That would be hilarious with simulation damage on. :-)

Yes, you guys should bump my Forza thread on Car Soccer as well. I want it to get some attention.
I was actually just thinking it might be interesting to try with sim damage...but I think even with everyone putting out their best efforts not to ram into each other at full speed...the game still wouldn't last very long. Or it would take forever. Whichever.

that looks awesome, I'd like to join in on that action.
I find that immeasurably amusing. I wonder how Turn10 feels, if that was what they were aiming for at all.
i think its entirely intentional. on the loading screens, there's a "tip" or whatever that tells you "Italian driver M. Rossi drives aggressively. His fellow drivers say he drives angry" or something like that
i also like that he is a reference to Martini (& Rossi) Racing
there's a joke there, and try to figure it out before i tell you in the spoiler
Since martini racing is sponsored by an alcoholic beverage company, M. Rossi pretty much is a drunk driver
Here's a half-finished design I've been working on. It's pretty much done, but the Daytona logo's not right; I just downloaded a placeholder until I have the time to make the right one:
My brother and I took part in some Fujimi shenanigans tonight, too, with me in my 80s-riffic drift monstar:
Speaking of livery stuff, I had originally put together a tribute to the Honda RSC racing S800 for my NSX GT-R, but it didn't feel quite right, so I bought an S2000 where it'd make a lot more sense considering that it's a sort of modern-day tribute to that early Honda model. But what sort of homage would I pay with the NSX instead? Well, seeing as how it was developed with some input from their F1 department, including Ayrton Senna himself, I decided that a tribute to the 1968 RA301, Honda's final entrant into Formula 1 racing until 2006, was in order:
Except for the Firestone logo up front, every single decal was custom made by me- it looks like a really simple design, but there's nearly 500 layers each on the left and right. I think I may have overdid it- the "Smiths Equipped" tach design above the Firestone logo is absurdly detailed in its original full size but a blurred smear when reduced to decal size- but I'm really happy with the way it turned out. It's on the storefront for 5,000 credits right now (search for "RA301" and/or "penarc").
How did you paint on the windshield like that? It would not let me when I was doing my livery. Great looking livery as well, I may pick it up tomorrow.
I was trying to do that with the #2 Holden Commodore earlier. Wouldn't let me, the strip just stayed grey.
Maybe it's just some cars then.. I was able to put some decals on the window of the R3 BMW last night.
I've noticed the quality is really inconsistent on the R3's.. some of them, the speedometer doesn't even fucking work. The F430 R3 is the only one (that I 've seen) that has everything functional.. shift lights, speedo, etc. It even has a little display for race position and lap count.
well, everything being the LCD display and rear view camera
and that DBR is sweet james.
FXX isn't really a race car, though, it's designed essentially for track rentals to high-paying customers. Which is one of the reason's it's nice, they had to make it somewhat user-friendly so unlike most of the real race cars in the game you can actually see out of the damn thing.
And besides, the Caparo T1 (which was also disqualified) went around .1 seconds faster than the FXX. And the new Caparo has a lift for going over speed bumps...so it wouldn't be disqualified if they tested it.
So, since I new to this whole sim thing I've been playing with a lot of the assists on. I've always had Autobrake off though. But just now I turned off Stability control and traction control for the first time and on man. So much fun. I'm just in a little E level car (the Brera) but it's so much fun. I tired with ABS off but fuck that noise, i couldn't brake at all without losing it into everything.
Triple B - Your PA Veyron is super-awesome. Very nice job.
Also as promised - bad digicam pictures of my finished (-ish, I'm still seeing a few tweaks that need to be made) patriots logos. When I get the interwebs back I'll put these on my storefront and post up pictures of my Patriots Camaro.
Here is a little bit more detail what is on the way.
EU
The first containers will arrive on 25th of Nov. and we
will ship all open PWTS orders a week later to our customers.
The Pure and Clubsport editions ordered until September
will also be delivered with this shipment. Please don't ask for a precise cut-off date because we cannot tell you.
All other open ordes will be delivered in the second
shipment which arrives on the 2nd of December.
USA
The first shipment will arrive on the 13th of Nov. and will ship one week later to customers.
The first shipment will contain all PWTS (all versions) ordered until late September.
The rest will arrive in the second shipment which will land on the 20th of Nov and will be shipped out to customers one week later.
Shipment from our warehouse in CA to your door depends on where you live.
It will even be enough to have some stock but I am sure it will not last very long.
The only part which is delayed are the standard pedals which are bought separatly. I will update you later on those.
Does this game seem to have a any longevity? I don't think I am going to be able to swing it until Christmas time. Would hate to miss out on all the fun.

2006 24hr LMS #62 Cirtek Russian Age Racing DBR9
10,000. In my storefront if anyone wants one. Keyword- Cirtek or Russian Age Racing.
Can't paint on windows otherwise.
Also that DBR9 is effin' gorgeous.

or am i mistaken?
There's some videos out there of him driving it around a track, but again, not in a competitive setting.
well then i stand corrected
i still find it funny that forza offers more colors on the car than the number theat have even been made
That, and you could have an online lobby featuring a starting grid that consists of more FXXs than actually exist.
Psssh, some "sim", guys. :P
I've been working on driving in traffic so I hopefully don't take out whomever is in front of me.
This is Keml0 btw.
Steam: Kemlo
Yes...this is the same car I was trying to use.
Well, that's true of other cars too. The TVR Cerbera Speed 12, for instance. (Also known as "Satan's Car". Holy shit.)
Schumacher did a hot lap around the Top Gear track in his FXX and it was very fast.
Like
Really really fast
So fast that it bumped and jiggled in places on the track where no other car ever has before
So basically yeah, fastest road car. They won't test the Ultima GTR for some reason, but it'd be nice to see them test that.
Ferrari is all "hey dude you're pretty cool and we want to give an FXX, the very last one we're going to make".
And he's all "okay, but make it super fucking fast and give me a custom paint job".
And Ferrari is all "sure thing bro".
I mean, that rivals the power of the president of the united states right there.
Except it isn't, because the FXX isn't road-legal, and was using race tires.
Hence why they took it off the board in the very next episode.

There are 30 FXXs.
Mind you, I wouldn't complain if Forza could do 30-car grids, even just under special conditions (like, bring back goddamn system link).

Also as promised - bad digicam pictures of my finished (-ish, I'm still seeing a few tweaks that need to be made) patriots logos. When I get the interwebs back I'll put these on my storefront and post up pictures of my Patriots Camaro.
Also, sports team logos are a goldmine on the storefront. I've sold close to 200 Manchester United logos for 10k each.
3v3 Car Soccer
Huh, I must be thinking of some other Ferrari, then. The 250 Testa Rossa?
(checked teh wikis and it claims there were 34 250's built)
Just 2 more weeks for me I'm guessing!
