Cool, any thoughts on cars/format? or are people ok with what I have suggested? I'll also get Graham J in on it, so we've got three or so already...

[BCA]

Awesome stuff guys. Have been away for the weekend, so not had much time for forza. Will try and get a few things sorted tomorrow - I need to get stickering up too!!

[BCA]

We'll give it a go with the BMW M3's to start with and see how things go, I reckon they'll be hilarious - I drove one just now, after mainly driving a near stock mk2 golf - I found it to be a rocket ship, albeit with a fair bit of wobbliness! (just started on my own xbox, played on my mates before endlessly)

Ok names/ live IDs:

BCA : B3NCA
GrahamJ : (will double check his later tonight)

[BCA]

I am open to suggestions for days/ times?

I was thinking of running it in a similar manner to the speed championship my dad competes in. Say we do 10 races, your best 8 are all that count, that way, anyone who misses the odd race wont be missing out too badly and allows for the odd mistake... I've just driven an E36, I dont remember them being this hairy!!

I am all ears to suggestions, keep them coming.

[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.

[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?

[BCA]

Fair enough...

as for times/days - err, suggest away!

[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!!

[BCA]

I am all ears for suggested times... I am pretty flexible for the moment.

Also, I think a few of those on the list are in the other championship - scrub out a few more who may not be able to compete on whatever set day and you only have enough for one championship!

I am struggling with the BM, but it does look superb when stickered up.

Edited by BCA on Tuesday 30th September 22:55

[BCA]

Was stuck at work.

Right, no one seems to be suggesting anything, so im afraid I am going to have to...

Righty; Sunday's at 9 ok?

Yes? No? Maybe so?

Who is able to make this day (probably next sunday rather than this, best give atleast a weeks notice for the start I guess?)

[BCA]

abs optional, tc and stability? Come on!

[BCA]

Right, so...

First round next sunday (not today) - any track ideas/ suggestions for the mighty e36's?

[BCA]

Sounds good to me.

Right then, everyone - get practicing, get stickering up and we'll see how things play out.

long or short then?

May as well be long, these aren't golfs...

[BCA]

Names/ Live ID's of those CONFIRMED for the first race at Mugello (full);

BMW M3 E36 - stock - no mods, TC/Stability off, abs allowed.
5laps Mugello Full.

Sunday at 8?

BCA: B3NCA

[BCA]

Updated with Ih8thisname's table...

Let me know if you're up for this, first come first served place distribution. If there isnt enough interest from us newbies, we'll get a few of the ex-golf/focus pro's in to show us how its done.

[BCA]

Cheers Muz, will update it like that after the first round. I like the way I am top in all rounds too. In truth, I am more likely to be sliding the seconds away as tail end charlie throughout - but it'll be bloody good fun trying to catch the rest!

Updating the OP now with the extra people who have responded here.

[BCA]

practice times?

Ok... I really ought to get familiarised with the E36.

Updating the original post. Think we may well be full now?

Edit: Tim2100, the racing is set for sunday at 8? so I am guessing you may not be able to join us??
