Does anyone know if there is a difference in the type of racing people prefer in LLJK, SAEG, and GISH? I've noticed in LLJK it's mostly screwing around or doing gimmick races instead of class races. Are the other groups the same/different?

SAEG is for the UK/European/GMT friendly areas. Skill level doesn't really matter but we do tend to actually race rather than just crash into each other in H1s. That and play footy, can't have a session of racing without at least one game of footy.

:siren: Make sure you enter the codes you got with your game otherwise you're gonna be a sad panda when we decide to play football or do NASCAR on the speedway :siren:

Football is too much fun. We had a game in GMC Syclones, American Muscle Cars and a third game in City Cars.

NERF THIS!


Created my first vinyl, a 1982 Nevada cobalt blue license plate. I think the rounded corners might be a smidge off, but it looks good! Can't find myself if I search for "Nevada", but I assume that's because the game excludes results that include your own items.

Falken if you read this you need to make it so that people can request an invite of their own accord rather than having to be invited, that way I can just scroll through the requests whilst reading the forum. Everytime I go online I have friend requests from people wanting to join and I have 90+ friends now.

SAEG people, I'll be on at about 9:30 - 10PM GMT tonight if y'all fancy a few races (or are waiting for an invite and have had no luck with Falken). Probably be racing into the wee hours of the morning if enough of you show up.

The sneaky Postal Service didn't have the guts to just cram my Forza 4 Collectors Edition into my mailbox (which it surely wouldn't fit no matter how much they would have crammed) so I didn't get to fetch it until today.

I have to play by gamecontroller for a few days, CSR and stuff isn't due until tuesday.
Anyone got a good controller setup to share? Been hitting google, but it doesn't come up with much.

Anything that makes the controller less twitchy (if possible).

I said come in!

Hi, my name is Dominic Toretto.

The PI system is incredible in this game. This car was pulling laptimes that my 355 Challenge was capable of.

Yes, it's very tail happy, but it keeps surging forward even if it is pointed 45 degrees away from the corner exit.

Out of curiosity, are you guys racing the R cars without assists as well? I'm getting to the A races and I have to say, it's starting to get tempting to turn on ABS at least.

You're not the only one, I've noticed this as well. It's very noticeable on certain cars when the music is turned off. I've done a few min of Internet sleuthing and it is a known problem that many others are experiencing as well. All we can really hope for is it be patched I guess. I'm using optical audio as well, it is definitely not my stereo setup
Thanks, glad to know it's not just me. Here's hoping for a fix. The music seems to cover it up pretty well but I'd rather just hear the engine given how incredible they all sound.

Yes, I wish I could see the base PI or just receive them stock. Whenever I want to find a car to drive that I've tuned myself I have to dig through handfuls of other ones that have been given to me because they're all the same PI. An A600 in my garage no longer means that work has been put in to it because there aren't any A class cars I own that aren't A600. I don't see a way to favorite or add a star to any car either so unless I've overlooked that it's making it a drag to sort my garage and I imagine it will become a total nightmare later on. I'm aware that you can reset to default but that's my main gripe; I'd rather receive them stock in the first place.

I usually end up redoing the upgrades anyway because the auto-tuner does it completely rear end-backwards from the way I do. More often than not its method is to widen the tires to maximum, upgrade the clutch, then pick as many power upgrades as it can until it hits the limit and leave everything else untouched. This almost always makes the car handle worse than it did at stock because the brakes and suspension aren't up to handling the extra power.

If you want it done right, you gotta do it yourself.

Probably being saved for DLC. We're also at a point where most newer models are just slight refreshes from what we already have, from what I've been reading a lot of car companies aren't planning to revamp most of their cars seriously or introduce new things until 2013-2014.

I installed both of the discs on my hdd; however, it is still reading from the disc. Is this normal? I'm just used to my 360 being quiet when I play games.

Apologies about kicking you out of the session, didn't realise that clicking start game after you picked a car (but weren't ready) would boot you out of the session.

I would also love to do more insane El Camino races, as that... thing is ridiculous to drive.

How does it work with event list vs. world tour? Just did a Alfa Mito spec race on Laguna Seca through the tour, when I go to the Alfa Mito races in the event list there is only one race available and that's Mugello. Will Laguna Seca reappear there when I complete this season, or is it not there at all and only accessible once? Seems weird.

Are you sure it was a MiTo spec race you did and not the NA D-class touring race? Usually the car list matches the region where the race is hosted in, and I've never had an event come up that wasn't on the Event List.

I think sometimes it picks an event, but for a different track and puts it at the track you're at. In that case, it doesn't count as completing the event.

Back out of world tour, and go to the event list. Find the box that the event was in, and go repeat it.

Enjoy the hunt!

As far as I can tell there's no way to add a plate :(

I guess I can put it up, but it's really only a few white rectangles, I wouldn't be suprised if somebody has already put up a proper dirty version.

I need to start doing something else other than repeatedly redressing the same car...

Enjoying the game so far. Sadly, I'm 45 minutes away from home and my XBOX baby-sitting for a friend this weekend.

I'd be interested in joining GISH and getting into gaming online, but I am terrible at both racing and trying to paint any cars. I use the braking lines and ABS. Is there a place for folks like me?

If so, I'd love an invite. Gamertag = Boosted C5 (SA username WITHOUT the underscore)
