Andy, can we have a Veteran's class next time around?

As of Thursday I will no longer be a smelly student and as of the 2nd of June will be a fully functioning, tax paying, contributing member of society. I may reward myself with a One and join you lot.

I see Liam is still being a little bh too

It'd be good to have you back mate, though I did totally bin you off my friends list

Please kindly explain "veterans", I'm old but not that old! Lol

Thats got me thinking...I have to be one of the "Old men" here!

At 44 I'm pretty sure I'm the elder (in a) statesman in this group

Congratulations to Dan for winning this first series, very well deserved mate

thanks to everyone for turning up and putting up with my nagging about keeping it clean etc and taking so long to sort the bloody qualifying results each week. Oh, and my frequent lateness posting the results. Its been superb fun!

[GreatCornholio]

I'll post tomorrow night regarding the VTEC NO thing on Monday. Planning to throw another couple of cars in to widen the selection.

Personally i'd like to run it as a series before we move on to something else but i'll go with the majority!

how about a 60's champ? B class again, could run anything from mini's to massive yank tanks!

Did mention to Andy about a Trans Am series. That would include most muscle cars and the Alfa GTA, Skyline 71 and couple of others.

Quite like this idea. What class would work best though?

We'll need a couple of weeks to sort the regs cars etc

The trans am series sounds the most appealing to me. It's something we haven't done before and there's a nice mix of cars.
Mixing the muscle cars with things like minis should make for varied racing and allow people to be creative with tuning depending on the regs. Keep it c class though.

Was chatting to Andy last night and apparently the minis will wipe the floor with everything. How to get round that I've no idea!? Perhaps a performance handicap? 350 instead of 400?

The Mini needs its own series and a set build which will definitely happen as I really want to enjoy the mini but can't due to it being a leaderboard car extraordinaire.


Like the sound of a series with muscle cars in C class and happy to work with others to come up with an idea.

BTCC VTEC NO NIGHT

Monday 26th lobby open 9pm

Rules are the same as the BTCC with the exception that all VTEC Hondas Acuras and Kia are banned.

I will allow the Kia with a bored out motor and I'll also throw in the Peugeot 308 to play with.

Names below please

The Kia can only be bored out to 1.9 but I'm giving it a whirl. My PI is down to 589 and can't get it higher without breaking the weight or power rule.
Just done a few laps of Road America and it's sooo much nicer to drive although slower on the straights. Managed to knock a few tenths if my normal Kia time and into low 2:23s instead of mid to high 2:23s

Needs to be 2.0 ltr mate

I'll make an exception for that and the Pug 308. Its only a one off race night after all!

What track are we doing on Monday?

Whoops, knew I'd forgotten something!

Silverstone GP for the long race and the national circuitfor the sprint race!

[GreatCornholio]

ajprice said:

Just checking something, is the max power actually 350 in the lobby, or is it 349 like the weight has to be 2601 to get in?

Yes mate

[GreatCornholio]

ajprice said:

GreatCornholio said:

Yes mate

Yes it's 350.

349, 349 I repeat 349!!

Curry Burns said:

Well people Burns is offically back in the game

Add me ..... GT: Mr Curry Burns

Oh god no.... lol

If this is a direct result of this series......I have a lot to answer for!

[GreatCornholio]

Boring work night so looked back through the thread, genuinely the most enjoyable racing I've had in Forza 5.........

Anyone interested in doing something similar in the new year but without the VTEC cars?

[GreatCornholio]

LiamB said:

Both your BTCC championships have been bloody excellent. Another one of your championships of any kind (Cycled production ) would definitely get me back on Forza 5!

Hi mate, only been on FM5 once in the last 7 weeks and that was just to see how my tunes were going. Really wanna play again but its gotta be something worthwhile and I've had to wait til the new year as I'll have moved in and got all my shizzle sorted!

[GreatCornholio]

Thanks for the interest guys, something of the championship variety will deffo happenin the new year. I'll build some cars and come up with something over the next week or so......that's assuming I can play FM5 offline!

[GreatCornholio]

AndyD360 said:

Best I buy it for a bit of pre championship practice then

It'd be good to race with you again mate though I'm not sure we'll ever get the same buzz as the EPIC Le Mans 35 lap drag tyre full damage GT race you won on FM4!!!

Announcement by Wednesday chaps

[GreatCornholio]

With the imminent (hopefully) release of PCars there isn't enough time to set up and run a championship so i intend to run a 3 tracks, 3 nights one car set build event of some sort.

I've been working on a Kia Cee'd tuned to B522 with wings and slicks that works beautifully on most circuits.

I'll start a new thread later today or tomorrow morning
