Official Forza 4 Race night thread!

[EightySix Four]

lol...forza racing secret santa?

Exactly.


Don't get me wrong, I love our serious race nights as much as any and they make me drive better... but our screw around nights are hilarious and fun.

 

[cloud7a]

yaaaa santa is coming to forza.

 

[EightySix Four]

Anyone hear from foghorn?

 

[vshah]

yeah, he can't make it. Kabob is up next...will PM him

 

[Kabob]

For now I say pass over me. We moved to St. Louis a few months ago and I still haven't found a job or a house, until I do we're staying with family which isn't as bad as I thought it would be, but the downside is that I can't hop on at 8 CST. Hopefully the situation will change soon but until then don't make me the picker.

 

[vshah]

saratoga is next, sent him a PM. if he can't do it then quickwgn is up as queasy probably won't join and i think arby is playing every other week.

 

[QuikWgn]

I'd love to see an A600 class night where you have to drive a car that someone else made. We could all come up with the worst tunes possible and gift them to someone else for that night

I would be totally down for that!

 

[ivan2]

I think we done it in the old days of forza 2. And it didn't bode well with some members.

 

[cloud7a]

i would be fine with it.

No, someone else got to pick what you drove (from a pre-approved list). You got to tune it yourself though.

It didn't go so well, CK got the VW Beetle and quit shortly after.

I mean... it was a Beetle... That's just wrong.

well it is your pick next week, so lay down the rules!

forza 2 beetle's a top ring car

anyway after that 800 hp challenger, i guess you can't make me drive anything worst.

Saratoga is next week. I'm the week after. If Saratoga doesn't come through I will work on it and post it by Saturday night. I'm thinking a c/d/e spec built car will probably be my choice. Something off the wall and not one of the usual suspects. Maybe the:

Kia Forte SX
Volvo 240 Turbo Evolution
Mazda MazdaSpeed RX-8
Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II
Saturn Ion Redline
Saab 9-3 Aero

Something cheap to build but also maybe something you wouldn't normally drive in game.

Go ahead and take the pick for this week. I should be on but I'm cool with passing the pick. Something could come up between now and then for me.

 

[QuikWgn]

Ok I'll start working on it tonight and share it in the garage tomorrow sometime.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

I like the idea of a spec built car.

 

[QuikWgn]

I'll share it in the club garage. That way you can set up a lobby race with AI players and make some money while you test drive it!

 

[ivan2]

Surprise me

 

[QuikWgn]

This week's car is in the team garage. Behold the Volvo 242 Turbo Evolution. Livery is still coming along but feel free to test drive the Volvo and provide 'constructive' feedback...

I drove it all the way around the Nordschleife today in an online C-class race. It's a very stable car and handles reasonably well. It's not fast, but certainly not painfully slow either. Should make for fun racing as a spec car.

 

[QuikWgn]

Yeah it's not a leaderboard car for sure, but I was looking for something easy to handle that'll make for some close racing.

 

[m0r1san]

Sounds like a very fun car and race this coming Wednesday. Too bad I'm out of town.. will have to join next week.

you're not invited next week.

 

[Lotheron]

Looks like I will have to skip this week, have to travel to Dallas for business. Someone else will finally be able to host
