forza2, n00b friendly race tonight?

[isee]

when I say n00b friendly i mean those low on credits and not too clued up on correct tuning for the correct track.
If you are like me: cant keep a car on the track then that's your problem

So how about it? I was thinking maybe 5 laps of silverstone in D class?

GT: ISeeDP

I can Tune cars and know the tracks, But If I use my steering wheel would that count as a sufficient handicap? =D

best time for me is 16:30 - 17:00 for a couple of casual races as that's the time between me getting home and the girlfriend getting in.

Else I usually have an hour or so free just after 21:00.

I'll add you tonight and sort you out a A850 that fully sorted for beginners.

I don't get in until 18:00 but 21:00 could be arranged
You definitely in?
Let's do this

Nice thanks! I'm happy to repay within reason and on a finance deal

Are you up for it at 21:00 this evening?

[GasolineFire]

9 O'clock it is then... D Class, is that D400 PI? or Stock D cars?...

I can kind of drive my upgraded D Class Golf GTI with my steering wheel... =D

... kind of.

[Babu 01]

See you at 9 fellas.

Hmm stock is an interesting idea but let's go for D 400 PI. I think I'll downgrade my etype for it, should be fun. Don't worry about your steering wheel I can not resist driving into a barrier even if i had done 4 laps flawlessly before that... So provied you take it nice and slow, you will not come last

Guys, please leave your gamertags here too so we can add each other quickly/er

How very dare you!

Slightly off topic but:
Is it acceptable when you are in a slightly oversteering turn someone behind you gently nudges you in theback sending you spinning?

I just felt very dirty when someone behind me done that, especially since the turn was sweeping so it's not like the guy failed to brake as quickly as me, he literally bumped, moved out of the way and went on to race, sending me from 2nd to a distant last.
Admittedly I feel quite proud of managing to stop my veins in the forehead pulsing with venom and resuming with the race...

[KingRichard]

I'm up for this race tonight... Not sure if I have a car that qualifies... Would someone be able to gift me an eligible car if not?

Otherwise I'll bring my do-luck supra to the party

Maybe I should renounce my participation in this race after all >.>

I usually Race in American Muscle cars which have quite a long braking distance and I race quite close anyway. Combine that with me using the Steering Wheel and It could be a recipie for disaster...

I think that since the PH races tend to be fairly close (usually consisting of 2 or 3 battles consistantly taking place through out the races) that bumps will inevitably happen and sometimes a little bump in the wrong place can make a big difference.

Insistantly smashing someone out of the running is out of order (Plato), Trading Paint is Racing

Well st happens and nobody is safe from it, it's just when it looks intentional that I personally have a problem with.
I think if its PHers and limited to friends list the chances of that are minimised

[GasolineFire]

If I'm honest, I get more annoyed by people cutting corners. I.E. Road atlanta, 3rd Corner.

My Girlfriend always ends up trying to smash me off the track because she gets frustrated at getting left behind...

... I'm actually getting quite good at dodging now
