B class at New York, The Bridge Tour. Leaderboard car is Jag XJ220S.
A class at Las Vegas, Long Strip Straits. Leaderboard car is Ultimate Aero but I think driving the Caparo T1 is more fun.
The bridge tour track is not included the original game pack tracks. But this should present no problem. All you have to do is play the Career mode and you can buy the endurance track pack with your KUDOS. As is everything else in the game after Microsoft discontinued the other stuff late 2012.
I forgot which tracks and cars need to be purchased with kudos. I think the only thing left for me to spend kudos on is the million kudo gamer pic.
My round 3 time is 59.87. You got me on that one. I am slower than oldmodelt. Shame! I ran about five different cars and got this time in the Sixteen like you. That car is a beast. I was surprised that it has a four speed.

The sixteen is fun though. I went to it because I couldn't get close to the minute barrier in the Audi. I'll have to try it again. Because we are pretty even in these. LB for rd #3 is updated. No shame in 2nd. At least you and I are on the podium in all the TT's.
Come on the rest of you chickens here. Or are you all afraid to run a few without your precious brake line, assists and tuning (taunts the speedsters on purpose).
I really want to get on this and post some times but just cant find the time as i am inbetween FM4 and FM5 all the time.
I am going to try and set aside and hour or 2, i used to love this game and spent a lot of time on it. It will be interesting to see my laps times now as i have improved massively from when i last played this.
I only ran a few laps as i am the worlds laziest hot lapper, plus i get bored quick lol
I jump around a lot. Arcade/Career etc. On hot laps I usually limit it to 10 laps then I put it to bed. Depending on the track. I may do multiple cars if I'm trying to find the one for me. But I'll always start with the LB car. That way it doesn't get stale/boring. I can't imagine doing a hundred laps trying to shave off a tenth here and there. It's the law of diminishing returns.
Have been playing TrackMania - Build to Race for the Wii a lot this week also. Arcade style racing with a P2P focus. A lot of fun. Very dated graphics. But what do I know? I like PGR4. It was a free loaner through our library system here in the Chicago area.
I went with the short one because of kudos required to get unlock the long one. I guess it doesn't matter because it's just you and me running. Let's just run both tracks.

Let the racing begin. I noticed that you are about 30 secs slower than me on the long one. Was it that time of the month? j/k.
Have been trying to drum up business. Met some guys on PGR4 and have sent them link for TT. After we finish the A round if there is interest Id like to try something different. Let's go all bike. We won't be LB but if we haven't run that track before our times will show up against each other on the Friends List (FL). Otherwise we will be limited to just the LB cars which I have noticed are repeating alot. Thane62, I noticed you haven't manned up yet for both NYC races. I usually win alot like this due to attrition. . I'm on to Las Vegas.
You got me. I know I said I would have something up by now. I've been preoccupied with a couple of FM4 series. It's bad form not to post times for my own TTs.

I'm not one to point fingers. I'd have 3 pointing back at me. I went about a month between posts. I'll start the bike ones after we finish up the B & A class TT's. I have a bunch (few) guys I've met on line that are doing the B TT now. They show up on my FL. One of them just did the B class on NYC and finished 37th with a time of 1:31.xxx !!!!!. He's way out of my league. Have invited him and sonme other guys to my FM4 garage. He's a master at the bikes. He knows these tracks (all 81 of them) forwards and reverse.
It sort of pooped out. Interest on everybody's part waned. My fault mainly. But if you have some retro ideas I'm always up.
My current games PGR4, Dirt 2, MotoGP 09/10, Any of the GT1-4 games. Enthusia, F1 2012. I'm game and lets not forget the FM3 & 4 games. I think my retro racing games I have at hand numbers about 15 at least.
Before Codemasters fixed the gliches in Grid Autosport (which was the 1st game that I had actually paid almost full price for!! ). I spent my waiting time going back to this excellent game. The more I play this game the more I'm mad that I didn't have an Xbox and purchase it back in the day when everything was fresh and new. I simply just love this game. From the career, acade tasks to the endless amount of tracks that I have yet to master (give me another year).
Once again my crappy RL schedule prevents me from joining. Although after a break of about 6 mos. I am back and enjoying FM4 more than ever. I just turn everything off. Yes everything. Except maybe TCS and that means the HUD's and go in cockpit. Run reverse lobby points against the AI and just enjoy the game. 1st, 5th, last? Don't care. I'm just enjoying the ride. I'll open it up when I'm on. Anyone is welcome. Just search for me or the lobby "AI SIM INCAR VIEW". Because Xbox won't let me use the word "COCKPIT". Late pm/early am CST. Peace.

I grabbed this the other day very cheaply, might get in on some time trial action - I'll pad out the bottom of the leaderboards for you all.
You speak too soon. My GT has old in it for a reason.
And have added info on past rounds for those latecomers to this thread. Enjoy.

Round 4
1:31.64 in the Mercedes.
Round #4 results updated in post #2.
Round 5 up. Sorry about the delay. Then on to Thane62's two choices.
Round 5
1:07.04 -- M1 Procar
I know I could get into the 1:06s if I could just get around without touching the wall once. Frustrating!
For the B class we can just run the Brooklyn Bridge Strait instead of the Bridge Tour.
Round # 6 up in post #2.

Or it wasn't that time of the month. Not sure.
Just good natured ribbing to get your blood going. I'm faster on the longer ciruit only because I've done it more than you.
I get it. I was trying to play along. I got no problem at all with some friendly trash talk. I'll get some times posted this week.
