Horizon Touge - Today, Oct 28 - 8:00PM EDT

So, I want to do some Horizon racing, and since BNB isn't set up for that yet, I thought I'd do my own.

Only way I can think to do it is Free Roam. So max, 8 people. We'll pair off and race touge style (chase/follow, try not to be passed or fall behind). We'll change who we're battling with until we get bored.

Rules - Since BNB-Horizon hasn't started, use whatever you want, this is for fun and all.

Cars must be "street legal", so US license plate required. B500 max PI. Aero/Appearance is free; Tires/Wheels are free except max compound is "street"; Engine is free except no "Race" parts, except flywheel which is free, Platform/Handling is free except max brakes are "street", max chassis reinforcement is "sport" and max weight reduction is "sport"; Drivetrain is free except only diff and driveline may be "race" (all other max are "sport"); Conversions are free as well.

The route will be from the South Beaumont Outpost to the Iron Bridge (intersection just past the Route 24 Speed Zone). We'll group up/spawn at South Beaumont, pair off, and go in intervals of about 10 seconds, rolling in tandem at about 50mph to the Bondurant Super GP where the battle will start. After you finish, follow the rather direct route North back to the South Beaumont Outpost to regroup. Each battle will have at least two heats, so each guy can lead.

The emphasis will be on driving clean and having fun. If we want, once we get the hang of it, we'll do some real street touges with maybe $100 buyin for each driver, winner take all. Also, if our benevolent moderators are generous, maybe we'll have some kind of participation bonus, give guys some walking' around money to bet on some touge battles?

Other potential routes are Finley Dam Outpost to HORIZON Presents The Wind Tunnel, and Kettle Hill Outpost to Fatlace Chase.

Edit - Added Class/PI and allowed race flywheel and driveline to make maxing PI limit a little easier.

This will be my entry:

Toyota Sprinter Trueno (AE86)
Origin Street Wing and Origin Street Hood (Fiberglass)
Street Tires, 205F, 225R, 15", Wedsport TC 105 N (Flat Gray)
Sport Intake, Street Fuel, Street Ignition, Sport Exhaust, Turbo Conversion with Sport Turbo, Sport Oil and Cooling, Street Flywheel
Street Brakes, Race Springs and Dampers, Race Anti-Roll Bars F&R, Sport Chassis Reinforcement, Sport Weight Reduction
Sport Clutch, Sport Transmission, Street Driveline, Race Diff

Cool, I will try to hop on around 7 to get my setups built to spec. Will have either a 71 cuda or miata ready to go. I'll send you a FR when I log in.

I'm on now scouting possible routes if anybody is interested.

There is a really nice area at the top right part of the map.

I'm building some A600 cars too, in case it gets boring. These roads just aren't squiggly enough for most cars. Game is made for supercars and keeping on the gas.

^^ true that. I should be on around 6ish EST, but will probbaly be off around 8 Ill try to catch anyone that's on that I see...

Retro, you done making good graces with Wifey?

Lol. I might be on closer to 7, lots of good movies on this weekend so we have just been kicking back. If for some reason there are only a few of us maybe we can tackle some multiplayer challenges for horizon cash.

I'm getting on again now, I can show people the routes I've come up with. Also, let's stick with B500 and street tires for now, though I think A600 with street tires at least starts to feel challenging.

shoot me a fr lainford, jumpin\g on in about 10 minutes

I'll try to hop on shortly

I'm not sure whether or not I'll be on due to me being on the GMT timezone, but I think my friend will be leaving my house soon, so I should be able to jump in a party with whoever is on, and if I'm still awake when this goes down, I'll be up for it.

We had a nearly full lobby tonight just hooning around. When people started punching out lainford and I started doing some touge runs. There is definately some potential here for some real BNB events.

Found an awesome spot by the Dam.

I reread my stupid rules above and decided they were too confusing, so I rewrote it like this:

*Drivetrain swaps that "make sense" are permitted, for example, converting a Skyline from 4WD to RWD. Those that are stupid, like making an S2000 AWD or a tC RWD are not allowed because science. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Bodyshop/Paint
Any, which the following qualifications: since we're going for street legal, put a US license plate on the back, your pick of state of registration number. I'd recommend looking up that state's guidelines and going with that, but I don't care enough to investigate. Other than that, paint/decal to your heart's content, but gratuitious obscenity, bigotry, morbidity, etc, will not be tolerated. I'll give you one warning; if you persist, then you're done, life's tough like that. Basically, if your grandmother would/would've be/been disappointed in you, don't do it.

bump.

with the "start" of Horizon BNB I dont think these should get lost, I think they are a good build spec for some in game shenanigans and racing

Fair enough, I'm out of town this weekend doing real life Motorsports, I'll be back and we can try them out a little more some evenings this week.
