Some buddies and myself have been starting to run the GTLM cars and it is a blast. We have about 8 people in each race, and we are all fast and clean. That number is going up too!
The rules are with simulation damage, and we do 2 mandatory pit stops. If there is a wreck we caution up.
The maximum amount of drivers each week is 16. This is because that is the max allowed in a party chat, and once there are more, forza’s game chat is completely terrible and ruins the entire race.
The specs for the series:
Any GT car is allowed EXCEPT the aston martin and Nissan, and hurrican.
The BMW m3 is only allowed brake upgrades
The Porsche is allowed but it is slow lap-time wise.
Every other GT car (Ferraris, vette, viper, McLaren, Mercedes, lambo, whatever I am forgetting) is allowed full tire width and brakes. No engine upgrades allowed.
Races are sunday nights around 8 eastern time. We have a qualifying run and then the race is usually an hour or so. Everything has been done by 10 eastern each week.
Next week is at Yas Marina Full at night. If you would like to join, please respond to this thread or, preferably, message me over xbox live to the gamertag ‘dvetts10’
Ill post speeds when I hear what people are running.
This week we are at Road America! The new Porsche is allowed, although I heard it was not that fast. Send me a message if you would like to participate.
Absolutely fantastic race tonight at hockenheim. 35 laps, and the race was won out of the last corner! Next sunday is at spa, cmon everybody, come join its a blast
for sure dude add me on xbox, you will definitely improve if you tune/run a bunch of laps. Even in the race some guys improve over a second from their qualifying time.
Hi dvetts. I was wondering if you guys had an age limit/mic requirement to join the races. I’ve wanted to race with a clean group ever since I began multiplayer (some guys are very reckless), and I stumbled across you.
I’m 14 years of age, but I don’t have a mic, so I obviously can’t annoy you guys. If you guys are okay with me joining and adding you, I’ll begin practicing for Sebring.
Just in-case it doesn’t show (I’m on my email, the Xbox account is on my dad’s), my gamertag is: SpydrPig357
Hey, we do not care as long as you can act mature lol. The mic thing is a bit of an issue though, because you need to be able to hear us because we do cautions if there is an accident and you need to be able to hear everything. If you have a Kinect then you should be able to hear us crystal clear, but not sure what your situation is. Just let me know.
In other news, after practicing for a couple laps, seems the leaders will be able to run low 2.05s to high 2.04s at sebring.
Yeah, I’ve got the speakers so I can hear everything just fine, I don’t think there will be an issue there. I am just not able to communicate with anyone during the races. If that’s okay, then I’ll begin practicing and will hopefully be able to attend the race.
Race at Sebring tomorrow (4/3) at 8 pm eastern. Should be a very good lobby with fast and clean drivers. Will probably have at least 10. Let me know if you are interested.
I would be interested in racing with y’all Sunday nights. I’m not the fastest, but I’m clean. Gamer tag is my username on here. MrTechit. I’ll be on around 6:30 pm eastern tonight. I’m on most week nights also from 8 to 11.
I might have to pull out of this race. I’ve been trying with the 458 but I can’t seem to catch up to 2:05 on Sebring Full. I can only get close when I’ve got the engine upgraded and have a fast tune on. It is definitely not my favorite track nor is it a good one for me. I’ll keep trying w/out the engine upgrade and I’ll let you know within a few hours of the race.
At 4 o’clock EST w/ the McLaren, I’ve only managed a 2:07 lap.
(I’m not sure when this will be “posted” b/c it has to be looked at by a moderator, apparently. Sorry if it is posted late/after the race. I’ll message you on Xbox Live if that’s the case.)
