Yeah again I realize I am terribly slow, LOL.

Aside from some members not having/using mics or maybe shy communications could help with making the races cleaner. I, myself, even though I admit I am a lot slower than majority in the club, am always worried when approaching a corner that I will have someone hit me from behind or when positioning myself for the turn coming up that I will not see the person a tad to my side and cause one or both of us to spin out. Can someone who knows racing explain to me or refer me to help me understand proper racing etiquette? Just never sure if I am the one who is potentially causing mishaps or if others are.

Just put this up..

Yeah, Forcone, don't ya know how to tune an Amurican car! And I formally apologize on here too if I cause anyone to mess up, but we should definitely be in lobby chat or 1 party.

Also I think that's been the biggest turnout of people hasn't it?

 

[Carlos]

Got bumped into second corner Wanted to compete with Forcone and Hamster so bad, oh well.. From 10th to third aint that bad!

Thanks for the fun all 👍 Now sleepy times ^^

Oh and Jeremy, please ask your gf never to sing a JB song again. ><

 

[Silent Drifter]

How many people showed up to race?

Sorry I couldn't make it to the race. Had my car ready to race, but the day didn't turn out how I would have liked. Did join you guys for a little while, and just for the record, if they are any classes that I'm not comfortable with, it is R1-R2.

 

[Patrick]

I'm sorry if I hit anyone. I know I spun Chris on accident on the long twisty track. Sorry. You also seemed to somehow get involved in a wreck practically every race. Had a lot of fun though.

 

[Wiggs]

Can someone please send me the replay from the Corvette race? I forgot to save it....thanks in advance.

Now for the pictures...

And were off....

Turn 1....

Me and Carlos get tangled up....

which causes a chain reaction...

which also send Carlos all the way back to 9th...

Lap 3 the battle for the lead between A Man Hamster and Forcone begins...

Carlos starts to make his move to get back in the race by passing Avvsom3 for 5th...

2 turns later Carlos takes another spot for 4th...

Lap 5 Forcone is really putting the heat on A Man Hamster for the lead...

Iv'e heard of the term "digging" but Carlos took it to another level here...

I pushed too hard trying to keep in front of Carlos...

Lap 13 Forcone is pushing as hard as possible to track down the lead...

Lap 14 Forcone gets along side of the leader...

Final turn Forcone is right on A Man Hamster's bumper...

Who is going to win it?...

It's a photo finish...

A Man Hamster FTW!!!
Forcone's car just didn't have the power it needed on the straights.


If this had been a 20 lap race Carlos may have made the comeback complete...

Great racing with you guys today!

I will be announcing this weeks events (Club Championship week 1) sometime later tonight.

 

[II-zOoLoGy-II]

It would so happen I miss the race with the LS6. I will finally be back home tomorrow after weeks away.

Then, I have to get used to a wheel again.

I must say, though I am not a fan of the corvette (don't hate me Chris) they do look mighty sexy when there is a plethora of them.............

Club Member Attention

The current garage limit for a Car Club in Forza 4 is 200. We have currently maxed out our garage and after reviewing the garage, there are many cars that may be stock and many duplicates.

To help in cleaning up the garage, we ask that you remove any stock cars you may have shared. To keep the FPM garage unique, please only share cars that are tuned*.

*Unicorn cars may be shared without any modifications. Loaner cars may be stock if current Club race requires.

Most of us have had our ''Achievement'' pop up, so lets rid the garage of stock cars and share our talent for tuning's and get our club higher on the leader board's!

We are currently removing any cars that have 0 races and/or haven't been used in the last 30+ days. So if you notice a car you may have shared is missing, this is why.

Thanks guys!👍

 

[zr1chris]

^ I approve this message

Thanks Jimbo!

Update: I removed 36 cars that weren't being used from our club garage to make space for other cars that may be more useful to our members.

She said she would sing a special one for you. The reason though is because she got a gag gift toothbrush with that on it. And also she was trying to get 'yall to talk.

Thanks guys!👍

No, thank you.

 

[Fezz_ST]

Got racing with you all last night for a while, might leave my club (which does absolutely no racing online what so ever) and apply to join FPM

LOL, i forgot!! I trusted the mighty LS6 had the power bone stock, but no! Me and my cornering speeds...MEH. Next time I'll be fitting a supercharger the size of an elephant under the bonnet!

Chris, love the photos!! That one with just a couple inches in between is just brilliant!!

 

[Carlos]

Hahahaha Was I really lagging that bad? =(

Wow, well it can get decent power that way.

And I cant remember what lap you were glued to my bumper...oh yes, all of them.

100MPH winds have destroyed my roof and phone lines, So I have no network other than my 3G wireless dongle.. that's my racing stuffed i think..

EDIT: sharing my 3G network via my router and I'm downloading the January car pack

Wonder what an online race is like with 3G connections?

I hope you'll be alright man! And yeah... going online through 3G *must* be fun

Club Member Attention

Thanks guys!👍

Thanks so much for this! I've been dying to share some more tuned cars but the garage is always full! 👍

 

[Melting Brains]

Last night was great racing! I had a lot of fun with you guys, although sometimes it got a bit too rough. I used zr1's Corvette because I didn't think I would make the race and hadn't tuned any for it But it's a good car! Too bad I needed 4-5 laps to get used to it

 

[Wiggs]

which causes a chain reaction...

That's me going vertical I ended up dead last after that and was only able to move up 2 spots from 10th to 8th.

Hope everything works out for you. You'll probably take lag to a whole different level using a 3g connection.

I think I found myself a fast qualification car

All fast qualification cars are required to be shared in the club garage!

 

[Carlos]

I'll share it on the last qualification day. The tune is pretty basic though, only camber and aero!

Guess this DLC came out at just the right time for you.

I had 3rd for what seemed like 30 seconds before Forcone passed me. I have about .4 to gain with the car i'm using. I will probably give it another shot tonight.

And I got the ol' friend RROD once again!! Have to see when I can be bothered to fix it.. Should really buy a new Xbox, but I will not.
