Hi,
new poster on the pistonheads forum (addicted to it already). Looks like you guys have some awesome forza racing nights, would love to get involved. I just started playing the game again and really want to get some online racing in.

Used to do it with some guys from minifinity (mini forum) and its just awesome fun, seeing everyones designs just as great as the racing.

Anyone fancy racing? Or can anyone point me in the direction of some organised events?

cheers guys, sent you friends requests already, look forward to some racing.

Had to start the game again so still building up my gargae (about 27% through races), will have to let me know what cars you race or the limits you set so i can prepare some racers, by prepare i mean plaster them in graphics smile

ONly been playing it oagain over the last week, so m lap times are poor , but hopefully ill be pulled along by the pack. Just read the thread on the tournament you guys did in the seat leons, that was awesome.

Tried playing this online but everyone I seem to see has the fastest Ferrari (cannot remember name) tunes to max and just blats round knocking everyone off. V.tedious frown

I'm a fan of choosing normal class cars and making it interesting. smile

Scotty it's worth building a car to B700 specification as most have them and it's the most competitive class IMO. Most go for Leon, Golf, Clio, Mini, Astra or Honda's but to stay below B700 is tough. I tend to upgrade the handling before adding power, but play around and see.

cheers muz wez, will get on that tonight, none of my mates play forza and i find playing online against random people is rubbish, always some one who wants to play destruction derby, or cars that are so fast its over in minutes.

Used to do a class mini racing that was great fun, everony had pretty much the same spec car so very close, no one ever won two in a row.

Scotty as well as building B700 car, get some good A850 cars. A&B class racing is normally pretty tight so we have some good PH races.

Most nights, Friday and Saturday nights are very highly fuelled, (malt, lager, ale, port or anything else). Rest of the week 3 or 4 of us on most nights. Race for a few hours, lots of different cars and classes, often 1 make 'stock' stuff (F50's and TVR's are fun)



and of course tracks and then to finish things off the occasional banger race smile
