AvForums - PGR4 FCC - Season 2 - Avenida de Dr. Rodrigues - Class C


Welcome one and all to another season of the FCC, so it's time to dust off that copy of PGR and getting putting down some laps(and annoy the missus no doubt). Same rules etc apply as with previous seasons, but for any newcomers, your all welcome and i'm sure your pick it up as you go along, but if you unsure of anything just ask in this thread.


Rules/Information:-
Welcome to the 2nd FCC for PGR4, for all you who have competed before its the same format as before so go get your racing gloves on and lay down some laps. For those who are new keep reading and i'll try to answer some common questions.
The FCC(Forum Car Challenge) is a competition that uses the time trial section of the game
Each week we will run a different track and car class(decided by a vote), the track and class are always in the subject of the thread
Yes anyone can enter

You can run as many or as few laps as you like

Laps must be run in a Car, not on a Bike

You must post your time in THIS THREAD for it to be counted.

When posting your times please post them in the following format: 1:12.34sec

If you don't have 'live' you can still take part but photographic evidence may be required to verify your time.

When posting an improved time please create a new post. Do not update your original post.

Please send a friends request to PooonTangster if you wish to enter, this will make it easier to check your times

Winner of each round will receive 1000pts. The amount of points that you score will depend on how far behind the winning time you are. To score any points you will need to run a time that is no more than 10% slower than the winning time. e.g. if the winning time is 1:00.00sec then the 10% cut-off point would be 1:05.99sec so any time slower than this would not score points.

This round will close at midnight Saturday 16th February

Please remember to vote for the track and car class you wish to run next week

Re: AvForums - PGR4 FCC - Season 2 - Avenida de Dr. Rodrigues - Class C

alright, first off, hello to all the AVF folks. i'm new here, so bare with me. i'm a long time xbox'r, started off at the xbox.com forums, and then moved to the Kevlar Lounge. somewhere along the way, i met up with the PooonMeister, and that's how i'm here.

after running 5 or so laps, in the SLR McLaren, i managed a 1:02.12 time.
which, considering it's probably been about 3 months since i last played PGR4, i'm quite proud of myself.

if i have time during the week, i'll try to improve on that, to make sure i get some points.

are we voting for next track/car class?

^^^^^

Hi mate and welcome!


Did a few laps tonight and managed 56.27

you only have to do a clean lap with the sledgehammer to get under a minute.

easier said than done though

Re: AvForums - PGR4 FCC - Season 2 - Avenida de Dr. Rodrigues - Class C

new time: 1:00.35

improved by quite a bit, with the help of the Clinton Sparks 'Hip-Pop RockStar II' CD playing in the background.

:D.

still think i have a little room for improvement, just a matter of putting together that dreaded PERFECT lap.

but, i'm happy where i'm at for now. especially using that SLR and automatic.

Re: AvForums - PGR4 FCC - Season 2 - Avenida de Dr. Rodrigues - Class C

Just did a few runs this morning and managed to get a 56.49.

Could get ahead of Pooons ghost on the first corner and be about half a cars length in front until i get to the nasty left right left after the fast chicane. Think i can get amybe another second off my time.

Car wise i don't think anything is going to beat the sledgehammer its just a dog if you get it wrong but when you get it right the speeds down the straights just blow all the other cars away.

I see all ready three of us are in the top 30 lets see if we can go for some top 10 times.

Re: AvForums - PGR4 FCC - Season 2 - Avenida de Dr. Rodrigues - Class C

The sledgehammer! Talk about straight in at the deep end. I've played once or twice since the last FCC and now I've got to start back again with what is probably the worst handling car in the game from what I remember.

Can't see me putting in as good a performance this season. Unless of course it comes back to me very quickly. Expect a time from me late tonight, after Ross Kemp.

Good luck.

Re: AvForums - PGR4 FCC - Season 2 - Avenida de Dr. Rodrigues - Class C

yeah even i can get ahead of pooons ghost in the spot you mentioned, trouble is that means pooon himself can go alot quicker too

The sledgehammer doesnt seem to bad after coming from forza 2 to pgr4 you just have to make sure you dont over accelerate exiting corners. (best to stick it in 4th, imho)

Welcome Mr Dizzle. The FCC is the same old same old so yeah voting is appreciated, but remember to vote for a Macau track though!

We'll have to have another game of NHL soon, i've not played much recently(xbox wont read it some days) so you can give me a pasting!

Re: AvForums - PGR4 FCC - Season 2 - Avenida de Dr. Rodrigues - Class C

New Time: 54:86 #9 on Scoreboards

If i can put it all together i might be able to sneak #5 on the scoreboards but i'd imagine the times above that, in the car atleast, probably have atleast 1 wallride in them(not checked though)

Re: AvForums - PGR4 FCC - Season 2 - Avenida de Dr. Rodrigues - Class C

Not played this since the last round so i was pleasantly suprised to manage 55.42. In the sledgehammer, which is one of the most aptly name cars ever IMHO.
A high 54 is a personal goal. That and keeping lightsider firmly in my rear view mirror (and a few others)

And welcome aboard Double Dizzle.

Howdy, been in the PGR club since it started but my first forage into FCC.

Was beginning to think I would never break 1m in this but just managed a 0:58:72 in the Sledgehammer, somehow I don't think that will be getting bettered by me.

Re: AvForums - PGR4 FCC - Season 2 - Avenida de Dr. Rodrigues - Class C

Well, first night back on PGR4 since the last season and a fairly frustrating 57.63 for me in the Sledgehammer.

Possibly still inside the cut-off time after tonights attempts.

I know what you mean, it almost like you have to break half way down the straight in order to make the right hander

Welcome Kahled, hope you enjoy the world of the FCC. Your soon find you times coming down but a 58sec isa good place to start. You should also find your own 'rival' which always seems to help people get their tiems down when the are trying to out-do each other

EDIT: the overal winner may soon become a foregone conclusion if a player called czechmate decides that he wants to enter as he is much much faster than me, deano, c00c0l etc etc!

For some reason i never really warmed to my old one (Inspector 68). And i think you'll always be known as your'e original tag.
