Normally I don't like to toot my own horn, but This past Friday was a red letter day for 2Old4ForzaToo. The Folks at Turn 10 (Forza's production co.) started up a new Team challenge this week. Basically they called the community out to form 3 man teams to challenge t-10's best racers. So Myself, Mr. Paradox, & xjimnranx Stepped up & formed team RGFD (Really Good Foorza Drivers)....yes ithe name's a little lame but what do you expect on short notice lol. Imagine our excitement when we find out that our team has been the First selected to run the innaugural event. We found out Wednesday & proceeded to do nothing but practice in the car we'd be driving on the track that had been selected for the next 2 days. Lots of other clan mates showed up to give us some practice competition as well. So Friday Finally comes & my racing wheel dies about 45 minutes before race time......FUCK!!! so I made the mad dash to gamestop to pick up a new one and made it home though rush hour traffic with about 15 minutes to warm up. Needlass to say I was feeling pretty nervous as it was, but that just really topped off my case of "nerves" that I'd worked up in anticipation of Racing against the very people who made this game that I seem to spend sooo much time with. So finally we get the invite from the T-10 guys to join their lobby & get the party started. Then the race starts & all 3 of T-10's guys are placed 1-2-3 with us starting "in the hole" at the back. Luckily Jim was able to beat T-10's fastest for the lead. My performance was marred by a couple of intimate experiences with the wall. Luckily T-10 made their mistakes too. The race ended with Jim in 1st, Me in 4th, & Dox in 5th. This gave us 3 more points than the T-10guys...WOOT!! So we got ourselves some free unicorn cars & a little bit of spending money. We also got to race with a great bunch of guys. But here's the best part of the Story. Landin at T-10 has offfered to Sponsor our spec racing series with Unicorn cars for Prizes. so I'm hoping to formalize this within the next few days. So Bragging rights got to us...YAY. Hopefully this will lead to a little exposure as well.

Details from our race can be found here in case anybody's interested...............http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/forums/1/1654723/ShowThread.aspx

Wow, that is awesome man! Beating the devs are their own game, especially one you're so involved with, must have been ridiculously fun. Great work!
