Inspired by Top Gear’s “Star in a Reasonably Priced Car” segment, I figured we could have our own little challenge here…
and since Forza 4 for the 360 has both the Top Gear test track AND the Suzuki Liana and the Kia Cee’D…
…I see three mini-events on the Top Gear Test Track (full circuit)
The basic rules are;
No “Rewind”
No assists other than ABS, as most “RPC” have it now
Simulation steering
Manual transmission (both of Top Gear’s RPC are manuals)
One practice lap
Start from a dead stop
Event One; drive the TGTT in the Suzuki Liana, record your time
Event Two; drive the Kia Cee’D, record your time
Event Three; drive your car (or it’s closest approximation), record your time
Your car can be either your current or any of your past cars that are in the game, for me that would be the Dodge SRT-4 (I owned a Neon, which the SRT-4 is based on) and the Saturn Ion Redline (I own a base model Ion-2)
Event One; Liana results 1:53.089 seconds
Event Two; Cee’D results 1:52.057 seconds
Event Three; Saturn Ion results; 1:42.195 seconds
Bonus Event; Dodge SRT-4 results; 1:39.568 seconds
Comedy Event; AM General Hummer H1; 1:59.775 (at least 1/4 of this was off-road, and the Hummer tagged the tire wall near the 747 
)
