Here's my Audi's, not sure which one to use for the race, any votes?

 

[zr1chris]

Both are good as usual but my vote goes to Denso!

Those shiny wheels got to ya, I know, LOL.

I am not familiar with body kits, so I am not sure if my placements are accurate or relevant, still fun to see how a few paint shapes can add dimension.

 

[Thatman]

Sorry guys Can't race with you tonight! I'm going out with some friends..

What? We are friends too! Have fun though.

Completely forgot I'm heading out tonight for my girlfriends birthday tonight, but should be able to do the race its 7pm gmt right?

Something like that. Sounds about right for you.

^that one. And then you should send it to me so I can put the vents and fender flares on everything.
(placement was fine, it should fool my Flamve since he put "body kits" on a few cars)

Yup. I like the red wheels with the chrome lip. 👍

Too bad you can't make it...have fun.

Wow, you are really talented! I like them both...I say flip a coin. 👍

 

[Forcone]

Ahh man I hate this thing. I either understeer wildly into some barrier or then 4wd drift in every single corner. I hate 4wd, so hard to setup properly

 

[zr1chris]

Spagetti's car that he gifted me is in the club garage and can be used for today's race if anyone would like.


Here is my car that I will be racing. Pretty basic design but I think it looks ok. (The Loaner is exactly the same just yellow instead of blue.)

 

[Forcone]

And Hey guys! Just a friendly reminder: this Twin Ring Motegi we're racing has very little "flow" to it. Lots of accelerating and braking. So pay attention to you're braking points. It's much nicer for all of us if we're not all over the place crashing in to one another even though we might be that little bit slower that way. Usually we aren't though. At least in my case, slow = fast in many occasions!

 

[Thatman]

On that note too, are we all going to be in party chat or in the lobby chat? That would obviously help communication.

If I could only use the mic....

 

[Forcone]

Sorry guys, I had to quit after the race, I haven't eaten yet!

I couldn't drive that thing for ****!!! And those two, DeadlyDC and Fezz ST, seriously. Seriously. I nearly shed a tear watching that meter count rise and rise.

edit: and hey, what happened to Hamster?!!

Damn, we really got some super fast guys in this club when given the right tools!!

 

[Fezz_ST]

Thanks Forcone, was a great battle between Deadly and myself, completely forgot to save the replay though

Well pleased I won the first race

I haven't watched the replay yet, but someone didn't pay attention to this. I was knocked off course on the very first corner, taking me from first to 9th! I moved up a few positions and finished either 4th or 5th but I could have been much higher! It wouldn't bother me to be passed on the track cleanly by faster drivers, but this was not the case!

 

[ImaRobot]

@Loaded and Fezz, looking good. Keep it up and while most others play forza for the racing, I enjoy creating liveries and seeing others creations, so keep em coming. It's really cool if you keep at it and save older, beginning projects to then compare to later ones and see your evolution.

Here's my Audi's, not sure which one to use for the race, any votes?

Im not sure how often ima use the livery editor because i go blank for ideas haha. Im not to creative.

I really like this audi better, looks really aggressive!

Pfffft you say you couldnt drive that car, but you managed to stay exactly 6 secs ahead of me the entire race. Mine wasnt to hard to handle but it seemed way slower speed wise compared to some of you.

As for hamster me and Zr1chris where tailing him for a bit then on the very last turn he suddenly spun off track and quit. It was getting intense to

 

[zr1chris]

I can confirm the mic has nothing to do with the glitch.

BTW Please don't forget to send me the replay. I was so disgusted after getting the glitch and having my race ruined by it that I forgot to save it.

That would be great if a few people could save the replay as a backup plan in case I forget :dounce: I have no way of getting the finishing order without it.

Whats this glitch you guys are talking about?

The wheel goes full lock either right or left and the accelerator goes full throttle and you can't do anything until you turn the wheel off and back on again. It has only happened to me while racing online but has happened a few times.

Is that why you spun out all crazy? I was confused because you were taking that turn so much faster then me, then all of a sudden on one lap you spun really bad.

No that was just driver error when I was in front of you but a few laps later while I was trying to catch back up to you it happened and sent me all the way to the back and I never had enough time to recover. I had just caught back up to 7th as I crossed the finish but still finished 8th.

 

[ImaRobot]

I was wondering where your name went on the placing. One second you where still a place behind me, then when i look again teewigs was behind me. Had a really good battle with you. That same turn you spun on, a couple laps before that i almost slammed you off the course. I wasnt paying attention to the road cus i was looking at my rpms haha. I ended up flying through the inside of the turn and almost slammed right into you, but managed to break just in time.

Sounds like the good ol' mic+wheel bug!

edit: Oh, didn't notice Chris's message about this. At least I haven't had the bug happen anymore with the mic taken off. I had the short adapter wire on the wheel before without the mic and had the issues. Now I have nothing plugged to the wheel and it has worked flawlessly. Good luck, maybe?

Yeah I wasn't using the mic and still got the glitch. I guess we can say I was having mechanical issues.

When do you think you can gift me that replay? I'd like to post the results as soon as possible.

Oh yeah, sorry! I'll switch the box on right away before going to bed!

That glitch really really sucks. I honestly feel for you. You may remember my "slight" frustration with the 350 Z race....

BTW, can you send me those liveries you posted before??

Definitely Thanks Forcone!! Your a lifesaver saving that replay!

 

[MuchoJimbo]

Suffering Succotash, I totally missed the race. I got the times confused and for some reason thinking it was at 7pm Central time..................who placed last? Would like to tell them they would have been second to last if I did show up.

 

[Forcone]

MAN HAMSTER, why on earth did you give up!!! You would've easily finished 4-5th even though that crash occured!

edit: Chris, I'm sending you the replay right now

 

[zr1chris]

Agreed! 4th or 5th would still have gotten decent points after that 3rd place finish in qualifying.

edit: Chris, I'm sending you the replay right now

Huge thanks!! Don't know what I would have done without knowing exactly who finished where.

No problem mate!

I'm still just overwhelmed by the speed of those two. I need to practice my AWD skillz

Agreed! Those 2 guys were fast as heck this week. I saw their times on the leaderboard before the race and was wondering how on earth I was going to keep up.
