Now that Idlewillo's brilliant Aussie V8 championship is drawing to a close, time to look at a replacement series, to carry on the fun.


I made a suggestion of some classic British Saloon Car Championship style racing from the 60's & 70's that seemed well received, so perhaps we could try this.Ive started this thread to gauge reactions & interest,put up my initial ideas and canvas any other suggestions. And then to set the details & do the damn thing!

So,as I posted in the other thread,using details from these wiki pages,'61 onwards
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1961_British_Saloon_...
and also from John S4x4's excellent link
http://touringcarracing.net/Pages/cars.html

So the suggested car list looks like this,BSCC plus a few from Europe

Real car 61-75	Forza car	class	PI
Mini 61-	Mini	E	233
Cortina 63-	Lotus Cortina	E	256
Mustang 65-	Mustang 65	D	325
Escort Mk 1	F&F Escort	C	485
Fiat 600 69-	Old 500	E	108
BMW 2002 69-	73 BMW 2002 Turbo	E	300
Camaro Z28 69-	70 Camaro Z28	D	344
Mustang Boss 302 70-	Mustang 302 Boss	D	333
Capri 72-	Capri	E	285
Mazda RX3 73-	Mazda RX3	E	239
Toyota Celica GT 72-	74 Celica	E	235
911 69-	DLC 1982 911	C	449
Lancia Fulvia	Lancia Fulvia Coupé Rallye 1.6 HF	E	300
Alfa 1600 GTA 65-	Giulia Sprint GTA Stradale	E	272
Volvo Amazon	Volvo Amazon	E

|| || || || ||


Any more car suggestions? Such a shame we dont have a Ford Galaxie,Hillman Imp,Merc 300, or the Mk II Jag!

Tuning allowed,your own or community,up to a max of C class.(Cars in game from Group 5 like the Zakspeed Capri are just too powerful as S class compared to the others.)

Custom paint with your race number, all aids will be allowed if needed, damage and collision will be on.

Track suggestions:
Brands full,Brands Indy,Silverstone full,Silverstone club,Spa,Le Mans Bugatti,Nurburgring GP,Hockenheim short,Monza full Alt,finale at Le Mans Old Mulsanne Circuit

I personally may have a problem actually doing the hosting as I have a terribly slow internet (also a wife who doesnt like to give up the telly for a "kid's game"!)so I dont know if anyone can do that

Tuesday still best?

So what do we think?

Sign up here & any comments/suggestions/insults welcome

With regards to tuning, are there any banned mods?

Interested in this and have a few cars in this class already I could use.
I'll upload any tunes I do to the storefront just search PH for them.

I'm in ?
What's not allowed ? eg engine swaps etc
What must you have ? eg STD tyres or sports or slicks ? Do you want the cars to slip and slide or grip ?

Can you include the Toyota Corrolla. Ta
What about the Chevy Camaro's ?

Do we have an official testing track ? I'll post my times then.

The thought occurred to me that perhaps we could race the cars on a rota system ? Eg everybody jumps into a different car for each roumd ?
That way we can get the fast guys in a slow car and the slow guys in the fast cars at some point.

Edited by John_S4x4 on Saturday 21st May 18:46

[kowalski655]

Did the 69 Camaro and the Corolla race. I may well have missed them on the wiki pages

AFAIAC you should be able to have any parts tune you want,perhaps with the exception of drivetrains swaps. Up to max PI of C class.

My go to test track is Brands Indy.

May be a good idea to rotate cars,but what counts as a fast car? eg I'm faster in a grip tune than a speed tune of the same car usually,regardless of track.
Maybe a PI handicap for the top 3 finishers from previous round,not sure how much it should be though, I suspect making them race D class may be a bit much . but then again...

[John_S4x4]

Looks like this will be a nice race series

Have an epic Mustang vs Mini video

[AndyD360]

Sounds good - will likely be in something American.

If people are using community tunes you can't drop PI as the tune is locked - is there any way to hold particular cars on the grid for a set time so the top 3 start the following race 5/10/20 seconds behind the pack?

I know its there in the "new car vs older versions" races in the game but doubt its an option for lobbies. Would probably have to be an honour system

[FIREBIRDC9]

I'd be more than Happy to give it a go.

I think i already have a Celica Tuned to C Class , i would have to check.

Put me down for either a Lotus Cortina or a Celica (Undecided yet)

Gamertag - FIREBIRDC9 My race number can be 9

[Nom de ploom]

were there any MGs or rovers in that class at the time ?

i was thinking metro 6R4 but that was a rally car predominantly wasn't it?

[kowalski655]

I think that was a later rally car,& its A class anyway IIRC
No MGB in the game anymore,there was in FM4

Added the Amazon as it raced down under in NZ

Hi guys,

I'd like to get in on this too. Will do an introduction shortly, Bailey93 recommend here.
Gamertag: DauntingBeef08
Race Number 116


I have been Involved in a few forza comps.

I've been doing some quick testing. 3 laps or so each

Built some cars to C class with sport tyres.
CAR - Time - Speed Trap - Notes
63' Cortina - 1:15.264 -118mph (Added more power to weight)
72' Celica - 1:15.807 - 116mph (feels very fast)
65' Mustang - 1:15.825 - 118mph (Good lap)
73' Bmw turbo - 1:16.735
65' Mini - 1:16.552- 117mph (Im not very good in FWD)
70' Escort - 1:15.974 - 128mph (Not much room for grip in PI)
72' Capri - 1:16.457 - 120Mph
68' Lancia - 1:16.034 - 116mph (fast fwd)


All tuned to C class max.
Sport tyres and widest possible, handling parts then add power.

I'll be doing some testing tonight with Milton, so we will collate more results later

We've both raced competitively online for many years having raced on FMUK, FM.net, TORA, XPLR and many other forums as well as also hosting my own successful racing series' with 40+ people across multiple lobbies

So happy to provide advice and guidance where needed

I would love to get in on this. The celica looks like the one I'll be going for. Oh if I can, could I take number 12? Gamertag is: shnev0o0

Thanks.

Updated my post with a bit more information.

What may be an idea is limit the amount cars to be picked . Ie only 2 drivers can pick the cortina , 2 in the mustang etc.

That way good variety in track

OR

each driver has to use a different car for each event and then they can choose one for the final.

[kowalski655]

We could consider limits,depends on what people may want to race

So far we have,confirmed or interested:

On the question of hosting,I think getting dropped from last nights lobby,and the fact that it has taken me half an hour to load this pot,means my stty rural scottish internet is just not up for the job....so,any volunteers?Am happy to do all the admin,but I dont want to have a race ruined by being dropped half way through thanks to BTs 2-cans-and-a-piece-of-string internet
