If swhite wants to close the .001 gap between us I'll paint my car so the next time I beat him it has our livery on it ;p

How does this rival thing actually work? Everybody who have faster time than HTKenan on leaderboard will receive the unicorn?

Or do I actually have to pick him as my rival and drive faster against his ghost? If yes, how the hell I find him fast from the leaderboard?? I tried to find him from SF and add him as favorite, but didn´t find him...That´s the only way that I know to find someone fast, if there is another way, please inform!

@ Teme - you don't need to beat the actual bounty ghost, you just need to set a faster time than him before the competition closes. I usually just try to set as quick a time as a can and then check the boards to check whether I am ahead of the bounty.

Well, we´ll see how it goes...1:05.878 and I think i´ll stick with it. Or maybe I should try to beat Fitzy, his only .055 sec away from medevil

Just post a time faster than his, no need to beat his specific Ghost. As long as your time is faster when the challenge closes, you win.

I haven't read any of today's posts on the Official Bounty thread, but we were in trouble the moment phRED threatened to put him in a Toyota Oh What A Feeling ad if 5,000 or more people beat him. Plus he was going back and forth with Johniwanna on the Rivals trying to beat each other. Looking at his replay yesterday, he drifts, locks up his brakes, etc. Yet he runs with no assists other than clutch. My guess is he is either sandbagging (not likely) or he's actually a talented gamer, but still a noob Forza driver. He couldn't break his own initial time of 1:07.491 with our DirtT tune (which he alluded to that he tried)? surprise

I think he'll set his final time between a 1:06.1xx to a 1:05.8xx.  That would keep the bulk of the community occupied/obsessed with beating his time.
 
There's a lot of gamesmanship going on. IMO he's sandbagging, but I also think there are a lot of players that are either waiting for him to set his final time or that purposely set a slow time to lull him into setting a slower final time.
I think that's what happened to Fish0.  Once his final time was set he got pushed down the board pretty quickly, although the NSX was clearly the best car to use.
 
I'm going to hold off until Friday to set my time. By then there should be enough players on the board to make some $$$ collecting bounties. Not as much as Autumn Fallout, but hopefully a decent haul.
 
I ran the DirtT setup in the C Class World Championship and set a 1:05.377.  Very nice car, and thanks for letting me help with some of the early testing.
Downloaded Roo65's paint.  F'n Amazing!  I'll get the car up on the West Garage tonight.
 
What I'm thinking of doing this evening is following Roo's lead with changing some of the sponsor graphics around, removing the numbers and do three "basic" versions that players can download for free.
 
Silver w/ Purple and Black
 
White w/ Red and Black
 
Dk. Blue with Green and Silver
 
I've got Stu's Ford Ka liveries so I think I've got enough sponsor logos to vary things up a bit.  I'll add the DirtT logo in the same places where Roo has them.
 
That should add some more variety to the event.

I think we put Shaggy to sleep during the building and testing of that Celica tune. cheeky

@Oldschool: I put your ghost down as someone to draft! :)

2am is about as late as I can afford to stay up during the week and even then that's pushing it. It's already 2:15 as I'm typing this post.
But it was pretty cool to get a glimpse "under the hood" to see how you guys work.

West Garage has the Celica with the DirtT tune, but I only have the copy of Roo's paint from your storefront so I couldn't upload it.

Roo did such an awesome job with the livery that it inspired me to rework a few things and here's what I've come up with.

All three are on my storefront free of charge through the end of June.

I'll post these on FM.net and try and get some sleep.

Nice variations Shaggy, one looked familiar! cheeky

New time to beat--HTKenan just posted that he used the DirtT tune to set it: 01:06.614 @Shaggy--Roo was in the process of making one with the photo you had sent. I don't think we need it cause the three you have look fantastic! Can I please have the Silver Canon to beat HTKenan with? @OldSchool--I'm guessing low 1:06, high 1:05's. You're a second ahead, and based on his progression so far, it'll be quite a monumental task for him to best your time. We'll see I guess.

This has been a great event for me.  After many, many laps, I've taken a track that I thought was a liability for me and turned it into a strength.  I still don't know how those damn aliens at the top of the LB's do it, but I'm still extactic at running a 1:04.598.  I might have another tenth in me, but I'm not sure that I want to run the 20-30 laps that it would take to get it.

Good luck to everybody at beating Kenan!smiley

Kenan says he's moving on from the DirtT TRD Celica with a 01:06.400 time. So my guess based on this is that he'll end up around 2 to 2.5 seconds off the best time of any particular tune. That puts him in the high 1:05's in the end. My guess is with either Worm's or TNT's tune.

@Knight: I think if you got into the low 1:05's, you'll be fine.

Latest Time to Beat: 1:06.4

@Oldschool.  I think the green is the same, but the updates I made allowed me to use metallic and special colors for the base paint.  It's the Dk Blue/Black combo.  IIRC I had to use straight black. Nice lap too.  I agree with M3.  I don't see him running anything under 1:05.8xx. Fast enough to make it tough for us to push him into the 5000's by Tuesday, but not fast enough to discourage us from trying.

Along the same line, nice laps Knight and Emezmer!

@M3.  Tell Roo I said Thank You for his willingness to work on the red version and thanks for sending me his.  I'm curious to see how he made that livery.
I'll gift you the Canon car later this evening.  It's actually metallic white but the lighting is so harsh at Tsukuba that it looks more silver-ish.

I also think it's about time to set my own lap and make some fredits if I can.
