maybe it'd take you down a peg or two.

or you know, you'll still continue to talk [Censored] to those people that arent as good as you are in the game.

Nope it wasnt actually and yeah i've been mouthing off i know i have but i've never said that i've been quick or a good driver and i have tried to drive a v8 S without TCS and they are such a handful no doubt about it i just think for TORA to progress and develop as a series it would be a good idea to run a no assist or lower assist series look at the Mini's around Maple Syrup they lift off oversteered more than my LMP2 car without TCS im sorry if ive come over as a complete [Censored] but i would like to see a RWD series with lower assists, i have my opinions and you have yours end of. Oh and before you accuse me of brown nosing other members why dont you learn some respect yourself before accusing others.

that way you can show me everything you know and i can become an even better driver.

how about that, sugartits?

i'd rather shoot myself thanks no offence but i'd rather team up with someone who i can have a laugh with and someone who shows respect.

lol thats not what i was trying to say...talking [Censored] is different than brown nosing...

lost in translation i guess.

Well thats how it seemed to me so i wouldnt say its lost in translation maybe and that was not talking [Censored] i was telling the truth! Anyway ive had my rant and as usual its gone no where ah well i've let off some ranting steam and ive wierdly enjoyed this

right, I personaly would like to see TCS dissalowed for the V8's, because, as I have said many times before, the stock setting on the V8 is at 100% of the diff, lowering this makes it much easier to drive.

Also, people need to stop telling themselves that they cant drive without it, the whole point of doing leagues like this is to improve your skills and become skilled enough to not use it, all it takes is some control and patience. The real problem I have with TCS is talented drivers using it to gain an adavantage on drivers who are also very talented, but dont make use of it because they don't want to, and when it comes to having to do things you dont want to do in oreder to be competitive, you have less fun.

Plus, TCS in a V8? Sweet baby Jesus, Brocky is spinning in his grave!

exactly. strong willed individuals who have opinions. sorry if i make smart ass remarks, it's just my normal defense mechanism when having a discussion with people on online forums.

i respect you as a racer, but sometimes it feels like you dont take into account other peoples deficiencies when it comes to the game.

it is VERY hard for me to drive without the TCS on powerful RWD cars, i dont have the focus to do it. period.

that being said, if we want to run the V8 championship w/o TCS because they do it like that in the real world, that'd be cool.

Ok cool i understand that i'll have you know back in the day i really struggled to keep with with the TORA elite in terms of drivers that be so i should have realised what i was saying in that way knowing how difficult it is to run without TCS so i am sorry

so yeah, you understand it's frustrating. and yeah, looking at the join dates, you've been here alot longer than i have

and i've only been playing the forza franchise for a year.

i got my 360 for christmas 08. bought forza 2 in feb of last year...

so i dont really have all that long of a time playing it, so there is still ALOT of room for improvement for me as a driver as i see it.

whoa. nascar is not stupid.

big macs are gross. no way i'd ever eat one.

Lol Nascar is a bit stupid if you think about it the ALMS for the win!

well yeah, alms is awesome.

nascar isnt stupid.

if nascar is so stupid, why is marcos ambrose doing it.

For a challenge maybe

nope.

He felt he was being bullied in V8SC (like Ambrose vs Murph accident at Bathurst '05, ''THE TRACK IS JAMMED, THE TRACK IS JAMMED!!''), and after 5 seasons got fed up, and inspired by his earlier career in Europe he decided to give NASCAR a go, and he is currently in his 5th season.

Sorry I meant the angle the pic got taken to make the wheels look worse then they are

TCS is for girls. ONLY JOKING!!!
I think leave TCS as an option in all series, but be honest with yourself, if you do not need it, don't use it! I never use traction control in any of the TORA championships because I enjoy feeding in the throttle patiently, I don't need it and I also like being on the edge of crashing.
If you are regularly qualifying for the A lobby and using TCS, you are obviously fast and maybe should give no TCS a try. I am faster without it anyway.
BUT, if you do need TCS, then don't worry what anyone thinks. Just do your thing and enjoy your racing.

Also, I love the 3 pics of the V8's above. Very sexy!
