Thanks for the race gents, despite a few incidents was some very close racing. My headset battery went on lap 28 so couldnt respond to requests but heard all voices.

Good racing guys! Bit sketchy in places but hey-ho! Smile

Sorry guys, that was an embarrassment on my part. Common sense says if my parents can't remember the Xbox family timer password, they shouldn't set a timer in the first place. They figured it out 10 minutes after I retired from the race after I had already started calling XBL to try to get it reset. Evil or Very Mad

Plus, my mic was destroyed itself for some reason.

I just think back to Motegi S1 where I don't think there was a single ounce of contact, not one caution in 50 laps of racing. Then we get tonight's race, which doesn't give credit to all the work you put in to run the series Bandit.

For some reason these super speedway races, except in NASCARs, just do not work. 'tegi was awesome, of imagine if people are sensible Benchmark will be fine, but Sedona could be an arse (not that I can make that anyway)

This race was better than the Season 1 race at the same track. That race was a cautionfest. Same with Indy last season.

No question it was better than S1. The problem is, is that these cars are hyper sensitive to steering inputs, this means some people are more twitchy which can cause more incidents. That coupled with Lag, and some people not listening (or not understanding) calls like "On your Inside" "No Bump drafting" etc etc.

I think it was fine, but i finished 2nd. So we'll just have to wait and see about the next rounds, I can't wait"!!

Road America should be a lot more civil.

Oval races: You do well it's a great idea. You do bad, its the most pointless thing in Forza...

Worse than a safety car - you spin w/o one and end up running 7 secs back for the next 20 laps Sleep
