PullThePlug666 5 Report post Posted February 19, 2014 Saturday 8pm GMT Two races back to back with warm-up lap time before each race. Assists, banned.. Other than steering and manual clutch - Cars must stay RW drive Race 1 - Laguna Seca 12 lap race 3 warm-up laps Corvette ZR1 - Upgraded to a Maximum of A700 Race 2 - Le mans Full circuit (with chicanes) 6 lap race 2 warm-up laps Le Mans car #2 Audi Sport North America R8 #1 Audi Team Joest R18 e-tron Quattro #12 Risi Competizone F333 SP #55 Mazda 787B #9 Peugeot Sport Total 908 Unless I'm mistaken, they're the only Le Mans cars which you'd want to be in. The others are second tier speeds. I know they're a bit costly, but the credit awarding system seems to make any car affordable since the patch. I just thought this would be good for the fun factor.. Please put your name and gamertag and I'll add you to the list. 1. Peter / PullThePlug666 2. Matt / MuffxDrivar 3. Tony / Zilla 4. Craig/Lawyer4Ever 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16.

PullThePlug666 5 Report post Posted February 19, 2014 Love this engine idling I should also add, after about 10 minutes bolting on some upgrades and 20 minutes tinkering with what little I'm able to tinker with in the set-up part; I love this car to bits.. Especially on this track. Its a little overpowered as it is, so the limited upgrade capabilities will be interesting. As for the Prototype car.. I could only really play with the set-up. As you'd expect, it drives like a dream. I have the Ferrari from my career, so just going to use that (I can't really afford another one just yet). I was thinking, if anyone doesn't have enough credits for the fast car; if you want to run some practice races in the Corvette with me sometime, I'm sure you can get loads of quick CR. Hit me up if that's an issue at all. I'm also aware that there's actually only 3 cars if you don't have the DLC. I don't think there's an awful lot in the cars.. I initially set-up the Le Mans for 4 laps.. But after practising, you can get around quite quickly in this car so changed it to 2 practice laps followed by a 6 lap race.

PullThePlug666 5 Report post Posted February 19, 2014 Im in Matt/MuffxDrivar ,just gotta go stock up on red bull Awesome!! Really great to have you join us. Do you think your connection will be okay? I hosted last time in the UK, with one other from UK and two from USA.. Seemed to be okay, but I guess you'd expect that with such little numbers. I guess I'll try hosting again, hopefully it works well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MuffxDrivar 14 Report post Posted February 20, 2014 I race regularly with a couple of Brits and guys from the other side of the country and have even started to have ai cars on track in our online races with no problems. I'd say my connection is solid but wouldn't be good enough to host,will see on the day if it is looking dodgy then i will back out and head back to bed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would not mind running a Subaru vs Evo race as long as we race clean and there is some sort of balance! And I agree with running different cars. I just don't want to be in a race where some people have F1 cars, some have v8 supercars.. It just looks messy. I have no problem whatsoever with running different cars if they're similar. Like the Le Mans race for example.. We'll see how it goes.. Just trying to keep it simple at the moment, and everyone having one car works all the time. That is primarily why Darin doesn't want to race with us; because he can't pick which car he wants to race in.. His argument was that the beauty of Forza is that there's such a variety of cars to choose from, why would he want to race in the same car as everyone else.. Which was fair enough.. But, I don't like races where I'm forced to pick a quick car in order to compete. We'll see what happens. Hopefully we get a few more sign up as these cars on these tracks are brilliant fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PullThePlug666 5 Report post Posted February 21, 2014 Probably going to be quite a lonely few races tomorrow by the looks of it. All the same, I'm banking on it being very good fun like last week.. A few more with us would be nice. We have a couple more starting next week, so the numbers should start getting better. A bit annoying about these wretched time differences, haha. UK, two in USA and one in Australia this week Feel free to invite any of your friends if you feel they might be up for. Peace ya'll Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PullThePlug666 5 Report post Posted February 22, 2014 Thanks for coming this evening, especially Matt for waking up at an ungodly hour to join us I'm thinking, the only fair way around this is to alternate the race time every week.. Its going to be quite hard to please everyone; so its more fair that we all have a race time that suits one week and one where its a pain in the ass another. Tony would prefer to have one at 9pm his time, which is 3am my time, 11am where Matt is. . Would probably be better to have three race time alternating thinking about it.. If you could throw in some race time preferences, as well as some car suggestions too; we'll try and agree to a timetable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PullThePlug666 5 Report post Posted February 23, 2014 Just been going through some cars.. Going to put some suggestions down to see if any take your fancy Would just have to agree on a maximum PI, that would depend on which track we run There potentially 4 cars we could choose from for a single race by the looks of it..

PullThePlug666 5 Report post Posted February 24, 2014 I'm going to set up a race later. Due to lack of input I don't really know what to do with race time.. I'm thinking of changing it anyway, also running two sessions. If Tony see this, can you let me know what time would suit you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChedOCide Zilla 6 Report post Posted February 24, 2014 Might not reply right away but I am watching posts...I have a hard time with the middle of a weekend day as that is one my ladies days off. If it is later in the evening just makes it easier for me, I am also in NW US, but have had fun running with you all...like I said anytime someone's not crashing into me on turn 1 on prupose, success!

All good. I just don't want to leave it late in the week setting the race as we might be able to get more join if I put it up early. I made the decision on the cars and tracks for this week and next (so I can put it up next Sunday). I'm running a race Friday evening for European friendly times.. Then, I'm hoping to make an identical set of races for this Saturday at a time that suits you. I can't remember what time was good for you. So, if you tell me say 8 or 9 PM your time on Saturday, and tell me what to advertise it as (which time zone), then I'll set up the other lobby right away which will be identical to the one I've made already And yeah it is fun. Shame we can't get more people joining us. I'm hoping that like-minded people will eventually join. I was a little gutted I didn't practice more for last week as its always more fun being in the mix. Saying that, I was cruising for nearly a full lap before we restarted one of the times I'm hoping we'll get some extra sign up for Friday and Saturday race. I'm going to do my best to run both races if I get enough numbers.. I know there's a bunch of league races in and around 8GMT on Saturdays, so hopefully we'll get some more interest from one of the alternative race days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
