Re: Forza Motorsport 5 Review (XBox One)

Excellent post TCrouch!

First round of TORA GT Season 11 was this weekend at Silverstone. XBL issues really caused some delays and made it a frustrating evening for everyone involved.

I managed to qualify 14th out of about 60 competitors that signed up and ended up finishing 9th in both races. Full results can be seen here:

Here's a few shots from Race1:

And here's a Race 1 video done by CQR MAGiC: (You'll probably notice the upshift on the Aston sounding odd but it's just a bug in the Forza replays.)

I finally picked this up for xbone this weekend. What was i waiting on?? Excellent racing sim, looks fantastic as well. I personally love the drivatar system rather than regular AI.

Good choice man. I have played it off and on since release day.

A few pics I've taken for a photo comp on FM.net

#3 is my personal favorite and the one I'm leaning toward entering.

CQR Race Night #8 Formula Ford from Nuburgring GP

I missed quali and went into the race cold with no warmup and using a tune I'd never driven with before. Gave someone a tiny shunt into turn one but thankfully we weren't using simulation damage so no damage and it didn't impact the race. Got a blinder of a start taking 2 places off the line and by the end of lap one I had gone from 8th to 4th and ran with the leaders for several laps until a mistake cost me and I fell back to 7th.

The Formula Ford is a bit of handfull on corner entry, really forcing you to be as smooth as possible which is easier said than done with a controller. All in all it was fun night of racing though.

CQR Takumi eventually took the win with CQR Neon and CQR Magic rounding out the podium.

Been away for a bit, started a new job about a month ago and been busy training and pre occupied with other stuff. Have been participating in the Virtual Motorsports Super Taikyu series. An awesome series with over a 100 drivers signed up to take part.

This past weekend was the 3rd round at Road America, I ended up qualifying 17th overall and ended up taking 2nd in Lobby 2 which was good enough for 15th overall. Had a really great battle for most of the race with my teammate CQR Jono and RSR Boulton. Here's a little onboard video from me for about the first 13 to 14 laps of the 25 lap race.

Re: Forza Motorsport 5 Review (XBox One)

I'm still playing this game from time to time. Is everyone on here making the jump to Horizon 2? I plan on keeping both for the time being.

Haven't played in a while but I usually play it once in a while. Im definitely picking up Horizon 2. Had a blast playing Horizon on the 360 when it came out for the 360.
