Kinda gruelling but a shit load of fun
Had hideous lag and fuck all voice chat so apologies to anyone i bounced off: had a couple of people morph in front of me on nurburg with predictable results
It was crazy, we were all afraid to get near you because you would randomly teleport into someone and torpedo them off the track. It is all good man, it happens.
Where are you playing from and what kind of internet do you have?
For the life of me I could not stay consistent in today's races. Dunno what the issue was. Really, REALLY sorry to Slayer33 for obliterating him in the first race. I swear I didnt think I was that close to him.
To Slayer33: welcome to GAF! LoL
Almost spun out about four times on Nordschleife, too. Was just not my normal consistency today.

Fantastic races guys! Last race was just too much. I think I heard Retro crying from too much laughing. At least I think it was from too much laughing.
Man, I think I hit Murder X, or Grassy, one of them. Too funny.
Ha! That'd explain a lot - I'm in the UK (London) but moved into a new place about 6 hours before today's races.
Haven't had a chance to check out router etc yet but guessing it's worse than my last place - can hopefully get it sorted by next w'end

I was trying to get out of the way, I slowed down too much in that turn for you since I knew you were going to lap me. It was partly my fault too lol...
Don't worry about it bro, I just need practice over the week to keep up with you guys. Thankfully I'll have time to play FM4 now since I sorted out IRL stuff...
It was me, Haha. The car was horrible handling after I wrecked it once, even after the pit, I think I was riding the wall after not bring able to take a turn at nowhere normal speed when you found me.
The ring race was pretty crazy at first. I nailed someone after coming up over a small hill, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect anyone to be going that slow through there. :/ I know I hit Short as well, he brake da little early and i wasn't ready for it. I was gonna give you your place back, but it didn't look good. I hadn't drove on the ring much and was used to following people (ghosts) much faster than me.
All I remember from Indy was I was coming around past the pit exit and two cars were almost stationary right in the racing line and I couldn't avoid it and BAM, I think it was Muerte who was sent flying into the sky!
We had a good fight on Catalunya though for 5th/6th for about 9 laps with a bit of back and forth and only minimal contact a few times, good racing.
Also, from the Nurburgring race:

Great start but that video shows almost the entire time I was leading in that race, lol. I love the sound of that car.

was about to tell you you got the date wrong, then remembered you are in aus.
I changed it back to 01.01, makes sense seeing as for most people that's what the date was when we were racing.
Yeah, I tried to pass once, but your car was fast enough through the corners to negate my acceleration advantage. I think if I was more consistent it would've been closer. I get close and then start to make mistakes. Especially when you would, lol. Instead of catching up I'd take a bad turn and lose my chance to make up some ground.
Still it was nice to have some close racing. I'm not consistent enough to keep up with the top guys (or nearly as fast with laps this time around, damn!) but I'm usually a good bit quicker than the guys in the back of the pack. So I usually end up by myself after a few laps.
I thought the 'Ring would've been a little less eventful, but I usually had someone near me. It didn't seem that long to me either. The NASCAR race was chaos. I managed to make it through one gauntlet of broken cars trying to take me out, but it was just a matter of time. There were some glorious accidents in that race, haha.
Have you considered calibratIng your TV? My racing game pics used to have the same issue until someone pointed it out to me.My rides for tomorrow. I suck at setting up pics. Really washed out. I'll have to keep at it. Sooner or later I'll get better, or maybe Forza 5 will have a auto-awesome setting for photos.
On another note I've been working a lot to hit a January deadline. Even lent out my clubsport pedals this entire holiday season. Got them back today and will be ready to race in a couple weeks.
Been lurking this whole time and I have to hand it to you guys for the weekly races looks like fun and I hope to join you all soon.

Just got done uploading the complete clusterfuck of a race that was the NurbGT warm up. I tried to change between the interesting parts of the race.

Any suggestions for how to do the Indy race? There was so much going on, I am not sure how to capture it all.

Oh goodness gracious me, laughing so much that breathing is hard.
Everyone like my livery?
If someone decided to run an experiment and put a bunch 8-year-old kids into a fleet of superscars and then set them off on a race track-- the result probably wouldn't look too dissimilar from that first corner. Mayhem!
EDIT: Short Sirkett, does the audio option in the game that controls the balance of engines and tires also affect the replays? If the tires could be toned down in comparison to the engine sounds it would probably be an improvement. Video quality looks great.

Yea, I am assuming it takes my settings and uses those for the audio. I will check them and turn down the tires for the next races I upload.
It felt like I had more air time than that replay shows.
Awesome stuff. Funny how my car doesn't have it's livery in that replay. I guess it just didn't load.

They need to fix that. I shouldn't have to beg people to hit me because shortt sirket decides to put me in the wall
So M0dus sent me his newest GAF livery to take a few shots of. Getting the lighting right on this thing is a bit of a challenge considering the colors involved, but I'm very thankful to be considered for it! So here's three shots to give you guys a good view of what's going on!
So M0dus was sent a message by a user requesting to be sent his now owed unicorn car. The user made note that he, like many others, hadn't been gifted his pre-order bonus and would like to be compensated as others have. Of course, this confused the very wise m0dus....but not long before a plan emerged. The big-hearted fellow reached into his bag of tricks and proceeded to give the man exactly what was coming to him. His very own "unicorn" vehicle.
ROFL!!

You were missed :/
And that unicorn livery looks great, I wouldn't mind one of those

I like what you have done with that Pinto HD!
Did not think it was possible to have a cool Pinto! I'll be visiting your SF on Tuesday!
:lol..!
I should definitely start racing with my fellow GAFfers. I can definitely contribute to races like that.
lol wow

oh my god that was funny!
only disappointment is that I "won" that warmup and I didnt even feature in the upload! Also, templat wizards car (behind me) had a strange tendency to just go up or down 10 feet (in the air or down underground) which was quite distracting in the rear mirror!
edit - its all me me me
The only reason I'm not doing this is related to my current lack of money.
I'll get it later this year.
Jan. 3 I think.
The quality of the texture on the Lambo is crazy, even when at 100% on the Big Shot, it's still incredibly sharp.
I have to admit that the Huayra sound is indeed top notch. (I'll still take the atmospheric engine of the Zonda Cinque any day though)
Also, this car proves to those saying that adding active aero wasn't a big deal how important it was to add it.
