Nope. They should have implemented points on top of the medals. Medals could determine the payout but at the end of the series they could have the points champion.
whenever you buy an xbone, we will ask dan to release the next smartgeometrics track they have ready
ps.
kind of puts stuff in perspective, the latest comments from codies, about how their old gen 22 tracklist was so important that they chose NOT to do ps4/xbone because they would need to recreate.
forza 5 right now has like what? 16 brand new tracks? with at least something more coming? you count the beans my friend, and decide..

Time to prototype!

2012 Audi #1 Audi Team Joest R18 e-tron quattro

Not sure if the '77 Ford Foyt #14 should be included, it is in the P class. Anyone have objections either way?
Tracks:
Le Mans - Old Mulsanne Circuit (That's right, no chicanes.)
Road Atlana - Full Circuit
Everyone is welcome to come out and race. If you can't make it Sunday you can always try time trials.
Time Trials
Same cars, same tracks. Feel free to post work in progress times here, but PM me your final times.
Standings
Both the weekly and time trials standings can be found here.
Damn, I don't care what I have to do but I am going to be there. That straight is going to be a goddam bloodbath!

Hope you lot can wait until 2017 then.
Any assists you want to use are cool. I still use some, others use nothing and do clutch manual. Madness.
Mascot, 2017? What is this EDF?

Probably the drab Monza
Perspective for who, though? CM haven't made a good game since, CM Rally 4 and are grasping at straws.
perspective for my friend Mascot, who is holding out because no tracks.
@lima: no assist rules, use or dont use whatever assist you like.
Shandy, thats a fine gif 8)

Quick question as everyone here seems to be straight. Are any of you guys heavily invested in Project Cars?
Here and a few other forums I see small groups of people who are incredibly positive, play down criticism and are coming across as trying to sell the game if I'm honest. It's not *too* obvious here but I'm getting bad vibes never the less.
I wonder if people have been told to go forth and shill or just doing it off their own backs, understandable if they expect a decent return but it makes me a little uncomfortable.

Ah cheers.
I'm interested in the game but because of the way it has been funded I'm finding it hard to know what to believe. My own fault for not getting into it and seeing for myself.

I have pCARS, if there's anything you're curious about I could always answer for you.

Thanks but as of now the only thing I want to know is how commited they are to 60fps for consoles (mainly Xbox One) T10 take some stick for the visual sacrifices they've made but they have my respect for sticking to their guns on framerate, on the flipside PD went balls out but the inconsistent framerate killed GT for me.
I look at pCARS and wonder which way it will go.
No doubt it's too early for an answer but hopefully we'll hear something way before the hype builds up.
Oh man, I watched Le Mans (1971) for the first time tonight. Pure badass! I promptly loaded up Forza 5 and and did 15 laps on Old Mulsanne Circuit. My best clean lap was 3:22.533. Was using the stock Mazda 787. I feel like a better tune might get more speed out of the long straight. I was only getting up to 216-18mph on it. I'm sure the tuners in the group will make these number look really bad.
I'm thinking for the weekend race we'll do 4 laps on this track. More than 10 minutes but less than 15. Still haven't figured how many laps for Road Atlana, probably 6 - 8.

I missed our last Sunday's race 'cause i was playing with Lima that Island on Ryse. (well, in fact he was helping me stay alive for half a fuckin' hour!)
Of course as we were slaying them fools, we talked various games. He was very rigid that it indeed drives very well now, no relation to previous games. (which is all I'm troubled for. everything else = peachy for me).
BUT we will find out this sunday on our forza race whether Lima is able to separate good handling-bad handling or not
he does have all forza 5 achievements though...

Damn dude, how have you NOT seen that before now? Such an incredible movie, plus there is only like 15 min of actual dialogue in the entire movie.
I haven't had a chance to practice yet, but I am hoping to get some time in tonight and tomorrow. We have most of the boxes unpacked, so we are slowly getting settled in.
I know, I know. A great wrong has been righted. If you don't count the race announcer it has even less dialogue in the movie. And that crash. Man alive, that crash. Haven't stopped playing Forza because of that movie. lol. There was another old racing movie you were talking about, Grand Prix? I've got to track that down too.
Grand Prix has some amazing footage. I need to pick up Le Mans on Blu-Ray.
god, i feel so bad for abandoning fm5. its a terrific game. i like this community. we actually got dlc tracks.
i just need a fucking wheel - a gaming pad just dosent cut it. has anyone heard anything new or have experience with the cronusmax converter dongle thingy-ma-bob? apparently some (all?) last gen wheels now work with it, but with flaws... force feedback replaced with some rumble conversion? added dead zones? i refuse to buy a new wheel - its insane that MS expects this with every new generation, but i need need need a wheel to truly take pleasure in a racer for extended periods of time.

I'm level 100 after two weeks. Am I sick or is this normal?
I love the hell out of this game and the new audio/visual overhauls of all of the tracks and cars, but I am finding that as I improve in my driving I learn to hate the Drivatars more and more. What I was willing to give a pass on - the bumper cars - was more alright when I was still getting a handle on the driving model and the tracks - but now that I have a solid understanding of both the AI is mussing up the works on every track - just some worse than others.
Still, I'm damn glad I got an xbone, even for just this singular game. Even with my substantial Drivatar gripes this is still an excellent driving game.

It looks like the T500 owners are the only wheel users not getting screwed over this generation.
I'm level 100 since this week and I've had the game since launch, this is where I see that I spend way too much time in the photo mode !
Speaking of which, here are some new ones :

Both Le Mans and Grand Prix are must have on Blu-Ray. The transfer on Grand Prix looks incredible to me.
You should also check out The Gumball Rally and Cannonball Run if you haven't seen those yet.
Nice! Is that the BBC one? It's a really good look at the rivalry between the two.
Not sure. It came out roughly the same time as Rush.
It's brilliant and I had to make a tweet about it.

Hah, but considering your output I'd say you're spending the right amount of time in photo mode. Keep em coming!I'm level 100 since this week and I've had the game since launch, this is where I see that I spend way too much time in the photo mode !

I have both Cannonball runs. Silly but still fun to see those old cars. I'll add Gumball Rally to the list.
NullPointer, good work getting to 100. You'll be up here in the 400s in no time.
G Rom, so much awesome in those pics. Last one has a great flow to it.
Gumball Rally is much better than Cannoball in my mind. It feels more authentic to the original Brock Yates idea, while still having some fun.
You seen Truth in 24 yet? If you haven't it's a must watch for Le Mans fans!
Jason Statham does the narration too which gives it extra awesome points in my book

Yeah, Truth in 24 I and II are some of the best racing films out there. The NFL Films crew knocked it out of the park on both.
They're available on Youtube and for free on iTunes so there's no excuse not to check them out:

@soundscream, I can upload a test tune a bit later in the day, so you can test if it works better for your laptimes

Thanks but I do my own tuning, I'm using the Ferrari anyway.
It's really just a lack of practice, I did like 3 laps, hard to get Forza time in when you're working 6 days a week for the past month.
