A loving transit :rms:

I literaly want to see a spec transit race with 16 people outcunting eachother on the ring in builders vans. I wonder if the aero lets you put a ladder on top.

I'm there. So, so very pumped for a Supervan.

What was it, 10 minutes that Sabine was trying to beat in the Transit? I can easily do that in a stock van. :smugbert:

I'm just glad they had the sense to use the proper two door model, and not that Wrangler X SUV-lite nonsense.

Also, it's not too surprisng that a Wrangler and the newer 300C are in, after the slew of old Alfas I'm pretty sure Chrysler-Fiat are using the game as a brand awareness building tool. Plus Jeeps are selling in pretty good quantities these days, from what I've read.

That is all.

FAKE EDIT: All Turn 10 needs to do now is release some sort of track pack(plural, PLEASE) and I will be their bitch for life. They've pulled out all the stops with Forza 4, only a couple of token "Look what boring cars we've made AGAIN" cars included in the massive pile of DLC. A lot of quirky cars, a ton of appeal to the closet gearheads like myself while still capturing enough interest from the ignorant, slobbering pubbie masses.

No, it's more sensible than that. It's basically "If they did let us do a GTi/Si etc, this is what it would be like". I think it's a 3.2l 5cyl.

It's almost definitely RWD already, since the Transit 'Jumbo' they transplanted the (diesel) engine from is RWD. Still a fairly tame affair compared to the proper SuperVans:



Not a supervan but glorious and similar:

Oh I thought the new shape ones were all fwd apart from the chassis cab ones which you can have fwd/awd/rwd.

What game was the espace f1 in? gt2 I think, that thing was mental.

It's a good thing that the supersport transite whatever is low on power. This means low PI, which gives us essentially a blank canvas!

I hope that one of the aero options is a roof rack with ladder.

Yeah, send a join invite to the AUGR club and race with us. We try pretty hard not to hit other drivers and if someone does hit you, you can yell at them and make them feel bad on mic.

Also, can someone post up several CL ads for cars for the GoonMons spec? I am working late tonight and won't have much time to find a car and make a tune. If someone wanted to make a couple and put them on their storefront, I'd be even happier. Leave details in this thread, TIA.

GTCC has spec races every week and is filled with people who work hard to race cleanly. Also dick jokes. If you'd like to try it out, you're welcome to.

Oh, and just a heads up: we're fine with people not in GTCC racing with us as long as you both aren't a dick and you bring a car that fits the spec. We had people joining last week, but got them to quit because they didn't have a car for the race.

On the leaderboard screens, I know what ABS & TCS and all that are, but what does the little paperclip signify? As far as I've been able to tell I can't race against those without 2 halves in the paperclip column, and sometimes my time says I have one, sometimes not.

The paperclip means your replay has been saved so you or others can race against it in rivals or time trials.
