New York was the best bad race track ever. A loveable shithole.

It just needed better lighting, which we know is gorgeous in the new FM5/FM6 engine. Hey, here's a funny thought experiment: You're driving Watkins Glen or Lime Rock. The engine is putting tree leaves in the air for you to drive through. You know, for ambiance. What should be floating in the air on New York?

Apex earlier than you would with a rwd car, set the brake bias rearwards by a small amount, also stiffen up the rear arb compared to the front. Trail brake into corners. There are probably more things setup wise you can do with fwd that I cant think of right now.

Top Hats Monthly posted:Hey, what's a good strategy for racing FWD econoboxes? I have a shared tune for the Volvo boxy station wagon (forget name) if you'd like to try it out. Its a pretty great car to learn to drive FWD with. You're going to be able to tune out a lot of the weird throttle handling characteristics of a FWD car. General rules of thumb are 0.1 positive toe, have the front ARB softer than the rear. Put some castor in to help out with aggressive camber. Keep the front springs tighter than the rear. High rebound and low bump rates.

Forza Hub for Windows 10 released. Most interesting feature I've seen so far in about five minutes of playing with it is it has "Stream Game" buttons for all of the Xbox One games that presumably will fire up the Xbox app and tell it to start streaming that game from your console.

I posted a while ago about a tune for the '91 Ferrari 512. Well, this weeks ghost league is S-class AWD so I decided to work on it change it over to AWD and take it out against a horde of Lamborghinis and Dodge Vipers and it's held its own. So here it is, if anyone wants to give it a try. Parts Swap: Engine 4.5 V8 AWD Centrifugal Supercharger Race Intake Race Fuel Stock Ignition Stock Exhaust Stock Camshafts Race Valves Race Centrifugal Supercharger No Intercooler Sport Flywheel Race Brakes Race Springs Race Rollbars No Chassis change Race Weight Reduction Race Clutch Race Transmission Race Driveline Race Differential Race Tires Front Width: 255 Rear Width: 335 Sport Rims - 9 Spoke (or similar weight reduction) Front & Rear Aero S800 / Final Weight: 3,083 lbs --------- Tire Pressure: 27.5 Final Drive: 4.67 Camber: -1.2 / -1.2 Toe: 0.1 / -0.1 Caster: 4.9 ARB: 18.92 / 22.10 Front Spring: 595.6 Rear Spring: 690.5 Ride Height: 3.6 / 3.5 Rebound: 7.5 / 9.0 Bump: 3.7 / 4.2 Aero: 100 / 200 Brake Balance: 50 Pressure: 122% Front Diff: 35 / 0 Rear Diff: 60 / 25 Balance: 70%

The first is the 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II (Diebels Alt livery, the Germans love them some beer):   ...and one of the cars I didn't use, the Warsteiner (another beer) 1991 BMW M3:   My highest priorities now are the replica Lancia 037 Stradale and the replica Ford V8 Supercar.

I love the "Team howdy" on your car, which obviously i totally stole it from you recently on my cars. You should put it in big letters on the rear bumper like i do. Awesome liveries.

I know how stupid it is to claim there's a "Team HOWDY." That's what makes it funny to me. When I saw your #77 Car with "Team Dizzle" on it I must tell you I laughed. You would not have done that if we weren't simpatico, history notwithstanding. Dude, you've been cool to me and I want you to know I appreciate that. Thanks for easing off my rear bumper. I mean that. I didn't even capitalize it right. I see it's "TEAM Howdy." Shows you how much I pay attention. Dr. Faustus fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Dec 12, 2015 |

No reason to play Forza 5, its a launch title and a worse game overall than Forza 4.
