Eeerrmmm hello multi class so why is there no mr2's in A lobby stop moaning its multi class for a reason..

by CQR NEON Sun 25 Jan 2015 - 20:55

This is totally wrong, this will truly mess up the standings, should be 5 mr2's in lobby a yet they are all gt86's

by connor7195 Sun 25 Jan 2015 - 20:58

I would rather all 9 mr2's be racing together than 5 in one and 4 in the other. Besides, the mr2 and gt86 points are done seperate

by jonnotheone Sun 25 Jan 2015 - 21:00

But that defeats the object of multi class you cant have one lobby with one lot and screw it mix the rest if that was the case the mr2,should be in there own lobby..

by xICEMANx41 Sun 25 Jan 2015 - 21:02

Hmmmm.... An all MR2 lobby....

Exactly, its all down to people to turn up in the mr2's. It only takes 2 people to have a good race really but to have 2 lobbies that are going to be run differently its just silly really.

I thought you had the better of me to be honest mate....right up till the point when you spun it.....such a relief Wink

Bodywork guys have A LOT of work to do with my car before Round 3!!

Lag bombed in race 1. Then following a pitstop to fix that damage my controller turned itself off and on and into the wall I went at unabated speed. Pitstop two and one far shorter GT86.

On Pole for Race 2. Got mugged into the double right hander onto the back straight. Bit of conkers got played and I was down to fourth.
Then the back end came round in the Dunlop Chicane (first time that's happened all weekend) and I got tagged rear right whcih damaged the suspension. Tried driving around the problem for a few laps but had to pit. Then was going two seconds a lap faster than I did in qualy! What could have been Sad

I believe that may of been me that tagged you mate on the right-hander befor the chicane on the back end of the circuit I do apologise profusely....although on the replay there was no contact..but sorry mate..

Great race yesterday guys.

The championship tables have now been updated.

The competition yesterday in Lobby A was really good fun & good racing with Hamish, Eggy, Solar Flar & Neon. I was surprised to do as well as I did as the Bugatti circuit isn't one of my strongest. But it was really good fun.
I apologise to those of whom I made contact with during both races. Especially with Hamish in race 1. I tried to leave as much room as possible but it was always tricky to go two wide at the very tight chicane. Also with Neon in race 2. My brakes weren't as reliable as first thought so I'll need to work on those for the next round.

Also, I want to apologise to everyone for the organisation last night. Because of the knowledge we have of the unreliable connections in Forza's lobbies, we wasn't sure whether it would be worth experimenting to see whether the game would cope with lobbies of more than 14 drivers.
Also, because of the complaints we had in the last race meeting with the lack of competitors, we didn't want to create 3 lobbies of only 10/11 drivers in each. There was over 20 GT86's & only 9 MR2's so we couldn't decide on what was the best cause of action.
We consulted our president Matt & he suggested to stick at least 15 GT86's in the top lobby which at the time sounded fine. But then, I started to have doubts because this kind of defeated the point of this championship being a multi-class series. Only when I was notified by Wingnut & a couple of others, did we decide to alter the lobbies to how they should have been.

We do hope that these issues won't occur again so I want to say sorry to all of you & hope this won't affect your participation in this championship in the future. I for one do appreciate all of your input & suggestions to help us thrive & improve Smile

I hate putting an si in against a fellow competitor...a simple apology is usually all id like....any how race one round two good race had a battle with jenson09 and mike for a few laps then I dunno what happend lol everyone left me 2nd race ill forget about....

by xICEMANx41 Tue 27 Jan 2015 - 0:18

That's crazy. My second race felt the same way.... just like it had no power...

by CQR CHRiS Fri 6 Feb 2015 - 13:24

Is there any reason why both classes are scored together yet the winner of MR2 class can score more than second place GT86?

by xICEMANx41 Fri 6 Feb 2015 - 13:27

Overall is overall. Just a running time, like they have in Tudor. I don't think we get anything extra for beating another class, but could be wrong!

We are all running for our own title, so winner of mr2 will always be more than 2nd in GT.
