And by not hitting anyone I was able to secure a podium finish. Thanks MPR!
Ahhhhh. The dreaded T1 collisions. excuse me, excuse me, sorry, pardon me, sorry again as I try to fit this car through an opening the size of a breadbox. Many of you guys would be so fired by the owners.
And I am mad that I can't join in because of my crappy RL schedule.
Some close battles in there there is another point drop next week so ecpect everything to be even closer! Its imperative you try to race every week as these point drops remove the bad races you have and not the zeros!
having treated the pedal pots to a dose of contact cleaner and also increased the pedals resistance with a suitably modified squash ball(!!) the brake issue has now got a workaround. there is certainly a more gradual and progressive feel to the pedal rather than all the brake pressure being in the 1st 1/2 inch of the pedal as before. I guess you could probably put a bolt or screw to act as a brake stop but mebbe thats kinda cheating eh??
Anyway it works so perhaps i can assist the other MPR drivers towards winning the super 1800 championship
Church,take my apologises for no show tonight,come down with headacre
and fever........ good luck to all in Room A and Room B may the best drivers win
Can you send me the replays after you've finished,cheers in advance.
Another funny race for me in subaru .... i just can not understand this game - car is behaving different in tuning test track than in online race - HUGE difference.
When everything been going well sudden lost of grip and sand .... or sudden lost of grip and somebodies help and sand - pretty annoying.
Anyway i did 1:41.xxx what was max what i been able to get from sub - not enough for the rest of the grid.
See You next week on another frustrating race
By the way - fs someone have some very spare time and can look on the replay (especially race 3) - what i'm doing wrong that car is so slippy i will appreciate advices.

Looking at your previouse races best lap time you are constantly at least a second of everyone elses.
So instead of adding power you can reduce your Subaru's weight too 2400lbs. Hopefully you will get in the mix then fella!
Cheers Church - but i would like to find what is not right in my driving other than get another advantages .... I really wish to race with full spec car.
Hope that for future we will get better mixture of different cars - let say everyone have to have different one - then the racing are going to be more funny as every car has different bad and good points ......
My next event should see everyone in a different car pretty much as I will be adding or removing weight and power to each car after every week to keep it close. Oh yeah this us how they do it in the real BTCC lol
@ Bastek. One of forza's little inconsistencies is the fact that the cars behave differently in race rooms than a test ie offline session. This is a known issue so I would therefore suggest you test your car in an online room to give you some idea of what to expect in the race and adjust your tune accordingly, this is what we all do!!. Regrettably against a room full of porsche's you will struggle with that car am afraid.
Personally for the next touring car type event we run I would like to see the body shape rule return, ie hatchback or saloon only with a few named coupe exceptions, such as BMW M3, 135i, VW scirocco etc allowed to widen the choice a little and remove the porsche and corvette type cars from a championship they dont really belong in!
That said i believe the next sunday euro event is more GT car oriented ???
All that being said, excellent work Snoop on trimming Supernova's lead in room B, I will be your wingman for rest of season as think am too far back to catch him myself!!

I`m not too worried at the moment. And as long as it stays that way i will not need to put the bullseye on Snoop
If before You didn't have that problem just restart Your router (by xbox advice) i had the same problem last night but after router reset problem gone fortunatly for me.
It looks to me like we can mod a little restriction rules ..... as all the time Church try to bring other than porsche cars to competition level i can see that maybe will be worth to restrict cars to 670 (as Porsche is) Looks to me that this index is more equal to performance other than weight and power restriction.
Oh believe me .... it came so close! lol
Fully updated results!
Some close battles in there
there is another point drop next week so ecpect everything to be even closer! Its imperative you try to race every week as these point drops remove the bad races you have and not the zeros!

Unfortunatly i couldnt get in the lobby, flippin' NAT issues again!!!
Well done to all the MPR drivers especially Snoop
Is your NAT setting "open, moderate or strict" on the XBox360?
If before You didn't have that problem just restart Your router (by xbox advice) i had the same problem last night but after router reset problem gone fortunatly for me.
I did some test run's at Susuka East cirquit with Ford and Porch.
Porche 911 sport classic.
I only have a very litle knolage about tuning so I only put it together on spec.( no more thean 420HP and no less than 2500 weight.)
52.XXX ( Best clean Run 52.358 )
Ford Tuned by Cpro.
53.XXX / 54.XXX ( Best not so clean run 53.800 )
I start in a Ford so every lap have to find 1.5 seconds somewhere
Martin.

Church - what You think about rule 670 ??
