Like most of you, I have spent more time than I care to admit since 2011 playing Forza 4 (FM4), aka Fourza. Its been very addictive.
Forza 4 is a fantastic game; in fact, it is so good, that after Forza 5 was released, many continued to play FM4, in spite of the new platform advantages.
But time moves on, and waits for no man...I for one, am just a little sad to see it go.
FM6 showed up on September 15, and it is the real deal. Most feel it is as good, if not better than FM4. Also, a lot of us have transitioned on to FM6, but what do you guys think about one last big final hurrah for FM4?
Think about this idea: Finish up all the current Oppolock Fourza racing series with a big multi-race blowout.
Schedule the remaining series (hot hatches, classic roadsters, Grand Am, CTSCC) to all to run on the same day, back-to-back, for a total of 5 laps each. Schedule it for a holiday weekend (like Thanksgiving weekend, or after the students are on Christmas break), when most are able to relax for a few.
As I see, it would only take a couple hours out of a Saturday afternoon, tops.
I do plan to start and host a vintage Trans-Am, vintage stock car, and CTSCC series on FM6, probably kicking off next summer, so this is not the end...just a fun way of closing one chapter, before starting the next.
IMO, it would be a really cool way to end with FM4.
What do you guys think?

No, it’s Xbox Live. They keep the servers up forever.

Not that I know of. Although the DLC is no longer available for purchase as of September.

No, servers will stay up. People are going back and playing FM2, and FM3 to increase their tier in the Rewards section; and I would bet that FM4 still has some life in it due to the expense of upgrading to XBONE

More Fourza would be nice. I haven’t been on because all the rich pricks have been busy playing with their Xboners.

Wow. It wouldn’t hurt them to offer them for free.

OK. Sounds like I have a few takers....
I’m thinking we should call it the “Big Bash” or “Big Crash” (for some of us).
Thinking about holding it on a Saturday, on Dec. 12, or Dec 19.
What date is best for you guys?

19th since the week prior is final exam week for a lot of schools. Anytime after that would work, really.

Well Gentlemen, looks like we can do FM4 one last time on the 19 December...and it will be called “The Big Bash!”
Will post up more info shortly.
If it is to be truly successful, I think all that commit to The Big Bash race(s) should commit to each race series. It’s always a better race when there are more race cars on the track....
We can get thru all the series in about 1.5 hours if we keep each race to 5 laps per race.
