Hopefully everyone who has said they want to be in the championship will sort out their team name/livery and update the spreadsheet so we can start on Sunday as planned. I'll PM everyone who hasn't responded since.

A few amendments/confirmations for the series:

- Races will be around 30 mins in length, so I'll update the lap count for each race
- Cars will be stock with no tune/setup allowed
- Tyre wear will be enabled
- Joker track will score double team points

First race, Nürburgring:

Stock car, no tune.

I'm liking this news, it sounded like stock but with tunes was going to be allowed from Sundays Racing.

The more I think about it......there has to be more car DLC on the way. Has to be. They can't bank all their earnings from season pass holders...due to discounts and promotions.... there has to be something raw where everyone pays. I got that feel, bro.

This is random, but at this moment I don't think there's anything better than taking that James Hunt McLaren on a few laps of the Nordschleiffe. It has just the right speed and handling to fully enjoy every last bend and high speed curve.

Just wanted to share the love. Its so damn good.

Anyone have/tried this wheel?

Just noticed you can pick them up for under £90 in the UK and I'd be interested to hear some impressions.

Edit: I just read that this has no force feedback. Nevermind.

Now that does sound pretty incredible, I am curious if the Atom is just as fun. I am always looking for new cars to run around the Ring. I LOVE taking stock cars for trips on the ring.

Ah the joys of being an early adopter. Good wheel tho!

i *think* the wife picked one up for me for christmas. my only wheel experience is with the MS 360 wireless wheel, so i imagine this will be quite the step up. i'm looking forward to revisiting fm5 with a good ffb wheel and spending a lot of time with fh2 and project cars as well.

So just to clarify, this is the only FFB wheel available for X1 at the moment?

I remember the Atom feeling a little twitchier but I'll have to try it out again just to be sure, you know, for science :)

All I know for sure was that McLaren was flawless.

But you can't really lose driving in something open topped and low to the ground. Makes me wish this game had more cars where I could put the top down.

The Atom is extremely twitchy.

But both 70's F1 cars are great on the ring.

wow! some great stuff last page, like BigT's big turbo setup (I kind of wandered if bigt meant bigturbo). On your youtube video you say above 700hp, and thats a freakin' mustang dyno so thats wheel power not crank, right?
and mustang in general is not a dyno that makes you happy usually. so well done bt, enjoy 8)
Click to expand...

Yeah the 700 hp is at the wheels with a manual transmission, the car now has an automatic in it so it will lose a little from that number but we still have about 10-15 more psi of boost. :) Hopefully the car will be ready to go to the track soon and I'll have some videos of it going down the track. I cant take all the credit though as this is a project that both my brother and I have been working on while also having a great tuner that I think wants to see what the car will do more than us...lol.

P.S: Happy
belated birthday
:D

Big thank you to everyone as it looks like the entry list is pretty much complete and ready to go!

Only thing I do need to know is your team name and also your joker track. You don't need to confirm your joker track until before the race you want to play it, so no rush for that. I would like your team name before Sunday though if possible! :)

Good luck guys.
I'll spectate from the sideline.

Dude, why don't you race with us and step in for whoever is absent that week - meaning the team you're racing for still scores points? And you can still compete in the drivers championship then. I think Zorbs is out for the first week!

Or if you can find a teammate between now and Sunday there is obviously a slot free.

Thanks again!

Ok, need some help.
I was able to find the schedule/tracks and the teams, but I couldnt bring myself to finding the car we'll be using.

So, questions:
- cars?
- painting? if I'm subing for someone, should I have its paiting or do I go stock?
- grid order/qualifying?
- just to make sure, is that GMT -4?

Thanks

Formula Ford

The paint jobs are shared by whoever made them I did sarbear and my teams design so it's on my share for example.

The rest you'll need to talk to spades

EBreda, I won't be around on Sunday. Why don't you take my spot. I'll make a car design for you and share it tonight. Just let me know what number you want to be and I'll set the design up.

Sounds like we have two people so why don't you guys team up?

As per above, missing a week won't hurt you overall as your worst race is removed from the overall standings anyway.

Figure out what you guys want to do and let me know!

Sounds good to me. I'll make the design just in case, my GT is zorbs. I'll put your tag in balboa in the file name so it's easy to search for.

In the meantime, drop op_ivy a PM or something and get this party started. If you guys can team up we have a full grid of 8 teams which will be epic.

Great comparison video here comparing the Nurburgring in each of the Forza games

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itR2j0aWjGQ

Forza 1 holds up nicely in the graphics department..sound not so much, 2 was a huge improvement, with 5 being just about perfect!

Well guys, I've been working hard in something, since it's (almost) the 10th anniversary of the Ring in Forza (apart from the game itself) I thought it would be nice to have a video series with insight on every version of the track, with a final video comparing differences between versions.

And I did it.

Forza Motorsport 2

Forza Motorsport 3

Hope you like it!
