Racing online...

it’s a joke. I’ve never seen such poor sports. 8 different lobbies, kicked 8 different times after the race. I’m not sure why I got kicked so many times. I honestly think it was because I was running as fast as MOST of these folks, while they were running fully upgraded AND tuned cars per class. While I was running BONE-STOCK cars usually at the lower end of that class. I never wrecked anyone so that can’t be the reason for the boots. I only had 1 mishap, and that was the launch of the first race. My wife walked in front of me, then just stood there, guy rear-ended me. To make it even better, EVERY RACE, regardless of my starting position, I immediately pulled over and let EVERYONE pass and get at least 500 feet ahead of me figuring that I should be the slowest on the track. Wasn’t the case. I never took first, but I took 2nd a few times, and 3rd a couple times, only to be insta-kicked when I got back to the lobby EVERY TIME. I finally got in a room where most of the folks were cool and we started spec-racing, which is my favorite. Does this “kick-fest” happen to others here? And on an even crazier note…who wants to take a stab at this “Le Mans 360” race? I wanna try it in a stock 787 B.

I’m wracking my brain… what is a 787 B???

yup it happens the worst is wen u run into a lobby with multiple team members, if one of them has a problem wether is ur fault or not prepare to get booted. sucks more wen you get in a different lobby and then they join and get booted again…lol fml

Yea, some people on Forza just don’t like to be beaten at anything(drag racing is the worst) and it gets even worse when the people you beat start to remember your name because then you get kicked without even racing.

i know how you feel the amount of times someone tries to hit me as i go past them is crazy. when i first started i would never try to hit them, i’d ask for advice

Ok BCNR33GDZILLA I love the gamertag huge skyline fan here anyways yeah I get kicked after this one race yet this guy at the begining of the race prior to being kicked one guy was afk and caused a wreck yet after the race stays in the lobby oh but I pull out a nissan skyline gtr r34 at the beginning of the next race and get auto kicked

It depends on what class and track you used it on. If you pulled it out in something like R2 then I can see why, because ain’t no Datsun going to beat any of the proper race spec cars! Normally when people use rocket cars in those kind of lobbies they nearly always cause a stir at the start.

If it was S class then the R34 does actually hold some leaderboard times around Sunset and SOME people in lobbies take a dislike to using leaderboard cars in them, but it’s fine to use the next best thing ha!

Try racing in the Forza Le Mans hopper, is my preferred way to race online. If you can drive R class cars… Also one needs to understand the concept of multi-class racing. Along with stock car (and the crazy long endurance Le Mans playlist) Forza Le Mans is one of few “realistic racing” online hoppers, as in a replica of a real world auto racing series. There’s usually a lobby or two with a couple people of all skill levels. However there is AI, and they always run stock so can be slow and get in the way. (But can be helpful to race slower drivers) But for some reason they seem to be the most laggy players out there…

It seems to attract mostly clean players. And being true to a real world series, the cars are very balanced even when upgraded. Give it a try especially if you are a race fan.

The hopper mimics the American Le Mans series, now merged with Grand Am and known as the Tudor United Sports Car Championship (USCC)

Next race is the Monterey Grand Prix at Laguna Seca, a double header Sunday at 1pm and 5pm EST on Fox Sports 1 and IMSA.com
