Hey all.
Following my race suggestions, Andy to came to my rescue and set up a race night which is on the other thread.
Still more than happy to run something similar for hot hatches across the group and different tracks?
I’ll be online at 8, so if anyone wants to join, they’re completely welcome.

What was supposed to happen last night?
I was expecting an invite, but instead went for a demolition derby in a Shelby.
I invited everyone on the list who I’ve added, so you should have got an invite. Apologies if I missed you off the list. I was expecting an invite, but instead went for a demolition derby in a Shelby.
We had a bit of a mess about and came up with some ideas as to how to run a hot hatch championship, so I’ll be setting up a new thread to clean this one up.
We then ended up ttting about in minis being chased down by an AMR Pro Valkyrie which was a good bit of fun.
Apologies again.

I've seen my son do it, but he was on WhatsApp to the guy as well, so it was easy.
What should I be looking out for? And where?
My son's invite came through the Xbox app, not Forza, IIRC.

It should have popped up on your home screen, assuming you’re online, saying I’ve invited you. I've seen my son do it, but he was on WhatsApp to the guy as well, so it was easy.

I’ll make sure I’ve got the correct GT for you added and will drop you a message beforehand

Does this mean that I should pop onto the Forza home screen every so often, or do I need to be there when you send the invitation?I’ll make sure I’ve got the correct GT for you added and will drop you a message beforehand
I thought I found a YT tutorial, but it is for Horizon.

On PC, when I was playing online with the PHers, I was getting invites and it was popping up an Xbox Live notification in the middle of the screen. It was prompting me to either press the Xbox button on my controller, or the Windows key + L to open the invite, which I could then accept and join the lobby; this was applicable when both in the game menus, or when driving in-game. If you struggle perhaps ask your lad to give you a brief tutorial - I was wondering how truncated/difficult it was going to be but touch wood it's relatively painless.I thought I found a YT tutorial, but it is for Horizon.

Both Kitch and I tried inviting you while we were in the lobby. I’ve got your GT as: Ollie ya mum
It said you were hot lapping in rivals if I remember correctly.
Might be worth making sure you haven’t got notifications muted.
Now you mention muting notifications - that will be the answer. A few weeks ago, my son's friends thought he was on line and were constantly pinging him, so I turned off the message box.It said you were hot lapping in rivals if I remember correctly.

Just to keep things tidy.

Not sure how many of you guys build and tune your own cars but I thought I'd list below the the base settings I start from for a race transmission.....
FINAL DRIVE.... 4.36
1st..... 3.08
2nd....2.03
3rd.... 1.60
4th.... 1.31
5th.... 1.07
6th.... 0.90
Been using these since FM4 and always found them to be a good starting set-up to work from. Most cars simply need adjust of the final drive and maybe making 1st gear shorter to aid launch.

I'm having a good play with an XR2.
The 243PI car was 3.34 around Spa. So far I've managed to get that down to 3.19 (293PI). I'm hoping to add everything to the car to see how fast I can make it.
I'm interested to see what the max PI will be. I then plan to find a FWD hot hatch with the same PI and see how that fares in comparison.
