Forza Planet Motorsports Season 2

[Wiggs]

Did you get a top 100 time Wiggs? If so that's very nice 👍

Hahaha lol @ Hamster. I woulnd't mind if you host, I raced alot more races with you as a host 👍 Although it's been a while...

Forcone got the top 100 time (#88 on Ladera Mini) with my tune. I could only get #150 there. He also got #103 on Tsukuba Short and I got #164. *EDIT* Still haven't put up a decent clean lap in R1 qualifying. The only clean time I put up so far is terribly slow.

Me neither, I don't think I even will. Tried it again today and did a bit better switching SEN on my wheel to 360 to speed up the steering but still sucked and touched grass here and there to invalidate the lap which completely put me off...

 

[Forcone]

Come to think of it, I should've sold my Sierra tune when I had that #1 on that Laguna Seca Autocross...I could've made miiiillions! Not that I need any..

The course is so long that it really pisses me off when I make a mistake in the last sector, therefore invalidating the next lap. Not fun at all!

I'm sure you can still put it up and make a few extra credits. The only guys that make millions do it based off name recognition and because of who they know most of the time. I just want to get a little compensation for the work I put in....I'd be happy with 100 downloads and a few positive ratings.

If you guys come online now we can run some laps on Le Mans together..

Both nice times with the C class car! Now get your ass back in R1!!

Btw Wiggs, if you screw up in the last sector, rewind and do it again and your next lap will be clean..

 

[Fezz_ST]

I'll be on in a few hours if anyone is on and wants to try and qualify

I'm about to go run some errands....maybe later. 👍

Especially with how long that last sector is.

 

[MuchoJimbo]

Just wait until we do our 1 lap grid order, that is going to take days......

UPDATE, I may make it in time tomorrow, I might not bring my toolbox until Monday. Will post a message in the AM Saturday to let everyone know what the deal is.

Just kidding about the 1 lapper, we will do that on a short track.

For anyone who cares, I've just released a top 100 (thanks to Forcone ) C class '94 MX-5 Miata tune on my storefront. The tune is 5k but I'll gift it to any FPM member as long as you promise to give honest feedback and rate the tune for me, good or bad. I know it's not relevant to season 2 but what the heck. Please pick up the free Traqmate paint for the car from Spagetti69 also. Thanks.

Yes Please

 

[Carlos]

Congrats with your job Def! 👍

 

[Wiggs]

Yes Please

I'll send it in a few. 👍

I have a F458 GT tune that has 50 downloads and that was with a top 150 rivals time, I agree it has a LOT to do with who the person is, but if you market it correctly it'll get 100's of downloads

(by marketing correctly I mean make a big deal of it in the FM.net forums)

I made well over 20,000,000 doing that in FM2 which didn't even have storefront!

I actually have it posted on FM.net but it hasn't drawn much attention yet.....probably because I don't have ECT, FTW, V12, HMR, APEX, VVV, etc. in front of my name. Any of those guys can start a thread just saying "Coming Soon" and it gets hundreds of views and dozens of comments within minutes...even for lobby tunes that only run in the top 300 to 1000. I'm not part of the FM.net clique. It's ok though...I'm happy with a few downloads and ratings. *EDIT* My thread on FM.net now has 78 views and 1 reply.

Thanks Carlos...you too Jimbo. 👍 I may get on in a few minutes Carlos....I can't stay on for long though. *EDIT* Carlos, I was just on but you weren't...so see ya tomorrow.

 

[Carlos]

Sorry Wiggs, had to go to the gasstation real quick..

 

[Wiggs]

No problem. See ya tomorrow.

 

[Patrick]

Me today. Go on XBOX wanting to improve my lap time. Play Red Dead Redemption for 4 hours. Doh!

EDIT- I won't make the race because my baseball coach called a practice a 10:30 tomorrow. My week was game Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, practice today, and practice tomorrow before our game tomorrow. I'm quite tired.

I see that, luckily I did a 1:25.XX so it seems it will be a lonely 2nd for me. (because I will pass you)

^thats about where it should be. But I admit, Hennessy did have a faster ping.

 

[Carlos]

We shall see Hamster... My race pace is around my qualification time so I hope I can hang on. It's going to be a nice race for sure!

32ms is alright. Nice upload speed too.

 

[Thatman]

Oh I know, we can run the B class race again first and see if its another disaster. That way we can be testing under the same conditions. Though I still don't know If everyone would have NAT issues.

 

[Carlos]

Jimbo is going to host right? He send a message on XB..

Btw, if I have to believe results thread, your qualification time is second........

 

[Thatman]

Yeah I see he is home.

But no,no,no, you can have second. I did that time at about 11:30pm Central time last night.

 

[Carlos]

Thanks Hamster!

 

[Thatman]

No problemo, tis only fair.👍

 

[Thatman]

Hey good race yall!

 

[zr1chris]

That was a great race for 2nd. Had it for a couple laps and screwed up the first section by hitting one of those speed bumps on the side of the corner and sent me sideways into the dirt.
I had no idea Hennessey was so close to me at the end. I wouldnt have pushed so hard going into the last corner to try and catch Carlos.

 

[Wiggs]

I haven't watched the replay yet, but I'm pretty sure I caused the wreck on lap 1 when I locked my brakes and slid into the back of someone. I apologize. I'll watch the replay later and gift a car to anyone who's race I screwed up.

Yeah those yellow bumps are brutal.

I was going back and forth with Teewiggs for a bit but then lost it and never was ablt to catch up, got about 13 seconds behind then wrecked again...........oh well.

As for the Make-Up B Class race, I am now working Saturdays until 1:30 and live about 30 minutes from the shop so either we can make the race up this Sat but start it a once I get home (approx 2 hours later than normal) or if someone wants to host? Doesn't matter to me as I have no chance of a podium but also wouldn't mind racing one last time this season. I am sure every's schedule will be different so let me know, thanks!
