UX Forza 3 Race - Ultimate Endurance Test (1/11/11) - [completed]

On January 11th, 2011, the impossible will be attempted...

This is not so much of an event as it is an announcement.

On that date, starting at 1:11pm EST, on Forza 3, the single longest race possible will be done...

50 laps... on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

Averaging about 7 minutes each lap, this race will last nearly 6 hours...

This is the longest race physically possible in Forza 3...

So, why announce it? I thought some people might be crazy enough to attend (although I doubt it). I will NOT be disappointed if no-one shows. So.. the restrictions:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Restrictions: None. anything goes.

Track: Nürburgring Nordschleife / 50 laps

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: This is a once in a life-time event; I will NEVER do this again. The longest race i've done before is 25 laps on that track in Forza 2, and even that was insane.

**The in-game credits for completing this are astronomical; expect over 1 million CR with all assists turned off.

**Just as a bonus incentive for coming, there will be a 1,000,000 CR bonus prize (where you update your garage) to each person who finishes the race (so no DNF's), regardless of position. Even if you finish in last: add 1 mill to your garage.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Results are to be posted below:

Player - Position - Total Race time - Credits Awarded

- eaustinn36 - 1st - 5:44:13 (5 hours, 44 minutes, 13 seconds) - 1,000,000 CR
- Tophat 44 - 2nd - 7:30:00 (7 hours, 30 minutes, 0 seconds) - 1,000,000 CR

- KZ Powned - Entertainment DJ - 90,000 CR
- A Chaotic GOD - Backup DJ - 10,000 CR

**NOTE: There was a lag out issue in the end, so the time posted for Tophat 44 is the PROJECTED finish time. He was only 1 lap away. Also, credits were awarded to a few others for entertainment reasons.

*This is not an official Forza event, so attendance is not required.

Hope to see everyone there!! (or not)

Well I know what car I'm using.

see you there erik... see you there

Sorta want to do this...

Bump.

Race is tomorrow (Tuesday). Invites will go out at 1:00pm, and the race will start (no matter what) at 1:11pm, so be ready. Once we start, there is no turning back. It will be an open lobby, so spectators are welcome.

Commenting and covering the event will be KZ Powned and maybe Cazio, to keep us all entertained. Make sure you have a decent meal ahead of time. I am assuming most people will take at least 1 break part way in.

I will update again when the results are posted.

I dare someone to try not going to the pits the entire race.

and I won't make it because my xbox died, and my mom wont let me buy another one unless I brimg in As in Algabra and Conceptual Physics. [...sigh...]
though I have started to like other things. like airsoft

Last time I checked...cars require fuel...

Also, you made this on a tuesday, and I don't even have an Xbox anyway. Good luck guys. I hope at least one of you ends up with something besides a DNF.

Alright... well.. aside from the little incident at the end, 50 laps successful!!

I would like to point out that morale toward the end was near zero, so I would like to thank DJ KZ Powned and backup DJ A Chaotic GOD for keeping us entertained. Check the first post for credit updates and stats.

If you got credits, remember to update your garage on this one.

..and yeah, never doing this again.. 50 laps is just...

The event is now closed.
