You can win them in contests, but it's tough. That's how I got them in 3.
I think Fred dropped a bunch with cheap buyouts on the AH around Xmas 2009. Though I was out of town and couldn't get 'em then.

Those guys are already putting in way too much work. The poor guys are doing more spreedsheet management than playing the game. I still think that once the club is full, then move onto Gaf2, then Gaf3 and so on. No spreadsheets, no constant checking post counts etc.
With the number of people in this thread and the numbers will climb as it is released world wide, there is no way in hell that managing a spreedsheet and deciding who get's in is going to managable and taking into consideration the time it takes our two captains to do all of this.
Gaf1 vs Gaf2 stuff can be alot of fun. Expecially with the way the leaderboards are set up it would a fun thing to have as far as competition. Again, I vote for a Gaf2, this way no one has that grade school feeling of being picked last to play kickball....lol

pffft. I know you're ribbing me, but I really don't have the space, like at all. Its seems like such a small change that would add so much to the driving with the controller.Mr.Green said:
I honestly can't fathom why it's not in the game. Seems like a low hanging fruit.

I am a bit annoyed by them choosing to quadruple the Unicorn count. The Mine's R32/R34 and the BMW M3 GTR Road Version were some of my favorite cars in F3. The M3 was almost the perfect A class car stock. I just don't understand why chose the cars they did.

G Rom said:Nope Unicorns are specifically made for this. Turn 10 can use them as bait for cheaters.
Not sure I agree with this simply because there will never reach a point where the system is "clean." Unicorn auctions were extremely rare in 3 because they became pointless once the credit glitchers entered the system.
It's clear that T10 expected unicorns to be more available which is why they made 17 of them and created a specific tab in the AH for them.
It'll be very interesting to see what their response to this is, as they probably weren't planning on it happening so early--if at all.

Agree Ivy. But instead, just start putting people into Gaf2. Gaf1 is already full, so people can just be put into Gaf2 if they want in. Redoing the first hundred and jsut doing a random switch is time consuming. This way our 2 mods can just take everyone that is asking to be put in they will go into Gaf2.
If a spreedsheet is to exist, it should just be a listing of who is in each club. Allow people to switch clubs as openings become available if they desire too. For me I have no problem going to Gaf2. Once the dust settles after a month or so, if activity is low enough, just merge the clubs into Gaf1. We know this will happen, but with the number of folks in this post, then there are those not part of Gaf, but friends of Gaf members that want to be in a club having more that one club seems like the only way to manage the number of people.

Those are the settings I'm currently using. I might try setting Drift to 4 instead. I need to pay closer attention to it when I play next.
I'm trying my hardest not to leave work early, but the temptation is strong.

So world tour are events that are from the event listing (obviously). Thing is, if you look on the event listing, the last column is the most difficult events. World class tour, or something like that. They are the ones with the most races.
Now, there will be times when these show up in world tour mode, and this is why there is a spike in the difficulty. Event listing seems to be a progression from left to right, just like it was in FM3. So be mindful of what you pick in world tour mode.
Anyway, this is just a theory of mine.

We need to hear from the two Club Captains on what we are going to do. I will volunteer to head up or be one of the captains of Gaf 2 if that helps and/or you two decide to go the route of Gaf2.
We can make the spreedsheet for members of each club as well. This will also satisfy those of us that have real life friends that are not part of Gaf to join the club's as well. I know I have about 8 friends on my Friends list that are playing F4 and only 1 of them is part of Gaf, but I am sure they would want to be in a club.
I know there has been a few people asking to drop out cause they cant play as much right now, those folks would have a home if we were to expand to 2 or 3 clubs. With a 100 cap limit, I am sure that there will be around 50-60 in each club that are die-hard active, playing almost daily, while the other 50% or so will be more casual. No need to have a hard core club and a non-hard core club, I am not suggesting that.
Breaking down the clubs into Gaf1, Gaf2, Gaf3 based on when each fills up will give each club a balance . Having on club of just hardcores the other clubs would have no chance at friendly competition.

A wheel that would work for both Forza 4 and GT5: does such a thing exist?

I see your point, but the thing is if we allow outside (non-gaf) people to join, most likely they are associated with someone that is on Gaf and maybe they will join as well. As it is now, there is not alot of posts in this thread about organizing races etc. with club members.
I mean to make it that true community feeling, it almost seems like a seperate thread for just the club is needed, but I do see that thread falling off the top 20 page list quickly. I don't know, there is alot of plus and minus in whatever decision is made for this. For me, the more the merrier...I have alot of non-gaf friends from associations I made in Forza 2 & 3 and it would be nice to be in a club with them that is sizeable like the Gaf Club.

The Speed Wheel is completely divorced from Kinect. The wheel is amazing and there are some excellent reviews of it in the Speed Wheel thread. I have convinced 3 people to buy one already by just letting them use mine for a couple of minutes.

As a Junior Member who was accepted into the club I wanted to chime in on the dilemma at hand.
I think the idea of "GAF1 - GAF2 - etc.." is the way to handle it.
Have another "hardcore" person manage the GAF2 club and try to add in some hardcore and casuals to both clubs to even out the playing field and garage content.
I also think it will be fun to have inter-club races with each "club chapter".
I agree eventually folks will drop off and both clubs can probably merge together at some point, but try to make it as fair of an experience for all in the beginning. The separate clubs will ensure that no member feels left out either, or missed the boat due to getting the game late etc...
That said, I am really enjoying the Car Clubs and community here...glad to be a part of GAF finally after a LOOOOONG wait to be accepted.
Race on Bretheren!

Finally tracked down a copy of the LE! Here's my story so far for those who want to hear or can relate..
Had my order via Amazon since June (got in on the $59.99 LCE)
Shipped out for release day shipping on Monday and has no valid tracking information
Called UPS and Amazon both yesterday and they just assured me it would be here yesterday
I ran out to WalMart and Gamestop last night with no luck (Gamestop said there were only 7K LCE's total)
I called my local Best Buy and they said there were 2 in a nearby store, but they might be held for pre-orders
I head to that store today (I was in the area) and they were both pre-orders. I also hit up the nearby K-Mart and they didn't have it either
I came home and checked out Bestbuy.com, but you can't do an in-store check for the LE on their site
However, I did one for the regular edition and just changed the product ID and was able to find one store that said they had one about 30 miles away.
I called them and they held it for me and I just got back from my 60 mile journey for the LCE.
If my Amazon order shows up tomorrow, I'll just return it to Best Buy to get my money back.
Does this sob story get me into the car club?

I think that's the thing, a lot of people probably are lurkers. The threads were the same people over and over and looking at the list of people that were signing up I didn't recognize many people.
I think at this point the problem with GAF1 and 2 is that it's going to be pretty much release date specific. All the people who got it on the 11th will be in GAF1 (or not in my case) and GAF2 will be the regions that didn't get the 11th launch.
I don't know, I'm just going to play career and see what happens down the road. Work is going so sloooow!
