It's in the south.
I've got three areas unlocked, Byron Bay, the Outback, and Surfers Paradise. I didn't see it when I looked earlier. Maybe it's just not unlocked for me.
LumpusUmbrus, I didn't think I could do it but I beat your time on the Town Tear Up S2 Class. I just want to say thanks for pushing my speeds to pretty much the best I can do. If you beat it again I don't think I will be able to beat you. Regardless of who gets the top time I think our rankings on the global chart is pretty darn good. Currently I'm #73 and you're #97 out of over 500,000 people!
That took many, many, maaaaany retries. Your ghost was still faster than me in parts -- for the life of me I can't figure how you approached the last kink leading up to the run out to the forest, every time I try driving through the fence and stuff there it just makes the car very upset -- so I think you might still have a change of catching that time.
I like how I'm on that list, yet have no recollection whatsoever of doing that race... must have been early on or something.
Also, got the forzathon events done already. All 3 were quite simple to get done. Nothing really exciting to get though this time. No new HE cars.
One of these days, I'll unlock enough locations to see the club.
RobC, where is that event you guys are fighting over? I may not have that area unlocked yet, because I don't see it in any of my rival events.
If you bring up your menu, tab over to rivals, there's a Street Race Rivals tile, click through that to get the list. We've been doing the first one, Town Tear Up.
You probably need to unlock street races before it shows up. I don't really remember at what point those start opening up.
I've shot club invites to JayhawkerStL and MileHighDrew.
edit: I've gone and put in some times in all the other car classes you can try taking on.

Holy cow, 2 seconds is a lot for me to try and make up.
I'm curious, what are the stats of the car you have? That's a car from the DLC right?
That's a pretty incredible run! Congratulations!

Not sure of the stats, but it looks like it was a VIP car. I have the second highest ranked time with that particular car (the fastest just a few ranks higher) so I suspect your car might be better over all, I just don't own one to try out. I think the top times were mostly Paganis.

Found it. Send me an invite, too. I think I just unlocked the club option.
Could someone send me a club invite? My gt is DedicatedListnr.
For some reason the invites are not showing up for me? Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?
Check the Social Tab -> message center -> Club Tab
That is where it should be
I still don't have an invite, and can't see it in my "friends clubs" on the Clubs tab.
EDIT: Got it. Thanks.
I don't have privileges to invite people to the GWJ Forizon Club. Sorry, I would if I could.
I have such a fight with my Ariel Nomad. Every time I think I've got it almost tuned to suit me, I screw it up again and either it gets snap oversteer, it's too bouncy, or some other fault that makes it not competitive against high level AI.
Grrr.
I am so bad at tuning cars. I'll upgrade the parts, but I can never really tune them so they drive any better - except for maybe the gear ratios.
The Nomad is fun to cruise around in but I can't race it to save my life. Every time I try it's a struggle to even get on the podium.
How I tune cars:
1: Open tuning section
2: Search by creater - don joewon song
3: Apply tune to car
4: Have fun
I have no idea how to tune a car so I leave it up to those who do so I can just get in, race and have fun. Hundreds of hours later and I'm still enjoying it.
I just discovered I could load other people's car setups and am much happier for it.
On another note, it doesn't get much closer than this!
Damn, I got some work to do. I've been away from the game pretty much all week.
Also, I'll send out some invites tonight. I think there are one or two on the last page or so of this thread that haven't been sent out. If y'all see this in the next few hours and didn't get an invite post again and I'll send them out tomorrow.

Just tried his A class tune on the Nomad, and it's more of a handful on the event I was doing that my setup. I think he made the mistake I originally made and lowered it too much. You have to lower this car some to keep it from being too bouncy, but if you lower it too much, you're either bottoming out the springs or hitting the bump stops too much, making it very jittery on rough surfaces.
I almost had it where I liked it, then screwed with too many variables at once and broke my setup and can't find it back again. Should have saved before changing too many things.
LumpusUmbrus, your beating the times too quickly - I can't keep up!

I think a number of your times are going to stand for a while. Having to drive specific cars to compete at the top of the leaderboard sucks a lot of the fun out of it for me. That said, well done! I think there's still a couple places you lost time in your S2 run that I might still have a chance, but it might take a lifetime of restarts to beat. XD
I don't know how many times I've played the first 3 gates of this track! Thanks for the congrats. Likewise. Your class C time seems really difficult to beat.
Stick a supercharged V8 into a lightened old Fairlady Z and that's probably a recipe for a drift car. You can spin wheels in 3rd for days
Is it possible to set up events for club members in this game so we could pick a track and a car, to have everyone on equal footing? That could be fun. Like LumpusUmbrus says, sometimes it's more a matter of picking the right car and upgrades to compete at the top of the leader board than it is about the driving. That's not to say to don't need to also drive well, but you can't compete driving well in the wrong car and upgrades. It might be fun to have some competitions that are more focused on the driving.
Besides, I'm getting too obsessed with trying to keep my times at the top of the club on too many tracks.

I like limiting the options to bring it down to the driving. I do like to tweak my cars, too.
If nothing else, we could post here a challenge for a week, pick a car and class, and go at it.
