Open top sports cars, ripping it up at the Mulsanne like in the days of yore...just as it was always meant to be. (link fixed)* !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! *

Lovely turnout for this race. Everyone had a unique vehicle they brought to the track (and someone actually used the Shelby Cobra!). Some people were pretty over the time, but hey, it’s Le Mans, I’m not going to judge. Driving was great all around, especially the constant fight for 4-5-6 among myself, Corey, and IDDaVo. Spectating was apparently just as good for the spectators (Parlock via game and Tareim via Twitch). Good times.

Things I learned: my inability to stay consistent is really biting me in the ass this series (although me being unable to hear my car/tires at some points due to stream settings probably isn’t helping either), so I should probably rein it in on pushing stuff harder. Also, I noticed some points where tuning individual gears (something I pretty much never do), might have been able to rid me of some grief versus other cars during the race. Adjusting the final drive for top speed was a good idea overall, but I paid for it in other areas.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES:

- A collision occurred between SVTyler and IDDaVo on the last lap before the Ford Chicanes, causing IDDaVo to be knocked out of second place while SVTyler moved onwards. However, this was settled after the race with IDDaVo deciding to yield second place to SVTyler. No penalties will be given.

- The next race will not be until a month from now. I will be out of town in two weeks for the Eureka Springs Antique Auto Show. Anyhow, that’s about the time when Forza 6 comes out for people who ordered the Ultimate Editions, so I’m sure some of you will be having fun with that.

Superhatches will be at Bernese Alps this week. And how do I take the post race pictures and get them to my computer?

Upload the pictures to your forza storefront, then go to forzamotorsport.net. Login to your XBL account using the sign-in in the upper right corner. Once you’re signed in, mouse over the “Community” dropdown menu, then click “Gallery”. That will lead you to the gallery of all your uploaded photos/videos/bigimagephotos. You can save/download them from there.

This was probably the sketchiest pass of any of my sketchiest passes. Great race.

Also did you get to watch the end of the race where I bumped Fearless? I couldn’t tell from my perspective whose fault it was (mostly mine probably, but it seemed like he was off-track and rejoined a bit abruptly).

I actually haven’t seen the end of the replay yet. I’m pleasantly surprised it actually lasted to the point where Tohru got flung by the breadsticks, so it possibly saved even further. Unfortunatly, I accidentally backed out of the replay towards the end, and honestly didn’t feel like waiting all the way through again. :/

Absolutely. Although Xbone seems to operate on a different network than 360, so I’m not sure if you’ll be able to make it to the Fourza stuff. :/
