PH Forza 5 BTCC championship

[GreatCornholio]

Hope you can get your "issues" resolved John

Just want to say thanks to everyone last night, hugely enjoyable. The sprint race was just epic with me, Paul. Matty, Liam and Exton all scrapping over positions 3-7. Multiple out braking, overtakesand the occasional cock up meant the outcome was totally uncertain til the last lap!!



I've saved the replays and I'll share them tonight!

There's a distinct lack of pics in this thread.

There's a distinct lack of an Xbox one and Forza 5 in your house Mr Fatty!

Oh and great pic Dan

Hi guys, apologies for the lateness but the standings will be up shortly.


After the Catalunya races Matty messaged me and confessed that due to an oversight on his part he'd run an illegal car for qualifying and both races. He'd run with 255's front and rear instead of 245's. The difference is enough to account for at least a couple of tenths per lap.

If these races were being run via TORA he'd have been disqualified. I'm adding 10secs onto the first race time and 5secs onto race 2.

Looks like its Dan for the championship unless he's abducted by aliens (Exton is probably dialling 118 for ET's number right now).

See you all tomorrow night

Stick to the track, the cars should be capable of taking eau rouge flat anyway so why cut it?

Agreed they can easily get through there...but what I am thinking about is if someone is racing side by side and the other takes the cut then there may well be issues. If everyone is using the same line then there are no issues.

Had it been sticky/greasy on that part then I can understand, but Forza almost promotes that corner as an easy route.

I can't take Eau Rouge flat in 6th so I'll be lifting I'm afraid. I'll warn whoever is around me at the time.

Do you know what the number of laps and pitstops are Andy ?

I should hope so! Lol

Spa is 15 laps 3 pits followed by 9 laps of Bathurst!

[GreatCornholio]

totlxtc said:

Warning. Practice the pits as it's a tricky one off of the bus stop then sharp left.

Cheers for the heads up Dan

[GreatCornholio]

Fookin crappy arse new fangled tech bks!

Just done a hard reset, now setting lobby up AGAIN

John_S4x4 said:

Bathurst was a really good race for me. Started 3rd and then on the very first corner was suddenly right at the back with Idle Willo. I immediately thought it was a racing incident and the replay confirmed this. Why did you pull out of the lead Homer (nice overtake on the brakes on Felby BTW) ?

Edited by John_S4x4 on Tuesday 13th May 08:41

I honestly felt I'd made a clumsy move which I profited from but which resulted in both you and idlewillo being at the back so that's why I pulled over. I've made enough noise about clean racing so I wasn't gonna break my own rules!

What I should have done was pull over immediately as after being 12th twice I raced my fat ass off to finish 5th with only 7 laps left. The car was superb and I think it'll go well at Rd America next week too!

Oh and by the way Homer how is that table going. Hope you had fun doing it on that nice day off you had lol

Edited by totlxtc on Thursday 15th May 18:33

Erm, it was my last day off and I went for a cheeky lunchtime pint. I eventually staggered home then played Battlefield......... badly!

Tables are all done so I'll post them tomorrow

I think I'm going to join the 07 Civic club. I've got a paInt that is kinda sorta this WTCC paint. Done this as I think the main BTCC paints have been done on the Civic, and there are the Martini cars and the Marlboro car in this so hey go for it

That's pretty bloody smart!

Monday's race is the last in this series btw

I'll join this next season now my ps3 has broke.
However what are your views on very defensive, almost blocking tactics?

Depends if anyone complains and what mood I'm in when I check the replay.......ask Mattyvole

As I'm st, I might well need a setup! I modded and bought a paint for an S4 within the champ rules then read about the fwd and 2L rules damnit. Have an Acura rsx but I always fancy left field choices!

Not sure if Dan(totlxtc) has shared his RSX tune. If you want a left field car I've tuned a Scirocco R for this event.

Hmmm I wonder if this thread will be enough impetus for me to get a One.....

If that isn't enough maybe the impending price reduction to £350 will appeal to your Scottish sense of frugality and nudge you in the right direction
