"Unofficial" GRM Forza 4 Spec IT7 Series

I'll be there...if my ISP has gotten it's collective act together and fixed things.

I look forward to dueling with whomever for last place

1:55 and change clean!

In reply to friedgreencorrado:

Sorry. KrankyK00t. Looking forward to it.

Guys, what time zone are the start times? Pacific?

friedgreencorrado - sorry I wasn't able to join your race, I was having network problems last night. I think I have them solved for tonight's race.

Done with my livery...

The real one

Mine. It's a mixture of three different cars....that belt line moulding really screws things up, thanks turn 10

Dart, I think I owe you an apology..the router got very unhappy for some reason last night. I'm playing with it, but I might not be on tonight. We can only use one device at a time right now, everything has to go straight through the modem. If they want to watch movies (she's off tonight and no school tmw), I'll be out.

I'll play with the router a little bit, maybe I can get it working again.

I'm out for tonight. Haven't had a chance to practice all week. I'll try to get my E36 M3 together for next week. Is anyone else having a hard time getting on Sears Point long? I swear I waited 10 minutes the other night and finally gave up.

No worries Fried. I thought something went haywire as your gamertag went red, then you vanished.

Good racing last night!

I'm out tonight. I'm currently sans Xbox, and I have some fatherly duties to attend to. However, I should have an Xbox within the next week and ready to play next friday. Have fun tonight!

I have not decals applied right now and am trying to get some last minute work done... Hoping to be on.

We're on now!

Well, it was fun while it lasted....

Internet died, then came back to life but I was already out of the lobby and couldn't get back in.

Come back now for the sprint race.

Dude, I apologize for that terrible braking job going into the hairpin. I was not trying to cut you off, I was in full lockup, going right towards the back of you while you were at your turn in, track left. So going to the inside you was the best out come.

F: -1.0

R: -0.8

Its all good man, no worries :-)

Replays are up! Feature race is incomplete (as usual), but the sprint is complete. Search for storefronts, and type in "friedgrncorrado".

Can't resist..one photo from the sprint race: Three wide into T1.

Yeah, y'all go. I'll catch up.

Sorry I missed out last night, had a really busy day yesterday, and another busy morning to be up for early, so racing wasn't in the cards.

I was not able to make last night either. The time is a little early for me, but I may be able to make the sprint races. Anyway, I did get a chance (after the kiddos were in bed) to do my livery. The car is sponsored by my fictitious Mazda race car building company, Oxnard Wankel. Yes, I live in Oxnard, and I thought I would make the shop's name as awful sounding as possible...

In reply to Anti-stance:

I have a livery for you posted to my storefront, if you're still interested.

My first thought looking at those settings was that if I used Bootsy's setup the car would understeer like a pig for me. And it does, yet is still faster than the tune I had on my own. It's got an odd feel to it, but it obviously works. Now to see if I can dial out some of the understeer to better fit it to my driving style without slowing the car any.

I found the exact same thing. It's scary, but faster than I've done on my own tune.

I like my FR cars with HEAVY understeer on throttle.

Lainford, I sent you a tuned Hachi to test. I was getting identical lap times with it and the IT7 on Laguna. Yes, I like things different and I would run my little vintage Japanese livery with a little bit more of the club stuff, etc on it(what I sent you was for you to look at, maybe correct any tuning, then send back so it can be raced in the series as my permanent racer) The only other 85 car that would maybe work is the heavy Supra, but Forza made sure they din;t put a lot of 85's in the game.
