Car details

RS CUP NUMBERPLATE IS REQUIRED AND IS ON MY STOREFRONT.

Place your race number on each side of the car, and on your rear bumper. This will provide easy ID during replays and when guys are making passes. Any paint is welcome; I'm running a plain Jane Autocross type livery, and something as simple as a factory paint with numbers is just fine. Or get crazy with the paint your choice.

The build must follow the guidelines. However, note that you are welcome to change the style of wheel as long as you use the specified wheel diameter.

This build and a general Tune is on my storefront. Also, I will post a tune for each upcoming race no later than the Sunday before the race.

General Race Rules.

This might sound like a control Nazi but if you punt somone off track apologize for it. Those without decency enough to apologize aren't welcome in this series.

With that said, there will be cautions on all but the last lap. So, we could race rough and it not kill us, but run the entire race under caution (boring), or race clean and get as many green flag laps as possible.

Also, another way of helping out the newer guys=the slowest qualifier in each race will be given 1 free caution that he may call at any time. ANY time. This can be used to get caught up to the field or to keep from losing multiple positions when you have an off track excursion. Even if it is your fault. A get out of jail free card of sorts for the inevitable mistake that is bound to happen.

The "unwritten rules".....Cut the slower guys some slack. Don't dive into a corner next to them if you know that you will get a run out of that corner and be able to pass on the next strait anyhow. This will only intimidate new guys which is what we want to avoid.

5/16 NEW RACE! 1 RACE NIGHT 20 LAPS RALLY DI POSITANO

The last 3 races are repeats to give the new guys that I hope join us some familiarity, and also because I want to award prizes (among other things) to the most improved driver.

PRIZES

Points

1st= 5mil credits and an assortment of original vinyls

2nd=2mil credits and an assortment of original vinyls

3rd=1 mil credits and an assortment of original vinyls

Most improved driver.....Still trying to work something out.

Driver Elegance award.....Still trying to work something out.

Most liked driver=A custom tuned car, that is a  GREAT car for it's class. There will be two different tunes. One for tracks with long sweeping turns and the other for tracks with sharper turns. It will also come with a custom paint, as well as include two other custom liveries. Everything gifted over so it's open for editing if you want. (The tune is a home run though really)

Prizes will be given out to the top 3 points winners. Also there will be a prize for most improved driver, Most liked driver and a driver elegance award. (to the driver who always races smooth/clean)

Handicaps.

I've been back and forth with this and I really think the best way to do this is to set handicaps the night of the race.

REMEMBER YOUR HANDICAP EACH WEEK. IT WILL CARRY OVER. This will help speed along the qualifying heats. Your handicap may get adjusted, however, if you ran in group 2 in the previous race start the qualifying heats in group 2.

NEW MEMBERS OF 2O4F AND THOSE NEW TO FORZA IN GENERAL

JOIN IN THIS SERIES! This is the perfect series to get your feet wet. The car is easy to drive, handles well, and isn't a rocket ship in a strait line (that's a good thing).

I will do anything and everything I can to improve the experience of the newer guys. From providing tunes, answering questions, giving track tuturing sessions, running practice sessions, you name it, even providing vinyls to help you get a paint squared away. I'll even consider tweaking the build if someone isn't fitting in even with the handicaps. For example a bump up in HP, or the addition of Aero.

These are seriously fun car!
