BingoCams Berlinetta

Forza 4 - Tuning The BingoCams Berlinetta


BingoCams is an online gaming website that is frequently visited by many a forza widow. whose partners are just too involved in tuning forza 4 motors for their own  and others gaming pleasures. (that would be me!)

According to the official BingoCams website there are a variety of online games available to entertain your partners while you've got your foot pressed 'pedal to the metal' on Forza Motorsport 4. There are obviously bingo games, as well as roulette, blackjack, slot machines and others available to keep your partner from walking in front of the TV while your trying to negotiate the dreaded carousel @ Nurburgring Nordschleife ...

Live Bingo with webcams is surely the way to go in respect to online gaming and some of the sights that are seen when winners are suddenly thrown up onto your screen has to be seen to be believed ... now, try and not to be too 'catty' when they do win, that would just be mean! .. Live bingo chat will also keep your partners well occupied as they moan about your latest racing exploits to total strangers on the net.

A600 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta 'BingoCams'

The Forza 4 Tuning process for this car all started from running an untuned version in an online lobby within the game @ Catalunya GP ...

To be quite frank the car was understeering quite horribly, yet, for a driver like myself the car was still turning in some pretty decent lap times in or around the 2:02.xxx to 2:01.xxx range. Close enough to my personal best time to give me the inspiration to tune the car to really see what it would do when the handling side of things were well and trully 'sorted out'

It wasn't too long before the Ferrari F355 Berlinetta was dropping some eye popping times with the best during tuning sessions being a 1:58.8xx and a definite new PB by some considerable margin of almost 3 seconds !

And, this was the point at which it was decided to give the car a lick of paint .. now, what paint shall we have? .. well, the answer to that one is plain for you all to see and was only decided upon following a rather quick heads up from my partner 'Dinkydoo' to demand a 'cup of tea' to parch her bingocams throat whilst waiting on the next game ..

We'll add some additional laptimes to this article and an additional version of the paint as time allows .. for now, why not try out our Berlinetta Bingo Game while you wait ... full details and entry are available @ [NOG] Berlinetta Bingo Anyone? - GAME IN PROGRESS

All you need to do to win is guess what numbers between 1 & 90 are NOT on the car. You Win : 150,000 In-Game Credits (the cost of the car)

Forza 4 Hyundai Veloster Turbo 2013

Forza 4 Hyundai Veloster Turbo

There are two versions of the all new Hyundai Veloster within the Forza Motorsport 4 game. The first being a 'standard' road going vehicle which starts off in the C Class catefgory the other being a fully fledged race car which for the purposes of this posting will no longer be mentioned.

It is with the c class car we will stay as this is the class we chose to tune the living daylights oit of the car to see what could possibly be acheived with this recent addition to the Forza 4 franchise. Initially, the car was given a full set of racing boots and all the race weight reductions we could find. However, having run the car to its limits it very much missed out on being anything that would give other cars in C Class a good race.

So with the assistance of LeeGT24 the car was re-built and rebuilt until the Veloster would drop sopme decent times around the place. The final decision was to go for all the horses under the hood and sacrifice some weight and grip to turn this into a real speed merchant.

Suzuka West was the first ribbon to fall to the charms of the Hyundai Veloster Turbo quickly followed by Nurburgring Nordschleife Full along with stages A, C & D. most of these times live in the top 100 places on the Forza 4 leaderboards.

Now, when it came to a lick of paint for the car, a good friend of mine, GeneralLeeCrap made the MAXXIS logo and the general paint and logo placements was done by me - NoGoldie. We think we got balance pretty much correct with the carbon fibre hood creation to the orange / black / white combo.

We hope you enjoy our offering and further details and lap times can be found @ [NOG / LeeGT] C425 Hyundai VelosteRaptor - Released ...
