Forza 2 - the alternative championship...

[SirTainly]

I never get home from work much before 8 these days, so an 8/8:30 start would be good for me. I suspect you guys might want to start earlier though.

[ih8thisname]

If you need any help getting an OP set up just give me a shout!

[BCA]

I am not entirely sure what an OP is? But thanks for any offers of support, will no doubt be needing it shortly!

Blimey, this is the first time I've used vinyl thingys too, just made a novice sticker - took farrrrrr too long for something so simple.

[ih8thisname]

OP = Original Post ie; first one in the thread.

I find it helps keep things nice and tidy and I usually update it after each night with the results to make it easy to understand at a glance. It also saves folk that are new to the championship raking through all the pages trying to work out the rules!

Some might call it OCD.. but hey ho!

Have a look at the one on the PHGTC thread and it might make a bit more sense!

[BCA]

Ah, that makes sense, yes that would be great thankyou.

[BCA]

Anyone got any thoughts on the M3? I love it, but its rather wobbly at times... would anyone object to allowing suspension mods to be free? That way, it'll test our set up abilities as well as our racing, and hopefully allow for more stable racers. Again, any thoughts on this are most welcome. I think the car is great (and mines starting to look ok-ish) but allowing suspension (springs dampers only - not ARB's etc) would make things far more interesting?

I am happy with whatever the general feeling is, so I am just putting forward a suggestion... thoughts?

[SirTainly]

Had a quick play with it last night and it seemed ok tbh, but I wasn't really pushing too hard. How about starting with the car as standard, try a race or two and then make a decision on the upgrades ?

I always think you should have a standard car, it's tricky to tell which mods people have and haven't done.

[mikey-r]

I'd like to join in, if there's room. I'm not that good but I play fair and really enjoyed the PGR4 time trials we did earlier this year.

What night/time are you looking at?

Cheers

Fair enough...

as for times/days - err, suggest away!

[Digby]

Smoothness is the key with the BMW I found, yank the stick or wheel around and you can get into all sorts of trouble.Had a quick play around with it (no assists) and it can be tricky to master.I don't mind it minus any mods though, we had a go on a few tracks but it is perfect on Maple Valley long as it really suits the car.

i'm in

I'd say to the original championship guys that we should leave this one alone for now. The whole idea of it was to give the people that didn't manage to get in on the other one a championship of their own!

Filling up the missing slots is another thing, and I'm sure both leagues would be happy to cross post availible space on other threads.

Like this week for example, stumpyalans slot is available as he isn't taking part on wednesday if anyone is interested!

ignore me i'm just tetchy that xbox live is down all day for updates

[BCA]

I'd quite like to have one of the other champ enterants involved just to help steer this one in the right direction. Cross over is most welcome, whatever it takes to get the numbers and some great racing... at present it looks like we've got five or so who are pretty keen, so a few spaces for those who need even more of a forza fix. As for the Foci champ, I'll see when im working - I need live back though so I can update my membership!!

[Matt_N]

What night are we going for then chaps?

Stickered up my ornage M3 last night with some Jagermeister decals, not very good but it'll do!

So, stock BMW E36 M3, night/time to be confirmed? This should be fun, have always steered clear of the beema as it looks like it handles badly.Will buy one tonight and get some practice

Cheers

So the list of interested parties is:

BCA - B3NCA
Digby - WestfieldKid
GrahamJ - ?
The Jackal - TheJackal GN
SirTainly - Sizel (Me)
LukeBird - LukeBird
Lozza s - Lozstack123
theboyfold - Penfold77
chriswright
stumpyalan
Matt N - m477man
Mikey-r - Mikey WHU
y2blade
delS1 - stirling lost

Which is 14 people, and too many for one championship, so how's about splitting into two groups ?
I'm prepared to sort out a second group if needed.
