New Community Bounty is up!

greenPandaMeow is the new Community Bounty on the Sachs Kurve Drift rival event. Details here:

http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/forums/thread/5303477.aspx

 

He hasn't posted a real score yet, but I hope it's reasonable.. Like 5k. :) Then I wouldn't have to do a thing. The message from T10 last night was it was back on the Among Giants Rivals event... I spent a while again banging my head into those damn Hummers.. But I did quicken my time. :)

 

Oh - And I have him as one of my favorites, so hit up my storefront and add him.

They're trying to get us to broaden our horizons or some shit I think. Pannda claims he sucks driving, so it may be an easy one to beat. the car looks cool, I just don't know what it is. And Drifting isn't something I try to do intentionally...

Downloaded a TNT Toydrift tune and...nothing. Constantly trying to fight my natural instincts to go around the corner the fastest way, and it's not by drifting. What's worse is that the track has long straights where you CANNOT really drift on. And the corners are not sweeping ones where you can hold a drift and score some points. Sitting at 3K + change using the gamepad. I can't do it on the wheel--I tried! It was way easier on Project Gotham Racing to drift.

Parcells accidently tried the first two disciplines in FM4 because, at the time, he didn't know any better but in order of total uselessness (from semi useless to completely useless - IMO) and three things Parcells will never do in FM4 ever again are.

 

1) Track day Events

2) Drag Racing

3) Drifting events

Typical T10 SNAFU. In game message is wrong--it's the drift event.

I enjoy watching Drifting, and I've tried in FM4 to do it, but I haven't done so well. I can get the car to go sideways, but then I rarely manage to hold a drift long enough to get decent points. Running with Manual and clutch seems to help tho.

I didn't even post this one this week cause, well, its drifting and no unicorn. :(

Its some Aston, correct? I can buy that in game for way less trouble than drifting on HockenWHAT!?! Worse.Drift.Track.Ever.

I did do a quick run in a meh drift build and managed 17K I think, but I won't be attacking this one for sure.

As for the ingame message from T10 being wrong, HAHAHAHAHAHA! Two weeks in a row and something wrong, late, missing or Turd10-ed. See my last post in the monkey bounty thread where my hypothesis is T10 purposfully giving poor info and crappy events for a paint job at best. That won't keep people interested for long. 

All I have to say is WHEN D2NR gets its shot at the bounty, I PRAY that it is a hotlap comp with tuning allowed and not a track day, drifting or drag event (though I could live with drag).

 

I also wish they added a new Rival Mode to the game called 'Archive' or something similar where all the past monthly events are kept for people to go back to if they want. I don't see why they kill them completely from existance when they are over. Archive them for the sake of leaderboards and better yet, keep them open all the time so people have a ton of options available.

The current score to beat is ........ 2

 

From the man himself - "As I am slightly better at painting than I am at driving, and I am particularly untalented at drifting, I suspect there will be quite a number of Bounty Hunter gift cars handed out by Turn 10 when this is all over."

 

So just try it you never know smiley

Hmm, I might be able to manage a "5"...

I do know how to run up a drift score down a straight...

The sachs curve event doesn't score on the straights just the entrance middle and exit of corners. The key to getting a good score is to go as fast as possible in the high speed sections. I've also learned a trick for the tight right hander at the end of the long straight. Faint right then let the back end swing out to an appropriate(or managable) angle then lock up the brakes. That's right lock em up and let the car slide up to the apex then gas it to get more points at the exit ( or stop and let the points deposit to the score).

This will probably be my final score.

If I could get more track time, I'm sure I could eek out a few more points from my improving, yet still relatively pathetic “skillz.” But now I am 6 chapters behind in that boring textbook (Introduction to Theoretical Quantum Drifting), and I need to catch up by tomorow so I won't bomb my first exam in the “Beginner Drifting for Morons” correspondence course.

BTW, the professor looks scary on his webcam, and I don't think I can handle another long-winded, pedantic lecture, with him scowling at me the whole time.[/i]

Not good at intentional drifting and the gift car isn't a unicorn.  I set a time for kicks and giggles, but I think I can skip this one.

I think If I can manage that har right hander, 22k isn't too hard to beat. Just pick a BMW, and get a drift tune, and it's easy. Take it easy speed wise through the corners, and you don't need massive drift angle to get some points. Drifting is fun, it just get s alittle old listening to tire squeal.
