Hey everyone, I'm quite interested in joining the Anandtech car club. I've worked with Queasy at Examiner & VideoGameWriters, and would love to race on a regular basis with a sensible group of people.

Let me know if there's room, and thanks!

You can make a ton of credits by sandbagging in rivals mode. Get a quick enough lap time to be in the 100k range then just sort the rivals list by "near me[lap time]" and keep beating each guy by a little bit and select the next. I was doing this at the 100,000 and 150,000cr level times boom two laps of infineon done. I made about 1.5million in 1/2 hour. I'm not sure if they didn't care to limit this or overlooked it. I just started the game basically since I worked 72 hours this week. Now I have a week off 🙂

Odd, last time I looked all of my Rival rewards capped at $25K. where did you see $150K?

Also, I just realized I probably won't be there this Wednesday. Since the Cardinals made it to the World Series and that starts on Wednesday...methinks my TV will be occupied (not by me).

If you can run an XBL connection check without any issues then you have no need to do this. If anyone has an issue following these directions, PM me with your router model number and I will walk you through it in depth.

Yes, I'm in the club now. Thanks though. 🙂
 
crap, I didn't realize that there are really only 5 choices for my car pick. Is everyone still OK with it?
 
IIRC you pretty much have to choose a C425 RWD Sedan as your level reward car pretty early on (lvl 5 or so maybe).
 
also, if you choose a car and run a couple races with it (or already have affinity with the manufacturer) all your upgrades/tuning will be free.

damn arby you are right, with the stock car racing at infenion you dont even have to leave second gear and can be pegged at 100k range all day.

100k is at about 1:20:30 ish right now btw.
 
Yes, I wanted to be at the 50k level for consistency initially but then I realize that is difficult because they would rig the ghost if you slow down on the straight
 
Dangit, Wednesday is my bowling night. But please invite me anyways, I'd like to be in the club, and if I ever blow out my hammy at bowling I'll be in for race nights for sure!
 
I will miss racing tomorrow night and the forseeable future. My Mom's house caught fire yesterday morning and she was airlifted to the burn ICU @ UW's Harborview Medical Center here in Seattle. My step dad is flying in this afternoon from London and is staying with me until we have a better idea of what her recovery time will be. I will return at some point, good racing my friends.
 
The awesome Walmart here in town has been sold out since last week. They told me Saturday that they would have some in yesterday but still nothing. Hoping to make it for tomorrow night.
