Here we are with the first official Forza 3 Championship held by members of theBRM.co.uk. There are places for up to 8 entrants and they will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.

I intend to run the races on a Wednesday night at around 9:00pm, as long as there aren't too many objections to that time. By setting a dedicated time and place we all know where to be and when!

The championship is open to any car, but there are some limitations, the car must be:

Class A
PI of no more than 520
Have team racing colours

Some rules:

There aren't any, this is a race, if you get punted off the track then tough......but.....damage will be on Simulation, so rear-ending someone into a corner will probably put you both out of the race.

Suggested race line will be OFF
Autobrake will be OFF
STM will be OFF
TCS will be OFF

Probably stick to a 10 lap race so that it doesn't go on for hours, but I may change this depending upon peoples thoughts of the first few races.

Anyone can practice at any time, in fact I want people to get to know each others driving styles so it would be better if you could practice with each other when you're online.

I'll start a list of entrants, so please put down your:

name - username on the site - xbox gamertag

1. Adam - Adam - Nasty Man 99
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.

Copy and paste this list so we know who's in.

First practice race will be Wednesday 19th, 9:00pm, Silverstone Grand Prix circuit!

Let the best 'online' driver win! :beer2:

Done some tuning and down to 2.12 (just over) now.

The way I do it is to pick a base colour and decide on a graphic scheme. On the Leon, the BRM 'roundels' were quite hard and I made them up from lots of different layers and then saved the finished product as a custom logo. Mostly it's just trial and error.

The chequers for example, I laid the first one on then copied and pasted that layer (turning around if neccesary to make them go at a different angle) and moved them into position, zoom in and out to get them right.

If you want a logo going over the side/front/bonnet for example, I laid the logo on each part, had to resize to make them look right and laid them so the lines match up.

It just takes a lot of time really.

This is the reason for keeping the damage on simulation. Swapping some paint is fair enough, but remember, using another car as a handbrake will only result in your own car being damaged and make it very hard to drive.

Methinks I might be at a disadvantage being FWD! I'm still using my controller though for the first few races until I've had more practice with the wheel/pedals (and found a decent way to stop the pedals sliding away from me under heavy braking).

I'm running an RWD monster...managed a 2.01 last night with the braking line on...shot up to 2.04 without it. Mind you, I don't run any of the other assists so my car squeals off the line, slides through the turns and just falls to pieces around these AWD folk hehe.

Also, I don't mind taking photos from the saved replays. Mark's seen a couple that I took from when he first raced against me. Seem to enjoy the photography in the game.

Took me a while to figure it out. You have to upload your pics to the storefront, then log into Forza's website using your xbox live login, and you can download your pics. I then uploaded to photobucket. There is probably an easier way, but I don't know it :slap:

MikeSDN2008

Once the race is over, you'll get a screen saying "continue" and "save replay", before you go back to the lobby. If you save the replay, you can find it again under "My Profile" and then "My Replays" at the main career mode screen. Easy as that. Also, I had a 206 before I decided on the Firebird, good to drive but lacking top end power, managed to get mine to 356bhp with the AWD conversion. Still lacking around 150bhp compared to the Audi's, but I'm hoping the fact my car's nippy in the turns is going to help me tonight lol.

There's no such thing as the "wrong" car if you think about it. Leon's are quick through the turns and have a lot of punch for a fairly small car. Audi's are big and powerful, but also heavy, imparing the handling. Pontiacs are just a handful however you look at it. Simply put, one car's strength is another car's weakness. You'll be fine. :clap:

What you could do to try and make it more interesting is include additional rules, besides the ones already set forth. You could make it so cars must be either front or rear wheel drive so no-one goes belting off at the start and stays ahead (like the S5's lol). Also, having a pre-set list of cars to choose from usually helps in making the competition more...fair in a way. It's just a way of keeping tabs on what people use, so no super-saloons or toned down hypercars creep onto the grid. Just a thought :idea:.

1) The disc tray should still open, it worked when my old xbox got the RROD.
2) Some games offer the choice to burn to the hard drive. I'd advise against it as the loading times get longer if you don't run it off the disc.

I think the idea of similar cars and BHP etc is a good idea otherwise cars like the S5 have a distinct advantage. DTM or Aussie Supercars are always fun?
Perhaps even nominate a specific car for a specific challenge: like an SL65 or MX5 only race?

P6 Chooses wheel of drive.

Or any other type/form of options want to chuck in - just to keep it interesting for those at the back:clap:

Too bad they don't have any other cars from Holden, like them sport truck things, we could've done the V8 Ute's. Still, the truck racing sounds like a good idea. Maybe do like a super-truck series with the Saleen. Twingo Tag sounds fun, and is as I've done it before. What about racing the old bangers like the DB5 and E-type Jag?

How dare you call those classics "bangers"!!!!!!
I did enjoy smashing up my 250GTO though.

Right, thinking of going along the lines of having the main championship races as a DTM style event, big saloons, big spoilers, etc. Need to sort out a power limit so that everyone has a fairer chance.

Then thinking of some sub-championships or maybe a second race for each event, a special event race as it were. Classes for this will probably be:

SUV's & Pickups
Classics
American Muscle
Dinky toy cars

I had an idea last night for something that could be fun, built the car today.

Renault Clio RS 197 - B500 PI. "Piddly's Revenge!"

Upgrades:
Race Air Filter
Race Exhaust
Race Valves
Race Displacement
Race Flywheel

Race Brakes
Sports Suspension
Sport Front Rollbars
Sport Rear Rollbars
Race Rollcage

Race Clutch
Race Transmission
Race Driveline
Race Differential

Sports Tyres
Max front tyre width
Max rear tyre width
Konig Daylite Rims
Stock Wheel size (front and rear)

No Aero
No Conversions.

Paint can be anything so long as your runing number is clearly visible on each door, the "Renault Sport" numberplates on the front and rear numberplate recesses (available from my storefront for free), and your windows are NOT tinted.

If done right the car should have a PI of 500, with 288bhp and 231 lb-ft of torque. Due to the nature of the tune, the only things that can be adjusted are gear ratios, brake pressure, tyre pressure and the Diff settings. The car itself is easy and fun to drive, packs quite a punch and handles relatively well. Also because there's not alot you can tune, the race would boil down to driver skill alone in most cases. It's jst an idea that I was toying with last night and this morning, what do you think?

Not a bad idea Mike, a Clio Cup race essentially.

MikeSDN2008

Just thought it'd be something for everyone as the cars don't need much tuning. Saw a similar thing done with BMW M3 E36's, the finishes were so close, plenty of contact as well.

I like that it takes away the hours of decisions! :laugh:

I'm also feeling the second race idea, that'd give us at least an hour or so racing?

Yeah, should be a good crack that way. I'm not about many evenings this week, so may have to make the practice Thursday?

On another note, I've made an awesomely cool Dodge Ram with a great colour scheme, but it's still a WIP.

I think Thursday works for me - last week was manic as I had three assignments to do but they're out of the way now - plus the missus has a couple of cakes to make this week so I can steal the TV while she's being creative in the kitchen. :D

Haha, good man. If I get some time between now and then, i'll detail out the specs for the Championship and the mini-series' so that we can all get our cars in order.

I'll be kicking around sometime this evening if anyone wants to give the Clio's a spin. Note this has nothing to do with the BRM Championship, I just thought it'd make a nice bit of fun.

You at 520 are you mate? - i'm at 526 mine (just brought) doing some painting now!

Lol, the BRM championship is the one where your cars should be at 520, Clio's are around 500, top end of B class. If you scout back a couple of pages, there's a full guideline I posted on the upgrades for the car. Minimal tuning is needed and makes for some good racing.

EDIT: I should probably start this as a separate thread so as not to get people confused with the actual championship.

That works lol. Turns out those Clio's are faster than the low-end A class cars such as the R8 and the F355C.

That's because I haven't put it on my storefront yet lol. If you go onto "Storefront", then "Browse/Search Vinyl Groups", and do a manual keyword search for "Renault Sport", then look for a black and white numberplate made by me (MikeSDN2008). Simples.

You can buy an official wireless headset but i think they're prob around the same price as a controller would be - I'm not sure if you can get unofficial ones for cheaper??
