Post your Personal Best Thread

just ran a 4:39.194 so effin close to 38's in my EG6

^^awesome time man! i ALMOST kept up with you

im sure if there was no traffic that celica would of kept up you got crazy good traction.....

thank you king, yeah its a good car I just need to practise more since i havent raced a touge in awhile

My personal best was last year in a Lotus Elise. Used to be number 4 or 5 on the leaderboards. Somewhere in 4:31 range. All I remember was sitting in front of my screen for hours on end making run after run after run prefecting my line. Everytime I would mess up, I would restart the trial and mind you I would be doing the whole New Downhill Shibang. Let's just say, if I was going to pass you in a race, it would be in the top section of New DownHill.

Lol Lotus Elise, not the best way to be liked around here.

^This guy goes way back so it's a little too late to do anything about that now.

This was a leaderboard run wherein, I am intentionally driving an ultimatly superior car in the main hopes of setting a leaderboard time. Also, this was way back when the leadboard was flooded with Elise times. My personal best in a "non-Elise LB" was 4:32.801. Was driving a 92' Ford Escort. This would be my leadboard time, well under the top tens for the time, until I started fussing with the Lotus.

Also, I am unaware but is Forza Aero still 'shunned?' lol.

Yep, it is.

To elaborate on my previous statement; I only drove the Elise purley for setting a record leadboard time. I never drove the Elise in head to head or random lobby battles. I know several people who can vouge for me on this one.

I've been playing around with 'merican cars lately just for shiggles. It's fun trying to wrestle a heavy ass hunk of iron down the mountain. The best I've done is a 4'45"xxx in a firechicken. I've been going through a lot of cars and tunes to see if I can find a hidden gem. Whichever car I find will probably be my new touge car. I think I reached my peak with the datsun, I know I could probably squeeze a 37 out of it but I'm getting too frustrated. Time to go back to having fun.

Good luck man!

prodrifts an OG on the touge, ive never seen him in a lotus in a lobby so no worries there

The Z has a seemingly limitless potential on the mountain if, of course, you know how to tune it.

the z certainly does have great potential, my LB is a 435.608 on NDH....and i dont even hotlap

Hey prodrift! Havent seen you in a long time Imo hotlapping just for a fastest time is overrated

It's also boring as all hell. I much prefer head to head battles anyway.

It is boring, i tried to hotlap yesterday, gave it a half lap then i got off, got bored

It's never boring to me, it's STRESSING and NERVE-RACKING and I hate it! BUT it's necessary for evolution lol.

I love hotlapping. It's brings a challenge to me to beat my time when I hotlap. That's all I focus on when I hotlap.

just hot lapped for 15 mins and ran a 4:39.4XX clean in the eg on NDH i know it can run 36's

Keep going at it man!

thanks bukkaz needed a break started to get to antsy and hit to many walls on the second half of the track....

You have to play until you can't take it. That's when you start doing things by instinct and it becomes muscle memory. Same goes for real life racing too.

Yeah i agree prodrift
