Will post a couple of pics later - great racing tonight. Couldn't see for laughing a couple of times which made life a bit harder...

Good bit of banter and racing last night. A well run race also. Despite all your warnings of taking it easy on the first lap I did not listen and came barrelling into the first corner to quick and while trying to avoid an accident caused another one which put someone out and put me in the pit exit (sorry), then got going again and arrived at turn 3 at a good rate of knots only to find a bottle neck of careful drivers not trying to hit each other so I had to take to the grass on the left to avoid rear ending at least 3 cars which put me dead last.
I think the reverse grid idea is a good one , But I would humbly suggest a slight change as the difference in speed between the back and the front of the grid although small enough can only cause bunching on the first few corners. So maybe something like a split reverse grid ie. whoever qualifies in 8th starts on pole and whoever qualifies in 9th starts at the back. But then again I could just listen to the warnings stop driving like a knob and slow the f*** down on the first few corners.
Will be at the next one if you have me either way, to much fun not to.

Some pics from Saturday's racing...

lined up ready to go.



Virtually the last time any of us saw Silver's car again.



Close racing behind what was left of John's tyres



More two wheel stuff



Me chasing down Homer before the kerb on the 2nd to last corner nearly took us both out

Some nice pics there guys!

This weekend's race will be at Spa. Same cars, same rules but 17 laps this time.

Dan, even though it means I'll be yet another place further back you're more than welcome to join us mate.

Oh, and I just thought I'd mention that the following Saturday we will be racing at the Nordschliefe in a full 1hr spectacular!!

Can I suggest something? Since the qualifying in Forza 5 is a little broken, wouldn't it be less fuss (especially for Cornholio) if the starting lineup is the reverse finishing order of the last race? Not that I have a problem with qualifying or anything.

I'm happy with this suggestion of skipping qualification and just doing a reverse grid.

Rob, there is actually an issue which occurs in Forza 5 which means that on your screen you can see Chris and it says 15 players on your screen BUT on his screen he cannot see you and it says 14 players.

I've had this myself in public lobbies and I've known lots of other people to suffer the same issue mate.
