Driver Of The Week (DOTW #1)

[S71NG3R]

DOTW is the fastest time set on a time trial or race event in TDU. The player has to take a picture (for consoles) or screen shot as evidence of the time.

 

The image must be a maximum size of 800 x 600 and posted when the player feels they have a winning time. You can change the picture as often as you like before the closing date. But you can only have one post with the picture so you must edit your post each time. This is to keep the thread tidy.

 

The winner at the end of the week with the fastest time can choose the next event. The only rule is the event must be different to the current DOTW event.

 

You can use any car/bike tuned that the event allows. DLC cars/bikes are also allowed unless there is a clear advantage gained

 

The event each week will be in this format:

 

Type of event | event name | map reference | race number on the Island map

Just a question ... is it an overall winner, o is there a winner for each platform? I think from what you've said, it is an overall winner, but I just want to check.

[S71NG3R]

Overall winner for now. If the times are far apart between platforms then I will change it.

So there are no rules of what car to use, that's all we have to do is do the race as fast as possible? Correct? If so this sounds like fun!

 

+ Only races we can to is a Race and Time?

[hesonly5]

Meh, can't drive in normal mode...

[Speed]

Don't know if you're planning this already, but I think it'd be cool to have like a table of top 10 times or something depending on how many people enter, just so we can see how we rank each week :)

Yes you can use any car even tuned that the race/time trial allows.

 

Correct the only races are single player race and time trials.

 

@ Speed yes I did plan to list the times see first post.

Remember to edit your post with your time pic if you want to change it. I will be scanning down the thread for posts that have been edited.

is it okay to post a reply on the thread saying that i edited my first post with a new pic?

Yes that is ok, I just don't want pages of pictures from the same person that's all. So one pic per person is easier to keep track of who is winning.

Can't wait to give this a go when I get home :D :D

[Car Freak]

Here's my try. Could probably have gone faster, but didn't have the balls to try...

I've also noticed this DOTW is also the "Show off you custom painted Shelby Daytona Coupe thread"... :p

 

<edit> here's my next few attempts...

No changing the color of the car doesn't make it faster :D:D:D

[Iced_Bullet]

Ah you noob, now I go to go beat you.

[Who]

just a suggestion... buuuuut...

 

you know how in multiplayer challenges there is an option to test drive the course (press Y for Xbox 360 users)

 

well, maybe future challenges could be based on those practice run times. this leaves the ability open to use hardcore mode aswell as normal mode, and have a split leaderboard...

 

what you think?

[ShadowGT]

Damn i thought my time was really good :( oh well i also had to deal with a bad FPS when i did my attempt.
