FPM: Championship Season 3 planning

[ImaRobot]

@LoadedLove, I can send you some vents that way you can still share the car so it looks how you want it too.

Well to be honest I already made a clone of my car and threw it in the club garage, but do you think you can still send those over so I can see which ones look best on my car? I'll gladly pay for them to

 

[Carlos]

No need for anything in return except using the livery. Do you want a certain sponsor or anything in particular? Any certain colors? I will work on things and send it to you in a bit to see what you think.

Thanks

I have no idea what kind of sponsor.. I like liveries like Martini, Rothmans and Lotus F1. They are simple but the stripes make it look so nice. Is that something you can work with? You can choose colors and sponsor

Edit:
Just got on Forza, looks very nice Jimbo! Keep it like that. Colors are nice! I also like the R2 sticker Good sponsor too!

My race number is 36. Maybe nice for the faster guys, if the top 3 of season 2 can use #1, 2 and 3?

Only the front is a bit white, could you make something around the headlights in the same colors?

Chris thanks for the placard...I guees this is what we are using???....Well since Im a diehard Ford guy Im at a crossroads with the car I want....They are both Escorts but Im afraid when we get in the "long" tracks I will get my ass handed to me........But I guees its about fun huh.....Anyway Jimbo when are you going to be on today??....I should be on around 5pm Central.......

 

[zr1chris]

Oh yeah. I forgot I sent those out. Yeah it was just something I whipped up quick. Someone had made it already and I just modified it a little. We can use them unless you guys want to use something else.

Anyway... Did some more testing and we can set it up so the timer doesnt start until the first B Class car is done. Also we can have B Class start the race say 10 seconds before R2 if we wanted to... What do you guys think?

 

[Wiggs]

Hey guys, Carlos asked the question yesterday...what do the R2 cars do when the AI takes control when their race is done? Will they get in the way of the B class cars? Probably not much of a problem, I'm just curious.

 

[MuchoJimbo]

The 10-15 second delay for R2 is cool with me, I actually prefer it. As for the R2 car AI, they will most likely continue but they do not go as quick and if it does raise issues we can always turn off contact, assuming it works with AI.

As I have done some testing myself with AI, I must say that this multi-class idea seems to be pretty sweet. It will surely test our skill levels, the R2 drivers flying through the B class and the B class getting frantic as the R2 class approaches quickly...........should be quite the season, can't wait!

Chris, put me down for the #5 Opel Astra V8.

I'm Ready!

 

[Wiggs]

Are we starting next weekend? Saturdays or Sundays...and what time?

 

[MuchoJimbo]

I am hoping we can agree on Saturdays @ 3:30pm eastern or Sunday in the AM, between 9-11 eastern. Sunday would be less stressful for me as I will already be home and not possibly miss a race due to overtime.

Saturdays are fine for me at that time but I think Hamster won't be available then. I'm good with Sundays too if we can start before 10am or after 1:30pm.

 

[katpeeler]

Im ok for either Sat or Sun....Closest to lunch time the better....BTW when is the deadline for puting in your car choice...Im waiting out Wiggs and Hamster to see what they pic.....

I'm leaning towards the Ferrari 250 Cali or the Mugen Civic. I'll let you guys know my pick tomorrow after I do some testing.

 

[ImaRobot]

My car is pretty much done as well. Cant think of what else to do to it without making it more noticeable then it already is lol

 

[katpeeler]

I want to race the little Escort but that thing is so light if I get breathed on I get knocked of the track

 

[ImaRobot]

Just do it. My cars a boat, I think I'm biting off more than I can chew lol. I just hope the weight isnt as major as a factor as I think it might be.

 

[katpeeler]

AND Im thinking the tracks are going to have the R2 Class in mind and have a lot of sweepers and straight aways....These things are not my Escorts favorite

 

[zr1chris]

BTW when is the deadline for puting in your car choice...Im waiting out Wiggs and Hamster to see what they pic.....

Lets try and get everything done by the end of this week so we can start qualifying sometime this up coming weekend...

Hey guys, Carlos asked the question yesterday...what do the R2 cars do when the AI takes control when their race is done? Will they get in the way of the B class cars? Probably not much of a problem, I'm just curious.

I'm pretty sure the AI for R2 will still be much faster than B class.

I am hoping we can agree on Saturdays @ 3:30pm eastern or Sunday in the AM, between 9-11 eastern. Sunday would be less stressful for me as I will already be home and not possibly miss a race due to overtime.

Either of those is good with me. 👍

All righty then! I'll be going old school and racing a 1965 Mustang 👍

I figured a big lump of American steel can take a bit more ramming from out of control R2 cars than a featherweight MK1 Golf or some of the smaller Japanese cars I tested... Nah just kidding...

Made a quick replica of a former Australian Touring Car Champion Ian "Pete" Geoghegan's racing car. (Which was the first racing Mustang I saw in Google )

 

[hennessey86]

So is it this coming weekend we are starting season 3?

Yeah, what are the details, I would like to participate more this season.

If we can choose, I would like to be in B class, not sure what car just yet.

I know I will have to download a certain decal for our number right? I believe I am still 50.

When Jimbo is done hoping, we will know And I think Jimbo can send you the new numbersticker because I saw it on my car he made for me

That is a sweet Supra! My friend has one in real life. It has been dynoed 565bhb, goes like crazy! Most powerful car I've driven in real life. Wouldn't mind owning one myself, even though I'm more into German stuff myself...

Awesome.

Well, I would like to cast my vote for Sunday as well as I know I am usually there in the morning.

I am absolutely terrible at liverys to be perfectly honest with you, so you can imagine my excitment when I finished this. I was actually really pleased to be honest. I loved how you can paint the intercooler how ever you want on the Trial front bumper for the supra.

Thats where I got the idea from. I tried replicating but I'm pretty retarded when it comes to the livery editor. So I just made a simple version with that livery in mind.

The fastest car I have been in was my friends 400+BHP 350z. I though that thing was fast so I can imagine what you felt like when you where in it lol.

 

[zr1chris]

So is it this coming weekend we are starting season 3?

Yes I'd like to start qualifying this coming weekend if we can get all the details ironed out this week.

So it seems like Sunday morning is sounding good to everyone... 9, 10, or 11 I guess now is the question?


I'd also like to get everyones car choices in by Friday afternoon-night...

On the event of a last minute entry (or entry after season starts) as long as you pick your car before the first race you run I don't foresee a problem with that either.

Thanks Jimbo

Chris, Im guessing those times you posted are Eastern times right? If so Could 12 EST possibly be a time? Just wondering because even the latest time up there, 11 am, is 8 am over here which is usually the time I'm barely getting out of bed.

 

[zr1chris]

Nice. You can always count on Jimbo for a grade A race livery.

Yes it's eastern. I was just going by the hours Jimbo is available from his post below.

I am hoping we can agree on Saturdays @ 3:30pm eastern or Sunday in the AM, between 9-11 eastern. Sunday would be less stressful for me as I will already be home and not possibly miss a race due to overtime.

Is 12 est ok for you Jimbo? nevermind, no good for wiggs

 

[Wiggs]

If we're racing on Sundays I'd need it to be before 10am or after 1:30pm to take part. Actually 1:30pm or a little later would be better for me on Sundays.

Hmm. This is going to start getting tricky.

Afternoon on Sunday is no good for me during football season

10am is only 7 on the west coast.

💡 Maybe we need to revisit the Saturday idea... What was the earliest Jimbo can make it? 2:30pm est ?
