[FH3] Automation Hot Lap Challenge!

So, the idea here is a Weekly/Bi-weekly Rivals based event, where a theme and Route is picked (among other restrictions.) and the winner gets to pick the next rule set.

So, shall we begin with Week one?

GENERIC AND CONSTANT RULE: LAPTIME MUST BE CLEAN

##Feels Like Group A


  • Route: Surfers Paradise Three Bridge Circuit

  • Class: B

  • Championship: Retro Saloon
    *Extra Rules: NaN


All you need to do is post your time, and the car used, and I’ll create some kind of leader-board.

Good Luck, Have Fun!

Document will be updated, and previous rounds will be kept.

I don’t really know what constitutes a Classic Rally car. Could you give us some pointers?

It’s just the Classic Rally class used for racing.

79’ Talbot Sunbeam Lotus - 2:24.912

2:20.679 - '77 Ford Escort RS1800
I feel like this is very quickly becoming the domain of the uber-fast AWD turbos.

Are we allowed to keep trying for a better lap? I get very competetive

Sure, but I’ll limit it to 2 more (3 total), and you must use the same car.

Seems fair

2:16.270 - Lancia Fulvia
oh yeah and thats still fwd

I would suggest adding a rule.

Your laptime needs to be valid.

Did 2:24:688 with the Ford Escort RS1800

True. I’ll add that as a constant rule.

Well, my 2nd completed run ended with a time of 02:21.074 in my mini.

Okay, so I’m gonna move the leader board to a google sheet, so I can have the past Rounds as separate sheets.

Got my 2nd and 3rd runs in.
3rd run
2:13.439 - '77 Escort RS1800

Oh my gamer tag is XBILL THE HOBOX

Ok second attempt I got a 2:20.440

This is killing me, I just can’t get better than that, the car is just way too bouncy

Bit late on getting the next round sorted, but @BailsMackenzie, If you would be so kind as to put forward the next rule set and we can get on with it (Goliath is banned for track)

Have you updated my final time of 2:20.440?

I’ll be getting around to it soon.

Righto, here’s the next round then.

Feels like Group A

  • Route: Surfers Paradise Three Bridge Circuit

  • Class: B

  • Championship: Retro Saloon

  • Extra Rules: None


I’d have loved to really screw you guys over with some real life Group A rules, but I won’t go too crazy.

My time: 1:09:743 (1986 BMW M635 CSI)
