Current EMEA Top 5:
1 F1R Devvo 56.130
2 ESV Scottsin 56.190
3 dehyxd 56.230
4 JSR Ash 56.236
5 F1R Kohl 56.257

Finally!

[normal frigate]

The year ain't 2325 bud

[agile prawn]

not yet

but maybe the rankings will still be valid then, who knows

[unreal pond]

It's a 24 hour clock for when I update it

23:25 or 11:25pm

[normal frigate]

Ohhhhhh

[storm stone]

Nice, you’re the first person I come across that uses that 24h format without the : as well

[simple furnace]

24 hour format is the best

It makes so much sense, 24 hours in a day

[edgy current]

I really need to stop choking .4's

I was on for another .3 last night and choked last turn again 💀

I have consistent pace through the uphill now, just need to hit the last 3 corners right. Losing so much there

[versed wraith]

Ya love to see it 🤩

[versed wraith]

I feel you, I feel like I was running consistent 56.2's but ruining it in the final corner, not even the right hander, no fully the last corner

[edgy current]

Im right behind bowkett going into second to last, keep over braking or going wide 😭

[versed wraith]

I had a lap where I was equal to bowkett coming out of turn 8 and I ended up on a 56.5 😭

[edgy current]

I feel that

[versed wraith]

I cant even try anymore either, just hoping nobody improves

[edgy current]

I still have to break through and cut a tenth atleast to feel comfortable. Hoping I hit that .3

I can take the 6th spot easy but I wouldnt be comfortable with the time holding.

[versed wraith]

Does 6th qualify?

[wheat onyx]

Top six from each qualifying rival event get to proceed to racing I think

[edgy current]

Only in NA since theres no race days

[versed wraith]

Ah

I looked through the winnings last week, I just got a full sim rig on the way so thisll be interesting if I do make it 😂

[edgy current]

What'd you end up going with for a rig?

[versed wraith]

Trakracer tr80s base with accessories, samsung odyssey g9 ultrawide (49 inch oled), simagic evo 12nm base, gt neo wheel (gonna get a different, round wheel during black friday) and the simagic p2000 s200r pedals

Might give it to a friend of mine

(if I qualify)

[edgy current]

Sounds sick, especially the G9. I thought about getting one for a rig too but I just bought a the sd80 32" qdoled a few months back so im already pot committed

[versed wraith]

I am in the process of moving out and finally have space for it so I thought I might as well. Ended up spending a bit more than I wouldve liked so if I qualify and can sell some of the parts that'd be cool as well I suppose. Might still give it to a friend of mine though

And by "finally have the space for it" I mean I dont have the space for it so were living without dinner table 🤩

[edgy current]

Priorities 😎

[versed wraith]

Exactly, I am living by myself so why would I need a dinner table when I have a desk and a couch??

[left slate]

I’m on ya ass pal

You could have had such a monster lap @versed wraith

Your corners after the straight and final corner you lose so much time but your first corner is disgustingly good

I’ve had .158/.176/.197 flagged so far by minimal inches on the double right so it’s coming 😭

[frosty thistle]

i do not understand how yall get such low times

my best is like a 1:03:00 something

[versed wraith]

I know right, usually the double right goes crazy too but I kept throwing it away, I knew I couldve gone faster but I couldnt improve and I have no more time to improve

Ive had a 56.01 flagged as well, I genuinely believe its possible to go into the 55s

[versed wraith]

Flagged in the double right in the same way as you btw

[frosty thistle]

any tips for the first corner

i always go way to wide and spin off when trying to exit

[versed wraith]

Go 2 wheels off the track on the left on entry, tap the brakes and shift to 3rd right as you hit the dark patch on the left side of the entry, then right after the apex shift up to 4th and accelerate

[frosty thistle]

thanks ima try it

[left slate]

I have a couple days off work so going to sink some time into it 🙌🏼

[versed wraith]

Nuh uh

[left slate]

226

[versed wraith]

See now if you hadnt done that I wouldve been happier

[left slate]

shoulda been a .1

im gonna cry BRO

[versed wraith]

Jkjk, well done

I'd rather not be in top 100 than be 6th at the end 😂

[prime portal]

Why dose my wheel want to like take control and start tweaking out

When I drive

[exotic quartz]

look at the game's assist settings

[prime portal]

What should I put it at

Cuz I put it on all of it but I can’t turn it off

[frosty thistle]

hey q would yall say the next qualifier round is an easier track

[versed wraith]

I'd say Hakone is probably the easiest to do perfect because of how simple and short it is

But that also means closer competition at the top

[frosty thistle]

hmm

[restive moon]

I got a time of 59:135 but I didn't count my time

And how are people getting like a 56 second

[versed wraith]

Idk just doing like 2k laps and hoping theres a good lap in there tbh

[restive moon]

Is doing it in a automatic transmission good

[edgy current]

Ideally you want to copy the assists people use on the top of the board. Braking line and track markers on are all you want.

Manual with clutch or bust, just dont press clutch it shifts faster.

Automatic is going to be seconds slower.

[restive moon]

I wouldn't mind doing it in a manual gearbox but I dont know when to shift or anything

[edgy current]

Between engine braking, being in the right gear, ideal shift points, etc its not close.

[restive moon]

Yea i just need to know and get used to where to shift and where not to shift

You mind if I add you and we can talk in DM'S

[versed wraith]

You can watch replays

[restive moon]

I tried to see if I could get information of the guy in firsts replay but I still didn't help me

I set a new best latimer but it didn't count it

[frosty thistle]

question why manual with clutch instead of just manual

if u dont have to use clutch anyways

[simple furnace]

Manual with clutch shifts faster than normal manual

[frosty thistle]

thats odd lmao but ok

[simple furnace]

Yeah it is very weird but somehow the gear shifts are faster

[edgy current]

56.489, just barely 😂

Going to keep pushing since that's sketch, barely 6th

[frosty thistle]

yall r impressive with the lap consistency lmao

[edgy current]

Watching on stream?

[tepid swallow]

which forza

motorsport or horizon

[frosty thistle]

theres a stream?

lol no i just mean i see all yall slowly improving lap times when i keep flip floping between fast and slow and sometimes jus tsome good splits some bad

[hexed kelp]

HI

[frosty thistle]

hi

[edgy current]

motorsport

[edgy current]

I stream my laps most of the time

[frosty thistle]

oh

[restive moon]

I saw your stream from last night that was impressive

Can I DM you and we can go over a few things I need help with for the LMGC

[edgy current]

I prefer to keep chats in here unless absolutely necessary, what'd you need help with though?

[tulip ember]

Y'all seen that turn 10 is dead after the recent layoffs? 😢

[exotic quartz]

Bro tell me your new time

[edgy current]

56.489 so far

[exotic quartz]

That’s good news keep pushing

This week I have to work 50 hours and I can’t race

[edgy current]

Good thing you already have a solid time down 💪

[exotic quartz]

For the EU is not enough 🥲

[prime stag]

I did 57.645 on a controller

[storm stone]

I’m so glad it’s not my region because it seems to be the toughest to qualify

[edgy current]

Please post this in #📣self-promotion

[versed wraith]

Whats the top 10 in europe looking like now?

[exotic quartz]

A lot more from the other’s region last time i had see in the rest regions for sure I can be in top 5

[storm stone]

Yeah fr you could

[exotic quartz]

But in EU im a noob 🤣🤣

[storm stone]

🤣🤣 my thoughts about myself seeing the EU lap times

[vale bear]

Since I'm already qualified, I wouldn't mind giving you my 56.3 since that would put you 2nd in the region, but that's sadly not possible. 😅 😆

[edgy current]

I wish, we'll see I know I have it in me.

I finally broke though and hit the .489, then hit another .490 a couple laps later so it's coming to me.

I have the first 2/3 almost down to a science, it's the last 3 corners that screw me.

[nimble leaf]

That moves you to #5 NA

[edgy current]

6th but same thing

[vale bear]

Same. You make the tinniest error and it ruins the run. It's enraging.

[edgy current]

Haven't seen if anyone beat it today

[nimble leaf]

Ohh I see

I have a 56.809 on the wheel, #37,l in the americas idk if anyone above me is also on wheel

[edgy current]

Thanos is at a 56.2 or 3? He's EU though

He just got the wheel working before the comp lol

[left slate]

Threw a .106 tonight

[edgy current]

You on wheel too Ash?

[left slate]

Controller bud

[edgy current]

50/50, you have one don't you?

[left slate]

I do ya

G923 (pretty good all round)

[edgy current]

That blows though

What'd you hit the wall coming out final corner?

[left slate]

Flagged it on the last lap over the curb

[nimble leaf]

So would you reckon wheel is easier or vice versa

[left slate]

Yo his name is wild

😮

[edgy current]

Oh the inside cut, I dirtied a .440 or something like that last night lol

Do you hold 5th over the hill or drop 4th?

[left slate]

Idk what the hill is, the double right?

[nimble leaf]

Yeah

where most people downshift from 5th to 4th then back to 5th immediately

[left slate]

I go into 3rd on entry into the first corner and shift to 4th mid and exit in 4th

[edgy current]

You know the downhill part at the end? The corner before that lol

Bowkett drops 4th and ebrakes, I saw other people hold 5th

I've lucked out on some .6xx's in that sector but haven't figured out how I do it lol

lucky to get a .7 most times

[left slate]

I exit in 5th

And if the line is right you can exit in 5th and get a dirty handbrake over the double right curb

[nimble leaf]

Yo Ash whats your best time on wheel

[left slate]

I don’t use wheel on this but I have a 56.225 on controller

[nimble leaf]

Ohh I see

I dont like the wheel on fm, I assume thats the reason you dont use it

But im too used to the wheel to use the controller

[left slate]

I prefer it on other games for sure

[nimble leaf]

My thoughts exactly

You’re on Xbox?

[edgy current]

Wheel can be fast but it's a labor of love more than anything else

[nimble leaf]

Would you consider a 56.8 fast?

On wheel that is

[edgy current]

I don't look at wheel as a handicap, there's pros and cons to both

It is a solid time though, there's plenty of veteran drives stuck around 57.0 lol

[nimble leaf]

I honestly look forward to the London trip, that’s what got me hooked

Seeing Senna’s car in person

Happy 4th to my fellow american’s btw, what on earth is a kilometer, do you mean 0.6 god blessed miles?

[edgy current]

https://tenor.com/view/murica-gif-11967745087810666193

[versed wraith]

@left slate has anyone else overtaken me?

[left slate]

Idk I’ve not touched it since lastnight

[versed wraith]

Ah

[storm stone]

Same, after your tips I improved but lost all the time I had saved on the same turns at the end 💀

[exotic quartz]

Me too the same 🤣 I’m believe everybody!

[edgy current]

56.460! 🔥 On the way up!

[vale bear]

Send it! You can't stop now! You're so close. 😅 🤏

[frosty thistle]

hey does anyone have the message with the ideal controller settings pinned or smthin i lost my screenshot of it

[frosty thistle]

thanks so much

[storm stone]

Oh damn!!! It’s not that big of a progress but the fact that I got to go faster after being stuck on 57.59x the entire month is a win and I hope that I manage the 56s on this night, got a 57.430 now @edgy current thank so much again for the tips! Although my brain processes things quite slow I must say 😂

[normal frigate]

54.509, totally not a cheated time

[storm stone]

Definitely esp. on auto with all the assists on

I doubt anyone can beat Bowkett’s lap

[vale bear]

I've had multiple runs where I'm ahead of Bowkett's ghost through the long straight heading into the mid section of the circuit, then from that point onward I eat his dust. I know I can do a 56.2 and possibly even a 56.1 given enough effort, but I don't know if I'm motivated enough to go through all that — especially when I'm already qualified.

[versed wraith]

I genuinely believe a 55.9 is possible

[edgy current]

It's there

[versed wraith]

Definitely

[storm stone]

It’s the handbreaking I believe 😅 to me he’s the only one that can go for the 55.9xx, being close enough already

[versed wraith]

I dont think so, I have been ahead of him going into turn 8 a couple of times but I fumble that

[storm stone]

If you can still push, go for it

[versed wraith]

I cant play anymore, I am on holiday until monday and then I am moving to a new apartment

[edgy current]

It is the handbraking he just does it too much, you can gain T1 and coming off the straight without it. I think over the hill and beyond he has pretty much perfect.

IMO that's where the 55.9 is

[versed wraith]

My t1 in my lap was criminally good lmao

I think I gained nearly a tenth on bowkett in t1

[gaunt scaffold]

There was still some handbrake action at T1 I think but the 56 second barrier has been broken

[storm stone]

are last challenge’s semis and finals somewhere avail to watch? I’m curious

[plucky sonnet]

I believe you can find them on the Logitech G YouTube, but only the Finals are available

[storm stone]

okay thanks

[nimble leaf]

Are the top 6 NA still the same?

[normal frigate]

First 55.9 👀

Barely into the 55.9s tho

[versed wraith]

I will be able to do more laps because were going home a day early

[sterile escarp]

how do u even do 54

[versed wraith]

By cheating

[restive moon]

Who's the one who got a 54 with assets on and auto gearbox

[left slate]

Cheated time

[simple furnace]

And it is across all regions too

Somehow not sure how

[restive moon]

Yea thought so I was confused when I went onto it and somone got a 54 i didn't think it was possible

[simple furnace]

Also no way you could get a 54 with all assists

[restive moon]

Yea I know i used all assets first time and it was impossible

And the way he took that first corner that quick

[versed wraith]

lmfao I just had the weirdest bug, everytime I skipped a lap it started me in 6th gear

[sterile escarp]

Ohh thought he was from mine lmaooo

Mr Worldwide I guess

[novel plover]

Back from a well deserved week of vacation. What’d I miss?

[edgy current]

Ya it did that to me the other night too

[edgy current]

Hoping no one beats my 56.460 in NA so I don't have to shave anymore, that's some sweat already

@grim viper nice 55 btw 💪

[versed wraith]

@left slate I had 3 more laps where I was like a full car length ahead of your ghost where I throw it away in the final corner

https://imgur.com/a/ZyWun5H

[edgy current]

Dirty .402 😭

Spun off the curb on the inside coming down the hill

[grim viper]

Thank you dude😎 it was the complete opposite of the 56.038 lap, this one now has a better first half but poorer last two corners. The 038 lap was relatively poor but then had a really good last two corners

[edgy current]

So much time in the last couple, im trying to learn from your ghost so I can iron it out.

Already seems to have helped im running low .5's high .4's easy now. Just have to put it together.

[left slate]

160fps? 😵‍💫

Wuh

[edgy current]

I figured it wasn't a good start if I could be ahead of your ghost half way through on a fairly consistent basis 🤣

You're usually .050-.1 faster than me per corner so I figured it was like a 10 lap effort

[left slate]

My lap low-key sucks, it would have easily been a .1 maybe lower if I didn’t suck

[versed wraith]

I have an unnecessarily good computer 😂

[left slate]

I’m only on 60 LOL

[versed wraith]

its at 1440p with near max settings as well (just no raytracing)

[versed wraith]

in all honesty, only turns 8 and 9 in your lap are genuinely good

[edgy current]

Bowkett does 60 too I think, not the worst on a rhythm game. Although I perfer more fps myself

[versed wraith]

not trying to be mean or anything but I genuinely believe that if you get a bit faster through t1, especially the exit, you can probably get into the 55's

[edgy current]

He said you suck Ash

[left slate]

Na it’s a compliment Imo

[edgy current]

Right? You got the hard corners down lol

[versed wraith]

nono I dont think he sucks 😔

[left slate]

I appreciate the looks, I have a stinker lap in me just can’t put it together

[versed wraith]

same tbh, I genuinely have been on 55 splits so many times now if I can just get the final 2 corners right

[grim viper]

Yeah I ran against Eclipse's ghost which I think is a .2 and I was even behind that after T1, I never really prioritised rewinding turn 1 on this rival. And yes I do use 60fps, I have the lap recorded and will post it if it stays as the top time

[edgy current]

We're just kidding, I like to bust Ash on occasion

[versed wraith]

wow he likes to bust on guys

[edgy current]

[versed wraith]

i have tonight to try and get the lap

I am taking my pc to my new place tomorrow but I cant put it on my desk yet because I have just a wood plank as a desk and I have to like prepare it so it doesnt get damanged or ruined when I spill stuff on it

but that takes 3 coats with 12 hour drying times between them

I will get 2 of those coats done tomorrow probably and the last one on tuesday, which means that I will be able to put my pc together on wednesday

[edgy current]

The clutch ebrake tech coming off the straight is nuts though

[versed wraith]

but thats also when I get my full sim rig delivered so yeah idk

[left slate]

[edgy current]

Have you gotten to try the new rig yet dehyxd?

[versed wraith]

nope

[left slate]

Maple gonna be a fun one I reckon

[versed wraith]

the parts arrive on tuesday/wednesday, pretty good rig im getting

[grim viper]

I didn't do anything fancy with the clutch, I just shifted down as you would normally but very quickly. Think that's one of the many quirks of the Forza replay system. The handbrake was good though👌

[edgy current]

ebrake central

[versed wraith]

Never had space for it until now since I am moving out so I thought I might as well go all in

[edgy current]

You didn't clutch while braking?

[grim viper]

No

[left slate]

I don’t either

Slam the gears down pal

[edgy current]

Me either, I thought it was some bowkett trick to work throttle better

[grim viper]

The replay shows it going from 6th to like 3rd but in reality it was 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd

[edgy current]

he re-engaged right after upshifting 4th and getting on throttle, right after the ebrake

I figured it let the car track more and exagerated the move or something

Friggen forza replay telemetry doing it's thing I guess

[versed wraith]

another thing that I am trying to work around right now is that I cannot really put full pressure on my right trigger because it gets stuck if I do

so I turned my deadzone down to 90% and I put in like 95% throttle

[left slate]

Oh the trigger stick

[edgy current]

0-80 throttle deadzone lol

[versed wraith]

ye basically

[edgy current]

It really doesn't take long to fix, just need the right bit

[left slate]

I had that issue and just launched the controller so I was forced to just buy a new one

[edgy current]

I believe it's a T8 security torx, had to check a few stores to find a kit that had one.

[versed wraith]

lmao I just had another lap where I was ahead until turn 8 😭

[edgy current]

Like Stamina said it's probably the dampener pad getting flipped over

[versed wraith]

I once had a controller that got stick drift after a month of use and I got so mad that I literally threw it against a wall until it started falling apart, then rinsed it under the tap with soap and sent it back, got my money back as well 😂

[left slate]

LMFAO

[edgy current]

I used to buy controllers from walmart in my dog days and swap the guts with my controller and return them.

Gotta keep those sticks fresh lol

I used to LAN halo with the electronic's department manager so he didn't check the contents too well lol

I kept the stickers clean though, they couldn't tell. It's not like the guts were broken either, just a little worn in.

[versed wraith]

😂

[edgy current]

Not like little timmy would know the difference

[versed wraith]

I didnt even send it back to get a refund I just wanted to get rid of it

I had already bought a new one before I got mention of the refund

again, a full car length ahead of ash into turn 8, behind him by the end of it 😭

[left slate]

😂

I was a full car length behind you before turn 8

😭

[versed wraith]

like I genuinely believe that if I get the last 2 turns right I can get a 55

[left slate]

I have time to re run tomorrow evening but that’s probably it for me

[versed wraith]

I give up

I admit defeat

I have had like 10 or 15 laps now where I am significantly ahead of ash going into turn 8, only 1 of them where I actually made it through t8 and 9 😂

[frosty thistle]

i havent had much time so im hoping i do better next round

cuz when i do play i tend to improve

allbeit i struggle to string good sectors together

[storm stone]

I either make it through now at hakone or I don’t at all, idk what to expect from maple

[frosty thistle]

ye im new so idk how that is but i mostly think ill be better bcz ive only had time for like 10h of practice on hakone

that may sound like alot but im also on controller for the first time so not as much time as id need to be good

[storm stone]

oh you’re usually on wheel?

[frosty thistle]

no as in my first time on anything like i literally got an xbox 2 weeks ago

and started playing this game cuz of the challenge

[storm stone]

ahh I see
in that case, welcome, I started like that last challenge

[frosty thistle]

i dont really think im gonna come near having a chance at winning but im holding out hope i win the sweepstakes

[frosty thistle]

nice thanks

cuz that setup would be dope

[storm stone]

I think how fast you progress depends on how fast you process the track+techniques
I sure as hell should’ve qualified atp but I’m SLOW and according to earlier talk Hakone has small margin for error

if you can get help for Maple (like someone running your ghost to point where to improve etc) it’d be very handy

[frosty thistle]

ye

im getting better and understanding how ppl r doing it but trying to apply it takes some practice

and then u gotta string together perfect stints

i wanna try to get within the 57 second range by the time hakone is over atleast

[storm stone]

yeah fr, I’m finding it hard to do that even after getting help, fixed one thing and messed up others

[storm stone]

what’s your time?

[frosty thistle]

so far not great but my splits were alot better just need to string them together havent had the time to do it yet current time is 1:03 somethin i think my best splits put me sub 1min

[storm stone]

I think you got time to string them together, are you using assists? braking line and track limits should be enough

[frosty thistle]

im usingbraking line and track limits but i think i have abs on too bcz when i try to turn it off i just spin out

so i kind of gave up on trying to not use it

[storm stone]

braking too hard?

[frosty thistle]

i think cuz im on controller i struggle trying to feather the throttle and braking

[frosty thistle]

essentially

[storm stone]

you could try tweaking the deadzones

[frosty thistle]

its not really the settings more that subconciously if i dont rlly feel too much pushback i just flat out press it

[storm stone]

makes sense, tbf it’s a bit hard in the beginning so don’t be too hard on yourself imo

last challenge it was 1 car for each track, so imagine adjusting to each of them 😅 I only got to run on q3 and then the bonus track but the difference between cars was wild

[frosty thistle]

that does not sound fun

😂

[storm stone]

it was something 🤣

[storm stone]

oh okay, managed to go about .100 faster now just a whole second to go and I qualify 🤣💀

[frosty thistle]

nice

[hollow rock]

I just don’t get it

The car just doesn’t want to turn through any corner, it feels really really bad

This car is one of the worst things I’ve ever driven 😭 and I can’t even change the setup

[frosty thistle]

lol

takes some practice to get it to co-operate and figuring out settings u prefer

[gaunt scaffold]

What time on the 9th does the qualifier end? It might come down to the line with my inconsistent driving…

[mellow rivet]

🫣

[rustic carbon]

Wish I'd found this thread sooner, got stuck on 57.009.. Any tips appreciated https://youtu.be/JkBhXswBXn4

[hexed sequoia]

Is it too late to join the challenge if I haven't yet? Went on hols and kind of forget the whole system, I saw people being congratulated for being on top in their region and qualifying

[edgy current]

No youre good, there's one more qualifying round after this.

Just have to sign up in #1304143955079725168 and run laps.

[hexed sequoia]

Oh good, thanks

[exotic quartz]

What Happen you made it?

[edgy current]

Still in with my .460, fingers crossed. Had that dirty .312 but thats it.

[storm stone]

I think I can pull it off today

[sterile escarp]

any tips T6-9?

[edgy current]

Watch replays with telemetry enabled and practice. Its not easy thats where most of the time is.

You have to get the downhill left right to setup the last couple corners. Besides that its managing speed, shift points, and figuring out the line.

Ive been tapping ebrake in 2nd etc, all the stuff youd see on a top replay.

[exotic quartz]

Me too the same

Only the flagged
273 😢

[full sleet]

i like chicken wings

[frank lotus]

Hey everyone!
I’m currently competing in the second qualifier of the Logitech G Challenge on Forza Motorsport, and I’ve just set a personal best of 57.336.

I had a few questions and would really appreciate your help:

Do I need to register somewhere to make sure my lap time counts officially?

Is 57.336 considered a competitive time for a shot at the top 10 in the Americas?

What input devices are most of you using — wheel, controller, or keyboard?

Thanks in advance and good luck to all of you! 💪🏁

-Sign up in #1304143955079725168
-Solid time but currently I believe a 56.460 is the time to beat, give or take.
-Majority play on controller but wheel is fast too, just more work to setup.

[frank lotus]

Thanks a lot for the info, I’ve already signed up in the channel.
I'm currently racing with a Logitech G920 wheel — I know it’s more work to set up, but I really like the challenge and the immersion.
I’ll keep training to break into the 56s and hopefully reach top 10 in the Americas. Thanks again!

[nimble leaf]

Do you guys know when the qualifying closes tomorrow?

Is it at 12:00 AM for our respective region?

[simple furnace]

I can't find anything on the sheet or anywhere, it would be very nice to know too.

[frosty thistle]

i havent played it or used a wheel but maybe adjust settings?

[plucky sonnet]

I think it's around midnight GMT

In a day and a half or so

[gaunt scaffold]

I don’t remember if I filled out the sign up form or not for this season. Would it be ok for me to fill it out again to make sure I signed up?

[edgy current]

Ya just dont spam it

[novel plover]

Probably won’t get any more laps in so hopefully my time is good enough

[upbeat kernel]

NO way bro...

[nimble leaf]

What are the NA standings as of right now?

[graceful coral]

Anyone wanna race or FIA my f1 23 league?

Dm if interested

[grave turret]

Hello,

I apologize for the bother, but I am writing to request your support as a member of the Logitech G Challenge organization.

I am currently competing in the race days in Peru, at the Plaza San Miguel store, and the first problems have arisen:

1.- We were not allowed to modify the driving assists, even though the .pdf you provide to the organizers clearly specifies that this is allowed for experienced players.

Fortunately, this was resolved, as the gentleman who records the times noticed the error.

2.- They are not letting us improve our times, even though we have tried many times, when the rules for the Race Days state in point 2.2:

2.2. Entries per Person
Each Participant may only participate in the Competition on its own behalf. Competition entries on behalf of another person will not be accepted and joint submissions are not permitted. Each Participant may race more than once in the same location or in multiple locations, as long as all instructions provided by the Logitech sales representatives are followed at all times including but not limited to returning to the end of the line if a line has formed, at the conclusion of each attempt, as well as abiding by these T&Cs.

I want to emphasize that we are respectful about going to the back of the line and, if no one else is registered, trying again. This is how it has been done in the previous 2 editions, so I don't understand why they want to follow their own rules, which are not governed and endorsed by the general regulations.

Please, we ask for your support in speaking with the organizers so we can compete on fair terms against the other Latin American countries, as the goal is to qualify among the top 16, and if we are not allowed to keep trying, it's impossible.

Thank you, and may God bless you.

@hardy prism @urban oasis

[quasi drum]

Hey @grave turret I have forwarded this along to the appropriate contacts. Thank you for sharing.

[frosty thistle]

midnight as in start of the 9th or midnight as in start of the tenth

[frosty thistle]

sry u had to deal with that

[storm stone]

iirc it rotates to Maple on the 9th

[frosty thistle]

ye but end of the day or start?

[edgy current]

Normally it closes at like 8pm and the next rival is up when the playlist updates wednesday. Give or take

Im not 100% sure off hand, but theres a timer on the event in the game telling you when it closes.

[storm stone]

I reckon there’s not long, I think my timer hit 1d when it was midnight at about 8pm like Zach said for me from yesterday to today so I’d say it rotates later on the 9th, as of this edit there’s 22-23h to go on my timer

sweating rn putting in my last efforts at hakone fr 😮‍💨

[frosty thistle]

oh ya thx

ye ive barely played gotta grind today

[eager oak]

How can i use the full rotation of the g920 on FH5?

[sterile escarp]

What time does it close for APA region?

[plucky sonnet]

In around 27 hours or 1pm NZST I think but it could be an hour or 2 earlier and a 24hr timer will show in game

[edgy current]

Thank god, saw Beetlesteak was gaining on me and just shaved time again. 56.421 baby!

So that would make MrMarbles the bubble time to beat in NA with a 56.443

[novel plover]

Oh damnit. Nice job tho

[storm stone]

man I hit a wall again, stuck at 57.073 or so
tried my own ghost, p1 and p2 ghosts, friends’ ghosts, at the same time that I sort of see where I’m going wrong in t1 against myself I also leave myself behind 🤣 atp I’m just praying the enlightenment comes to me before it rotates and I get 56.220 it’s my (probably unrealistic) goal
is maple going to be handbrake challenge like Spa or worse?

[normal frigate]

[sterile escarp]

thanks for this

[versed wraith]

got my pc setup in my new place, finally tried doing some laps today

had a 56.219 which was invalid, Im currently on a 56.230 but I need a 56.225 to qualify, 15 hours left

I am consistently like a full car length ahead going into turn 8 and then I end up on a 56.5 😭

invalid 56.149 😭

[left slate]

What’s leaderboard for eu rn? @versed wraith

I think your qualified already with a .230?

[versed wraith]

im 6th

I got off the game so I cant really check but youre 5th and I am 6th rn

[left slate]

I’ll have some more time to run later once I’m back from work probably until it finishes

[versed wraith]

nuh uh

[exotic quartz]

Your time is for the 5th place

[exotic quartz]

I hope we are the next top 5

[sterile escarp]

whats the ideal rpm to shift up?

[edgy current]

Roughly redline or a little over, depends on the situation.

[versed wraith]

@left slate I just ran 4 laps back to back where I had splits for a 56.1, I had 1 lap in which I did the final corner right and actually ran a 56.1 but it was invalid because I went off track in the double right hander 😭

I am actually gonna be so salty if I end up not getting it by 0.005 seconds

[left slate]

Ooooof, I’ll be finished in half hour so gonna be running laps all night myself 🙌🏼

[edgy current]

Crunch time boys!

[versed wraith]

I'd rather not be close than be 0.005 off

[edgy current]

I think you'll be okay unless beetlesteak hits one. Hes been shaving little by little.

[versed wraith]

I have to leave the house in a bit and I spent the entire day working on building my sim rig

[edgy current]

On hakone in season 1, I wanted a 1:15.9xx so bad. Ended up with a 1:16.003

[versed wraith]

😂

the thing that pisses me off the most is that I'd literally be the fastest in any region but EU atp, dont even qualify in EU 😭

[left slate]

Will you be running anymore laps tonight bud? @versed wraith

[versed wraith]

probably

[edgy current]

Ya thats just EU life, atleast you can take pride in being from the fastest region. Means that much more if you make it 💪

[versed wraith]

I know for a fact that I will not be able to do it around maple valley because I dont know how to abuse the handbrake

[graceful coral]

?

[grave turret]

Thank you, Blake and all the organizers involved in this magnificent tournament, where competition at the highest level is paramount.

I hope you can support us by clarifying the general rules that all stores worldwide should be governed by. The guidelines are clear and not open to interpretation, in order to provide the most equitable tournament possible.

We hope we can continue to improve our records and that the Peruvian community of players (which is small but continually growing) will not be affected by these setbacks.

May God bless you and fill you with success. Thank you.

[fluid blaze]

Whats a good time in Maple valley?

[frosty thistle]

hey is anyone else having a problem where it flags a brand new lap as dirty while ur on track and not going off i mean with that triangle and ! symbol

[versed wraith]

if you went off in the final part of the previous lap the next lap is also flagged

[sterile escarp]

After a thousand laps probably more still couldnt get it down to 56.4ssss

[frosty thistle]

oof

[frosty thistle]

thx probably cuz i skip lap and am usually faster going off track to gain speed for a fresh clean lap lmao

[edgy current]

What'd you end up at? I was stuck in the .5's for a while too. Took most of my 4th of july weekend to figure it out.

[late belfry]

My fastest lap is 58 seconds but it didn’t read it idk why. It says my fastest lap is 59.413

[late belfry]

Fastest lap on Hakone at least

[late belfry]

My fastest lap on hakone is 59.413

[exotic quartz]

Congratulations to everyone! 👏🏻🤝🏻

[nimble leaf]

56.559 was my final time, beyond frustrated

I get out of work the moment the challenge ends, this sucks

I hope @exotic quartz made it

If theres any wheel players who made it, I’m rooting for you

[exotic quartz]

Thnx bro but no I don’t made it now is time to relax few days

[nimble leaf]

Let’s murder Maple Valley man

[exotic quartz]

Yeah maybe! I don’t know I feel sucks

I expected myself to do a little better but unfortunately

[versed wraith]

I spent like the last 6 or smth hours trying, I got close multiple times and failed

I am genuinely annoyed and very salty because I'd rather be 100th than 6th, especially with how small the margin was (0.017). Congrats to everybody who qualified

[storm stone]

Compared to last year I think you’re doing amazing so far

51min to go for hakone but honestly I’ve probs done over 1k laps the past 3d and still stuck at 57.071 which is infuriating. today I couldn’t go faster than .300 I’m genuinely mad at myself

[versed wraith]

I know theres some time left but my fingers hurt so incredibly much because I have been doing it for so long non stop now

I am genuinely happy for the people that have made it, just a bit annoyed at myself

[storm stone]

same tbh

[agile prawn]

The fingers didnt fall off yet, stop slacking and get grinding

[versed wraith]

you right

https://imgur.com/a/39qFnH4#

[agile prawn]

Its not a problem until it becomes a problem, n1 best advice when grinding

[exotic quartz]

@storm stone @nimble leaf @edgy current Thanks for the support, you are the best

[storm stone]

Ty for the support as well as the tips, both you and Zach helped me improve even if I didn’t hit the 56s

[exotic quartz]

Don’t worry about that maybe you press your self a lot I hope in maple I see all of you near me in the top 😉

[storm stone]

Yeah I did my best and a bit more for this track, on maple it’ll depend whether it’s gonna be handbrake like crazy like spa or less worse
My hopes were up for hakone tbf

[exotic quartz]

I did the 342 without a handbrake, everything is possible, you have to find your own way.

[versed wraith]

I didnt use handbrake in hakone either tbh

[exotic quartz]

And maple is nice believe me

[exotic quartz]

With the 230?

[versed wraith]

ye

[exotic quartz]

I had my very best 156 but with handbrake and flagged

Without my best was 273 again flagged a lot of times 😅

[storm stone]

That’s the hard part 😅

[storm stone]

gg that’s amazing

[storm stone]

oh yeah I like maple, same way I like hakone, I just don’t know if it’ll be as fun as a challenge

[exotic quartz]

mmmmm yes you are not wrong

[warm condor]

Well done everyone,this was a fun challenge!🙌

[simple furnace]

woah

[warm condor]

Just found this thread recently at the end but would have been really useful during the 1000s of brick walls I hit during the challenge 😂

[simple furnace]

I improved to a 56.550, I think that is 5th in APAC

[versed wraith]

it wasnt enough

[agile prawn]

Because you didnt try long enough, next time i want you to neglect every warning sign your body throws at you until you get the world record

[versed wraith]

I also had the disadvantage of being in the middle of moving

[simple furnace]

Thank you so much for your tips a we bit ago! They were really helpful and I think I might be through in APAC! Will wait and see for the official results. Nice try this round, from your msg I guess you aren't through? Your region must have been really competitive.

[agile prawn]

Next time, the only moving youre gonna be doing is moving that car from start to finish the fastest

[versed wraith]

I dont really understand why NA gets 6 spots and EU gets 5 when literally half the people who ran in the hakone event were from the EU region (im salty because I am 6th in EU)

I would literally be first in every other region and in EU I dont even qualify

[simple furnace]

That is really strange

[versed wraith]

next time I am temporarily moving to APAC region so I can qualify

[simple furnace]

🤣

Last year when they ran semi finals, the semi's didn't happen, some didn't show up.

They just moved straight to finals (I didn't make either of them.)

[versed wraith]

lmao

I would show up though 💯

[simple furnace]

Yeah was really strange

[nimble leaf]

Anytime brother, lets gooooo

[simple furnace]

Thanks! :)

I managed the PB in the last 10 mins lol

[nimble leaf]

Thats wassup bro crunch time is clutch time

[simple furnace]

Yes 100% agreed!

[versed wraith]

I was ready to give up like 15 times today but I kept going (for no results)

[frosty thistle]

when exactly did it endd

cuz i closed the race and it was over so not sure if my time got saved allbeit it wasnt anywhere near yall but curious

[simple furnace]

About 25 minutes ago

[frosty thistle]

odd how come it didnt bot me out

it just ended when i finsihed the race lmao

[simple furnace]

hmm that is strange

not sure tbh

[frosty thistle]

is there any leaderboard website or smthin

[simple furnace]

Not that I can find, I don't think so

[frosty thistle]

hmm thx

[simple furnace]

No worries :)

[surreal dock]

It will take a week or two but Forza will display its leaderboards I think through https://forza.net/leaderboards/

[frosty thistle]

thank you

[worldly adder]

Apac isn't actually as slow as it seems on paper just everyone in apac knows you don't have to try

[late belfry]

My fastest lap right now on maple valley is 1:09:306

I’m on controller though so it’s not that bad

I guess

[worldly adder]

95% of us are on controller

[worldly adder]

NA doesn't have race days

[simple furnace]

Ahh that makes more sense

[surreal dock]

I havent seen APAC here with a Race Day? Or did I miss it?

[worldly adder]

idk i dont normally check

they normally at harvey norman or jb

[surreal dock]

I meant this season

Ok nm I just found it its all in TW

Wait I'm confused apparently Australia did do it... :\ I'm really behind on this?

Ok I missed the whole of June because its at the Gamesmen which I wouldn't bother going after my last ordeal there.

[left slate]

You did amazing, don’t beat yourself up @versed wraith

I managed to improve to a .213 with so many .1s flagged I just gave up and went to bed

[versed wraith]

I guess, I'm just a bit salty it wasnt enough

[unreal quest]

There was one last October but unsure about currently

[exotic quartz]

I did exactly the same thing. Two times flagged 1s and more 2s

[surreal dock]

It happened in the Gamesmen

@ocean grail I see ur time :]

[edgy current]

Beat my time yet?

[normal frigate]

I haven't, think u got a .2 while I'm on a .6

[edgy current]

I still have to beat your ptg hlc time 😭

[normal frigate]

Yayayaa

Gotta try RR's tune

[edgy current]

I did I couldnt drive it, just fixed mine

Im hitting better splits with mine but still looking for time

[normal frigate]

Oki. I only have used my tune rn, have yet to try anyone else's tune

My lap would have been a .4 😭😭😭

[edgy current]

His setup seemed too soft in the front. Probably helps keep speed I just couldnt keep it on line.

[normal frigate]

Oh.

U wanna try my tune?

It's not the fastest one but...

[edgy current]

Ya put it up

[polar heath]

hello is there anyone who knows a lot about the logitech G-Challenge?

[normal frigate]

Oki

I'll send it to u in DMs

[edgy current]

Yes, what's your question?

[worldly adder]

I've been driving stock lol??

[polar heath]

hey sir good afternoon. I just scored top11 in my region for the current mclaren g-challenge(maple valley). But i missed the first and 2nd time trial round. Then i would have no chance for next round, am i correct?

[worldly adder]

You have to be top 6 at the end

[polar heath]

ah ic. Doesnt matter i didnt do 1st, 2nd rivals?

if i score top6 for current rivals, then im qualified enough?

[edgy current]

PTG HLC

[worldly adder]

Ohh

[worldly adder]

Yes

@edgy current turn slow mode off

[edgy current]

You can qualify in any round, all players can only qualify once. So the people who qualified round 1+2 dont count towards the standings this round.

[edgy current]

Im not that cool, but I am immune 😎

[polar heath]

ohhhhhh holy then this could mean my best shot? Cuz all the pros already qualified???

[worldly adder]

Pros

[edgy current]

It's sad we're the pros but true statement

[worldly adder]

Not me I haven't qualified yet

[polar heath]

oh u already qualified? man thats cool

[edgy current]

Pretty sure I finished 4th NA last round but we'll see when the results come out. T10 still has to verify times are legit etc.

[polar heath]

thats awesome! Ill try to keep it up. And ur profile pic also cool too, tho i dont know much about the BMW/Corvette drama!

[edgy current]

In a nut shell the bmw cut him off so the vette showed him some appreciation for the move.

[sharp ocean]

Yes I registerd for the competition 50K+

Good luck

[polar heath]

Am coming after you! 😄

[vale bear]

If there's even anyone left at T10 to verify the times. 🌚🙃

[edgy current]

My fears as well. There's still people there but theyre short staffed so we'll see.

[storm stone]

I think there are yeah even if they haven’t cleared up whatever happened, that 54s cheated time at hakone got removed at some point on tuesday/wednesday, it took a while but eventually got removed

[normal frigate]

Yeah so there are people still at T10 but how many...

[frosty thistle]

yee

[left slate]

maple is vile

https://tenor.com/view/handbrake-gif-20914326

[storm stone]

fr one moment I’m flying and the next it’s that gif lmao

[exotic quartz]

Congratulations 🎉🍾 bro

[frosty thistle]

ye

idk how ima play this one in manual lmao im nowhere near experienced enough lmao

[warm condor]

Agreed, this is not going to be easy haha

[ebon grotto]

Just found this discord/challenge, tryna put a laptime on the board rn

[ebon grotto]

Real asl one lap im cooking next lap im in a wall hahaha

[storm stone]

exactly

I’m still trying to fly through every corner but then there are those 2 that I’m figuring out and go into at snail pace

[ebon grotto]

The best way I can describe those two is super wide hairpins I can’t get the braking quite right either I’m too hard on the breaks and loose time or I overcook it and go wide

[storm stone]

You get me

[frosty thistle]

exactly

[edgy current]

Ive been ebraking in 2nd while rolling throttle. Then quick shifting 3rd.

Car's all about engine braking

[novel plover]

What’s top time on Maple right now?

[valid minnow]

Any drifters in here?

[ebon grotto]

Ok gotcha, I’ve been trail braking late into those corners to try to preserve momentum, but I’ll try braking a bit earlier and downshifting earlier

[edgy current]

Brake less and engine brake more 👍

[ebon grotto]

[late belfry]

My top time is 1:08:713 I’m pretty sure

It’s in the 1:08 tho

[peak iris]

What is your ranking on the g challenge qualifier 3 ?

I am 337/3934 with 1:08,412
My god this is really hard , the #1 racer is 1:05,883 i dont Even know how that’s possible 🤣

[quasi drum]

Who is going to post the first 1:04 🤔

[novel plover]

Not it

[late belfry]

I don’t own the McLaren f1 car though so I can’t tune it. I just rent it

[clever osprey]

Same I keep forgetting to buy it

[late belfry]

I’m to broke bruh.

[clever osprey]

Just do online races you can make like 50-100k every time if you do good

[late belfry]

How do you know if you qualify for the race

And how do you qualify

[clever osprey]

Just go to race and then featured multiplayer

[late belfry]

No I’m talking about the g challenge, I know you have to have a fast lap time but how do they rank it? Top 10? Top 20?

[clever osprey]

Ohhhh my bad I’m not sure about that

[late belfry]

Ah ok and you’re good

[storm stone]

top 5 per region just north america that’s top 6
idk about race days but it’s all in #1304143955079725168

[frosty thistle]

wait were allowed to tune it

and if ye does anyone know a good tune? im new so got no idea whats a good setup ive just been running stock lmao even though i bought the car

[simple furnace]

I thought you couldn't tune?

I mean I keep forgetting to buy the car too, but I thought tuning wasn't allowed anyway?

[frosty thistle]

ye thats what i though

[storm stone]

yeah it’s stock only
some “have” the tune icon on lb but it’s forced stock

[late belfry]

Bruh

[frosty thistle]

oh k thx

[late belfry]

How do people get 1:05

It’s literally impossible on stock tune. It’s either that or my line just sucks

[frosty thistle]

these ppl are very skilled lmao idk if yall actually are or im just very incompetent 😂

[late belfry]

I’ve almost got my time down to 1:07

[simple furnace]

Ah okay brilliant thanks!

[frosty thistle]

my best time last qualifier was like a 1:00.8 smthin

[late belfry]

I’ve promised my mom and dad I would qualify😭

[late belfry]

ON MAPLE?!

[frosty thistle]

no no

[late belfry]

Oh

[simple furnace]

Imagine lol

[frosty thistle]

sry i meant last stage

[late belfry]

Bruh I would crash

[simple furnace]

Ohhh boy the amount of times I crashed final corner....

[frosty thistle]

if i by some miracle got that i would go by a lottery ticket

[late belfry]

My fastest time on Hakone was 58 or 59

[frosty thistle]

impressive

[late belfry]

FR

[frosty thistle]

honestly i just didnt have enough time to practice and am new to the game so couldnt do any better

[storm stone]

as tricky as some maple corners might be I think hakone was um. tougher to get the right line
but what do I know

[simple furnace]

I got a 56.550 on Hakone in the final 10 minutes of the qualifying round, I was stuck on 56.8s and 9s for ages

[frosty thistle]

cuz i did improve 3 seconds on the last day so it was mostly just me not having practice time otherwise i wudve gotten around that

[late belfry]

Bruh my fastest time on maple is 1:08:552

[simple furnace]

Woah well done

[late belfry]

Nice🔥

[simple furnace]

3s that is crazy

[frosty thistle]

ye but not even sub minute lol

still suprised myself lmao

[late belfry]

Bro how do yall get such fast lap time on maple🤣

[simple furnace]

Yeah sheesh, 3s that is crazy

[frosty thistle]

it seems quite hard

[late belfry]

It’s always the amphitheater and the hill part that gets me

[frosty thistle]

so many curves and turns and crap i only tried it for like 15 minutes cuz i did a whole day sesion of hakone yesterday and was so tired when maple started

[late belfry]

If amphitheater wasnt there my fastest time would be at least 1:07 or maybe high 1:06

[simple furnace]

Yes agreed tbh, specifically the final 4 or 5 corners

I haven't had much time on Maple yet

[frosty thistle]

honestly if they just had hakone again i think i could get closer to qualifying

but with maple i dont think i have a chance

[simple furnace]

Managed to get to 1st for about 30 minutes though lol, I was one of the first ones to do a lap 🤣

[late belfry]

Oh fr if hakone was still here I would probably have qualified

I kept getting way better on hakone

[simple furnace]

(APAC)

[frosty thistle]

that last weird swerve on to the straight is kinda hard for me to manage without a good line

[late belfry]

It’s just that last turn I’m telling you😭

[simple furnace]

Agreed, gotta keep the throttle 100% the whole time I figured out

Not easy to do though, sometimes understeer quite badly

[late belfry]

I tried but I kept crashing

[frosty thistle]

ye thats what ive been doing but just gotta nail the angle

i actually did it once but you have to be so careful on the turning

otherwise ull clip of track or spin out

[late belfry]

Do you guys have ABS and TCS on?

[frosty thistle]

i think so

[late belfry]

I do

[frosty thistle]

without abs especially i was struggling

[late belfry]

My brakes always lock up if I don’t use abs

[simple furnace]

No, I think turning TCS off will help, at least put it to sport I'd say

[late belfry]

Alr thanks

[simple furnace]

Yeah ABS can be hard to manage

I think on wheel ABS is far easier than controller (I am on wheel)

[frosty thistle]

i had exams like first half of hakone and was playing the game and on my console and with a controller all for the first time so i think i have a better chance on maple but its a much harder track

[storm stone]

I got everything off but it’s not like I’m not slamming into walls or digging my grave

[frosty thistle]

lol

[simple furnace]

I initially thought assists weren't allowed so I even turned racing line off (normally have it on for FM)

[storm stone]

just keep on trying and try not to be too hard on yourself (says I who was being super hard on myself,)

[frosty thistle]

lol

[storm stone]

track limits don’t count as an assist apparently, braking line does but the veterans know this better than I do

[late belfry]

Do you guys use stability control

[frosty thistle]

lol im kinda happy with how ive progressed orignially i was struggling even with heavy assits now i can run with pretty much just abs and tcs

[late belfry]

I don’t

[storm stone]

sheds too much speed

[simple furnace]

That is exactly true. In the last 15 minutes I almost went to do something else rather than try to improve my lap, however I gave it ago and I improved to a (I think not 100% as results aren't out) spot in the final for APAC.

[late belfry]

Yeah that’s what I think

[frosty thistle]

ye honestly chill have fun and you can do alot better

[simple furnace]

Exactly I wasn't pressuring myself to improve and then the lap came and I got it

[frosty thistle]

before yesterday i could not get a clean lap on hakone and then i got so many straight laps and severly reduced my time

[simple furnace]

Well played! Shows that more you try the better you can get!

[simple furnace]

100% really good progression! Didn't see this msg somehow lol.

[frosty thistle]

also focusing on the prize helps😂

[simple furnace]

Yes lol 🤣

[frosty thistle]

lol thank you

cuz that setup would be epic

[late belfry]

Is the 50,000$ that you win in the game or irl

[frosty thistle]

wasnt 50k last years prize

and this years is the mclaren trip and whole setup

[late belfry]

Oh I thought it was 50k

[simple furnace]

I think last year was 100k. Don't remember exactly.

[late belfry]

GOLLY

[simple furnace]

But that is split between all regions iirc.

[late belfry]

my parents would be so happy if I won that😭

Bruh idc what I win I just want a wheel

I have one at my moms just not here

[storm stone]

it’s the total in cash+gear+trips if I understand correctly

[simple furnace]

What wheel do you have?

[late belfry]

A thrustmaster

[simple furnace]

Ah yes that makes sense

[late belfry]

Idk which model

[frosty thistle]

the fact that most people are on controller and a console that is like 700 bucks at highest and you could win 100k is wild

[late belfry]

It broke tho

[frosty thistle]

ye i think so cuz i read through the whole terms and conditions and never saw anything about 50k cash

[simple furnace]

Nice! I have a MOZA R3. I could have gotten the R5 but the R3 was on sale for $400 NZD less than the R5 including shipping so it was a no brainer really.

[frosty thistle]

dayum nice

[simple furnace]

Ah darn

[late belfry]

That’s why I want a new one bc the thing that holds it broke and it doesn’t have force feedback

It was like 250$

If not 350$

[simple furnace]

USD?

[late belfry]

Yes

[frosty thistle]

i wanna get a wheel but i dont have a monitor and my desk isnt exactly stable plus i play on my tv so i dont know where id mount it lmao

[simple furnace]

Ohh I read this wrong, a wheelstand you mean?

[frosty thistle]

its a nice tv but the mounting is still a problem lol

[late belfry]

Oooh yeah speaking of that I don’t use a actually mount I use a table and mount the wheel to that

[late belfry]

Yes the wheelstand broke

[simple furnace]

Ah that makes more sense on the price, I thought "How could a wheel with no force feedback be $250 - $350 USD?"

[frosty thistle]

oh lmao i had the same question

also isnt 250 for a wheel stand way to much or is it like a whole chassis with a chair

[late belfry]

It doesn’t have a chair it’s just a wheel and pedals

Idk why it was so expensive

[simple furnace]

I gotta get a currency conversion I can't work with USD lol

[frosty thistle]

odd

ive seen em like 100-150

[late belfry]

I don’t have a “real” setup. I just got a small table and a chair and mounted the wheel to the table

[simple furnace]

$250 is $415 for me so that does seem odd

[late belfry]

I might’ve got ripped off💔

[frosty thistle]

i mean if the height is fine the chair and table are stable thats all you really need

[late belfry]

The table is NOT stable

[simple furnace]

That would get the Next Level Racing Wheelstand 2.0 quite nicely (around $250 USD)

[frosty thistle]

what currency are you?

[late belfry]

That chair is fine tho

[simple furnace]

NZD (New Zealand Dollars)

[frosty thistle]

ohhh

[frosty thistle]

ye my thoughts exactly

i think you may have overspent @late belfry

unless you got a really nice one lol

[late belfry]

It’s nice but it doesn’t have force feedback

And it just broke bc my brother fell on it somehow💔

[frosty thistle]

oof

[simple furnace]

Ohhh noo

[frosty thistle]

wait the wheel was included in the stand?

[late belfry]

I don’t have a wheelstand guys I didn’t mean to confuse you sorry.

[simple furnace]

Ohh, no worries 👍

[late belfry]

The wheel has a clamp that you screw to things like a wheelstand tho

[frosty thistle]

ohhh ok nvm 250 dollars is actually about avg then

[simple furnace]

Ahhhh okay

[frosty thistle]

lol i was genuinley worried for ur bank account

[late belfry]

I just want a Logitech bc they are nice and have force feedback

[late belfry]

LOL

[frosty thistle]

im doing like those onlien surveys to try and save for one

[simple furnace]

Are you on XBOX, PC or PS?

[frosty thistle]

the kind of depressing thing is most wheels are like as much as i spent on my xbox if not more

[late belfry]

Guys I overpriced the wheel by like 150$

It’s only 120

[late belfry]

Xbox

[simple furnace]

Yep exactly, I used to have an Xbox before I switched to PC, the Xbox was like $800 NZD from memory. I got my wheel for $600 NZD on sale, normally $900 NZD iirc.

[frosty thistle]

bahahahahaahah lmao ok thats actually decent for a no force feedback wheel i guess

[late belfry]

Look up thrust master terrain 458 spider wheel that’s what I have

[simple furnace]

Ah nice, a lot of choices for wheels on Xbox

[late belfry]

It came with pedals and a wheel

[frosty thistle]

lmao thats even more depressing im thinking on the cheaper side with a series s and g920 lmao

[simple furnace]

Ah yes this

[late belfry]

Yeah I got it like a Christmas or two ago

I need a new one bad😭

[simple furnace]

The G920 is great, I had it for about 7 years before I switched to MOZA.

[late belfry]

That’s why I’m tryna qualify

[frosty thistle]

oh ya

[frosty thistle]

me too lol

theres also the luck aspect which is monthly

[late belfry]

I’m trying to persuade my mother into buying me a Logitech

[simple furnace]

I 100% recommend the G920, however if you can afford a MOZA R3 I'd seriously recommend it. If the G920 is what you can afford though it is still an amazing wheel!

As I said I had mine for 7 years and it was great

[late belfry]

But then I was playing Forza one day and saw the g challenge and read the description and I was like,”NO WAY.” so I started racing and did better than I thought would

[frosty thistle]

ye i just mentioned the 920 cuz i wasnt sure how much more expensive the moza is

when i do go for it ill probably go moza just assumed g920 cuz it comes with the wheels or does the moza also

[simple furnace]

I think MOZA in the US is $299 USD. Not sure about the Logitech.

[frosty thistle]

does it come with the pedals?

[simple furnace]

Both do

[frosty thistle]

ohh then im deff gonna consider that

its around the same price but im deff not getting it any time soon but itll be fun when i do

[simple furnace]

(For MOZA only the R3 and R5 bundle come with pedals.)

[simple furnace]

Yes they are really fun!

[late belfry]

At f1 I’m REALLY good at so I’m getting into GT racing and f1

[simple furnace]

Nice!

[frosty thistle]

ohhh damn the g920s on sale cuz prime day its like 319 cad

[late belfry]

Oh holdup

[frosty thistle]

nice

ohh moza deff is more its like 360 usd with the pedals

[simple furnace]

Oh nice, I never shop with amazon mainly because shipping is normally crazy to NZ

[frosty thistle]

ah lol fair enough

[simple furnace]

Is Prime day a big sale I assume?

[frosty thistle]

apparently

[simple furnace]

Once a year thing?

[frosty thistle]

i got a mouse for 30 cad off and got it for free cuz surveys

[simple furnace]

Oh okay is that the R3?

[frosty thistle]

i think so

[simple furnace]

Woah nice!

[frosty thistle]

yep

[simple furnace]

Ah okay

[simple furnace]

Oh that has gone up quite a bit then

[frosty thistle]

ye and its on their website and says its on sale lmao

is regularly 400 usd

[simple furnace]

Oh wow, that is way more than I thought

[frosty thistle]

yeee

how much did you get yours for?

[simple furnace]

Around $650 NZD I'll convert currency rq

$390 USD

[frosty thistle]

ye lol so the same

[simple furnace]

Everything here generally goes up compared to the US

[frosty thistle]

i think you may have gaslighted urself so you forgot the monetary damage

gaslit*

[simple furnace]

Sorry idk what you mean by that lol

[late belfry]

Guys, on the turn right after the farm house on maple valley what is the go to line

Because I am struggling there

[simple furnace]

Oh wow the R3 is now $698 normal price now

[frosty thistle]

you convinced urself it was cheaper so it didnt hurt ur mental health lol😂

[simple furnace]

$419 US

[frosty thistle]

ye

[simple furnace]

Ahhh yes lol 🤣

[frosty thistle]

inflation is depressing

[simple furnace]

It has gone down is what I meant, used to be $799

[simple furnace]

However for everything else (bar MOZA R3 apparently??) agreed.

[frosty thistle]

ohhh

thats good then lol

[simple furnace]

Still $799 at some stores though

[simple furnace]

Yes lol

[frosty thistle]

ideally gotta win the lotto and buy an f1 grade sim

plus an actualy formula car😂

[simple furnace]

iracing subscription, then pay for a bunch of cars and tracks on top of the subscription lol

[late belfry]

Guys I have a question

On the turn right after you get done with the farmhouse section on maple valley what do you guys do because I struggle there

[frosty thistle]

that for the max verstappen grade sim then also the multi million dollar cockpit with large room covering screen and real physics sim

[frosty thistle]

i havent played maple valley much yet so cant help but good luck

[simple furnace]

🤣

[late belfry]

Alright thanks

[simple furnace]

I actually don't know where that is on the track lol

Ohh the uphill one?

[frosty thistle]

is it like one of the large curves

[simple furnace]

I really struggle with that corner

[simple furnace]

hmm, I'd have to get on the game to find out. Not able to play currently.

[frosty thistle]

ye

anyways have a good night i have some stuff to do good luck with your times

[simple furnace]

Have a good night! 😃

[storm stone]

catching up with you Zach went about 4s faster following your ghost

[normal frigate]

@edgy current Got a 1:06.368, about a tenth off u

[storm stone]

at least maple isn’t the nightmare I thought it was going to be, just gotta nail the amphitheater

[normal frigate]

Yeah. It's quite easy, just need momentum

Gained 8 tenths off my old time last year when they first did this.

[warm condor]

Damn thats good, I'm still down in the 01:07.600s at least this seems a bit more forgiving than Hakone

[leaden grail]

https://forza.net/leaderboards/logitech-mclaren-g-challenge-qualifier-2-rivals-202507 the results from Hakone are here

but they count the people with abs on and tc on. A liitle unfair for us that we go by the logitech rules .

[frosty thistle]

there was nothing against abs or tc in the rules

[leaden grail]

The following gameplay rules will be used for all tournament races.
Force off STM: On
Force off TCS: On
Highest Shifting Assist Allowed: Manual
Highest Steering Assist Allowed: Normal
Highest Braking Assist Allowed: ABS Off
Force off Throttle Assist: On

[frosty thistle]

r u sure thats not for the finals or something

ye i just checked thats for the finals

not for the qualifiers

[leaden grail]

"Each qualification stage in Forza Motorsport Rivals will feature a set vehicle and track. Additional rules and restrictions, such as allowed assists and track conditions, will be displayed directly within in-game menus.
Qualifier #1:
Car: 1988 McLaren #12 Honda McLaren MP4/4
Track: Circuit of Spa-Francorchamps
Qualifier #2
Car: 1988 McLaren #12 Honda McLaren MP4/4
Track: Hakone Full Circuit
Qualifier #3:
Car: 1988 McLaren #12 Honda McLaren MP4/4
Track: Maple Valley"

But only track conditions and car setup was displayed in the game. Nothing for the assisting input. does quilification(not qualification round but qualification of the driver) is part of the tournament ? the phrase says: "The following gameplay rules will be used for all tournament races."

It is time based race. Winning andvance you to the semifinals directly. So word by word results that qualification tracks are part of the tournament. Never got under 20th place so It doesn't realy matter but for someone that got 6th in europe maybe can use it for challenging the results. Max Verstappen certainly would exploited that 🤣

[frosty thistle]

i think qualifier doenst technically fall under race umbrella

ye that would be quite hard to challenge cuz its what very specific finals details are listed under

sry don't mean to be rude i just love nitpicking technicalities and it doesn't really work here

[leaden grail]

lets play a little with the words. In the Rivals Can Logitech enforced Tc or abs in the settings of the user? Or can see it only after the time has been submited ?

[frosty thistle]

wdym

[leaden grail]

Like the setup of the car and track conditions

[frosty thistle]

i think they can force somethings without u having control like tuning but im not sure how that would work for settings that are user controlled at any time

i think thats why its for the finals cuz correct me if im wrong i think its held in person where they can make sure you dont adjust them or anything

[leaden grail]

Never mind what I wanted to say is that if Logitech wanted those settings to be off in the qualifications tracks techinally would be impposible for the them to do it. So playing with them on isn't clear if it was suppose those to be on

[frosty thistle]

i mean it was clearly allowed because all assit times still showed in the list

[novel plover]

You can leave the assists on during qualifying but you wouldn’t be doing yourself any favors. If you end up qualifying they get forced off for the race, so you’d basically be driving a different car. My advice would be to turn everything off aside from the braking line until you’re used to the track, then practice with that line off. You’d be surprised at how quickly you can adjust

[frosty thistle]

ye

[edgy current]

Im not even sure if its possible but we'll see what bowkett does when he gets bored.

Also holy chat popping off last night!

[frosty thistle]

lol we had a whole convo trying to figure out wether someone was talking about a wheel or its stand and discussing best priced whees n stuff

wheels*

[novel plover]

Bruh. I am STRUGGLING rn. Maple might actually drive me insane

[edgy current]

Good stuff Sauce, keep it up! I plan on getting a 1:05 so hopefully you beat me to it 🍻

[edgy current]

Hardest part for me is carrying speed over the crest of the uphill right before the downhill.

[edgy current]

They can definitely have them turned off, the devs setup the rivals boards. Either way you can use assists to qualify but theyre forced off in the race. Since it's forced stock, the finals will be medium tires and 100% fuel.

[novel plover]

I’m just not consistent. Literally all over the place. It’s still new and all but this is def the worst start I’ve ever had with these comps. Like, scary bad

[edgy current]

When this first came up with the McLaren senna I was like 1.5 seconds off pace. It wasnt until I practiced for finals I figured it out. The time's deceiving.

To me most of the skill gap comes down to carrying the speed through 3 main corners. T2, the hair pin, and coming over the hill. Focus on those 👍

Also skip lap is about .1 slower first sector.

Im taking T2 flat btw

https://tenor.com/view/larry-enticer-send-it-just-gif-13099040

[novel plover]

T2 is gonna be the death of me. Flat out is the way, just need that line.
Ima have 5 mins in penalties in the race (if I’m in) lmao

[edgy current]

Fm4 grass line, peep my ghost. Even if you partial lift its about as fast. Just have to commit to the entry. Turn in point is kind of ambiguous which makes hit hard to hit consistent.

[novel plover]

Yeah I’m chasing you now. I’m like 4 tenths off

[frosty thistle]

entering turn 2 is kind of anoyying but with a good line it shud be easy hopefully

[normal frigate]

Yeah I'm not getting a 05 😭

[frosty thistle]

didnt u guys qualify last round?

[normal frigate]

Me? No

[frosty thistle]

oh then gl

[normal frigate]

Thx, but I'm too young to qualify since it's 16+ 😭

[frosty thistle]

lol ye i made hakone by like 2 weeks cuz of that

if u dont mind me asking how long did it take you to get like this level good at the game

im fairly new only been playing two weeks

[normal frigate]

Uhhhhhhhhhh.

Been playing Forza for 6 years now, started when I was 8 in April 2019

[frosty thistle]

oook then lol

ill check back in 2031

[exotic quartz]

Top time in valley?

[edgy current]

Ya Im pretty sure, not official yet.

[edgy current]

1:05.8? Something like that.

[frosty thistle]

didnt they release the leaderboards already?

[frosty thistle]

im so used to the hakone times now that this seems feesible even tho it deffinitley is not for me lol

[exotic quartz]

I come back the next week!!!

If I remember well already, I have 1.5.8 or 9 in the end of 23 when I reach for my first time in LMGC with McLaren MP4/4

With controller then

[edgy current]

I havent seen them yet but T10 has to verify the times are legit before its official.

Last I looked ~a day ago they only had the Round 1 board up.

[novel plover]

Round 2 is up

[edgy current]

Oh sweet, hopefully that means we'll get an announcement soon. 🤞

[frosty thistle]

nice

gl

[storm stone]

honestly I only figured that out following you but at first when I watched your replay my brain just. “how???”
I got it now tho

[storm stone]

waiting for your laps bro 🙌

[exotic quartz]

Thnx bro appreciate that!

[edgy current]

Glad to be of service

[storm stone]

always helpful lol now I just have to catch up after the amphitheater

fairly good start for me imo unlike… hakone… I still see the walls…

[round wigeon]

Dose any one know why my g29 isn’t connecting to my ps5 ?

[exotic quartz]

Check for Upgrade first

If you don’t see anything https://discord.com/channels/1110612021877153902/1259922462238310511

Do a reset your console

[round wigeon]

It says up to date

On wheel and ps5

[exotic quartz]

Yes check it if doesn’t work https://discord.com/channels/1110612021877153902/1259922462238310511

[round wigeon]

I have made a support ticket just waiting

[exotic quartz]

Ok do a reset on your ps5 and check to clean up the holes

[round wigeon]

K

[round wigeon]

Why dose the support take soo long

[sonic owl]

I think there exists a slightly faster line where you lift for like a microsecond right during turn in, seems to load you up with grip and not send you as far out in my expereince

[exotic quartz]

Look at Spam E-Mails

[edgy current]

I had roughly the same splits doing both, definitely both viable. I agree there might be an extra couple hundreths if you partial lift to open the diff on entry.

[sonic owl]

lifting is far more consistent for me at least

[edgy current]

.03 or .04 give or take, on the split. If it carries more speed then itd compound down the straight

[sonic owl]

currently running a 1:06:771

Im losing all my time on T1 funny enough

that and t5 im struggling with

[edgy current]

Ya that ones rough, sometimes I just engine brake other times its ebrake, depends on how lucky I get on entry lol

[sonic owl]

Top lap times in my region use about 50% brake pressure and down shift twice and carry the speed throuh, I just cant seem to turn as tight as them

[restive moon]

I'm looking for server staff and server helpers who have atleats 1y+ experience with running a server add me if your interested

[edgy current]

Ya drop 3rd to engine brake but if you ebrake right you can throttle out sooner.

[sonic owl]

My ebrake is on a button so thats a no go for me LMFAO

[edgy current]

Youre braking too much and not exagerating the engine brake effect enough if I had to guess.

[sonic owl]

for sure

[edgy current]

Mine is too, just tap it in.

[sonic owl]

huh, never though of that

Only started sim racing like 6 months ago so im still learning tricks n what not

[edgy current]

https://tenor.com/view/tappy-tap-tap-taparoo-adam-sandler-gif-11400809

[edgy current]

Its not easy to do at first but you need to learn it if youre shooting for the stars. One of those unrealistic forza quirks.

[sonic owl]

I see

[sonic owl]

i cannot believe how effective this is at getting the nose around wtf

its litterally just a "press to turn a little bit tighter" button

[dry palm]

Hi guys how can we look a the leader bord

[sonic owl]

Go to the rivals playlist, and click the leaderboard button

[dry palm]

On Forza or in the discord?

[edgy current]

Forza 👍

[dry palm]

Do I get a chance to participate to the race if I start today the Qualifier?

Like is it the end of the world if I miss the first 2 qualifiers

[edgy current]

You can only qualify in one of the three so you're fine.

Sign up form, rules, and the terms & conditions are in #1304143955079725168

[dry palm]

Ok good thanks

I am sign up and I did my lap is it registered?

[edgy current]

If you filled out the form and pressed submit, then set a time in a game, you're good. 🍻

[royal swallow]

does any1 knoe how to fix my steering wheel being off centre

[woven estuary]

When the results of second qualify came out?

[exotic quartz]

They need first to see the lap time in few days normally!

[white crypt]

Which forza motorsport is the comp? The 1st one?

[dry palm]

The new one there’s no number
