(any late joiners will race from this room)

Mandatory Pit window lap 5 - 30.

so apparently my teammate has quit the series without mentioning anything to me. so glad I switched my car to accomodate him.

Are U sure..That doesn't sound like him at all!

He's just a lil butthurt behind one poor result. I think he will return.

I know the feeling. (From season's past.)

Turns out I'll make the race due to a nice co-worker. Whoo hoo!

pretty frustrating night. race went exactly as I expected it to: pure carnage.


Was taking things very very carefully first several laps then got tapped from behind on lap 4, giving me rear end damage that made my back end slide out every corner, thus creating a vicious cyle where every corner i'd slide out and tap the wall giving me even more damage thus making me even more unstable.

I want to appologize to Zed. Around lap 16 I did a barrel roll and ended up wrecking Zed. sorry bro, I had literally just landed back on my wheels when you came around the corner.

So glad to make it through this week. Had aero damage from tapping doors on lap 5ish or so, and lost a lot of time in a spin from that. Was doing okay and gained some time back, and ended up punching the wall pushing too hard after my pit on lap 30 or so. Also spun on the esses on the last lap, losing another position. Oh well, was able to finish, it could have been much worse.

Kind of sucked it took like 6 hours to start because our group had so many problems. I think we restarted at least 5 times. Hoping it will go better next week.

The incident in question between Claude and Spurtle

Good racing in B lobby. The first 10 laps or so was some intense racing, with 3 of us just right next to each other. Once I was able to get around everyone I had a rather easy lobby win, finishing with 6 credits worth of damage.

Can't wait for next week, and wondering how I'll deal with my inevitable PI hit

From the look he slid 2 the outside and hit Spurtle, but he did appologize... guess it'll b reviewed and delt with ...

Good race on the other hand. I unfortunately had to pit on lap 38 because my own driver error and in that gave up (th spot ... ... Off to R.A !!!

Checked out the replay in C lobby to see what the hell happened to me. I didn't want to call for a restart because I didn't even realize what happened at first. Didn't want to ruin what was a mostly clean start for everyone.

I know it was not his fault, but I apparently got "uppercutted" by Kannibal thanks to lag. The replay is on my storefront, lap 5 before the esses. His car actually sank into the track, went underneath me, then jumped up. Of course this destroyed my car and led to another race where I just limped through the majority of the race. So after being a victim of some B.S. my first 2 races I'm hoping for better luck next week.

So for future reference, is an incident like this one grounds for a restart, even though it really only involved myself? I know someone said that 5 laps was the cut-off for restarts, but only if it was a major incident or due to lag.

Also, my teammate can't seem to connect to any lobbies with a decent amount of people in them. His NAT is open. Does anybody know what the problem might be?

that was a crazy race. i was on the edge of my couch trying to make sure i didn't hit the wall the whole time yet pushing it as hard as i could to make sure i was able to finish first. i guess i'll have to wait and see the change in my PI until i can get testing for road america but it should be fun next week . good racing everyone! time for a break now, my eyes are strained and i'm a little bit sweaty lol.

I thought the part where the guy (was it Claude or Chenstrap?) was like "HI SPURTLE!"... CRASH!!! "WTF!" was pretty funny

Great race for the most part for every room. As for the crash and restart question...The general rule for this series has been once lap 1 is in the books there are no restarts. Even then on lap 1 if the accident is racer caused then we keep on racin' but if it is lag induced and others saw the lag spike we restart. But if something happens 5 laps in it's just an F'ed up incident that we just equate to engine failure or something along those line.

was intending to make a joke since i was so close and he took me out last week. As i did, claude decided to deliver the punchline.

All I can say is that the racing in Room C was surprisingly clean from what my expectations were due to the track we were on. Can't wait for Road America. Good racing this week fellas

I was watching the broadcast at about the 40 min mark, and I was hoping we'd at least wait until the NASCAR Race was over before we began

Congratulations to Racerboy77 for getting his first win in the Forza Sports Car Series. Coming from third on the grid to win with a great performance and clean race!

The HARD CHARGER award bonus points go to PC Gearhead for coming from 36th on the grid to finishing 13th gaining 23 positions! (Also his best finish for him in the series. Congratulations)


Replays will be reviewed and penalties will be given if earned. (points will be posted soon) {will be adjusted after penalties are assessed)

Now we move on to Road America.
