YOU GET A CAR!

And no one answered my question from yesterday. I saw there was a different livery for each week of the open. Can we win all three?? So that would be 4 livery cars, 1 for elite and 3 for open right?

[Shaggy_SoCal]

There are two more weekly ForzaRC qualifiers. Formula Ford at Catalunya and Ford GTLM at The Glen so you can earn three unico…err…I mean Exclusive cars from the Elite rivals.

Speaking of which, if you want to get a head start on the next two #ForzaRC Elite Rivals Qualifiers I set times at Catalunya and Watkins Glen in the S and R Class Rival Events. They’re not perfect laps, but they’re fairly quick. I figure the top 128 will be a few seconds quicker.

Formula Ford - S Class - Catalunya GP - 01:53.609
#66 Ford GTLM - R Class - Watkins Glen Full - 01:47.243

Catch me if you can.

Thanks, sounds great. Oh, so what you are saying you can win six livery cars? 3 from Elite and 3 from Open? I only seen the open had a different livery each week.

From last paragrqaph that explains the Elite Series qualifying and tournament format…emphasis mine.

News - Forza

In addition to a chance to win a brand new car, each week’s top four registered finishers in the ForzaRC Elite Series will also win amazing prizes from Xbox, Microsoft, and our partners at Logitech. These weekly prizes include Xbox One S consoles, Xbox Elite controllers, Logitech wheels, and more. As an added bonus, everyone who posts a time in the weekly ForzaRC Rivals qualifier will be sent a special bonus car – the 1973 Ford Escort 1600. This special bonus car will feature a new ForzaRC-themed livery that will change per week, and the only place you’ll be able to win these cars is through the ForzaRC.

Cool. I guess I will be racing every week. Can’t wait to get them. Thanks.

[Pedro_Lopez_253]

Have I missed the chance to get the RS1600?
I went to the rivals event today and saw that it had expired…will it be on again next week? I’ve been on the news page and have read this forum but still can’t understand the times.
I didn’t get to see the event until today and if I have actually missed the RS1600 I will not be a happy camper at all.

[Shaggy_SoCal]

The Rivals Qualifier for this week has closed. You will have two more opportunities to earn the RS1600. The next ForzaRC Qualifier rivals event will be open from August 15-18 with the Formula Ford at Catalunya.

[v_The_Haunted_v]

Sorry for the stupid question but…

I have registered at ESL successfully. I just don’t know where to go in Multiplayer to make sure I’m racing in the right races. Could anyone provide some insight?

Thanks

Elite Cup Series Rules Update 8/12
http://play.eslgaming.com/forza/xbox/news/266853/

Tomorrow the Forza Racing Championship Season 1 Elite Cup #1 is starting at 8pm CEST / 11am PDT and today we want to inform you about the latest updates of the rule book. Especially about the track behaviour and the consequences if you driving in an unfair way.

Rules Update
3.1.5. Track behaviour
As the ForzaRC is a serious racing championship, on track behaviour has to be in line with the sportsman-like behaviour and appropriate clean racing. Therefore we will punish following behaviour but not only limited to:

Purposely crashing and corner-cutting, vulgarity in game chat, attempting to cause disruptions to your own benefit in online lobbies, etc.
2 wheels have to remain in between the white lines defining the track. Curbs are NOT part of the track, so 2 wheels have to be on the tarmac at every time. This does not apply to situations in which it happens occasionally but as soon as this is your racing line or you get a advantage with doing it, it can be penalized.
You are allowed to block a line in front of a corner once, plus getting back to your racing line. Zigzag style is not allowed

That behaviour can lead to disqualification or other penalties, depending on the situation.

3.1.6. Hosting order for the Elite Cups
Race 1: The player who is higher in the rivals leaderboard hosts the match
Race 2: The other player is hosting
Race 3: The player who is higher in the rivals leaderboard hosts the match

3.2.1.1. Track order
Week 1 (Best of 3):
Track 1: Nürburgring GP
Track 2: Catalunya GP
Track 3: Watkins Glen

Participants of the Elite Cup #1
The Top 128 of the leaderboard will be added later today to the tournament and then we will send out mails and private messages on ESL Play to all with more details on the tournament.

Note: All rounds should be play as soon as possible to avoid any bigger delays.

One important note for the Week 1 ForzaRC Cup and Showdown events: As I mentioned earlier in the week on the Forza forums, due to community feedback on the Week 1 Rivals qualifier, we will be replacing Monza with the Nürburgring GP track for this weekend’s events. Also we will be using track limits as defined in the game for the upcoming ForzaRC Rivals qualifiers.

Sunday August 14 Elite Showdown

Watch the #ForzaRC Elite Week 1 Series Showdown Sunday live on Twitch starting at 11am PDT. Twitch

Is the Mustang the mandatory car? What about in game rules during hosting? Driving aids, race-line etc?

Hi guys,

1. I’m not sure. But to get the Ford RS 1600 I just need to drive a lap in Rival mode from Forza RC league?

2. To get the Ford Flacon I need also just one lap in the open League from the Forza RC?

I hope I understand it wright.

Thanks a lot.

I’ve edited this thread to include the reference to the rules stating the that Open prize DLC is going to the top 50% registered players. Apologies if my lack of that description mislead anyone on trying to calculate their position, but if ESL is actually using a subset of the full leaderboard then it would be impossible to tell by looking at it where you’re really ranked; more unregistered players above you would move your rank in the prize pool higher while more unregistered players below you would reduce your rank relative to the other registered players. The winners list and calculation is entirely in the hands of the rulemakers.

Thanks for all the time you have spent putting this FAQ together, and for making this correction I can tell you fully understand the situation.

I’m almost certain they will be using a subset, as this example demonstrates. Say there are 10 players that took part in the league, and four are registered with ESL and these are their final positions:

1. Registered
2. Registered
3. Registered
4. Registered
5. Not Registered
6. Not Registered
7. Not Registered
8. Not Registered
9. Not Registered
10. Not Registered

I doubt they intend to give 100% of registered ESL Open Series players the DLC because they finished in the top 50%. So for this example, only players 1 and 2 (top 20%) will get the DLC.

It’s not impossible to tell where you are really ranked, as ESL list everyone who is registered. So you can take that list and compare to your league leaderboard. It will take a bit of work, but it is not impossible. Me, I would rather spend my time racing, and get into the top 10% which should be sufficient.

now this is really confusing on the ESL site it says im seeded number 2674 out of 3504 seeds but when the first league was finished Turn 10 sent reward credits for Finishing number 178 out of 2695 so if we use turn 10 im well within the top 50% but if we use ESL im way out of the top 50% so if we use that logic i lost out of earning the DLC prize for this week i truly hope thats not the case but if it is how will you be able to improve your seeding on the ESL site?
