FM5 Touge Union spec Grand-Prix

I would probably do a race once per month, as it would give me time to prepare a suitable build for each car; and then give everyone the chance to qualify for the races. I can work the race dates around ACRL, as long as I have notice of the dates you need to be available for that one.

Sounds good to me. Im in for FM4

When is this happening

I've just gotten an Xbox One and FH2 so haven't had time to run Forza 4.

Will be after the 6th of january sometime. Still working on the e30 for the first fm4 race at the moment. The fm5 race, i am not too sure.

I am having a few "issues" with the E30, but only with it wanting to roll over as soon as it touches any kurbing what so ever. It is quite an annoyance, as I can normally get that certain FM4 behaviour tuned out. I will be giving it another go in a day or so, but if I still have the same issue; I may swap the E30 out for something else. I will still use the E30 in one of the races however, but on a track like Tsukuba. Baring the roll over issue however, the car handles really well.

How about the Mercedes 190E Evo?

What should work well on the ring, I will have a look an see when I get back on FM4 again. I believe that is (or once) was an LB car for Bclass, so with the right track focused build, it should be a good one. Not to mention it already has adjustable aero if I remember.

So it is now the 6th of January, so who ultimately is interested in doing this on FM4?

I'd be interested, what time is it?

Well it wont be today, but I do want to start it this month. The race date will be set on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday; probably at night in the uk time cause of the time difference. I will have the car and tune up later today/tomorrow all going to plan. And I will give everyone till at least the 23rd of this month to practice and set qualifying times on the Nurb GP. Then going forward, each race will be once per month.

I'm definitely in.

OK. What's the spec car on 4?

Side note: Finally got.used to the GT86 tune you gave me. I can still feel understeer in it.

Your still going into the corners too hot then, or you are accelerating before the apex.

I would say it's the latter.

I'm in.

I've just jump onto FM5, so if you hop on I will have a quick run with you.

Give me about 10-15 minutes if you wouldn't mind.

Online now.

Pardon the abrupt departure. My mother came upstairs and started yelling at me.

Obelisk, from what I can see from that single run we did; your driving line is way off. I was hoping to have 2 or 3 runs with you, as then I could really see what was what with your driving. You was also turning in too late with a lot of the corners, and unbalancing your car while braking. If you drive manual w/clutch, then you also need to blip the throttle while down shifting. I saved the replay, so I will look it over as well.

As far as I can tell, I was trying to throw the car into.the turn like I do on GT6...I guess the turn-in response in Forza isn't like GT6 at all.

Forza 5 penalises you for poor driving, as the physics got a major upgrade from FM4. The key to getting fast in it, is to be as smooth as possible with all your inputs. The same is true of FM4 also. FM5 is also closer to that of some of the PC sims now, and has gotten pretty good at simulating weight transfer, sudden loss of tire grip, lift off oversteer, throttle on oversteer, understeer, and torque steer.

Back when I had my TX wheel, Forza felt far closer to Assetto Corsa in the same car (F458), with much of the same quirks while driving fast. Assetto Corsa I would say though, is far better simulation wise. Either way, I can help you get better with FM5 if you like? But I will warn you now, it will involve driving some cars 100% stock, and I will be encouraging you to let the back end slip out in the process. Mainly because it is such a good way to learn throttle and steering control.

I'll take you up on that, but it'll have to be scheduled for later hours for me, since I'm supposed to be busy all day every day this week.

Was your mic on by the way? I have issues with my Xbox One mic from time to time.

I'd like to join when this happens but I could only join if its on a saturday
