Good times there. Unfortunatly I never had chance to enter this round however I have now updated the OP in the Round 4 section. I will be entering the challenge from now on. I could pull rank and put a time in but I wont as it will far slower than what you lot have done...

Round 5 is next, Stage C. If everyone is still wanting to take part in this then we can carry on as it is. Or if need be I can take off the second part of the last two Stages. So it would be just one car for the last stages instead of 2.

Up to you lot.

On a different note I do have an idea to put forward regarding Forza 3 and the people on here who play it. I will post about it later..

Someone can choose the next car too..

Ok once this 'Ring event is finished with in the next week or so (probably middle of next week) would anyone be interested in team racing in a Championship style format? I did mention this last week I think in the official FM3 thread but its a quiet thread and not much activity there so I will put forward my idea here.

Basicly 4 teams of 2 compete in races.

The two team members of any team can help each other out with tuning or hints and tips before big races, help each other design the car colours/design as teams do.

All teams use the same car which will be chosen. Nothing too slow or too fast, probably Class B or A and affordable to each member as they will have to buy the car to put on the design/colours for the team. OR 4 equaly specced cars from 4 different manufacturers.

No upgrades allowed or only certain items can be upgraded which can be decided.

Tuning can be carried out.

For chosing the teams I have an idea. Looking at the times people are running in the 'ring Stages it is quite clear who are the better drivers. I am clearly 10 seconds give or take, slower than the top 2 or 3 drivers. I propose teaming the top 4 with the slower drivers so each team will have a fast and not so fast driver in it. Sort of balances things out. In a way. This way each team will be more or less equal.

A points system to be devised for the table, probably similar to Formula 1.

Races to be done at set times well in advance so everyone can be there, example; every second Sunday at 8pm.

Race types? All curcuit? Point to point? Probably best to keep it Curcuit as there are some great tracks in the game and a variety of styles.

So how do you think this sounds? It will take some setting up and making sure everyone is happy with decisions regarding the cars and what upgrades can or cannot be used, who is teamed up with who and who has the final say in the livery to be used.... etc etc.

I think it will be fun, the people posting the times in this thread seem decent folk and I reckon we could all have a good laugh in the racing sessions.. It doesnt have to be serious but having something to race for instead of joining a quick race with randoms. It will or could spark a little more interest from the people who seem to be getting bored of FM3.

Racing with your team mate in the colours/design you both made with your name on the car, your own number for all to see sounds great..

So. What do you think.:D
 
Sounds good to me Droolinggimp :)

2:05!!!! I managed 2:15. Like I said in the post about the teams that we could have I am always 10 sec behind you.. Any chance of uploading a replay of one of your times if you have another go.. I would like to see how you do it. Or better still a ghost if its possible to have one saved or uploaded.

I know practise practise practise and I do. I guess its just having the courage to take those corners faster.
 
I am off work today, Wed and Thurs so I will have a deeper look into this championship and come up with a format for it. I will have a mooch at the cars we can use specificaly ones that we could all afford (unless someone with some cash could help out people with not so much). Also I will try to list the teams and team members to make it even, which can change if the top drivers think other wise.:)

There is a quite a lot to arrange but I think if people are on board with this then I will be come a great experience. I for one have never actually raced with 'known' people on FM3 only randoms so having you lot to race with will make my FM3 even better.

Not wanting to jump the gun here but I have already got a car design in mind for the team I would be in..:D

Through out the day I will Post the things I have come up with or sorted out and put to you lot as to see if they are any good or not.

It's a pretty lame time so I'll take a photo when I improve

P.S. Is there any easier way to do more laps than having to restart the stage in hot lap mode?
