If you have any suggestions, please add them to this thread. The day of the week and the start date will be finalised once everything else has been settled.
I look forward to racing with you guys again.

Not racing if running on drag tyres

Wings are all adjustable regardless of trim.  Stock wheels are several kilograms lighter than any in game wheel

Thanks for the input Dektra, I'll have a fiddle with it tomorrow night.

Might have to fire Forza up again, wouldn mind doing this series, albeit slowly but looks like a good one.

I'm keen, but please ditch the drag tires.

I'm interested, don't care too much about tyres - whatever results in the biggest field would be my preference.
Hard to commit to a series without knowing dates though - is this for the end of the MCM series?

Ok, I've had a look at dates, and we'll start on the tenth of March at 830 Melbourne time. This will give us a Tuesday after the muscle car series to do any last minute fiddling and sorting out lobbies, tiers etc.

Anyone care to share a time for one of these? (In the tier 2 class) any track, just want something to aim for while trying to tune. Thanks

Is there any specific number box or OZFM logo that I should have?

This might be a stupid question but is tuning allowed?

Tier2 upgrades stock tune. Cockpit view, brake line 1:45.9 at Bugatti.

Sorry I haven't been around much in the last few weeks.

I'll be running a practice session tonight for anyone who is interested. just add me to your friends list.

For tier qualification, if you could post up times around Long Beach in this thread by next Sunday night I'll sort out the rooms for Tuesday. Also could you post a photo of your car as well.

After a bit of consultation, we'll run stock tyres on all cars.

Hope to see you soon.

I dont know what happened in that session. Xbox glitched and lost sound. After a hard reset it couldnt connect to multiplayer. Anyway i did a few laps of long beach in the tier 2 setup managed a 1:23.8

Is this still happening tomoro night
