Club Bounty Rival

I thought of an idea. How about we start a club rival event. Pick a rival event, lay down your best time and then have the club try to catch you. So, if you are interested, I will start with the first one.

I picked one of my favourites. Rush Hour at the Ring.

Go to: Rivals / Track Days / Rush Hour at the Ring

I currently have the club lead with a time of 9:56:085. Not a great time, most can do better, but to beat me you have to do it clean, tough part. Also, no flying laps.

This will be an open invitation to anyone in the club. If you beat me I will personally gift you the car I used to set the time, a Maserati GranTurismo MCGT4. I believe this is a DLC car so if you don't have the pack no problem, I will gift you a car of your choice, same value.

I would also love to put a special livery on the winning car but I suck at painting, so if any painters out there would like to paint the winning car, let me know. I will gift you the car, paint it and send it back to me unlocked so that I can put the design on all winning cars. Please put your own sig on the car to show you made the livery and it will not be sold by me only gifted to winners.

Let me know what you think, and have fun trying to catch me.

I like this idea! I'm prolly not going to be able to get to it this week...with weather being hot, suspect wife will be in basement most nights to keep cool...which means PC gaming instead. By weekend, I should be able to give it a shot.

awesome!! can I be next week's bounty? I have some designs that I would like to gift out... this is much better than the FM4 bounty because we will actually get the prize cars out...

GAWD DANGIT!

Fisch I can never beat you on Rivals. Sure, start this one out with a tough one why dontcha? I remember you having a tough time with Montoya. Ever since then, you've been sitting near the top. Kudos to you.

I always hate the track days rivals... I don't think I will be able to beat you in this one because I'm too impatient to wait for an opening to appear in the traffic, I just smash right through it

Beef... Grats on 1k posts!

Marm is like 10 posts behind you!

Thx Marm, I am still waiting for Mark to get in on this, he always beats me. I used to hate track events, then I started to do them just to get better and now I actually like 'em.

No takers on doing up a special livery?

I will also do a draw when we decide to end the event. Anybody that has set a better time since I began the event will be entered to win.

IMO it is not about the prize but rather improving your time. So get some times on the board and have fun.

I could do a club bounty paint for you, send the car over and I will do it. Maybe make the deadline monday at midnight?

So I gave this a try. GOOD GOD is this ever frustrating.

Keep restarting cuz I don't want to run the entire track only to screw up in the chicanes and waste another 4 minutes.

Got some time to sit down and try this...Finally beat you after countless stupid mistakes lol. If the replay shows me going through traffic it'd be a really good watch. So many close calls! No prize for me though! Putting a clean lap on a track day event on the 'ring is prize enough

Marm, if I can do it, so can you. I remember you helping me get through the Montoya rival, here is my chance to pay you back.

Mark, I knew you would not let me down. But you have to take the prize, that is part of the deal. Beef offered to do a livery, I sent it to him last night.

Lou, any chance you can do up a quick tune on the car? Let me know.

Holy crap Mark, I just checked the LB. you killed my time, over 30 seconds faster.

btw,,, I am out on this one.... Me and the ring don't get along... It's a Hate Hate relationship....

Ahh, but you have patience. See, if I didn't get Montoya within a few laps, I would've given up on it. Same with all the other rivals. Unlike you or beef, I just don't want to put in the time. As an example, Beef put in 150+ laps at Maple Valley. I put in maybe 10. I just gave up after that.

I'll give it a run (seeing as how I haven't even posted a time). But this is going to be annoying. I just know it. I have a tough enough time trying to run a clean lap as it is. And now you're throwing traffic in the way?

I still haven't put up a time yet... I suppose I'll have to be extra careful because I tend to get angry if I hit a car in the last sector... by the way, is this an S class event?

Not only that, the bloody SUV drivers on this one like to keep it 2 wide.

They were the worst to get around. I had a ton of close calls because of those damn SUVs. And I was only 30 seconds faster because I got really lucky lots of time in that run . And alright a deal's a deal I'll take the car!

I'm starting to get annoyed with this, I can't seem to stay clean for the whole lap. I'm just too impatient to stick behind the cars and wait for them to get around a corner.

Also, can I move the week that I will be club bounty back a week or 2? I just came up with a great idea for a bounty hunter livery and it will take a while to finish

This is why the Ring and I have a Hate Hate relationship.... Clean until the last sector... BAM... 10+ minutes down the drain (when you factor in loading and menu times)... The reward is not big enough for me (even a unicorn wouldn't do it)...

I will set a cutoff date for this rival at June 30, 11:59pm.

So far Mark has beaten my time.

The following list are drivers that have tried it and will be entered in a random draw to win.

Magico UK
Marmuttlebow
Beefsupreme
SWViper

Hagie1

Let me know if I have missed your GT. I will also post a photo of the car when done by Beefsupreme. Thank you to Beef for helping out.

I am going to give this another shot, but I don't think I will be able to get a clean lap out of it. I have been using the ACR Viper (probably my best choice) and I tried the lotus exige because it was small, but it was nowhere near as maneuverable as the viper. I'm hoping I can get a clean lap in (thats really the challenge for me here) but I'm just wayyy to impatient to stay behind the AI during corners

I'm not done with this one yet...I'll get a clean lap in yet!!

Beef, patience is the key. If you watch my replay you will see that a number of times I held back and waited for an opening to get around clean. Pointers that I can give is use the full driving line since the AI will stick to it, drive off of it. In corners take them wide if the AI is already in the corner to get around, if you and AI are heading into the corner, take it inside as you will be faster to the corner.

Ran a clean 9:33.286!
