Forza 4 Rallycross Series

Me and Drivebye are organising a Rallycross (RX) series on forza 4.  Drivebye has done a fantastic job so far of tuning the cars up to be more in the style of Rallycross.  For those of you who dont know what rallycross is, its basically a short fast race run with very fast rally style cars, in the National and European events, literally any car can go.  Each lap is on a variety of surfaces, Tarmac, mud, sand, chippings, through water, basically, think WRC only doing laps.  Sideways action encouraged, tracks arent  just between the white lines, and bumping (not ramming i may add) to gain an advantage is totally legal. (Tapping a back quarter to get past, yes.  Ramming someone off the track, deffinately not).  

Anyway, Drivebye has got the cars pretty much running sweetly, ive got a list of 11 short tracks which are all pretty much perfect so we are just starting running some laps and races getting a feel for it.  Last night we did our first runs and it was extremely fun.

 

Anyway, once the tunes are done, we will be posting up the builds and tunes, but the tunes will be locked except for things like diff and brakes.  We dont want people tuning them to be track cars and just making it a normal series.

 

Anyone interested in giving it a go and helping us iron out the bugs let me or drivebye know

Serious?

 

Having said that, i was trying to match up the fiesta/veloster/polo's too.

 

Any chance you could send me the tune to gander at?

Very good. I'm thinking tuning should be allowed within some guidelines.

Just don't want people to get discouraged because most of the settings would be locked. I will sort things out and post up for ya.

What's the strategy to overcome the lack of non-tarmac surfaces in F4?

Kris was considering holding this event in horizon to utilize the multi surface areas but lack of interest, tuning, and physics made us turn back to f4. All races will obviously be on all tarmac but the cars are built and tuned appropriately to get that rallycross feel.

and of course, overtaking whilst having all 4 wheels off the track could be amusing lol.

not sure yet Gunny.  Trying to find out where the region is coming from.  Dont want to set it to europe time if its mainly you guys interested or vice versa.

 

Chief, as long as we can get enough people then we'll deffinately run it.  Drivebye has done most of the work i may add so i gotta give massive kudos to him

It will be interesting. More so if we can get a decent amount of peeps in the lobbies.

Imagine a bunch of pissed off 600hp AWD monsters battling for position on small circuits. 18

The builds are almost done, I've bumped up the outputs to 600hp, in doing so I had to drop the Focus and replace it with the Audi S4, but here's the official car list for now.

2006 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX MR

2000 Audi S4

2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI

2002 Saab 9-3 Aero

2009 Volvo C30 R-Design

We need to start racing more and playing soccer less 8

Hopefully I'm able to get on tonight to try these out. Might not be until late though.
