Forza 6 Petit Le Mans Official Post!

I’ll try to organize this post as well as I can, but bear with me as this isn’t exactly my strong suit...

DATE AND TIME: Race day will be Saturday, October 10th, one week after the real race. For the time, we had a pretty even split in the polls between 4:30PM EST (the usual) and 3:00PM EST (to make it easier on European players), so this poll will be the final decision. Please vote if you plan to participate.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

RULES: Same as always. See SVTyler’s series posts for a refresher.

LENGTH: Again, we didn’t come to a very good consensus on this... Please vote here if you plan to participate.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

CARS: You can choose any modern (post-2010) LMP or GT car at all.

MODIFICATIONS : LMP cars should be P. Absolutely no X-class cars. The only rule for upgrades is that you cannot have drag tires. Any other upgrade is fair game as long as your car has a PI of 998 or lower.

Same thing for GT cars, except they should be class R. No drag tires.

OTHER INFO : We will be running multiclass on Road Atlanta’s full circuit. Damage WILL be set to simulation, so pit strategy will play a big role. I also will have contact set to be always on, so if you spin out, you will need to wait for a clearing in traffic. Because of these changes to our normal set-up, anyone who is thought to be intentionally causing wrecks, or anyone who is consistently careless when passing or rejoining the track, will be asked to disconnect from the race. If you cooperate, you will still be allowed to return to future events. But if you fail to do so, I will (if possible) kick you during my next pit stop, and you will be banned from any future race I host. Other Forza hosts will be informed of your behavior as well, and there is a possibility that you will never get to play with us again. So basically don’t be a dick.

One more thing: Custom liveries are not required, but they are strongly encouraged. At the very least, please give your car a number. This is just to ensure that our post-race photos look good. A solid-color car in a field of detailed racers can ruin the whole shot.

I will keep you updated on any changes in the weeks to come!

Just finished the demo and need less to say I am hyped for next week. I’m British so the earlier the better as for length can I suggest we do 3 stints of 1 hour racing. One at day, one at night and one in the wet. Also R3 IS P class now or is it R?

Maybe 12:00pm CST because I don’t know if I’ll be working or not yet. I usually go in at 5pm CST, but leave at 4:30 CST to get there.

I don’t think Road Atlanta is available in wet or night, unfortunately. :/

Do you have an XBox 360? We were planning an alternate race for last-gen peeps with Forza 4 that would run on a different day.

I traded my x360 in

Well it was worth a shot. Depending on how many people have scheduling conflicts we could always do another Forza 6 race at on a different day, we’d just need someone to organize it all.

Of course I’m working that weekend, son of a bitch.

I've seen the Fourza stuff before and wanted to get involved but I'm not sure that I'm good enough and my 360 hasn't been connected in a while. I want to get in on some of the 6 races if possible in the future.

I would love to do this and things may change but as of now I will be home from college that weekend and wont be able to take my xbox home. If there is a date change I would love to do or if things change and I cant go home.

We’ll see if I still have Live by then, if so I may join?

Also is there a PI limit on the GT cars? Might help to add one so the speed disparity is as high as possible, that way we can minimize the amount of inter-class traffic that gets stuck behind everyone.

Rainbow > SVTyler
10/08/2015 at 08:15

Hmm, maybe. I think my Mercedes maxes out at 860-ish, though, so it might not be too big of a problem. Do many of the other GT cars go higher than that?

Sign me up for that. I’m old school (or just cheap).

Really hope you guys do something similar again. Saturdays are a no go for me sadly.

Oh hell yeah. I hope my internet lets me participate, seems better with FM6, Brian Silvestro and I have been racing a bunch.

I’m gonna spec a Z4 GTLM for this.

What is your Gamertag so we can find you on race day? Mine is Parlock3 if you want to add me. I’ll be running in the GT class on Saturday.

I’ve shared this post to Digital Burnouts as it’s easier to find it due to there not being a flood of posts every 10 mins or so, feel free to post more Forza stuff over there I’ve given you authorship to do so

Rainbow > Autofixation
10/08/2015 at 17:48

Mine’s GoatBird. We might already be friends, or at least we’ve raced together a lot.

np, I know I’ve missed Forza posts in the past due to different time zone and not scrolling through 5 pages worth, should be easier to find this time :D

I haven’t played enough yet to be any good. Keep them coming though, I’ll join in as soon as I’m comfortable...will it be streamed anywhere, or is it possible to watch from a lobby?

I believe it’s possible to spectate from lobbies. I plan on streaming the race though. I think others might be streaming as well due to the Xbone Twitch app.

Here’s to hoping I don’t spin out too many times this weekend. Or suffer massive hand cramps.

I’m new to the xbox...how do I find the twitch streams?

That could be anything from watching witch through your browser, to using a twitch app on a device. My twitch channel is here , but I don’t know about anyone else’s. I guess searching for key words this weekend such as “Petit Le Mans” or “Jalopnik” or “Oppositelock” is your best bet.

I’m not sure, but maybe you could also search on the twitch xbox app to find streams by gamertag.

I think that’s about the limit for most of the cars, though we might want to make it 840 or so and use only the first restrictor so the cars are complete nightmares to drive.

I’ll let you know what we come up with, for right now there doesn’t seem to be a lot of interest for a 360 race unfortunately, seems like everyone’s moved to XB1 :|

Y u no LMP1 bro?

Maybe, but I think it’s probably too late to change the rules. I could mess with the handicap settings to put a slight damper on speed, though.

I’m going to trade in my PS3, and all my games, maybe all my BluRay DVDs in order to try and get a X-Box one in time for this.

Good luck. It starts in just under 21 hours.

I completely overlooked the fact that this is at Road Atlanta rather than Le Mans so things are going to be interesting, never used an LMP around RA

GT is Sweggitup. Now to choosing my car... Rebellion LMP1 or GTE car? I have no idea

Rainbow > Hot Takes Salesman
10/10/2015 at 12:05

I think there are more GT cars at the moment, but either one is fine! Just be sure to have it ready before 3 this afternoon if you want to race.

I just got it and made my livery- a USMC design
