Mikey, you do realize that everyone has to have the Porsche expansion to race VIR right? I think the same goes for Homestead, the Nascar pack is needed.

That true.

They have both been on sale, twice, for $4.99. I personally Tweeted and Facebooked the discounts when they popped up. It's high time we get a chance to actually race in the DLC content we paid for.

I would imagine most American Forza racers would have bought the NASCAR pack by now, and we had some 70 American Porsche racers in last year's CJ Wilson Cayman series, so I'm sure there's enough that have the packs to fill the grid nicely.

Just making sure.

I think quite a few have one of the two packs, especially the American contingent. VIR is a very fun track, as is Homestead. I'm glad that will be Round 1, should make for some great racing!

do you actually need to have the DLC tracks if the lobby is running them? not sure how Forza servers work, but I have raced on Project Cars on tracks and in cars that I do not own because the host was running them.

Yes, unfortunately in Forza you need the packs.

Yes they've been on sale numerous times and they were given away to anyone who competed in the FRC season 1 and finished decently.

Yeah great that its back BUT where`s the UK/EU version. There was more than enough interest last season to warrant another this time round.

Unfortunately now actually Nightmare. For AI last season, there were about 3 lobbies per meeting and they filled out well whereas there was only 1 lobby per meeting of AI UK and it was barely full each week anyway. We are replacing the UK version with the SUV Cup for now and seeing what interest it pulls. If it pulls more interest than AI then it'll replace the UK version but if it falls flat on it's face then back to more AI we go.

I was hoping for a UK time based as I work 3rd shift so I can't participate in this series due to timing and if this sub series goes up in flames then what?

The SUVs are set for 8 weeks, and we'll see how it goes as it happens. Won't know much until after we try it, but its an idea that has been floating around as long as there's been a TORA.

How does the idea of having a throwback NASCAR race around the Daytona oval sound?

Very very sorry, for any inconvenience that I may have caused by not showing up these last two races when I said I would.
