Hey everybody!!

Hows things shaking??....Found yall on FM.net and was thinking about joining a club......

Im a 44 year old geek that plays video games instead of watching tv in my spare time.....Im a big gear head...Raised as a mechanics son and love have grease under my finger nails. Always been a Forza fan and about 6 months agao joined my first club. But I was seeing what else is out there. I have a couple of questions..

Do yall have orginized races weekly?? If so what are they??

Before these races are there qualifiying?

Whey you race on average how many are in a race??

 

Sorry if I come to you questioning your club but I just want to see whay yall have to offer before I jump ship. I like the club Im in but they are falling off a little bit.........In the mean time Ill look aroiud in here to see what I can figure out....Peace

Glad you found us.  Cotter will probably be along shortly and shoot you an invite to 2old4forza.  There are actually series running damn near every night of the week.  Lots of different series, some spec, some handicapped, some offline for those that don't have schedules that align.  Several members run drop in - pick up races with multiclass lobbies just for kicks too.

Field counts for the organized series are typically in the 8-12 range....sometimes more, occasionally less.

Welcome to the madness.  55

We're a rather large club, so we have several regioanl divisions in game. Where are you located? I want to make sure you get added to the correct club if possible.

Definetely make sure you hit up the Active2O4F tag.  J does a bang up job keeping the more active guys attached to that tag so you've got a good chance to pick up a pick up race (watch out for Jones' Dodge) at all kinds of hours.

Oh, and I just noticed you're on PSN too.  If you have GT5, take a look in the Race Series subforum for the Thursday GT5 event.  We usually have about 8-9 guys that show up.  We run spec cars that are posted on a spreadsheet usually a week before hand to you can build and practice if you choose.

Ok Ill check them out.....Quick question.....I see on the "active 204f" gamertag that I can see activity of players but how do I join a race that they are in??...When I looked there were a couple guys in public lobbies but didnt have the option to join...Was there game full or set to private??...I know seems like a stupid question but Ive never used a buddyes friends list to join in a game

Never a silly question. 

If when you view the GT and there isn't an option to join then it usually means that the lobby is FULL or it is indeed set to private.   (The later is very rarely used) 

You could always send a msg asking for an invite - People won't take offence to that here and invite you as soon as a spot opens up.   When you are more familiar, open up rooms yourself and send out invites to anyone :)

If it is a series race then it will not be open, these run over several weeks with point scored and specific cars. They can often be joined late into the season but the right car, tune and a club race number are kinda required. Easy to get, just post to the relavent thread in the races and series sub forum and you will be sorted. You will find the first post in any series thread will give you all the information.  There are pick up nights, Track Night for the euro crowd and I think there is one for the US side. Its all a bit overwheming at the start, but ask any question and we will point you in the right direction. You'll soon get the hang of it smiley

Kat, the list on the active tag will tell you if someone on it is playing forza. If you want to see if they're actually in a lobby, then you'll have to actually look at their tag. . What I usually do is this...I'll start up a room of my own & invite everyone I see playing forza. If they've already got a room going, usually they will send one back to you in turn. Then you can just join in on the existing lobby. It will all get much easier once you make some friends on your own list, so don't be stingy with the FR's.
