This is what I've been doing until a few weeks ago...All North American people aged between 25 and 60 running on Sunday nights, which fits much better with my social life ! The top 8 in the rankings are all experienced Forza gamers with about the same mileage in the game so that made for very entertaining racing ! No "alien type" racers with outrageous training like we find here though... Cars had to be R3 based with a max PI of 744 and NO assists allowed ! We mostly had #45 RSR's, Jaguar's, and #2 Viper Comp's...(no Corvettes, the Speed GT ones are too difficult to handle without assists !) The race format went by lobby points following a 3 lap qualifier, a 30 minutes race #1 and a REVERSE finishing order 30 minutes race #2 ! I didn't win every races but got pole in 7 out of 8 and first place in race #1 in 7 out of 8 ! Race 2 ranged between first and fifth place but concistency in quali and race #1 paid off...... I was driving my own Falken RSR : ![]() Uploaded with ImageShack.us And here are the results : ![]() Uploaded with ImageShack.us The guys gave up on the last race at Iberian, it was judged too tight and in practice I was 1 sec. + in front of anybody... Here are some of my times (always with #45 RSR) during this championship : Road Atlanta - 1:17.5 Road America - 2:01.3 / 2:01.45 Viper / 2:01.6 Jaguar..... Catalunya - 1:44.0 Mugello - 1:46.0 Silverstone - 1:45.2 Maple Valley - 1:22.3 Sedona - 2:06.75 Edited by michel944, Aug 3 2011, 03:06:52 PM.

1:47.5 at Road Atlanta. I assume that's a typo?
Dislike this statement mucho by the way...

you should take it as a compliment, your soooooo good that your out of this world! at least the alien type part, not so much about the outrageous training, that's a little different. |

Yeahh, 1:17.5 ! I didn't say that negatively Jonny....This is what it is, let's face it ! There are the "leisure" players wanting to have fun and doing so even if they are 4+ seconds behind, then the "serious" players trying to keep up with the top guns but who are working full time and need to clean the house and prepare the meals and can spend only a few hours per week, like myself or mikelikebagette for example.....and then there are you, James, Shifty, Matti Dude, etc., guys who will put thousands of miles in their main race car to try and win at every race ! And it's your right, that's fine by me. It's just that at first I put too much pressure on myself trying to keep up with you but I finally realized that the context was different and there was no way I would beat you !

I put less work in than you think. I can't rival the Ferraris in that regard. I do have a life you know, I don't spend every second of every minute of every day on Forza... And also, I also do it because I enjoy it. It's a hobby. Otherwise I wouldn't be here. Yes, I want to win, but doesn't everyone? It's racing at the end of the day. On a video game, but still racing. |

Hummm, this is not a fair comment son, you saw the close battles and close lap times ! At least 4 of these guys could hold their own in here and not trail the pack ! At Maple Valley against PlasticPig and TooOld in their Jags we were doing 1:22's lap after lap after lap during both 30 minute races while staying within a few hundred feet all the way !!! At Road Atlanta I was the only one in the 1:17's but they were at least 4 in the 1:18's, at Road America I ran 2:01's but there were about 5 guys running 2:02's...... I don't think guys who suck at racing would run these times.....

Yes, standard cars - RESTRICTORS ON - with a max PI of 744, so we can put race brakes on the RSR, Jag, BMW, Ford GT ! The #2 Viper gets mods to move it to 744 and it is quite close to the others ! Don't forget that these are times WITHOUT any assists.... Edited by michel944, Aug 4 2011, 05:05:24 PM.

What I mean is, they don't have the mentality of a racer... Hence why they all quit with 2 rounds to go ! (Only a couple of guys showed up at Road Am) I don't think they would be able to do endurance races... From what I saw, they have trouble staying clean... (Not all of them) Especially Kayearc !!! Yes, they can be relatively fast, but as a whole, I don't think I would take one of them as my teammate or co-driver... But hey, it doesn't mean they can't "play" though !

That's what I thought ruckus was trying to say, not that they arent fast but that they aren't like racers, like a lewis hamilton. |

I don't think they would like 2 or 3.5 hrs races, I raced one hr. events with them last year and that's the maximum time a "normal" person will endure.... Here we are crazy, that's a different story.....And by the way RickyTan did a night practice with me and these Corvette Forum guys before the Sedona round and he can probably confirm that some of them can drive !

I'm surprised you said that because McLaren kicked Ferrari's ass in 1998 1998-2000 were the best three seasons of F1 in my opinion. A great Ferrari vs McLaren rivalry, Schumacher vs Hakkinen.
