Race Week 2 - The Fight of the Five Ferrari's! - Part 1 (Closed)

Race Week 2 is here! Race Week 1 was a great - very close battle but this week we are going to ramp the challange up!

Race Week 2 is called The Fight of the Five Ferrari's for a reason! Its basically 5 different Ferrari's on 5 different tracks! All the details are listed below!

Ferrari's are some of my fav cars of all time and it was hard to pick 5 but i tried to mix it up and get a good balance of cars. I am sure i have missed some peoples favs so the Fight of the Five Ferrari's will return in later rounds and will be a different set of Ferrari's to use. All these cars are to be used in Free Play and not in career - none of these cars must be upgraded and must used as they come on the Free Play.

All times have to be in by Mon 16th Nov at 8pm. As before you must post your times below and you can keep posting new times if you improve them.

Also as with all the time trials - No Rewinds!!
Now grab those keys and in your Ferrari's!!!

Nice times again oli. I'm glad mw2 has come out as I think it has eaten into alot of peoples hot lap times lol. Let me know your gamertag oli so I can add you to my list. We could get some out of season racing in! Also how do you use the clutch? I only tried it in the demo and couldn't work out what button to use, I just kept slipping the gears! Lol

I was just about to send you a friend request! My gamertag is slUggg, and the clutch is activated by the A button on my wheel or the RB on the controller I think. Once I got used to it, I never grinded gears. It's actually easier to get used to it in the faster cars, as they have faster shift times. You shouldn't have a problem though, it's easy enough, and you'll be a PROPER racer . Shame on Turn 10 for not properly showing you how to use it - I had to find out on YouTube!
MW2 has eaten into my lap times, but not from me playing it. My brother is addicted to COD, which means I have less opportunities to race. The reason my times on the later tracks are slower is because of him nagging!
BTW, if slUggg is playing a COD game on multiplayer, then it's him. Anything else, and its me.
I WILL try beating you again today, so watch out!

OK here are my times:

1) 0:48.778
2) 1:04.506
3) 0.41.873

Is I've said - I've only played 3 hours campaign and NO multiplayer - the time has been lost indirectly to my brother playing it constantly. It's not THAT good, just a running match to the next checkpoint

I've never said I hate the Enzo have I?
If so it was a complete mistake as it's probably my favourite prancing horse.
Well done to all and it looks like it's gonna be close this time round.
Don't you have a holiday to take or something Darkest?
