Now that we've all have had time to get used to the new game, it's time for some ForzaGAF racing league fun.
Here's how it works:
Every Saturday we will get together and race. The class/car is set for four weeks. After that we switch to another set of rules. Scores will be kept, we'll be using F1 scoring for the standings. A race day shouldn't take more than 45 minutes, so it won't be such a huge time commitment for folks. For those that can't make it out but want to join in the fun we'll be doing time trials for the race day track. You can post your times here and I'll keep standings for those as well. We can't verify times exactly so I'll just have to trust you.
We did this with Forza 5 and it was a blast. Hopefully we can have a good turnout this year too. We race fairly seriously, but we are all there to have fun. Don't worry about being a superstar at the game. I always come in the bottom half of the standings but still have a great time.
Our first week will be Saturday October 10th at 3pm Eastern if I'm not mistaken. We have some wiggle room if that time doesn't work for everyone.
Race details:
Class: C500 (Any Car) Tunes are OK
Track: Rio de Janeiro - Coast Loop (Reverse)
Who's in?
Forza 5's winner:
Thanks to Frontieruk for doing all the heavy lifting with the survey and data collecting. Great stuff dude!
I'm sure I forgot to mention something. So if you have questions let me know.
I'll try to be there too!

Weren't there some bi-laws, only allowing P3Tran, Scr0ne and DeadPoul to run unmodified E class cars no matter what Class the Tourny is, and something about banning the Maple Syrup Mafia from using the Ghurka

Good thing there will be a race the following weekend
Oh yeah, definitely, would have liked to have joined in, but Iceland is going to be epic!
I'm up for the following weekend for sure, my wife works every other weekend, so have gaming time available when she's working

P3tran - Can't reply here, but come on, he's in.

I'll play if I'm free, I have no hope of a podium place so I'll take up the enforcer role and just take out p3tran on the first corner.
*Brofist*
P3Tran sucks at driving in cockpit view, so if we lock the lobby into cockpit view we win.

I think it depends on what you what.
The 300K packs do seem like the best if you're going for XP cards.
150K are best if you're going for the Back of the Pack mod.
For most of the other achievement mods, you're better off going with 50K packs.
Add Grimmsticks if that's OK. I know he doesn't post much.
You should take a collection this time. Maybe PayPal or we can send you Xbox credit lol.

I'm in.
Just hope that people will pick cars because they like them and not because they're ridiculously dominant in that class like some Mini Cooper tunes in B-class for example. With a good car and track diversity that system will be super fun, very happy here.
Fantastic system!

CrudeDiatribe. I wonder if P3tran can read this despite GAF posting being cut under austerity measures like his audio feed from Canada was.
Question: Is the car we pick for this week the car we will use for the next three weeks? Or any C500 car for any given race?

Is that the 1st place AI?

I believe I can fly
Everytime the race starts I always get out of the way and let everybody pass and then I try to catch up from the last position (because I am a terrible player and prone to cause accidents when trying to fight for my place) that's why I am on the grass at the beginning, but still I get rammed, sheesh.

Oh you can miss a week or two... Don't forget you can score by posting your time trial time in the PI class / track combo so you can negate the score deficit

Just because I doubt anyone else on GAF would care but you guys but I just got the greatest birthday gift ever today.
My wife secretly had my M3 towed to a place and fixed for my birthday. The car has been sitting for almost 2 years because of a massive problem with the rear brakes/suspension. But she got it fixed and took me to it today. I am so fuckin happy! I have been driving a goddam minivan for so long I forgot what driving a real car was like.
Seriously, best wife ever!

Thanks guys! Seriously, going from that to driving a minivan for years does something to a car guy. Having my girl back feels SOO good.
Plus, you know, the awesome wife.

I just launched the game and received every rewards, again, including the 25 000 000 Cr oO
I think it's because I played offline last night when the Live was down, the game couldn't sync my save.

Yo, sign me up for that tourney! Are collisions on or off?
And congrats on the awesome car and wife Shortt Sirket.
Collisions on, but cosmetic damage unless you forget to turn it off locally...

If one of those things is Free Play car selection, I'll be ecstatic.
I think we can let you change up if you pick a lemon the first week. I just hope we won't see "cheat cars" as P3tran calls them. We are here to have fun after all.

On a total side note, I made my first livery yesterday and wanted to share it here. It's inspired by Steel Battalion. It took me longer to make than I care to admit, so I feel I have to share it.
Happy birthday Shortt! How did you not notice the car missing? Best wife ever for sure!
