• Events should be no longer than 50 minutes for both heats.
• I will set the timeout to 2 minutes after the first person has crossed the line.

• Events will be once every 2 weeks and start at 8.30pm UK time.
• This will be open to all Licensed Members.

Info I need from people interested in signing up
Do you want to allow all assists, or just set ones, if so what ones?
Driving/braking line will be turned on as I use it.

How do you want to handle connection issues?
I am thinking allow 10 minutes for connection issues, so that is 1 hour in total, but I would like to hear your ideas. I will open the lobby 10 / 15 minutes before the event starts.

Chris,

See if he'll also let you borrow the connection for Friday 2nd December........... that's when the season gets underway, lol.

Haven't had a chance to try this track yet, been very busy with Uni. Might have a go this weekend.

Note to self, don't break my clutch again. :oops:

 

[Stefan Liversidge]

Its a tricky track and sooo easy to get the back sliding too much and you just loose soo much time. Im managing consistant low 1.10s on a run. Theres a few areas where i know i can go faster than the 1.09.8 but uts very hard to string it all together. Looking forward to the race, hopefully ill keep it together better thsn i did at seabring! Got the tyre pressures sorted since tgen though.

 

[Dan Smith]

Done a few laps tonight, got down to 1:08.981. I've found that braking in straight lines is key for a good time. Some of you may want to stay in 2nd gear until the exit of Turn 3. I've found this to be worth about 0.3 - 0.5 secs. My tyre pressures are F 29.0, R 28.5

 

[Stefan Liversidge]

Tried keeping it in 2nd but end up pinging the limiter before turn 2 and just end up wandering though the courner. If I keep it in 3rd, it's tricky stopping the font end running wide but I seem to get a better sweep through 2 picking up the throttle early and flat through 3. Gues it's just a different style.

 

[Dan Smith]

Yeah deffo. I hit the limiter but I don't seem to lose as much time as I do when I change gear

Oh yer, its Friday int it

 

[Peter Cosgrave]

Just did 10 laps or so, managed a 1.08.7xx. I think its definitely better to keep the car in 2nd a Dan was saying. There's a low 1.08.x or high 1.07.xx there somewhere. Back to the track.

Just sent out a reminder message over Xbox live.

Looking forward to this. My new wheel has arrived in time and I'm aching to use it... Goodbye MS wheel (although I'm still using the MS pedals for now

 

[Krzysztof Lipczynski]

Lucky man!. I still remain on my MS wheel Which model you have now?

Lucky man!. I still remain on my MS wheel Which model you have now?

Well... The UP shifter broke on my wheel last week for the second time and I was devestated so I talked about it with my wife and we decided that my Xmas and birthday presents for this year could be a CSR Wheel! So I promptly placed an order late Thursday night and the beauty arrived on Tuesday. The thing is amazing. The FF on it is a good 3-4x as strong as the MS wheel and I'm still getting used to the 900° of rotation (sometimes I still understear by not turning the stupid thing far enough!) but as I get used to it the resolution of the stearing input is phenomenal. I'm still using my MS Pedals (until tomorrow's big lottery win) but if an upgrade to CSRe's or CSPs brings the same kind of upgrade in accuracy then I'm gonna be selling my arse down in Soho to line up the next purchase. Some high powered cars that were undrivable before are much easier to take now and I've shaved significant time off of some of my least favourite tracks.

 

[Chris Bell]

Looking forward to tonight

 

[Dan Smith]

Not sure if anyone else has noticed, but online play seems to be crashing a lot more after the update today. Not sure if this will affect tonight's race.

 

[Gaz]

Not been online in Forza 4, only to setup the game for tonight. Hopefully it will settle down.

 

[Chris Bell]

How long is the update?? I will need to do that when i get connected before the race

 

[Tom Moreno]

Hmmm... That's a good call. Should probably get the wife to turn the 'box on and get the update out of the way. I don't want to be mucking about with that when about to start the world championship... Game faces people!
