Needs a Japanese track pack before selling me more cars.
Suzuka, Tsukuba and *spit* Twin Ring Motegi.
Long beach was a hell of a race. Soundscream would have loved it. This weekend we are headed to Circuit de Catalunya.
The standings have been updated. P3tran has a strong lead right now, but BIGT468 has quietly taken 2nd place. Three racers have more than 200 points with two more ready to crest that number. And something I never thought would happen, I've made it to the top 10! lol
Race day schedule:
We will have a 4 lap practice race with collisions off. You will try to get your best time in this race. The real race will use best lap times in ascending order for grid placement. Collisions will be always on, make sure to turn off sim damage on your end.
As always the lobby will be up at 3:00pm Eastern, but this series will happen on Sunday. The race should take 15 - 20 minutes to finish. After the race feel free to stick around and do more races with the group.
Can't make it on Sunday? Join in the fun by doing this weeks time trial. Post your best time on this weeks track before the race on Sunday to be included. Points will be given on time trials as well as the actual race.
Sunday race will be Circuit de Catalunya - Full Circuit
Don't forget that the car you use in time trial is the car you use on race day. Also the car you pick is the car you keep for the whole series.
Who can join?
Anyone on GAF is more than welcome to join. Just picked up FM6? leave me your GT and I'll send you an invite on race day. Simple as that.
Lets give Sunday one more try with this series. If the turn out is weak, I have no problem switching back to Saturday.
Questions/Suggestions? I'm all ears.

Yooooo, that Formula Mazda is fun as hell. It's got grip for days.

Does the vibration set high make anybody else's TX wheel rattle?
Sounds like it comes from the right hand side, the bolts on my wheelstand are tight but that's the kind of thing it sounds like.

Ah shit.
Cheers, it's been bugging me since the F6 demo. Time to pull some shit apart.
Edit: ooh found the problem, all this time it was just the Guide button rattling.
Just have to tape it down a bit.

Cant say Im too happy with the pack, I like the Lykan mostly, the rest of the car are not really interesting to me, Im kind of down for all the great cars that Forza 4 had and are still missing in Forza 6.

Explain? Why would this lower the engine sounds? Legit question, actually confused. Thanks.

Seem to be putting down some more consistant times and find catching some cars easier when they begin to oversteer. Wondering if it had to do with any recent changes or just having a break from the game. Feels good, whatever.
Long time since I posted but here is something I found and to add to potential future track list:
(It's the Homestead-Miami Speedway logo. )

D'oh! I saw the comments about suspending the competition over the holidays, but missed the new Jan 3 date...
Too late, but my Long Beach time was: 1:26.978
Current, but maybe not final, Catalunya time: 1:58.686

For some one who doesn't make it to the race days, you are doing amazing with just time trail points. Keep it up dude. Feel free to join us on Sunday if you have the time.

Not sure if this was already in the game (1971 312P, right?), but if it isn't, T10 are hinting that it'll be this month's free car:
Something about the livestream at 3PM Pacific.

It is not in the game, so that must be the free car.

Could it be that the tight-slow-corner snap-oversteer issue is gone??
After I had the this suspicious feeling, I tried a car of which I remembered the issue to be very present (Audi R8 LM) on 3 different tracks (Hockenheim GP, Brands Hatch GP and Yas Marina at night) and it felt significantly better, but to be honest, I'm still not sure if I'm just imagining this.
This makes me think that I'm right, too:

Could someone else try to confirm that the snap-oversteer issue is better now?

Yeah it does seem much improved, I'm really liking the way the cars are quite predictable now and the ffb comes back to life when grip is regained.
The game doesn't feel any better on a wheel to me for what it's worth. Maybe they improved only some cars or maybe they just changed default tunes, both could explain why it felt the same to me.
Still crappy center feel, and the FFB still basically disappears once you lose grip

I went back to simulation steering and it was good, then I even set the sensitivity on my wheel to 1 (highest) and while the game of course is not easier now, it feels harder in a believable way. As it was before, I thought of the simulation steering option as exaggerated and harder than real life in a little ridiculous way, but with the physics change from the last patch I now can believe that a car would behave and fishtail like that when I did this.
Pretty sure I'm not imagining this.

Hockey playoffs won't be on for months. Come on man.
We won't be racing the weekend of superbowl either.

Didn't realise the 312 P wasn't in the game already, it was in Forza 4 and 5 wasn't it?
My team has a bye.

Hehe, a Leafs fan talking about playoffs.
Kick me while I'm down. Ice cold Jello. Ice cold.
I mean, I shouldn't talk much as the Flyers haven't won the cup since 1975. But I can't help but poke fun at Leafs fans.
My time for the Catalunya circuit will be 02:00.779
I think it's top 50%, that's like everyone who isn't drunk or going backwards.
But I'm not super familiar with percentile, so i could be wrong.

I'm top 26% right now after three races. Lots of shit drivers and crashes too. Getting 24 car lobbies though, people want a unicorn I suppose.
A shame there's so many fucking corner cutters in this game.

What about the GP America logo (between Alps and Miami) is that for Port Imperial Street Circuit?

Hahaha you know it's bad when you're digging up moments from the past.
Please move it back to Saturday so I can make these races
I umm... you were... umm... you were a big target...
