I made a bad move picking a poor Loaner car. This next event will be another Autocross, this time in B class. No more C class domination with my Mustang.



Type of Challenge: Autocross
Location: Hockenheim
Car: Any BNB car tuned to C class. No Race Slicks, No Forza Aero.
Deadline: Sept 13 2012 - Sept 19 2012


This week's Challenge takes place on Hockenheim. C Class BNB Cars only. Feel free to adjust your combination of parts on your BNB car to meet the C class restriction. If you do not have an eligible BNB car, BMW has loaned us a 1986 BMW M635CSi. If you decide to race the BMW, the only adjustment allowed is tire pressures.

From your career menu:

-Euro Autocross C class (its in 5th column from the right)
-Hockenhiem
-If you want to race the BMW, you must buy it in career mode.


How to Enter
Simply take a photo of your race results and post the photo to enter. Like so:



You can update your entry as many times as you want until the deadline. Please only use one post for your time entries. If you set a faster time, edit your original entry post to update the images and time.

2nd Place - $3,500

Side Competition Bonus!

This is a fun course and its run at sunrise on Hockenheim, great for some gorgeous photos. Take a photo of yourself running the course (A Forza Photo, not a camera phone photo like how you post times lol), and you will recieve a $1,000 bonus if you post my favorite photo! A few rules:

1. I will pick my favorite photo. Just easier that way.
2. I might post a photo for fun, but can't pick myself as teh winnar!
3. Top 3 fastest drivers are not eligible to win the side Photo Competition. Lets spread dat money around!

Lol, I quiclky dropped my Volvo down to C class with the parts I have and tried this out.
Blimey some of those cones are tight. I might need to buy some race brakes.

This is one of my favorite autocross courses, some of the tight hairpins are great for kicking the rear end out. Not the fastest way, but it IS fun to try and keep from hitting the barrels.

I switched up the loaner car, I didnt want to make it TOO easy

I'll go drive the loaner car first as well.
Will need some time to remove upgrades from my FR-S anyway.

Thanks for this event, retro!

I am pretty sure the course is run at sunrise, so makes for some great photos.

How about a side bonus photocomp?! To keep it simple I'll pick the winner, won't pick any of the top 3 fastest drivers photo's, and I can't pick my own photo.

Say, a $1,000 prize.


That sounds good, I'll add it to the first post.

Spoiler:

First run; done!

This car is pretty hard for Auto-X.. Large and swervy..
Will try to keep competing with this one, though.

@retro:
Good idea! I had that same feature in my Time-Trial for a while but no one seemed to take photo's so I took it out.
Let's hope you have more success!

@everyone:
New Time-Trial event will be up shortly!

I guess I went to the other end of the rental car spectrum. Last time was light and nimble, this ones a little big and boaty.

1991 M3 might have been the obvious choice but this is fun and challenging :]

This was my trial effort with one cone down.
This is my worst nightmare, look at it!

Or that Cosworth Sierra is reallly nice stock.


I stuck with C class again this time because I thought it was pretty fun last time. I am a little biased as I have a good C class tune on my car now. If you want to see B class in the future, speak up!

I was thinking 09 John Cooper Works, to keep it German ;]

Wish we had the original Mini Cooper

Maybe it will appear at the Horizon festival O:

ill stay out of this, auto-X isnt my thing on here ill do a run and get a pic for the participation tho

That damn volvo in a course like that makes me want to smack my face into a brick wall... B2B **** Use the Scooob **** Though, I dont think it can even get to the C class.

Actually, those Volvo are pretty rad in Auto-X ;]

Ha-ha, yeah, checked that. The 2011 can't go to C, but if we can shop up a Legacy it might.
Swapping the Volvo back to FWD with the parts I have to see what it can do.

My Time



and me rockin it slide ways

I didnt even notice till yesterday, the C class autocross is not set at sunrise, oh well.

I need to give it a shot today with my BNB car, I ran the B class rivals event this weekend here, its a challenging course, there are a few gates I was hitting nearly every time.

How long till this closes? I want to try again :]

open till thursday, probably will let it run till thursday evening my time again.

Man we had a better turnout last event, maybe I need to provide a better loaner car next time. Considering one with a couple upgrades...

I ran a 3:01.882 on my first clean run with the stang, bring it

I'm gonna try this now.

What's the rules for upgrading in C class?

EDIT: Found it.

I tried, I know I will get schooled later today but it was my 5th run. I also suck at Auto-X.

@retro:
Better loaner car would be appreciated ;]
I don't have a competitive C-Class to assault your time with :B
