I’m kind of disappointed I have no clue where my Fourza copy is. It might have been fun to show you guys just how bad I am at racing games.

Damn, I need to get in on one of these, haven’t played in a while though.

I've been planning a full 24 hour gt6 race series, still taking entries 10 spots left!

Ugh, I look at this post and remember the fact that I only have an Xbox One. I’ve never owned a 360, but I want Forza 4 badly.

I can drive like Ayrton Senna if I have unlimited rewinds, otherwise I’m the Pastor Maldonado of racing games.

you guys should cover iRacing events! The racing is much better, physics are much more realistic, and you get almost zero “lolkids” that are just there to wreck people. No LeMans, but plenty of other big events and they have ACTUAL endurance races, not this 2.4 hour child's play.

I can’t find my Fourza disc either. Maybe I left it in the case for Forza. Personally I think Forza is a better game than Fourza, mostly because it exists.

Good to see my crappy racing fron last year lives on through photos of me running the BMW Art Car.

Wish I could have seen this one sooner, I would’ve signed. I raced and won last year in a 787b, and I still have the status :D

I can’t even get it right with the rewinds, half the time.
It doesn’t help that the racing line is inconsistent. Sometimes it has me brake way too early, other times way too late.
![]() 06/14/2015 at 17:13 |

It’s a good way of distinguishing between the different versions. I know where Forza 5 is, but that isn’t what’s being played.

the live stream has f*****g music as background? go f*** yourself.
![]() 06/14/2015 at 17:36 |

I don’t get it right with rewinds half the time as well, which is why I need unlimited.
I find the lines depend on the game; the Fourza system is the one with which I’m attuned: I generally brake a bit later than when the line turns red. When I used the line system in Grid Autosport, even if I hit the brakes before the line turned red I would always brake far too late and crash (modern run off areas are designed for me).

Just watched about 10 minutes of you guys racing. Made me wish I’d not given my 360 to my nephew... Really enjoyed the battle between first and second, good luck guys!

Jesus people it’s Forza. Am I missing something here? Is this an inside joke?

You can get a 360 for around $100 these days! I think.

Did this last year. I’m not a hardcore gamer person (haven’t played any video games since) and I was very much worn out by then end. Yup, 2.4 hours was just too much for me.

Crap. My problem is- I have two Xbox live accounts. One of them is gold. The other isn’t, and the the non-gold one is the one I played Fourza on for such a long time. I have LMP’s and such on the old account and can't get them to the new one. :(

Caught the last 15 minutes of the race.

That was cool even though I only caught the last 20 minutes of the race on twitch.

It was a great event. Shame we lost people to the connection, but endurance racing has its attrition. Looking forward to 2016’s event and the next racing series, whatever it may be.

try it without the racing line. It makes you actually look down the track.

join the oppo club. You can use club cars for club races till you get your own. It doesn’t take long with online play.

I used to race without it, but without any sense of depth or G-force I cannot judge braking points to save my life. Racing without the line consisted of rewinding every corner 2-3 times or just hitting it horribly wrong.

I found watching this amazingly fun. If real racing was only as polite; “Oh, I hit you. Sorry, very sorry about that.”

Great job to you and all drivers coordinating and putting on a show. Wish I could drive clean enough to participate! I just hope Forza 6 has the Gatrick Peorge Camaro Cup and simulates Ferrari/Porsche combustion to up the realism factor. Games are slacking.

How often do these sort of races happen? If I had seen this earlier I would have probably signed up and then played for like 6 hours a day to get an LMP car. But seriously is that s a once a year thing, or are there races like this every few weeks or so?

What is the name/club tag of the oppo club? I may just have to leave my club to join.

It should show up under recent broadcasts on the twitch channel. I’ll also be uploading the broadcast later today on my youtube channel here.

I don’t know when we’ll have another endurance race like this, but up until last week we had two weekly racing series. Right now we’re deciding on the next one. SVTTyler will probably post up the signups for those when a decision is made.

I have plans set up to stream iRacing, but right now I’m just waiting for my wheelbase to arrive.
I can’t speak for anyone else in Club Oppo playing it, though. :/

We’ve done three full racing series in the past year or so on Oppositelock (GT2/GTE, and Trans-Am and Two-Five Challenge run concurrently, with each season lasting ~6 months and 12 rounds) and have plans for more, just trying to figure out exactly what we want to do next. One season will definitely be Rolex/Continental Tire-inspired with stuff like the RX-8 and M3 and Boss 302 but we’re still deciding on the second series. Search ‘Fourza’ on Oppositelock and you’ll see updates and past posts.

Cool, is it sign up whenever or at the beginning of the season? Also, there is a very fun but not very serious race series I’ve done with friends before that might be fun for this, SUV/pickup racing where you fully upgrade the cars and then ruin them and make them almost undrivable via tuning. It’s lots of fun when you are not in a wall (so about 50%of the time) and hilarious to see the entire grid either flip or hit walls on almost every corner.

Guys! Good news!
Microsoft is offering backwards compability on the Xbone, meaning that you’ll be able to play Forza 4 on the Xbox One :D
![]() 06/22/2015 at 10:42 |

Sorry for such a belated reply, I’ve been in France for the past week without Internet. I’ll make a sign-up post once we finalize the two series so everyone knows for sure what we want to do before they hop on board. I’d imagine we’ll have everything sorted out by the first week of July so be on the lookout then.
I’d love to do a totally idiotic series like that, I’ll add it to the poll and see what everyone else thinks of it.

That’s alright, and sounds cool. If that series starts up, I will expect a nice paycheck. Just kidding. (Sorry for the space below. Kinja’s fault)
