PH Forza 5 BTCC championship

[P I Staker]

I have a Twitch account I only ever watch I've never broadcast before. I'll have a look and see what's involved with the app.

^^ good point mate though I've had my controller update!

Also, I'm 44yrs old, I've brought up a 16yr old and Forza is only a game........ So why the hell do I always get pre-race nerves before something like this?? Being the organiser probably never helps I guess! Lol

A couple of beers should help

[Cunny DK]

Im set up on twitch to Broadcast if you want me too

[LiamB]

I'll be a bit late, I'm rushing back now!

[GreatCornholio]

Alan!

Cheers for the racing, and fk BT for making me disconnect in the first race. I forgot to save the replay too, is there any way to gift them or share them somehow?

[ajprice]

Cheers for sorting this out GreatEvilCornelioHomer. It was fun at the back too, I might have done better in the second race if I remembered that the corner at the end of the straight was sharp

£160!!! How the hell does that work? They are your internet provider yet its only provided intermittently and they expect you to pay for them to rectify it!

I hope you're gonna stay involved mate??

Mine was exactly the same in the first race. Just dropped me out the session with no warning and my internet didn't even disconnect. I got BT fibre optic (Free upgrade ) and it has been nothing but trouble for the Xbox's connection since I got it.

[totlxtc]

Oh I want to be involved mate...its if BT will let me.

F'ing joke. Had it all planned out. Exton was on my bootlid for 1st few laps and was catching me in the twisties but I had the oomph on the straights. He pitted early so I was going to go hell for leather and keep the car in the late 17's early 18's. Plan was to hope he would find some traffic on the way and I would pit lap 14 for first and then lap 16 which should mean I would come out into clean air...oh well.

Well last night was a bust! Didn't even turn a wheel. I was back in the lobby by the time you guys started lap 2, waited to see if you would drop back before retiring for the night. Doubt the megane is competitive though.

I can only apologise for not taking dropouts into account for last night. It was the first night and there were bound to be problems, I just didn't anticipate that one. I didn't realise that unlike in Forza 4 you can't hear anyone on mic in the lobby and when I got your msg the race had started and if I'd pulled over to open it and found that you weren't able to get back in I'd have finished plum last!

Liam came back for race 2, we were hoping you were coming back too.

There's gotta be a way to deal with this and I'm open to ideas! I hope you'll carry on racing after this.

[Jonny1984]

Hi All,

Is there still room to get involved in this? I have played a lot of Forza 4 and Just got 5 a couple of weeks ago. I haven't done a singe race online, ever. I get a bit bored of single player and find it a bit daunting to try a random place.

I can't tune, paint or drive. I'll make a good back marker though

[Exton]

Great racing last night fellas... Gutted about the people we lost was having a great battle with totlxtc after he jumped me on the start shame about the connection..... I had weak connection in the 2nd race luckily I didn't get kicked.... I've shared the replay as pistonheads btcc series.... Well played vole with 2 brilliant 2nd places especially on reverse grid starting at the back

[P I Staker]

Was good racing last night cheers all, shame about the drop outs.

Apologies for my premature pit in Race 1, I looked down and saw the counter on lap 2 somehow forgetting we had done a formation lap.

I'm hardly fighting for the lead anyway.

Also whilst I was too tired last night to bother correcting anyone my XBL name is Mad-Wi-It, as in 'Mad with it'. Definition here: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mad...
