Anyone else have problems getting a clean lap, after you have done a 'dirty' lap, when you cross the Start/Finish line, its automatically on 'dirty' ffs! Trying to do some of the Rivals is becoming impossible unless I drive round the first lap slow as fuck.

Anyone else have problems with this?? Or know what to do different to prevent it?

its something to do with going 'too slowly' around the last corner i think. kinda sucks if you've got a high powered rwd car that is twitchy as fuck.

Funny you say that, the last Rival I was doing, I was using a tuned up MX-5 with TC turned off too....

also gay that if somebody is drafting you, you end up with a dirty lap.

the whole 'start with a dirty lap' thing fucked me off so much i havnt been back on rivals since

Can honestly say that made me turn it off tonight, lol. Enjoyed all the others though, just the Rivals where your on Ladera Short Track with all the Toureg and Hummers and shit, real annoying!

Sometimes if you rewind over line it clears it.

Also when it automatically makes it dirty I find it's normally because one of the last corners close to the finish line was dirty on the previous lap.

Haha there's nothing worse, or sitting through a 10 minutes race, only to slide onto the grass and come to a complete stand still (Fuck knows how this happens???) And end up losing the race! Arghhh!

If you get a dirty lap icon in the last sector of the lap (between the last timing sector and the start finish line), your next lap will be classed as dirty.

It's a good thing, you should of seen the shit people were doing in Forza 2 to get top leaderboard times!

MiniGibbo

Exactly..

As seeing how money is worthless as mods are free you can have that extra 15% lol..

Pretty much true that Gibbo, think most I've spent buying a car was £370,000 maybe. Refuse to get ripped off lol

I wasnt sure if they where "disc 1" so bought them anyway :homme:

Gutted you dont get any more moneys after 150, means im going to have to buy "tokens" to get all the really expensive cars :(

How does the clutch work..?

I don't even know what button it would be.

LB, let go of RT, press LB, let go then hold RT again

just like changing gear in real life

Only ever used a clutch with the Fanatec steering wheel with the shifter and clutch pedal, was pretty good. Wouldn't want to use a button clutch, would annoy me eventually!

or just switch the controls so A is clutch, then you can just press A & B together for up shifts, A & X for down! RB for handbrake then! :y:

Change it to layout A. It definitely makes you quicker but more noticeable in A class cars and under.

It makes it bit more fun to play you can flat shift if you want and you can blip the throttle on downshifts.

Might have to give this a go as im struggling to keep more than a 1-2 second lead over the 430 and vet on the a class world races..
