I don't believe there is a team championship so it's not too bad

Dan - do you mean manual shifting with clutch compared to manual with paddles or buttons i.e. sequential shifting? I didn't reslise there was much performance difference.

SVensVenson yeah it's not the end of the world but its annoying when you've spent time doing vinyls for drivers names and personalising a car for them and they don't show. It's not really a big deal but if I hadn't have had four drivers in I'd have probably raced myself, instead I cleaned the bathroom

There is a difference between Manual and Manual w/ Clutch, I haven't mastered it yet but I've taken half a second off my times when I use clutch. On acceleration you just breeze away

Really disappointing to have to miss out. Thanks for all the invites & help etc but I just couldn't connect, which was a real shame having bought a new Xbox, installed & configured it, recovered my gamer profile, been unable to retrieve my Forza 4 saved game (due to pending Cloud upload on the old Xbox which I can't sign in to) and so had to do the intro race PLUS enough races to be able to buy the VW, get the vinyls, apply the vinyls etc etc. All of this since getting home at 6 for the racing at 8.

Have started playing with my NAT settings on the Xbox and the router, and have assigned a static IP to the Xbox and opened the necessary ports on the router, but still not working.

You can just swap the handbrake and the clutch around and then just press A&B at the same time to shift up and A&X so shift down, basicallu just like using Manual w/o clutch but alot quicker

Just seen the build rules for the VW Golf VR6 - hopefully they explain why with my stock VR6 I couldn't get much better than a 1:18 lap time; nowhere near the 1:08s etc people have been posting.

Interested in what sort of rigs people are using? I would imagine that a serious racers, we're mostly using wheels. I'm currently running:

Fanatec GT2
Clubsport pedals
Standard shifters
Wheelstand Pro (the new one) with shifter mount

I have the 6 speed shifter mounted currently but using 'manual' shifting using the paddles on the wheel. Should really make the effort to use the manual shifter and clutch on the pedals.
