The new xbox sounds dumb, but I'll probably get it. As long as the kinect stuff isn't required to actually do anything with the console. If I can still use my controller to get around the interface and get into forza, I don't mind. If the kinect is required to be installed, I'll just plug it in and then put it inside a box so it can't look at me. My only requirements are: Open wheeled vehicles The ability to use my current wheel (even if I have to plug it in with USB)

Hahaha the GT6 v. FM5 purse fights are starting? Goddamn, I thought that poo poo stopped in the 90s. Trailers don't mean poo poo and just buy whatever game you like.

Oh realy bad engine sounds too. To be honest i'm hopeing that project CARS is gonna be awesome and I can just update my pc instead of having to bother with consoles anymore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eEjRPEmKzA

As soon as the pack entered the chicanes in the back and the camera angle changed, I knew not everyone was leaving wheels down. Nice to see a year and a half after launch, that curb is still turning cars over.

The only reason i managed to win most of the races in that was because when I did the setup on the clio, I made sure the springs were soft enough to ride over the curbs without flipping. But then it wasnt enough to overcome this!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFIeVcYQ7Y0

Like I told GentlemanofLeisure I was inspired to come up with this, strangely, by the Ping Pong tournaments the guys behind Penny Arcade play against other Seattle game companies. They have a mini tournament within their company before each match to determine rankings and they face off against the guy whos ranked the same on the other team and then tally up individual wins to determine which team wins the match.

Are there any rules in place as far as clean vs dirty laps are concerned? Also on Alps I suggest the host parks on the left side of the start/finish straight as there aren't a lot of runoff areas and the racing line is on the right side of the track in that section. The Audi is actually a lot better to drive than I expected. However, the guy I'm racing is roughly the same speed as someone I'm familiar with so looks like ill have my hands full.

I've always thought this would be a fun idea. Only problem is submitting times. If your time set is not a personal best, a replay has to be saved and put on your storefront. If you guys want to suggest some car/track combos I will set this up to run for two weeks from June 1 thru June 14. If no one replies ill assume its stupid and no one is interested.

A few times in the past ive done a hot lap in a car (that i tuned to my preferences of course) on a particular track and put that car in the club garage. Then challenfed my club to race against my ghost on the leaderboards with the vague hope of winning a prize there was no prize.

Yeah that doesn't work as well when there are people in different car clubs participating. I guess storefront tunes could be used but allowing people free choice of cars within a certain pi limit seems like a better option.

Well, with Forza 5 on the horizon (no pun intended), perhaps a "Road to 5" series of challenges. There's roughly 7 months to go, and 10 classes, so perhaps we can do a bi-weekly challenge to give everyone a chance and to avoid crowding up the weekly races. I'll do some poking around, maybe pick the 'gooniest' cars from each class, and try a spec/stock series. Though if we did a weekly, we should have enough time to basically do every "environment" before F5's release.

 http://forzagoons.tumblr.com Due to Scoring will be counted the same way it's counted on the FM4 Rivals events. Clean laps will be scored ahead of dirty laps. To submit your time, you can take a picture of your screen with a camera or cell phone and post it here or send it to me in a PM, or you can save a replay on Forza and send it to me (GT: whatcubed3), or if your time was a personal best then tell me what position on the leaderboard it's at and I can verify that way. I will be curating two leaderboards: - Individual - A list of all drivers from fastest to slowest - Club - Clubs will be ranked based on the places of their drivers. Rankings will be kept on http://forzagoons.tumblr.com and at the end of each event a leaderboard will be posted in this thread. The Events June 1 - June 14 @ 10pm Eastern US Time   Get your times in now! Upcoming events - E @ Maple Valley Short, S @ Infineon Nascar - D @ Road Atlanta Club, R3 @ Mugello Full - C @ Sedona Club Reverse, R2 @ Le Mans la Sarthe - B @ Nurburgring Nordschleife, R1 @ Road America Specs won't be revealed until the rivals events change weeks GentlemanofLeisure fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Jun 1, 2013 |

My vote for future challenges: All Nurburgring Nordschleife, All The Time (nice little event, make sure to keep the lower class stuff in there! You should keep separate boards for controller and wheel users.)

Controller users are usually faster. I'm kind of slow with a wheel but I use it because it's more fun.
