[FM5] M3 at SPA - [Finished]

1991 BMW M3

B-Class

*Must use full aero

Simulation Damage

SPA - 15 Laps

Saturday, 1/11/2014 - 5PM EST

I realize this is short notice, but I am free on Saturday and I would like to run some multiplayer races without having to deal with the public lobbies.

Anybody interested?

If so, please respond with your gamertag.

Also, if anybody has suggestions on my settings, I am open to other options.

I am also looking for somebody to volunteer to host the race. I am uncertain about my hosting abilities because when I set-up a Private lobby and race against AI, I sometimes lose connection to the session. I will certainly host, but I would hate to have it crash half way through the race. I have no issues with online connection(so far) when running in public lobbies.

It looks like I am in need of more practice / tuning. 2 seconds slower per lap will put me pretty far back in a 15 lap Spa race.

I will be on later tonight if anybody wants to run some practice laps.

I will be able to make it if there is a spot available.

My goal will be to not get lapped ;)

Fogive me for asking this potentially dumb question but I am a novice at some of this.  What is the "Must use full aero" mean?  Does that pertain to the car settings/upgrades?

Just have fun man...nothing like the pressure and fun of racing.....To answer your question "Full ero" is in the upgrade section...you have to put the adjustable front/rear areo on it....The Forza spoilers

Thanks for setting up the race Trexx.

I must admitt though, when joining 2old2play, I was hoping to find folks who were old and slow like me. :)  None the less, learned alot and I did not get lapped!

Thanks to all for participating.

We had 6 people total racing. Everybody raced clean and I had fun. I will try and set up another race soon.  I beleive somebody recorded the race, but I can't remember who.
