Forza Spec Miata series

[Redraceface]

I'm officially launching a Spec Miata Fantasy Racing league on Xbox live... any one who has Xbox Live and Forza 3, and would like to participate contact me for more Info... I'm still working on the schedule of events, and other types of racing, but for now it will just bespec miata... If you've ever played fantasy football it kind of like that.

[simontibbett]

I'd be down, I still haven't gotten Live yet though.

[Redraceface]

get on it, I do need a few people to help organize the tournament.

[Redraceface]

Is there no other interest in this except for Simon???

[Spark!Plug]

id be in if i didnt have to spend 100 bucks on the wireless antenna thing for xbox360.. then a subscription.. bleh.

[simontibbett]

I can help organize it, but yeah, where are the people!? Sounds like fun to me.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Don't have Forza3, no longer have Live, and need to spend money elsewhere. That prohibits the fun.

[johnw]

I'm interested and might have a couple of friends also.

B spec is pretty high for a Miata isn't it?

YES!! John right on!!! lets hook it up, we'll need to have some way of communicating with one another and thats why I asked to use the forum so we'll use it, maybe jack would let us start a forum Forza league... Simon can I get your contact info so we can go over the rules and plan a season?

This is what Me and a Friend came up with we thought this would make things a little faster and more fun consitering that when you play Forza the slow cars can be quite frustrating, let me know what you think...

I actually like the slower cars for some reason, much higher than B and I start to lose interest. it's your idea, so I'm pretty much down for whatever... I like the class cap idea, but I'm really into building your own car. the leagues I played in on Forza 2 had a car and class limit, you just built it how ever you saw fit. that seemed to work well, but you would need to restrict it to one car. not have a higher HP car for the big tracks and grip car for the short stuff.

Yes Yes, I thought of that too, and the idea was to make it to where you could race NA's, and NB's in the same race and still have fun with out the NA's running away from every one. Instead of every one driving different cars under a P.I. (class) limit, and what you said illustrates exactly why I abandoned that Idea.

Got it I'll look you up later. Look for JustinStand21 friending you.

Gamer Tag is
(Darkbradshadow) << got kinda stiffed on the Xbox live name

[LagunaRoadster]

I'm only online at weird hours, so I dont know how that would work with a spec thing??

Here's my gamertag: HighDecepticon

[darknessprevails]

Made my spec miata today

[morningscifi]

in the process of building / painting now =)

[morningscifi]

FYI, i'm running an NA with the specs provided and i'm not too far off of the times for the cars in real life on Road Atlanta. so i think you've got the right setup for such a race.

[morningscifi]

also, there's certainly some interest outside of us: http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/forums/thread/3159266.aspx

[Redraceface]

Ok I've been a little sick lately so I've not been on the game the past few days however I'll look all you guys up that have provided Gamer tags later and Hopefully finish the calender... Oh make sure you assign your self a number and make it visible to others on the track, so we at some time can keep up with points and id who you are on the track, My number is 55 and Chad's is 56.

[Redraceface]

One more thing that I forgot that will help with the scheduling of events, if you guys would give me an idea of the times that you would be available to race; that would make it easier for me to set up event for as many drivers as possible to participate.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Damn it, I want this game.

[RotorNutFD3S]

ClubRoadster is starting a Spec series as well.

Ok I think we need to pass legislation to get Jack Forza 3

[Redraceface]

Let's have a few preliminary races this evening at 8:00 pm what cha think... Oh I need gamer tag info.

[johnw]

if I'm at home, I'll should be online.

[morningscifi]

any rules on the livery besides clear numbering? Also, I'm taking '35.'

[Redraceface]

I'm sure once we start and fights ensue over dumb **** we may have to institute rules about things but for now just clame your number on the forum. We'll be starting this week at 8:30 P.M. tuesday the 10th the event will be held at road atlanta (it's only fitting sense we are near RA) and will include three sprint races 10 laps each, however if the number of drivers is small perhaps we can amend the lap count... If this time does not work for you let me or Simon Tibbit know, and we'll work it out.

[Redraceface]

R3 class run = flips allways good

[Redraceface]

[mustangtomiata]

i like that 3 actually allows rolls. the game was already rented out down here :( shotgun 42?

[simontibbett]

If you all want to setup a free site, I can do that, I am willing to have a page with the schedule, results, car numbers, etc. Car pics too. Just let me know and I will set it ALL up.

My car is built! What is the schedule?

[simontibbett]

BTW what lap times are you guys running at Road Atlanta in these? I am doing some "testing" today lol.

[simontibbett]

Oh and I want number 7 if it's not taken.

Ran a 1:40.565 at Road Atlanta, I have the NA. All the mods listed in the "rules"

[darknessprevails]

i think we had some 1:41-1:46 lap times last night

[i-Track]

I made the setup above minus 205's and was 1:44.XXX almost every lap. I think with 205's and a little setup I could beat the real SM track record 1:42.xxx

[simontibbett]

Beat my 1:40 son.

[i-Track]

Make another SM with my setup and see what you can do.

IMO, if your gonna make a SM class at least make it like the one IRL

[darknessprevails]

we all know you cheated@!!!!
on another note i really need to think about getting a wheel this year

[simontibbett]

Naw I will replicate it if need be lol.

No wheel, I use the controller, setup exactly as the rules say and no final tuning.

I'll build it to your way Matt and see what I run. EDIT just built it that way and am about to go test it. Spring rates set to spec, other settings at they are.

[simontibbett]

With that setup I ran a 1:40.237

[i-Track]

BTW, I call number 05 lulz

I tried to because it didn't say not to but you end up going over the class level mentioned.
