Race 8 Circuit De La Sarthe Full Circuit

the audi might have to pit three times?

Pit times will depend on the engine setup. Cars geared for higher Acceleration and larger bores use more petrol.

... the question is did forza render this? lol

that was definately one of the weirder races this season

This. Considering Gdubs Vette got better mileage than bimmers porsche, i doubt this 2 be true.

Also, just because a car uses more gas doesnt mean it will have a longer pit stop. O_o

The 'Vette may have the Final Gear Ratio cranked up for Speed for the longer stretches and done better for the MPG.

Congratulations to XBR N1GHTMARE on the Pole Position and following it up with a Win at LeMans

Congratulations to xXScienceXx for getting the HARD CHARGER AWARD Bonus Point for coming from 21st on the grid to a hard charging 9th place finish!

Great race guys. Next race marks the half way point to the season. Those points are close as we head towards some more great tracks and great racing!

That was a fun race with the two pit stops. Would love to see more races set up like that... *Hint-hint, nudge-nudge*

Have to agree once the Evora got setting in and I got more consistence it was a great race especially the last 3 laps with Razor

I would like to point out Pred that around lap 6-8 I went off the track at Tertre Rouge (corner before Mulsanne Straight) and stayed in the grass/dirt to allow the cars (3-4 of them) immediately behind me to pass without causing an incident and on lap 10 I did not receive the same courtesy from one of the races I let go by me and said driver pulled straight onto the racing line. It's very clear in the replay that I had no where to go but into the back of the other drivers car.

Will be reviewed. Thanks. Any penalties etc will be handed out by then.

I don't know how many times it can be mentioned not to pull right back on course if you will impede oncoming racers. Wait for it to be clear before returning to track.

lol trust us, Forza 3 is not that in depth, i think someone here in the series did a test and had someone hold in the clutch while someone pushed them around the benchmark oval... the guy with the clutch in was loosing gas just as fast as the guy pushing.... its based off distances,

or at least so i am told

if you don't believe these handed down words, you can always see for your self

il say it again

I must give props to ZED for one of the longest, closest, cleanest races I have had in a long time. We shared alot of those straights and corners, he gave me space and I returned the favor. Very rewarding.

Gas Mileage isn't based off of distance. Engine size plays a part as well I just don't know how large a part. A V8 will usually make it much farther than a V6 at the same PI if we are talking production cars.

When u say production, do u mean a car thats stock or a car that was ever a production car ((AKA our cars)

The only valid point about fuel when it comes to this game, is that Turn 10 did a horrible job with it... (Yes I am still bitter that engines twice the size as my porsche's were able to finish the race without running out of fuel at Sedone club)

And I am bitter that a DSG (Flappy paddle as some call it) gearbox is at a disadvantage in Forza when in all actuality is an advantage. But that's how T10 did it and it is what it is. (I don't wanna hear it...If it wasn't an advantage more and more teams would not be switching over to it even with the penalties they get for adding it)

Remember you are pushing the same horsepower with that V6 that others are pushing with a V8. It has to work harder than the V8 does thus greater fuel useage.

Considering my car doesn't have a V6, i'm going to view your statement as invalid lol... Chevy v8's at full throttle will get worse gas mileage than a porsche. The only argument i am willing to accept is a difference in the size of fuel tanks in the cars... V8's are horrible on gas especially large 7 liter ones...

I've never heard of any V-8 getting better fuel economy than a 6 cylinder. If a V-8 gets better gas mileage why is Dodge trying so hard to push their 20MPG Hemi in the Ram.


Correct facts help arguments lets work on that shall we?

It has 6 cylinders. Whatever.

You can't compare a 6 and 8 cylinders in real life because they don't even produce the same horsepower to begin with. Many 6 cylinders are also designed towards better fuel economy where as the majority of 8s are not.

It's harder for 6 cylinders to create 550 horsepower than it is for 8. The harder the engine works the greater your fuel useage is going to be. In Forza your Porsche MPG is comparable to the Lotus Endurance (which runs a V6).
