Let's put a race together! (Forza 2 on Xbox Live)

you still doing gears of war?

I don't play Gears of War much but if you online and see me send me an invite and if I'm not deep into a game or just goofing around with my friends online then I'll join you also I do play halo3 and I'm up to do that too.
 
If I had an X360 id be all over this. But I dont so Ill just sit in a corner and weep. :frown: :biggrin:
 
Crap. I have Xbox360 and FM2 but I don't have Xbox Live. I guess I need to cough up the dough.:redface:
 
OK...

I went online to set-up the race/room to get this thing ready for tomorrow (Thursday) night. Either I don't know what the hell I'm doing, or there is no way to make a "Private Race", so it appears ANYONE can enter the race. If anyone knows how to set up a Private race, let me know. Nonetheless... here are the parameters and what you will need to do...

It is going to be a "series race" meaning there are going to be five tracks/races back to back, five laps each. The ONLY restriction is that you MUST use an "A" Class Honda NSX-R (any year, and not a GT). If you do not already have one, you need to buy an NSX-R in Career mode and build it up to class "A" for use in the race (make sure you have a good balance of power and handling, i.e. tires/suspension). Nurb is the last track, and at 12+ miles x5 laps... it's gonna be a loooong race, so be prepared. The other four are all approx 2.5 miles
I think you can lock it so that you can only let your friends that you have added come in. Might not work, but worth a shot.

I don't think I can make tonight until 9 central or so :( Might see if yall are still playing then
 
Well for the guys that are in the race I have made numbers box thingy with a little cool design for our FM2 "NSXPRIME" series race. Currently I've been assigned number 4 so thats my number so I'm a try to send them out to you guys although I may not be able to. Also you dont' have to use it of course but its just for kicks to make it somewhat official hehe.

Here is what I made incase you guys would like to create it yourself.

The easiest way to do this without knowing how to create a private room is to have anybody who wants to join send me a friend invite, then I will invite them to the race. You can send a friend invite ANY TIME, then when I log on and get the race set up, I will invite everybody. I will be on Thursday starting around 530pm, which will give everyone time to practice and set up their cars or do whatever they need to do so we can get racing at 6pm.

again, my gamer tag is...

Cool idea... I'll make one today. I'm also going to put my "Prime" name up top. The numbers were just handed out in order of people who replied... so feel free to put whatever you would like. I'll be going with #11. I will also be putting a large one on the roof (even though it's a targa) :biggrin:

can you enable a locked race with a password? like pgr?

I'm going to go on in a few minutes here and figure it out. There should be a way to do that, but I wasn't able to figure it out last night. If I come up with something, I will post it here, otherwise we will just stick to the plan asnoted above!

Bob


On a side note...

not everyone has unlocked the NSX-R yet... so I am going to change the parameters to allow ANY HONDA (to allow regular NSX's), but I hope I feel the same as everyone else when I say that I would prefer everybody stick to NSX's
 
That was fun. You guys are going to make some fine Nascar drivers some day.

Good thing Fluffey wasn't there, he seems to be the Forza god from reading his career score. Must be the TV :biggrin:
 
Indeed had a good time racing and yeah we could be some awsome Nascar racers hehe ;)

That was fun guys. That 10 lap race at Nissan Speedway got old though, especially after I could only go 6mph :D
I really liked when we all did the Elise. Probably because it is the only race I won :D Only because I avoided the epic crash in the first corner :)
 
Yeah... good tims were had by all. I think Raven kicked our asses though. I just couldn't seem to be able to keep my car on the track. I'm usually alot better than that. That Buick was INSANE!!! :eek: :eek: I'll have to look into that. No way a Buick should be able to beat a CGT? :confused: Shall we plan for next Thursday again?

Hey Guys,

Didn't make it last night, don't know if anyone did, but I had a thought. Since the "Spec Race Series" uses the same cars, we could do a challenge in that series to see who the "BEST" "Drivers" really are since it would all be determined by driver skill? Since many of us are on each others friends lists, go to the series, go to a race, click the blue button until the Friends list pops up and see how you rate. I re-ran the Porche 914 and the Ford Focus races to see how well I could do. I think I got a 614 or something. Something to do when your bored. Let the trash talking and smack down begin!


Ozzie John,

What race did you score that #1 rating on???
 
Nah nothing happened last Thursday night I was on but no one was playing Forza2. Either way I like that idea I could try it out one of these days during the week. And to start the trash talking..I"m taking you down GRANDMA!! lol j/k
 
Count me in too! I'm game for Halo3, FM2, Gears of War, and NFS. On a related note, can't wait till I get Ace Combat 6

I think the time zones are making it tough for me to find you guys online.

Therefore I propose a time trial challenge by correspondence!

The Suzuka West Time Trial in the Arcade Mode section of the game uses the JGTC NSX.

I just did a few laps and my best time was 1:13.35.

Can anyone beat that?

< 600hp Semi Pro career series. I expect I have been well and truly knocked off my pedestal by now.
 
I dont have Forza 2, but does anyone have PGR4? it is pretty sweet, but much more arcade than simlulator.

Ohhhh!!!! I beat you lol. Okay guys the new time to beat is 1:12:294 and I did that in my 5th lap around with no assists. The trash talking has now commenced. Now its my turn to say....

Can anyone beat that? :D
 
1:12.07 !!

No assists at all?? That is very impressive. TCS is my friend, I can't seem to resist mashing it just a bit too hard out of the slow corners, and then the freaking boost kicks in and I'm signing up John Deere as my new sponsors.
