Forza4 Turn10 Facebook Challenge #2

The first Facebook Challenge with Johniwanna didn't involve a lot of community input.  If John beat his personal best (which he did) anyone posting a lap in the rivals event got a unicorn (which we did).

phREDESIGN just posted the details of the next Facebook Challenege.  In a nutshell, for four hours this saturday, phRED will be on Facebook chat with the community developing a tune.  After four hours, he'll use the car to try and beat his target time of 1:12.463 on Road Atlanta Club.  I believe if he beats his time anyone posting a lap in the event will receive a unicorn.  No details on which unicorn, nor will we know what the event restrictions are until Saturday.

Here are the deatils from phRED. I'll post the basics.  youc an read his full post here.

Welcome to the next edition of the Facebook Challenge. This will be a bit different than our first challenge, as we will be building the tune I use for this challenge in our Facebook chat.

Voting Information
The way the build will go is by a voting process. We will have FOUR hours to come up with the tune I will use to achieve my target time. Each tuning option will be announced by me in chat, then everyone will have one minute to post their answer.

Here is how the voting will be decided:

1. Car selection is a Majority vote
2. Parts selection is a Majority vote
3. Tuning values will be an Average of all values submitted

Tuning and Testing Time
4 Hours

Target Time
1:12.463

Track
Road Atlanta Club

Start Time
10 AM PST Saturday January 19th

Once the event is live in-game I will begin hosting the Facebook chat. Chat will last from 10 AM to 2 PM.

Facebook Challenge #2 Restrictions
These will be released the morning of the event.

Car, Parts and Tuning Schedule
1)    Vote on which car to use
2)    Vote on Platform and Handling Parts
        Yes or No on each type of handling parts
        If vote is Yes then we will have a vote on Street, Sport or Race version of the part.
3)    Vote on Aero and Appearance
        Yes or No on Front and Rear Aero parts
4)    Vote on Tires
        Which Compound to use.
        Front Tire Width
        Rear Tire Width
        Rims (Check Out This Link)
5)    Vote on Drivetrain
        Yes or No on each type of drivetrain parts
        If vote is Yes then we will have a vote on Street, Sport or Race version of the part.
6)    Vote on Engine and Power
        Yes or No on each type of Engine parts
        If vote is Yes then we will have a vote on Street, Sport or Race version of the part.

Once we have achieved the maximum PI limit we will go into Tuning the car. Tuning of the car will be done by an averaging of the values submitted in chat.

Tune Testing
If time permits I will be able to run test laps once the tune has been fully completed. If test laps are possible then we will have the ability to fine tune the setup to match my style.

Unfinished Tune
Once the four hour deadline has passed I will have to use whatever tune we have come up with in chat. That means if we are still deciding on values after four hours then I have to use the unfinished tune.

More or less a community speed challenge. Could be interesting, could be messy, depends on who he gets to help him.

Your welcome.  I figure there are 2O4F members new and old that are still unicorn hunting.

Update from phRED.

Quote:
Tune is done. It is up on my storefront. Search Phrankenstein. I will be on running laps later tonight.

Still no word on what the unicorn will be if phRED beats his time.  I'll probably run some laps in the phrankenstein tune to see what the community came up with.

Not a fan of these quickie competitions that T10 etc put on.  Luck of the draw if you see it in enough time.  By the time I did it was over.  4 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I guess I wiil have to make it my life's mission to sit on my computer/Xbox waiting for them to entertain me.  I'm sure my wife will understand.  Is there a main schedule for us to look ahead at?

Not that I'm aware of, but I do know from phRed's post that they have another Facebook Challenge in the works. Also if you're serious about unicorn hunting you can always post replies in Johniwanna's various threads for his Rear View Mirror, Heavy Metal Affliction, and Week in Review articles. 

Voting thread is up for the reward unicorn. Haven't voted myself yet but feedback indicates the Mine's R32 is in the early lead. 

http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/forums/thread/5959759.aspx

Edit: Voted for the Ferrari CS.ions like the RX-7 is in the lead. I'll double check but I believe voting ends on Thursday.

Spirit R is in first with the TS Supra in 2nd and the Ferrari Stradale in third. There is only 0.01% between the Spirit R and Supra. If I were you guys I'd vote something other than the Supra. It's a monster yes, but I have 2 and to be honest it's more a straightline car than anything else. Spirit R is the better choice between the 2. I personally voted for the Lambo Murcielago.

Oh come on OldSchool. Be a good sport. 5 Spirit Rs isn't that bad. Imagine what you could do with them.....build an army almost.

 

Also OldSchool, can you take a look at this thread for me? He needs a signature vinyl. I told him that I'd talk to you and/or InkaBod to see if you guys already had one premade.

I have all of them. Its a shame as it becomes boring/pointless trying to get another.

I really keep thinking of just selling a few in game to aim for something. (Yes I am just bragging cool)

I would love to see T10 develop some Unicorn Tracks. No, make that just New Tracks. I know, I know. It's not going to happen. But it could have...should have. WTF

And how much longer do we have to wait to hear about a new console and FM5?

Dear Mr. Snappy,

 

You need to get your FM5 expectations in check real soon else you may go berserk when it releases. Even Parcells knows Turn10's track selection will be bismal. This is a car lovers game, tracks mean jack shit just ask Dan Greenwald. I know I'll be disappointed with the tracks in FM5, I suggest you get on board.

 

Your buddy,

 

Parcells

No, no, no... I refuse to accept it. They have to, just have to add tracks. I only makes sense!  Oh, wait... Yeah, you might be right.

we will most likely never see Mt. Panorama, Spa or Daytona or countless other tracks. At $8, $10 or $12 at a whack Microsoft would make a killing.

Here Here.  More tracks.  Old ones they didn't carry over to new and exciting ones.  A car is a car (I know Blasphemy) but the tracks is where the fun lies (for me at least).

I can only imagine the Timmy carnage that would happen on Mt. Panorama.
I'll throw my hat into the track wishlist.  How about CotA?

To kinda keep the thread on track (pun intended) it looks like the Supra has a slight lead over the RX-7.



2002 Top Secret 0-300 Supra (16.8%)
2002 Mazda RX-7 Spirit R (15.6%)

Oh that's great, another over overpowered, straight line car that I will rarely use. I have one in R2 Fully Modded out and another in S class Completely stock  and declassed. R3 Next I guess. Oy!
