Click For SERIES RACE SCHEDULE

RACE SET AT SUNSET TIME

The rugged mountain east of Barcelona known as Montserrat (meaning "jagged mountain" in Catalan, the language of the Catalonia region) is achingly beautiful and equally dangerous for the Racers of the Forza Sports Car Series. Camino Viejo de Montserrat is the setting for an epic road course spanning the mountain, comprised of a series of old alpine access roads converted into a multi-purpose track environment. The Extreme Circuit is a serpentine 4.3 mile route that explores both the beautiful surroundings and also the limits of your car. The relatively narrow course climbs up into the furthest heights of the mountain, and then rapidly plummets in a sweeping and technically challenging series of turns. It takes a special car and a skillful tune to be competitive on each one of the Extreme Circuit's varied segments. Who will have the fortitude to take home the victory at the EXTREME Circuit in the EXTREME FSCS?! If you think you know Camino Viejo already, wait until you experience the wheel-to-wheel action on the mountains with the racers of The Forza Sports Car Series...Take the word challenging and EXTREME to a whole new level. GT Example Time 2:41:513 - GTC Example Time 2:51.863

GTC Will have 5 second delay to GT Standing Start.
NO Per car roll of delay

Normally I wait until the last few days but I already did some laps to get my build adjusted to the PI change and fix the suspension damage issue. Road America didn't really hurt it all that much, but it's 10 times worse here. Clean laps are not easy to come by, that chicane is a real killer, and there are tons of spots that are easy to slip up on.

I love this track, its not raced enough to be honest. But I know with the amount of inexperienced drivers , that not only turn one will be scary. The downhill section with the quick left rights and rises into first harpin, the uphill into that left where you can get loose, the tights corners and uphills, the back stight with the super-stick pavement, and the down hill before the stright. Thats more than half the track lol not to mention the pitlane. It could be a very dangerous race. Hopefully everyone is patient but im not going ot hold my breathe on that one.

no answers on the poll fit me :p i'll probably do what i always do, wait until sunday, do a couple laps, qualify, then race :p. not looking forward to a standing start here though.

Yeah expect "blistering" to be about 4 seconds faster than the example times lol. I feel fast if i can hit 2 seconds faster than the average and that still puts me back a ways. but hey enthusiasm +1

If what you say is true then this weekend should be interesting, a fierce circut + "blistering" lap times should = some great racing. I will be testing my wheel today i think along with Preds tips and re-postioning the fans i should have a trouble free race il will run the race today to expirment and tune . We will see when race day comes. Somthing tells me that having my wheel freeze in this race can equal some real consequences and might have some collateral damage on such a tight track, and dont even get me started on those "S curves" lol

Those tight uphill hairpins is where i shine. I put some distance on Bradz there yesterday even when i drifted lol. But the S's after the start finish were also kind to the Porsche. I think the place im losing the most is the long straight's chicane, i feel like i cant take it right yet, and that i loose way to much speed. I can tell by my splits i have a lot of time to gain still and im hitting good times.

any rooms open today?

I've got too much going on tomorrow to qualify so I'd like to get it over with in the next hour, or later tonight, whichever works.

Still not began practicing for this race or anything still trying to get back to a Normal routine from going on holiday for a week (still trying to get all the dust out of my hair from driving a buggy)

I am helping a friend move today. I will be on after I get home in probably about 3 hours. We have been moving since 6 this morning and almost all done. He wishes he never asked me to help..I am a taskmaster! My philosophy work hard, work smart, work fast, get it done. Rest early if you don't take 50 brakes in the middle you finish faster. Well, he paid for the food and the Pizza is just about gone. See ya my fellow racers!

Ditto on work philosophy. And Pizza is is the only payment I accept. (For friends and family)

Hmm... maybe that's why I don't ever have money when I need it.

personal best was a quick one with splits at the last checkpoint showing a green .9xx faster clean.... til i broke too late in the right hander after the straight's chicane. im excited about this one.. *if* i can qualify clean.

Anybody hosting a qualifying room?

Half the time I used my qualifying session as my practice for the race.

I will have a room up Very shortly. Eating then I will start the room.

We finished moving earlier than I predicted. But then the beer began to flow..well, the rest is history. See you fellows on the track soon!

I also need to qualify still
