Calling all Forza Motorsports Owners

[Lickwid Apex]

Is there any interest in Forza Motorsports 6? I used to race with a group a while back and we had a lot of fun. If you guys wanna gather during the week to turn a few laps, I can host a room. Might even broadcast it if we get enough people.

Add me on Xbox Live if you get the chance. Lickwid Apex

Which Forza?

[strat61caster]

I've been playing Forza 3 recently in my downtime instead of being productive, was starting to get tempted to plop down $300 last night for an xbone, renewing gold for a year, and F6, but that's 6 autocross entries so, nah.

Enjoy, part of me misses it.

I've been watching this youtube channel to sate my interest (basically it runs in the background while I work), they do big community races with some unique rulesets like 'D class 4-doors' or 'A class movie cars', rather dry, incredibly niche, but better racing than the average F1 grand prix. Fun to watch different cars bang doors like Limo's against RX-3's.

Some of my favorite memories growing up were playing FPS with friends, a few mind blowing RPG's, and online racing games because the people were awesome. Tossing on a headset and chatting while banging doors with some dude across the country for an hour or two was great. Sure you get a couple knuckleheads who can't make one corner but they usually leave pretty quick.

@ Special_K: Forza 6 on the Xbox 1.
@ Strat61caster: I'm on the other side of the fence for auto cross. I'd rather have unlimited runs in a sim instead of the real tarmac. If you change your mind, you know where to find me.

I got the G920 and Open Wheeler seat setup recently. Lots of fun getting that dialed in but I have very few cars and even fewer with decent tunes.

I have a FRS in B class that's a boat load of fun and could be a good spec series.

[Silver Cervy]

I'm actually playing forza 6 right now, having some fun in the GT endurance lobby.

I'll add you right now. Send me a message whenever you want to race

[Lickwid Apex]

Rice, Cervy.. I'll add you when I log on tonight. It should be close to 8pm central. If its convenient, maybe we'll turn a few laps, swap tunes.

[MrFisty]

I play Forza 6 solely for drifting. If you want to do that, I'm SGT Striker X.

I mean I get what you're saying, but comparing the two just makes me think you've never experienced the real thing...

Lets put it this way, $300 for an Xbone, or $200 for two hours on track at Laguna Seca?

[iamjacob]

Not to take a side as it's not up to me what anyone does with their money but.....

One of these is $100/hr of crazy fun and the other works out to a few cents/hr for a generally good time in the long run. Pretty much an apples and oranges kind of comparison.

I'd love to join but I'm only in the sony camp at the moment. Can't wait for the new GT (Gran Turismo) to come out though. AAA level driving sim in full VR. Cant Wait.

I promise I'm not comparing the two. It's just a choice I made after taking my bike to the track. It was great fun, but the cost was too high to only go for a day. I'll never poke fun at track peeps. I've got a lot of respect for your tenacity.

[Lickwid Apex]

I found a couple invites last night, accepted/added and then hunted down the respective times in Class Rivals. About halfway through D class I got an invite for some private racing with EXOR. Good group of guys.

I'll be on again and looking for some FT86 fans Saturday night.


side note: Also, rice_classic, I searched for your tag and the search failed. Could you have spelled it a little differently?

I had the most fun of my life in a car on the track.

For the entire year of ownership of my Corvette the only time I ever felt like I used it even close to 80% of its capability was when I had it on the track.

It was so good it made me realize what a waste it was just driving it back and forth to work, and is part of the reason why I dont have it anymore.

This is why I bought another car to daily. Once I drove my FRS on the track I couldn't slow down. lol. Every where I went I wanted to be flat out and if I wasn't I was bored. lol

Anywho. My user name is Takumi788 on XBox. I pretty much live in virtual Watkins Glen or Limerock with A-class with a mildly boosted frs.
