    Re: IFCA World Rankings list

    Interesting.  What criteria did you use to come up with the rankings?  Needless to say, I'm shocked and honored to see my name on that list.

    Re: IFCA World Rankings list

    It is the top 80 best Forza2 drivers in the world according to the IFCA. It is based on overall Hot Lap, Time Trials, a random Class selection of top 5 times, CGS performance, IFCA sanctioned series wins, and even some opinion/argue polls.

    Is the list perfect? In a word, no. The list will always be in a stage of acquiring perfection, but it is an accurate snap shot that can be relied upon to see (for the first time ever in the history of the game), who really is the overall #1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and so on down to 80th.

    Is #1 really the best Forza2 driver in the world? Perhaps not definitively at this early stage, but as the list evolves and becomes more accurate, greater and greater meaning will be attached to the #1 position.

    Re: IFCA World Rankings list

    I don't care what you do, but you might want to rig it so Greek isn't #1.  If you leave it that way someone in his family will have to clean up the remains of an exploded head as it finally got too big and we would all be sad :(

    I'm not saying he isn't number 1 just that he shouldn't be number 1 so we don't all have to hear his ego as it tries to fit through the door to the forum :)

    Oh and I'm faster than GeorgiaDawg!  My opinion is I'm faster than him make him 80th and me 79th.  Cause I don't think I belong anywhere as high as I am.

    Re: IFCA World Rankings list

    Oh and if you'd like debate General E Live and R2P x42x are at least 20 spots too low x42x maybe 40 spots too low.  I'm not going to say anyone should come down, but I will say those guys are far better than that ranking system!

    Re: IFCA World Rankings list

    I can feel the love Solo thanks. lol

    All I care about is my Hotlap Rank. I am down to 5th now overall. The hotlap leaderboards have more importance to me than this IFCA Ranking. I am flattered I ended up 1st but the people on this list at least half of them to me can beat me on any race. But imagine the players on this list were in 1 team. It will be incredible.

    I might of ended up in 1st. But the guy in number 2 to me is the worlds best player.

    Honestly, I disagree with just about all of that list; but I won't go into details because I don't want to offend anyone.

    Re: IFCA World Rankings list

    This isn't directed torward anyone but this "World Ranking" is just shameful. You look at these drivers and you compare them to the fastest of FM1 and they can't hold a candle to them. Where has all the competition gone? Needless to say, getting high on this list isn't very hard (Or as hard, better yet), and it doesn't hold much weight. I'd start naming names but that'd be going too far.

    Re: IFCA World Rankings list

    Hello,

    Is the list perfect? In a word, no. The list will always be in a stage of acquiring perfection, but it is an accurate snap shot that can be relied upon to see (for the first time ever in the history of the game), who really is the overall #1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and so on down to 80th. We have already seen in recent competitions that the list is accurately predicting in general who has the advantage.

    Is #1 really the best Forza2 driver in the world? Perhaps not definitively at this early stage, but as the list evolves and becomes more accurate, greater and greater meaning will be attached to the #1 position.

    Is #80th really the worst driver on the list? Probably not. Rest assured ALL 80 drivers on this list are well above any average regularly playing Forza2 driver by a fair margin. This is the most elite list ever tabulated for this purpose. However there are still dozens of highly skilled drivers that may not have made this first list for various good reasons.

    Something you don't appear to see is that on average only 0.8 points seperate each driver on the list.  This means that this is a very tight list, and that very little seperates drivers who reside close to each other on the list. Many are simply too close to call in fact. Who could pick who was better between R2P Deano vs TDR DaMo, or TRC Smokinu vs VVV Daveyskills, or F4H KIKO vs TRC NOOB?  You might say you think you know who would win, but you'd be lucky at best and probably wrong.  One thing is for sure these match ups would be very close racing on the track.

    As for Greek, well, someone had to be #1, and who better to attach the bullseye to then him, right? lol

    First, I'll count my name as one that is ranked way too high.  Somewhere near the bottom of that list is probably a little closer to reality.  Atleast at this stage of the game.  But at some point you have to throw out the old legends who don't play this game for whatever reason or another.  Happens all the time in any area of competition.  "Stars" eventually fade or retire and new ones come along.  I mean, nobody disputes the greatness of Tiger Woods because there's no Palmer or Nicklaus or Hogan around competiting with him.  Those that are ranked high now on the scoreboards are the best at FM2.  Could some of the people who have moved on come back and reclaim their places?  Sure.  But, until they do those at the top are at the top and no amount of talk changes that.

    Yes, but when the best racer (or at least top 3) I have ever gone against isn't even on the list, then something is wrong.

    And yes, I have raced extensively with more than 75% of the people either on that list or the ones that should be on that list at time or another and I know how badly some of them would beat others of them.

    Re: IFCA World Rankings list


    :sigh: Perhaps now I will actually finish a class in hotlaps so I can be named as honorable mention or #81 lol.  On second thought, I'd rather be #82 because I am a Philadelphia Eagles fan and #81 makes me ill.

    BTW, I think R2P Jed should should be in the top 5 hands down.  What he has done with muscle cars without assists is nothing short of amazing.  Most impressive driver currently playing IMO.

    Personally I don't think you know what you speak of.  I could easily say everyone is lucky i don't care to hotlap anymore. It's quite an advantage being one of the quicker drivers out there, and one of the better tuners... i've been know to put a gem up on the boards when I feel like it.  But you see what good would all that do... I've never heard of you... and you probably never heard of me. But if you put a bet on me in a race... you'd probably be wrong. You wouldn't be the first. I could easily say if I put as many laps/hours into it as some of those guys I'd be looked at differently..  Instead i'm off racing non scoreboard/obscure cars to the pace of scoreboard times because thats what I enjoy. Forza 2 is a different game then the first... you see new names because a lot of guys couldn't adapt. Those guys that relied on the scoreboard setups being downloadable, their no where to be seen. But you see now the proof is in the pudding on this game. Until someone tops the Forza 2 players, you can talk all you want about legends of the past... but they're just fumes. Until I put more effort in myself... so am I.

    Besides, that list isnt based on racing abilitty alone... other factors are involved. Look at it as forza 2 acomplishments more than skill.. Sometimes its not about how good you are... but more about who shows up.

    Re: IFCA World Rankings list

    I chat with Deano, and have interviewed him for the IFCA newsletter. We are well aware of his talents and ability, he is a world class Forza driver on any list.  On this list he's 13th in the world largely due to inactivity more than anything else.  If Tiger Woods didn't play for a while, his ranking would go down too.

    I'm sorry, but when did I say that

    a) my opinion was based on hot lap times

    b) that you are slow and that I would bet against you

    or c) that you should be lower on the list ??

    Oh wait, you weren't even in my post.

    I know how fast you are at racing, and I also know that some of the people high on that list are horribly inconsistent and just spend hours in hotlap and occasionally get lucky.

    The method by which that list was made was wrong - it concentrated too much on the one lucky lap and not enough on overall racing skill
