A few weeks ago I threw out this idea about finishing up all the current Oppolock Fourza racing series with a big multi-race blowout on FM4 . Finish up FM4 properly with some old Oppolock friends who have not gone to XBOne just yet. Afterwards, those of us with FM6 will keep up the tradition next year.
There was interest in the idea, so I figured we should do it. Of course it all depends on commitments from the other series host, but I’ll commit to do CTSCC and Vintage Stock cars...
Here is the basic premise behind The Big Bash! 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 period weekend (like Thanksgiving weekend, or after the students are on Christmas break), when most are able to relax for a few minutes.
All previously set rules for each respective series will remain in place, and we continue to follow the established Oppolock traditions of racecraft.
Heres the biggest part of The Big Bash! that makes it unique and fun: you will jump out of one race car, and immediately go into another race and race car upon completion of the current race. This can be challenging, but its similar in concept to racing in the ABCS series of circuit races in an online lobby, where in each race you are at a different track, and PI classification of car.
19 December 2015 , start time of 4:00pm EST (US) is the date and time.
* Apologies folks, but due to unforeseen issues, I will have to reschedule this until 2 January 2016. Same time, and set up.
Have a great Holiday Season (Merry Christmas) and Happy New Year!
Sound like fun? Hell yeah! Lets do this.
The CTSCC race will run at Sebring, and the Vintage Stock cars will run at Indy full.

I was really excited to participate but I guess you need to have a XB Live sub which I haven’t had for a year or two now. Do you have to buy XB Live subs in 1-year formats or can you get them in shorter durations? I never play XB360 anymore with no plans to upgrade to XBOne so I definitely don’t need a full year sub.
Also, I still play with assists since with faster cars I’m guaranteed to lock-up under braking and spin my wheels in every traction zone, whether it’s wheel or controller.

I think you can do 1 month subs, definitely can do 3 months

I won’t be able to make this because my little brother apparently took our 360 with him to school and won’t be back until Monday :(

This still planned?
Also, what are we doing for the cars that were supposed to be PI-balanced? Are we just sticking to what we last used, or are we upgrading them to the starting PI for their series?

Sorry mate that I didn’t get in touch earlier as I really enjoyed your series, and would have continued to participate (I have been swamped at work, and with family issues); as this is still FM4, I would recommend that you go BOP for the track and times you want to see in your series.
As for the CTSCC it will be BOP, HOWEVER, with Vintage Stock cars, the tunes in the old club garage are so closely matched, that I would simply use them. I will put them up in my storefront sometime this week end, and then for the sake of visuals, I’d put my own livery on the car that I choose to race since this will be the LAST online FOURZA race and will be recorded.
