It’s time for the 11th season of our Forza Motorsport 4 Series. Again, the goal is to have the feel of serious racing league while being able to let those who just want to have fun be able to compete. The season will consist of 16 races over the course of six weeks. Races will be held once a week with three races a night (with the exception of the end of-season Le Mans race). Each night should last between 1-2 hours.

The car
Is a BMW 635 and will be gifted out to people when they sign up. Please do not alter the build!
In terms of liveries, anything goes as long as you display your racing number in the numbercard supplied. Also, please do not alter the placement of the Dunlop logos, although you may change the colour of them, if you wish.
Feel free to create custom designs or replicas of your favourite design – I look forward to seeing some wonderfully painted cars. The only rule is that for this series, the liveries have to be period liveries - so lurid green Monster paintjobs, please. If you want any help with this, please contact me.
Schedule
The format of the evening is as follows (all times approx. and BST)
8.55pm – Lobby is made and invites are sent to all online players.
9pm – Race One. The grid order will be randomised. It should last 10-15 minutes and the results of this race will determine the grid for the second race.
9.15pm – Race Two – Same as race one except that the results won’t form the grid for the next race.
9.35pm – Race Three – There will be a reverse grid based on the results of the previous two races.
NB: Damage will be set to ‘limited’ to discourage deliberate manoeuvres. If you are unable to make the first race or second race(s) of the evening, you will be welcome to join us for the remaining races, but you will be placed at the back of the grid.

Prizes
Points mean prizes, right?
So the winner of the championship will get 10mil credits, the runner up 7.5mil and third place will get a cool 5mil.
I’m also happy to put a prize of 5mil for the best livery, and award 5mil to competitors that compete in every race.
If there’s the interest, I’d be happy to fund a £5 Amazon voucher for the winner too…
