And here are the rules and schedule. And a Panoz.

SCHEDULE

All righty then. First up the way the racing schedule will work. Every two weeks there will be a points race done in current GT cars. Restricted cars and the points system will be explained below. In the weeks between these GT points races there will be 'fun' races. The track and cars will be decided the week before. Think spec Miata racing at Laguna Seca perhaps. These races are not for points.

THE VEHICLES

These are the cars that are NOT legal

-The cars will all be Current GT cars. No car will be allowed in with a PI over R3-800

-Any car that can do any engine modification other than Remove restrictors

-Related to the point above, you will be restricted to only the mid grade restrictor modification, however, you may tune the car how ever you wish.

-If it doesn't have a Number in the car name ( for example, 2011 Panoz #050 Panoz Racing Abruzzi) It isn't legal.

-All of the Porsche GT3 Cup cars are NOT allowed, however the Porsche RSR cars ARE allowed. We will let you get your Beetle fix.

-The Dodge Viper Competition Coupes are not allowed.

-The Audi R8 LMS is not allowed.

-The BMW Z4 GT3 is not allowed.

-If the car you chose isn't affected by any of the points above, you can assume it is legal. A good reference would be Viggen's class restrictions from last Thursdays LeMans endurance race. Ill post them in comments if anyone needs them.

THE POINTS

The points system is very simple.

1st - 16 points

2nd - 15 points

3rd - 14 points

4th - 13 points

5th - 12 points.

I think you get the picture. This goes the same all the way to 16th place, who will recieve one point.

THE SCHEDULE.

Mark these on your calendar kiddies, we're going to keep you occupied all the way to Christmas break. Starting this Sunday. Also, all of these races will be between 1 to 1 and a half hours long, starting at nine pm Eastern Time. There will be posts the day before and the day of to remind people.

June 22 - 24 laps of Sebring.

June 29 - Fun

July 6 - 24 laps of Silverstone

July 13 - Fun

July 20 - 24 laps of Twin Rings Motegi

July 27 - Fun

August 3 - 24 laps of Laguna Seca

August 10 - Fun

August 17 - 24 laps of Nurburg GP

August 24 - Fun

August 31 - 24 laps of Indy

September 7 - Fun

September 14 - 20 laps of Suzuka

September 21 - Fun

September 28 - 24 laps of Infineon

October 5 - Fun

October 12 - 24 laps of Mugello

October 19 - Fun

October 29 - 24 laps of Road America

November 2 - Fun

November 9 - 16 laps of Nurburgring Nordschleife

November 16 - Fun

November 23 - 24 laps of Road Atlanta

November 30 - Fun

December 7 - 24 laps of Hockenhiem

December 14 - Fun

December 21 - 24 laps of Camino Viejo Extreme

That will be the end of that racing season. There will more than likely another starting up sometime in late January to early February, but that is still a ways off yet and will be decided as we get closer. It will probably be in a different car class as well.

For now, get your GT car ready, Get some practice in at the full course at Sebring, and put your name and Gamer Tag in the comments below. I'll be practicing with the Batmobile over the next few days, so jump on line and well do some warm up races.

Also, if there is something you fell I missed, don't hesitate to tell me, constructive criticism never goes unwanted.

Are you going to pull anything weird like "we are running this track backwards"? Also, I've never played Forza 4 online before - just the local version. How do I know what cars or classes I can bring to the race? - edit sorry for the n00b questions. I've been gaming for years, but never online with the xbox.

They call me Meepenator99.

My Fourza disc may or not have been cracked and scratched by my disc drive. While it works still - just - it often freezes and takes abnormally long to load. Also seems to screw up the synchronization over the server.

Just figured I'd let you know before I joined and broke everything.

Also, have you considered any type of qualifying system since we will be points racing? As for cars, I'll probably be in the Krohn Ferrari or the #92 BMW. I'll have to do some laps to decide which.

Right, i'll have to back up to being a complete forza online n00b - do you have to 'earn' cars like in career mode or do you get access to all cars like in 'free race' mode.

06/18/2014 at 22:16

You need to have the cars in your garage, but if you need a car to race, there is likely some one out there who can send you one. Or you can join the Oppo car club in forza and there is a garage of shared cars that you can use there.

I won't be able to make enough of the events to be a title contender due to my real life race schedule (that's a joke because I'm not good enough at Forza to be a title contender anyway), but I'd be interested in getting in on this. Rallying the next two Sundays, so I'll start at Silverstone. Gamertag is DVMSteve

dude, I had an epic crash that wiped 5 people on the OPENING lap of the LeMans race. Don't worry about it. Just don't wreck anyone intentionally.

Holy crap a lot of people signed up! You know I'm in, GT's mackleroy45. Also how are we going to determine who participates if more than 16 people sign up? If we need to start a second lobby or something let me know. Also here's this from my Le Mans post so you don't have to go hunting for it:

TheVancen- In Pursuit of a Greater Payday and Car Parts > SVTyler
06/19/2014 at 00:17

Thanks man, If we get more than 16 people, we will probably split the number of people more or less equally so we dont leave anyone out and there isnt, like 2 people in a lobby. Also like to point out that the 911 GT3 CUP cars, the BMW Z4 GT3 and Audi R8 LMS are still not legal.

TheVancen- In Pursuit of a Greater Payday and Car Parts > SVTyler
06/19/2014 at 00:19

And counting you we are now up to 13 cars for the season opener.

Ah, didn't see that, need to read the whole post next time :P And 13 people is awesome, can't wait for this Sunday.

Not sure if I'll have time to get in to any races or not. My GT is SubieSTi293 and if/when I show up I'll be the slow as eff moving chicane.

I'm in, and I do have a question. I have a GT M3 liveried for a previous Oppo race that I missed, and if I recall correctly, it's R2. Obviously I can and would downgrade, but I'm wondering if that means it has too many modifications and thus is not allowed regardless.

I'm not sure if I can afford another eligible car, and there's no way I'm repainting my Robertson GT. I think there were M3s last week, so I should be good, but if not, can anyone help me out?

GT is GoatBird.

hahaha I'm glad you appreciate it. Kids think twice before saying they fucked a "beastonroid's" mom in a CoD lobby. I didn't expect it to be ahhhaha but why is it not, just so i can avoid choosing an actual can that isn't legal

just bring it down to R3 and follow the other rules.

One more question about the rules... When you say it's restricted to only the mid-grade remove restrictors upgrade, do you mean all other upgrades are off limits?

TheVancen- In Pursuit of a Greater Payday and Car Parts > Rainbow
06/22/2014 at 19:00

you can use any upgrade except the top tier restrictor modification.

I gotta get back into this series. I raced Indy and mistakenly thought I could hang with all my assists off. Come to find out, I'm probably limited to manual+interior view.

Assists are there to handicap yourself against the less talented. When the less talented take the assists off, it's a laff riot.
