Got the new videos up:
50 Days of (Green) Hell Day 34 - Gumpert Apollo S
I always think this car looks ugly until I really start to look at it. It has one of those looks that starts out hideous and gets better the more time you have with it. And the car drives something similar to that. It seems crazy and overboard at first, but the more time you spend with it the greater it becomes. It seems like it can handle almost anything and it will do exactly what you want. Until, that is, you stop respecting it. Then it will make you rue the day you even tried to drive it. You can see this happen a couple of times in the lap, the exact moment when I think I don't have to worry about the car and then it is almost sideways. It is supremely capable and fast as hell but the second you take that for granted, it will kill you. It is a great car to drive and it really has a great, if brutal, personality.
50 Days of (Green) Hell Guest Drive 31 - Lexus IS F
Yes, this is Dead Poul doing his normal "oh look how easy it is to drive stupidly fast" thing he normally does in the awesome Lexus IS-F.

P.S. I'm bored of racing 'the same tracks' all the time. Still dissapointed with no track packs
No way! The ISF is just a GREAT car! The weight, power distribution, gears, handling, and acceleration are all just perfect for this car! Other than it being a sedan, I can't see why anyone wouldn't buy this over an M3.

I will, but I'll do it for the Aston
I used the F50 for one race online......
.....one of the users from FSP (you guys are just not fast, face it bro!) called me a pussy and a newb. =(
I love it that no one really knows what GAF is, so whenever I enter a room I'm just a random player. It's always a shock when I end up winning a few races. Would love to get Seanspeed in some S class races with me and trade 1st and 2nd with him all night until a few users tap out.

Finally got Forza 4. Is there a GAF Club?
Yes, you've been invited friend. How do you feel about the 04 Mustang Cobra and Porsche 911 models?
TheDrizzlerJ11
Member
Ha,
I've never liked porsche's style, it's beginning to grow on me though. Funny you ask about the Cobra 'cause when I was in middle school, my sister's boyfriend at the time had an '04 Cobra. Chameleon paint, used to think the thing was awesome. Not much of a mustang guy though really, there's just so many, but always loved how that Cobra roared. This is more my thing.

Great car, I love the GNX. I would do terrible things to be able to own one, but even the "normal" Grand Nationals are crazy expensive.
Funny you should mention it because it is going to be my next car for my 50 Days.
Speaking of, I got the new videos up:
50 Days of (Green) Hell Day 35 - Alfa Romeo 155 Q4
I have always dug this car. Something about the quirky look and the great sound that engine makes. Of course, watching classic racing videos of this bad boy in action might have something to do with it also. Either way, this car is just MADE for this course. It has to be the most perfect handling car I have driven so far. It does exactly what you think it should, exactly as it should. No questions, no hesitation, no problems. It goes where you point and it does it quicker than it has any right to. It feels fast and planted and was a pure pleasure to drive. I suggest everyone grab this car stock and just have a great time running it around the Ring.
50 Days of (Green) Hell Guest Drive 32 - Audi Sport Quattro S1
Watch Arucaardo run this Group B monster around the Green Hell.

Can I join GAF club?? My xbl is Dzidza1978
Wrong answers !
Don't worry, SarBear is going to change your mind one way or another :
BTW, for those wondering where all those homespaces from the leaked video have gone, well BADNED provides the answer : to waste.
BADNED said:
A shame really, I would have loved this one :
Looks like something that could be out of a car brochure IMO.
-MikePriester-
Member
That's what I find hard to fathom half the time. The homespaces we're *done or near enough, yet we don't get them. At least put 1 out with each DLC release as a sweetener.

As far as I'm concerned, you can't have enough homespaces. Six is too little, I actually find myself a bit bored with them already. GT5 nailed this one: lots of great photo locations.
Can I also join? My XBL is LiebyBear.

Have you both passed the initiation test?
16 laps around the ring in the DeLorean with an average speed of 88MPH?

Any GAF events/tourneys on the horizon? What's this 50 days thing?
Shortt Sirket
Member
Just send a PM to me, SarBear or OpIvy with your GamerTag and we will invite you. It is an invite only club for now.
We haven't really been doing any more races on Sundays, but there has been some talk of doing unofficial races on Sunday. The 50 Days is a small project I am running where I take different stock cars around The Ring. I am always looking for Guest Drivers if you want to do a quick run and add to the series.
You can see the rules and some of the videos here: http://www.youtube.com/user/ShorttSirket

Great video.
In my dreams Turn 10 would produce one of these videos for each of their simulation systems, describing how those systems affect your drive, how Forza 4 models those systems and depicts them in the telemetry, and how to tune your car in-game to take advantage of differing conditions.
Fantastic. I love how T10 is still putting these out. Great watch.
Great video!
I really admire Turn 10's commitment to the fans. They didn't have to share anything, they could've just released the game and ended it at that, but no, they keep on giving.
Videos such as these increase appreciation for the game, and highlights the passion and dedication Turn 10 have for their products.
I've always wanted a video tutorial of sorts for the upgrades and tuning processes in the game which would be invaluable to the uninitiated especially.
As I've mentioned previously, I think it was an old Colin McRae game where you were actually the R and D for certain car components such as suspension and brakes. You had visual tutorials on what each upgrade or tuning parameter actually did.
This would be great in Forza because the upgrades and tuning processes are more in depth.
So, instead of a scrolling description on what camber does,you show a video of it in action along with the potential hazards of a too negative or positive application for example.
Extend this to all other areas and you have instantly given the public a much better understanding of what upgrades do and how tuning affects those components..

I've unfortunately had to pull out from Club GAF temporarily (I wasn't really contributing much anyway) to join another club (Ausrotary Forums) - frees up a spot for someone more dedicated anyway.
I have remade a design that I used as a prize car for a race series/Time Attack that I organized back in FM3 for the Ausrotary forums.
I have revived it for the new go at Time Attacks/Rivals and added it to the AusRx club garage.
I will make it available on my SF too, if anyone wants it.

Loved the video, it's always nice to see how such a big game is built.
Hopefully we'll see more. Some behind the scene stuff about Infineon, the Top Gear integration, etc... would be great.
BTW, anyone else feels those are hype-building videos, something that would have been great during the video drought between E3 and launch ?

Got the videos done last night, but completely forgot to post.
50 Days of (Green) Hell Day 36 - Buick Regal GNX
I have always loved this car. There is just something about it's uncompromising attitude that I just love. It is powerful, it is fast and it is quite rare which makes it the perfect addition to a racing game. And I will say I had a lot of fun on this lap. This car just BEGS to have its tail end sliding all over the place. Luckily it is probably the easiest car to keep the tail out. It could do it all day and you barely have to pay attention. This car just wants to go fast and burn tires and I had a hell of a time doing that in this lap.

Good choice on the car you raced. One of my favorites in the game. =) Even though you're tail happy, you're definitely racing a lot better.

Finished up the Miami Marlins Mobile, Marlins logos can be found on my storefront. Gonna be doing Heat, Dolphins, and Panthers too. Panthers Mobile is probably next; baseball may be my 4th favorite but damn is that Marlins logo simple in comparison to the others.

Nice.
Why did you choose the BMW, might be more at home on a big pimped out caddi!
It's a pretty sweet design. You should do a fluoroscope orange one too.

The stock 2002 turbo designed inspired the Marlins theme.
That makes sense!

Got the new videos up:
50 Days of (Green) Hell Day 37 - Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera
This car can really make you realize how crappy of a driver you are. It is just so fast and so capable that it really is up to the driver to screw up and not the car. Quite a few times in the lap I felt like I didn't deserve to drive this car because I just couldn't quite drive as fast as the car would allow. The car just feels fantastic. It does understeer but it feels like it it is much smaller and lighter than it really is. Not quite as awesome as the Murc SV, but it is a great car.
50 Days of (Green) Hell Guest Drive 34 - 05 Subaru Impreza WRX STi

Hey Short, I'll do a guest drive sometime this weekend if it's that simple, just use any car not taken? Is there a list? You picking for me?
I always hit B too many times when leaving the live menu.

Sorry guys, my internet cut out at 12:45am for about seven minutes. This is not the first time this exact thing has happened.
Shortt, have a video for you, will throw it up on my storefront.

You can do pretty much any car you want to. I would like to keep them fairly unique, so you can check out the current list here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ancn9aXDWX-ldC1TcXRzRy0yUHpVek5SdlJtTHJCVFE
Is it the one with the multiple Scoobies? Because I like to keep them in Free Run. But keep it up because after the initial 50, I want to do some different things.
