Hey, how is everyone doing? My first time posting in the forums…
So I’ve just recently started playing Forza 5’s online races, and I have noticed some people cutting the track on Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit…
Notice that the Green Line is how the track is meant to be driven, some people who race online drives on the red line instead of the green line…(Please excuse my poor Paint skills). It can get irritating sometimes when you are in first and all of the sudden you drop to 4th place because the 3 people behind you took the “shortcut”… It gets rather annoying losing because of this, but I don’t want to do the same thing because I don’t want to be one of those people, and I also don’t want to bump them for warnings because that also makes me look bad racer… How would you guys approach this? Just race clean and leave them alone and try and beat them the clean way?
Race clean and do the best you can. Anyone who cuts you can block so you shouldn’t come across them again.
Send and email with your map and description to forzafb@microsoft.com. Don’t expect anything other than and autoreply (or 3) - it will get seen but you probably won’t get an individual response but it will be brought to T10’s attention to be remedied in a patch down the track if they can/want.
I have noticed that a lot too. I decided to go into Free Roam and run some hot laps to see if it helped my time or not. With slower cars, it makes it to where you don’t have any speed going down that straight-a-way after Turn 5 and decreased my time by about half a second, but with faster cars it increased my average time by almost a second. I noticed someone doing it in a Veloctor and they completely lost any speed and we all ended up passing him up again later on, but someone else eventually did it again in a 'Vette and ended up far ahead of us until someone deemed it their responsibility to wipe him out for doing it. This was all in Multi-Class racing (A,B,C,S)
I made that cut by accident once during one of the few times I raced online in a C500 car. Lost control and couldn’t slow the car for the corner so I plowed right through and luckily wound up not hitting a wall. It didn’t seem like it make me any faster or slower, but I thought it was probably slower. Certainly not something I’d do intentionally but it’s interesting, I didn’t think it could be a time saver.
Don’t forget Yas Marina tracks…
And Spa has the same problem. They all need a few patches done to them to make them better to race on for MP. In the meantime, just race clean and again, block those players you know are cutting the corners. It’s a different matter though if they are forced off, but more times than not, it’s not the case.
I just let that ride and in my head it doesn’t count. If that’s how you have to win it’s not winning. I have xx,000,000cr and they just robbed me of 2,000 more than I’d normally get. I’ll get over it.
Yas Marina is the worst, spa is pretty bad for it too.
