Who's ready for the TORA Daytona 24?

I'm kinda excited to see how the lap times will be on forza 7 for this track. I wonder if it will compare to last season track times on forza 6! And lets pray that spectator mode will be updated before the event.

I just want this race to go smoothly for my two co-drivers, Cayenne and Allison. To me, they're the centerpieces of PNR - and I'll do what I can to make sure both of them perform to the best of their abilities.

@BIGBEN0913 the Ford DP build has changed to 952 PI but still says 950 in the build thread.

Just as a warning to everyone about the BMW and possibly other cars as well. I just had a bug when I installed the no plate option, and it did not properly install. I was getting 481 HP when installed which is 1 HP more than stock so it is installed just not properly. The only way I found out is looking at the telemetry.

When testing the DPs for our DP entry along with members of our GT lineup for which their car requires a handicap, there have been bugs where they have been in the correct player group but the 5% power handicap has not been applied for some unknown reason. The only way around this bug is to change a setting in the race setup so that the game reloads the race. I've only had good experiences with the way the way races are run here so I'm not expecting it to be a big issue. Just making sure people are aware of FM7s various bugs and glitches lol

Yeah, I heard about that this morning. We'll be working on a work around, but if all else fails we might have to re-adjust the BoP for the Ford, Porsche and Ferrari to not require resistors.

all you need to do is reset the game rules then it sorts its self out. its not a massive problem and the cars are nicely balanced as they are

by ESV Moshys Sat 6 Jan 2018 - 16:46

actually you just need to change the track location and change it back before the race starts

by Forza Europa Sat 6 Jan 2018 - 19:23

Yeah, there's an easy work around to avoid the bucket glitch.

#1 set up the lobby as normal with everyone in the correct power handicap group.

#2 change the track to any other track so that it loads the new location

#3 change the track back to Daytona. It acts as as sort of reset of all the lobby settings.

I believe the glitch is the game not registering that people are selecting a certain player bucket when the lobby is already set up and a player joins the lobby. So to combat this you load any other track and then load back, so far it's worked every single time for us to avoid the glitch

The business with the BMW earlier was this exact issue, the BMW build has 507 and it was stuck in a 0.95 power handicap group, 507x0.95 =481.65

So will the new 2017 BMW M6 GTLM be used in this 24 sense it was released today! Why they did not add to the release game is beyond me.

"If" It properly balances it will be added. If it is added, any GT team that wishes to use it will be allowed to swap but swaps have to be posted by tomorrow night. And any team that qualifies today in another car but swaps to the BMW will requalify on Friday.

Is the 1st quali session being started I understand there is an large update. It been 15 min pass 1 CST and haven't received an invite yet.

by **SFM Darkzer** Tue 16 Jan 2018 - 19:24

36 min to go, bud.

by Williams Seven Tue 16 Jan 2018 - 19:25

If I look for BST timezone on google it clearly tells me it's 20:25 right now, sooooooo...
Mistakes were made

by **SFM Darkzer** Tue 16 Jan 2018 - 19:33

Should say GMT. EST is GMT-5. BST is not being used currently.

by SVR NO MERCY Tue 16 Jan 2018 - 19:35

I live in the CST zone so when it said "Tuesday 8 BST" it means 1 CST in the US.

Would it be best if the M6 is not used for the Daytona round. It would be best if it takes time to make sure the BOP for the car is fair

by LZR Harmonic Wed 17 Jan 2018 - 3:52

It's fine. Multiple people have tested the car, and it falls right in line with the others.

by **Simply Law** Fri 19 Jan 2018 - 14:05

Whats the breakdown of LMP/GT for the lobbies?

by **SFM Darkzer** Sat 20 Jan 2018 - 4:14

by RW26 BLAZE Sat 20 Jan 2018 - 14:28

for the first stint, do you want the GT's to be 200ft away from the prototypes on the formation lap and wait till the roll pass

by ROSCOEpCOTRAIN Sat 20 Jan 2018 - 14:40

prototypes pass on the right side on the speedway please
GT's try and stay inside
