Nürburgring Challenge
For all you sim racers out there, here is your chance to show off. I want you to post a video of your lap at Nordschleife (the northern loop of the Nürburgring) it is 22.8km (14.2mi) This is just a fun challenge to show off your skills.
I am using rFactor and set 30 different cars on the track. I haven't recorded one yet, but I just got my laptop working after not having one for over a month. i have my steering wheel/gas pedals and racing seat all set up with a 32" monitor. So as soon as I record a good lap, I will post it up on here!
I hope to see you all putting up your laps! Good luck :)

If i had something better than my phone to record videos then i would post one of mine on GT4 haha. The only thing that would be impressive is that i still use a controller and not a wheel
-
oh yeah? interesting :p rFactor lets you export video replays from the game directly :) ill post a picture of my racing setup in a few minutes...

Here is my setup. Yeah I know its not pretty, but its pretty good for being in Iraq. I found that seat left around an empty building and built the frame with 2x4s. Works pretty good :)

I've got exactly the same problem, so no vids of me on Forza3.
-
do your game systems not hook up to a DVR? See this is what happens when they get rid of something good like the VCR. I used to record games on my VCR all the time, but now they are useless... I dont have a DVR, but i would think you could record with it?

or a $15 USB video capture device :)

That is a good suggestion. I have done some practice laps in an E40 series BMW M3. Lot of corners to memorize but i got in under 10 minutes with having spun the car a couple times ;)

I think with Forza tho, if you have xbox live then you can save your replays and post them to the Forza website, you can do it all straight from the game.
I saved a lap time i ran in a Lotus Elan S1 with racing exhaust and a sports chip (116 hp) on GT4. My lap was a one and done (since the track is so long) in practice so i got a nice run up before the timer started at the start finish line. I ran it in 8'14.051. Prolly coulda been bettered if i ran some more laps with the ghost on and corrected some mistakes but i'd say that's not too shabby. If you really want a photo of the proof i suppose i could do that but you're gonna have to request it since it's more of a pain in the ass
-
Forza 3 will uplourde direct to the Forza site if you have live gold, you can then download them and convert to yousetube if you want - there's info on how to do that in the Forza 3 thread somewhere.
-
yep, i have plenty of vids of me and whiteballz on forza 3. mostly shenanigans and trying to break the physics engine though.

The fire extinguisher is a nice touch.

Let me make a correction. It is an E46 BMW M3. I just noticed I posted it wrong.

Thanks, I thought so. It has to be in our "chu" so i thought it looked good there :)

I was going to ask about that.. :)

All good racing cars have an extinguisher, right?
-
"cool" woudl have been an F-22 seat :) Getting it in the door might be a problem though :)
-
Ive been doing laps around the ring with the M3, Its a good handling car, but I was wondering If anyone had a particular car they wanted to see go around it? Here is a link to all the cars I have...

nice!
I don't have every car downloaded at the moment. I have the ones I like, but i can download any of them if i need to :p
Also I try to download a new car every day or so...

I have a video replay done for the BMW M3. Now just need to render it to avi and upload for youtube. that might take some time since my internet is rediculously slow... I should have it posted up by tomorrow. I hope!
-
i got the stupid video to export but the bloody audio won't play.... grrr!!! any help?
-
didn't look thru all 348 cars you have but the first page had some dandies already, how 'bout either the go-kart or the Thrust hahaha. The Thrust is my first choice.
-
sure i can try it out. anything for a laugh :p. i may have to use fraps for this replay, the built in exporter won't export audio and it tends to crash often...
-
I tried the thrust car, it comes with the salt flats... imposible to drivin on a track, it just spins the tires and blows the engine haha.
Please check back in about 12 hours, i have uploaded the video of my lap in the BMW M3 e46, however its on my laptop at home. It took about 10 hours to upload. so i have to check it when i get out of work in about 10 hours... So please check it out when i post. Ive spent many hours practicing and memorizing all the corners so i could make an interesting lap for you guys. :)

-

-
-
I was serious :( as soon as I saw centcom.mil !
I thought you guys came through one of the "standard" gateways and not direct via the mil network !!!!
-
the computer at work, which i am on right now because i work nights, is on the military network. however the one at my room is through a different service provider... I'm sure you will be ok though haha! :p
-
I used to have meetings with your spooks FD, to use our equipment for this and more.
I am certain they will be looking at every reverse dns lookup :)
-
Ok well let me know how long it takes for them to get ahold of you :p
-
... just hold on, there's someone at the door. I'll get back to you in a mi..................
-

Damn that's a shame haha, i wanted to see how many offs you'd have and what your lap time would be with that thing lol
-

wow 26 views, thats pretty sad. I was expecting more people to participate, thats ok. I was going to post another track with a different car like spa or a rally course, but i guess I won't bother haha! Good to know though. I think I'll spend more time on the flight simulator.
