3. Etiquette and small print.
3.1 This is a non contact series, Race clean and give room.

3.3 If deemed necessary, the series admin can apply penalties after the race to infringing drivers, these will range from time penalties to exclusion depending on severity.
3.4 As the series relies on lobby points the race room host cannot open a practice room prior to the event, doesnt stop someone else having one though.....
3.5 All usual 2o4f Race room stuff applies.
This series will follow the current GT series when that finishes, I will update the regs with sign up sheets links to points tables etc as and when i have them
Im in!!!! - Will work on Signup sheet tonight or tomorrow and will add the link to OP. Also stickied :)
I'm in too
Thanks for your help snoop, much appreciated
I have nothing better to do so I'm in. Just got to see what car to pick.
Will be looking to run a shakedown test on Sunday if anyone happens to be about at the usual time. So far there are 3 possible ban list cars but will have better idea after the test.
I'll probably be there.
Ok following the test there may be as many as 5 banned cars...eek. The lexus isf, gs 350f sport and maserati quattroporte all ineligible at moment and the 2003 BMW m5 and merc c63amg may be shortly joining them
Toyota Alteeza (spelling?) with Supra engine swap is pretty strong.
For cars banned based on pure speed, what about changing the build specs like 450 bhp and 3500 pounds? I haven't tried this.
You know what am thinking of unbanning these as have found couple more that are also good. so probably enough to go round lol. Havent tried the altezza but will do so soon
OP modified to include start date and to announce cautions in place for opening laps. All banned lists cleared as there seems to be enough quick cars to go round without one being particularly dominant....I think......
Yeah, sorry General. With Project Cars and World of Tanks + summer sunshine, my commitment to FM4 is waning...
I think the time has come to retire the game to be honest lol, It has had a long run but with project cars and upcoming forza 6, i reckon many xbox360s have been rendered door stops. Since i do not have the new console i will be taking a sabbatical on here and playing all the games i havent had time for due to forza 4 hahaha
For what it's worth, I fired my 360 back up. I would like to see this get going. Count me in if interest wanders back.
I'm still here, too.
Max, only those who are part of the preview program can download the update. All others have to wait a few months.
I got a message about the Preview dashboard thing is this the same thing? Would be good to get the XB1 guys and the 360 guys back to a championship. afterall FM4 still has some life left in it
I accepted it and looked like something you can just get off the store but I will have a look at it tonight when i get home (eventually damn late shift)
This makes me so happy to see this thread alive again.... Pontiac G8 GXP here I come.
I think you can only invite 1 person. I'll have to check but how many of us have it? I have it but don't have an Xbox one.
Now that I found this again, Ill check from time to time.
Summertime is dicey for all, but sayin' hi still works
Enjoy all
