(FSCC) Forza Sports Car Challenge (B600 Class, Sundays at 10pm UK, Forza 5)

My top cars at the moment include the following in this order after extended testing at Nurb GP
1st Honda S2000
2nd Subaru BRZ
3rd Toyota GT86
4th Renault Clio Sport V6
5th BMW 1 Series M Coupe
6th Holden HSV GTS
7th Mercedes SLK55 AMG

I would safely say that with the right tune, build and driver, as well as an extended amount of time spent driving, seven of the cars eligible can likely hot lap the Nurburgring GP Circuit in the 2 minutes 14 seconds range. Ill even go out on a limb and say the top 3 can maybe get 13s… If any of you guys come across any other cars you find are competitive for this series and its regulations, please do not hesitate to post your findings here. The more information we can provide to Tom, the easier it will be for him to make this series as enjoyable for all of us as possible!

Hey Maynard, was hoping someone was going to start up the old series again

Hey man, Great so hear from one of the old FSCC guys. What actually happened in the end? I wasn’t around for the 3rd season on Forza 4 and the website isn’t about anymore. If the day/time works for you, It’d be great to have you as part of the series!

No idea what happened, the website disappeared and no one heard from tweaker and then everyone started doing other things like iracing

Oh I see, Well that sucks. Hopefully I can get it back to what it was, And hopefully bigger with Forza 5. I shot over a friend request btw!

Forza 5 will make it much better! and alright!

So like the other seasons it will be my brother and I, If one of us cant make a race the other will fill in and we will rotate lol

Number 4 please. You have a PM too

Already replied. :wink: I’ll add your number to the entry list now. :slight_smile:

Alright mate, That sounds good to me! Added you to the confirmed entries list. :slight_smile:

The Genesis Coupe and 350Z are both quality cars. Should do well in the series. Haven’t tried the RX8 yet.

I love the genesis and after driving it so much of got it perfectly tuned but my brother said he hates the sound of them because its a V6

But the 350Z is a V6 as well haha. And the Mazda is even worse being a Rotary.

Ran some more cars around Nurburgring GP -

Hyundai Gensis Coupe 3.8 Track - 2:14.350 (Fastest car so far)
Nissan Fairlady Z - 2:14.920
Nissan 370Z - 2:15.084

Complete list for those that missed the post on page 1 -

Hyundai Gensis Coupe 3.8 Track - 2:14.350
Subaru BRZ - 2:14.556
Renault Clio V6 - 2:14.827
Nissan Fairlady Z - 2:14.920
Nissan 370Z - 2:15.084
Holden HSV GTS - 2:15.201
Honda S2000 - 2:15.301
Dodge SRT4 ACR - 2:15.769
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo.8 MR - 2:16.354

I like the rule changes as to grid order. As to cars, I don’t mind either way, because I can tune a new ride in a few hours. I completely retuned and rebuilt my GT86 for this series in about an hour (mine ran the GReddy front bumper and rear spoiler, had to account for the Aero requirement). For reference, my backup ride is the 1M Coupe, and I know for a fact that in testing both the GT86 and 1M are capable of sub 2:13.xxx laps around 'Ring GP. The S2000 was my first choice since even without aero mine sets blistering lap times, but I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t the only one running that car just in case it was TOO fast.

All the lap times I’ve posted have been set without tuning the cars. So I’d say all the cars I’ve run 14/low 15’s in would be capable of 13’s around Nurb. :slight_smile:

put us down for the Genesis maynard!

•Car choice: BMW 1M or Honda NSX R I’m still testing both within the guidlines set out but it will defo be one of those. Please let me know if either don’t meet the rules or if I need to make the choice now!

Also, I’m struggling to get the Union Jack on the roof of the car. I can’t find flags anywhere when making the livery. Probably me being a total noob with regards designs etc. I’ve got the numbers on my cars, I’ve got everything except my nationality and my name. Any tips would be great. I’ve also friend requested Maynard S4 last night. Look forward to this!

I tuned a 350z last night but it got spanked by both the 1M and the NSX when I was testing them so I’ve disregarded it. I mustn’t have tuned it very well then lol. Now getting worried that I’m going to get left behind. Time for some Nurburg GP lap times to see if I come anywhere near the 2.14 mark haha!
