Forza 3 Challenge/Races

Daffy and I were thinking of organising a few races, probably every sunday. Each race will have set of rules to build and race a car by, over a set of tracks.

If it picks up a bit of momentum we will also do an ongoing car building challenge.

So the inaugural automation Forza Challenge:

Car:
Any front wheel drive car of your choice, build to up to (and including) 350 points.

What is not allowed in the build:
  • Slicks(Race Tyres)
  • Any additional aero beyond stock.
  • Drivetrain conversions (Must remain FWD)

Rules
  • We will have forced off assists. No ABS, STM, TCM
  • Only allowed auto boxes if on controller.
  • Forced cockpit perspective.
  • Collision rules are subject to lag/latency concerns. We want it to be on, but sometimes the internet has other ideas.
  • Damage is simulation.

Tracks
  • Fujimi Old Down Hill
  • Maple Valley (3 laps)
  • Nurburgring (1 lap)

Times
Sunday 15th May
  • EST: 7:00AM
  • UTC/GMT: 11:00AM
  • AEST: 9:00PM

Reply here if you are going to attend. Forza is only 8 player so its first come first serve.

Aww, no GTR2 challenges? :P Too bad!
But this sounds like a very nice initiative, I hope people jump at the offer :)

Oh, no you CAN use manual on a pad if you like, what you aren't allowed to do is use auto on the wheel, cause thats just lazy! :P

Re: Forza 3 Challenge/Races

Whilst only sidewynda turned up (Im lead to believe that jono had a big night :P)it was still epic fun.

We did various things starting with the races we originally planned.

I built a twingo, sidewynda a focus, and zeussy a truly mutant Saab 99


After that we progressed to various tracks in a AWD converted Focus RS (Sidewynda), a very quick Mugen Integra with an s2000 motor (zeussy) and a Turboed & Cammed gen1 MX5/Miata (me)


We'll be doing the same thing again, sametime next week if you want to join us. (you might want to prepare a B500 car as thats what we will probably race)
