I will give Catalunya a shot with a bone stock frs tonight.

Anyone else notice how ridiculously long the trans gearing is in forza? I always edit my gearing to duplicate the actual gears from the FRS. It makes it much more realistic. My shift points are almost perfect to when I real life track my car now.

Takumi, are you using a race wheel?

I'm slow :(

No...its on the list of things to buy once the racing season is over.

Would anyone be down for a weekly c/b class race on the ring?
Me and a few friend usually get together Saturday nights and run c/b cars on the ring.

It's night only.
No driving line.
Locked to cockpit.
HUD off.

No Forza areo or race slicks.

LMK if anyone wants to join us.

I'm in, but I'll miss next Saturday because I'll be racing but look forward to it after that.

I'd love to join when I'm available.

Sure 808, I'm in. Saturday nights, what time/ timezone?

I'm in Hawaii, so unfortunately I'm not on on Saturday till essentially midnight for east coasters.

But I'm also usually racing Sunday all day also.

Had a good run with rice last night. We started out with a grid of drivatars and ended up with just he and I battling. Our pace was similar but our corner technique differences created small gaps. It wasn't until the last race that he discovered I was using the braking line. I apologize for that, its safer to run that way in public lobbies.

So we hit up Watkins Glen after that correction and the race was even closer.

Rice, I look forward to racing with you again.

Forza guys, should check out Assetto Corsa once the 86 becomes available as DLC later on this year.... FINALLY, a realistic driving simulator for console. Still bugs and patches they are working on (online racing is not where it needs to be yet) so I would give them until October, when the new patch irons things out. Now have motivation to get a proper FFB wheel for the X-Box One....

Forza is okay, but the driving aspect drives me crazy....can't stand it, so I don't play it. Project Cars does it much better, but still is slightly maddening. Assetto Corsa = really good driving experience with a controller on console. I can tell even from just using a controller so far that the driving is every bit as good as GTR2 racing simulation for PC is, which is my gold standard along with Richard Burns Rally. With a properly setup FFB wheel it should be an absolutely phenominal experience....

I just wish VR would be able to be used with the consoles some day, because what I've seen of Assetto Corsa on PC with the HTC Vive makes me want to look into getting another sim rig setup...

Forza6 with an FFB works just as well as Assetto Corsa on PC does. The nuances that apparently 'make the two games so vastly different its laughable' are lost on me. Forza6 with an FFB wheel works very well.
