Because of the massive prizes involved and the pretty big list of rules, is this HLC going to be policed manually rather than just going by the Forza penalty system? Because in my opinion the first two, possibly three times currently should be excluded for corner cutting. The first two guys completely cut across the pit entrance at the start of the lap, and they both were pretty borderline on cutting the corkscrew. The guy in third completely cut the last corner.

I'm not going to be anywhere near the top so it doesn't affect me at all, but for a competition with a prize as big as this, I hope someone who can stick to the confines of the track wins. The game system may allow the cuts they make, but in the real world it wouldn't be allowed.

Unfortunately laps like those will probably stand, but then it's expected in arcade racers such as FM3....BC

" Just answer me one question, Will it have a Local Leaderboard?" in reference to FM 4. quote by HBR Peaceman.

Some questions,

1. One entry per person, but can you enter more than one contest?

2. In the Fantasy Cover contest, can an entry have a fantasy livery design on it? (movie design/superhero)

3. In the Fantasy Cover contest, does the FM logo on the bottom left of the photo need to show?

4. In the Livery Design contest, can we be creative with the Road&Track logo, like put a colored border around the white lettering?   or change the words on the template?

Hope this is the right place for this post

Good Luck to all!

I noticed 4 of the top ten times set in the Mini Time Trial don't have replays. Is that something that can be turned off in the game, or something else? I've seen it before, but this looks like a good place to ask.

Nevermind

FM3 isn't a perfect sim, but isn't an arcade racer by miles. it's not perfect, but it is semi-realistic, and strides were made for it to be realistic, thus it is more a sim than arcade

Dan Wheldon, you will forever be missed.

Update 4.19.10

Watching the ebb and flow of the Road & Track Time Trial over the weekend was pretty interesting; the names in the top 10 were changing almost by the hour. Just to give an example I pulled the leaderboard times for this time trial at around 10:15 this morning, by the time I had finished the graphic for the top ten, RSI RoTaX STiG had moved from 16th place into 10th.

Will update on the winners of the Editors Daily picks once the folks at Road & Track post the winners, stay tuned.

I would focus exclusively on the photo and the framing of that photo. Whats on the cover will no doubt change when the contest ends.

So I guess that is a no then? Most of the current top ten cut several corners around the track.
