I'm all for this, but since I use the controller (not wheel) I would like to request being able to forgo the clutch requirement.

I myself use a controller, instead of using ONE finger for clutching and braking, use two. Place your index finger on the clutch button (left bumper) and place your middle finger on the brake (left trigger). After some practice you will be able to downshift thru turns and use the brake. You can also use the brake and have the clutch in, which works well with doing a burnout or just spinning the tires. It works really well after you get used to it. I still use a controller mainly because when I do buy a steering wheel, it ain't gonna be cheap. I want one with a clutch, paddle shifter, force feedback wheel and pedals, and adjustable 900 degree turning radius.

Either you are a fast dude, or I just really hate Road America. Best I got was 2:30, so I will give you your due props. I really wish the track had been Laguna Seca, but I'm sure we'll race that one sometime in the future.
I love that I can recreate my car exactly in Forza. Best I can do to recreate my car in GT5 is an IBM with Cyber Gray stripes, and it only has the solid center stripe. Forza 3 is my favorite racing game, even after owning and playing all the GT series.

Ya, I love the customization factor in Forza 3. Hopefully in Forza 4 we can customize the interior with two-tone colors and aftermarket gauges. Maybe they'll let us have two tone rims too.

Best I could do. But I do want to note I did not use clutch (but I do use manual) because I can't race with the clutch being a on/off button on the controller and I don't own a wheel and pedals. Just wanted to make that clear

Yep.
Did you notice how much more braking you can actually do with ABS off vs. when it is on? Yes, you lock up your brakes if you're not used to the braking of the car and go trigger happy with the brake bumper. But if you get used to the braking 'feel' you can brake much harder in turns and not lock them up. A few months ago I used to race with ABS on and it was suggested I try it off, awesome difference. Just spend some time with it for anyone who still races with ABS on. |

I'll try, but not using clutch, just manual.

Don't worry man, just practice. I know it took me a few hot laps to get it down when I started using no assists.

What's the next challenge? I didn't know about the last one, but I really only play on one track, but I'd have a go at another. It's been a while
