I came here to read up all about the up coming race and think I've found the tec page instead.

Shut up Beanz... Hilarious

ps. You'll have to talk me through port triggering Saturday before the race.

Who are the lobby hosts for each stint?

Any news on if the lobbies will be set / random / In current position order?

Depending on how fast the live timing is updated I'm sure you could set lobbies up to get some really great on track battles

by **CQR Aero** Fri 29 Jun 2012 - 0:28

Lobbies will be set based on qualifying position (fastest team member per car, so the grid will not be set until after the last qualy session). There is some "slack" or space in each race lobby in case of connection issues, we will be able to swap someone over for a stint if necessary. Lobby hosts will be announced later. It depends on who qualifies where in some respects, but we have a general plan of action at the moment.

by RoflMaiWafflez Fri 29 Jun 2012 - 1:10

So it's sorted by team quali instead of driver? Will we have the chance of racing other teams or is it the same teams in every stint?

by Hailfire97x Fri 29 Jun 2012 - 1:28

Hmmm...that Viper's got a few tricks up its sleeve yet...

Does that apply to all stints or only first one?

by RoflMaiWafflez Fri 29 Jun 2012 - 3:25

Or even just at the 12 hour mark do it so the top X of each class are together with the bottom X with their class. I was gutted I couldn't see the ATR / Audi guys last time

by theboomeranga Fri 29 Jun 2012 - 3:59

Anyone interested in a 2 hr race in 23 hrs? That's 8 am for me, if it doesn't work for others I'll try earlier but doubt I can. My sister had Netball in the morning but I won't have to go (hopefully) so I'll run it then, either post in Below or PM me,
Cheers guys

by theboomeranga Fri 29 Jun 2012 - 5:19

So wish our track looked this good :/ at least the cars sound and look better, but c'mon turn 10, please give us a more realistic Le mans, agree?

sarcastic or serious?

FM4 looks sooo much better

by theboomeranga Fri 29 Jun 2012 - 5:43

Well, i dont know, I live forza's, but after watching Le mans, GT's looks better, I just think in Forza it's a bit too bright (the road) in GT, it's a bit darker

by XPR Roadrunner Fri 29 Jun 2012 - 5:46

if you look at it from a drivers perspective, light is going to reflect off the surface and make it seem brighter. GT's version is pixelated and half the stuff in the background isn't there, and the car detail is crappy.

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Fri 29 Jun 2012 - 6:35

Hmm... just a thinking out loud moment. The 93 Viper has had some commit issues from the driver's lineup, and now the 92 is starting to suffer the same issue. I wonder what the deadline is for Hailfire Oreca to condense the lineup to one car from two?

You may think or know your NAT settings to be open, BUT, if you haven't checked since the Dashboard Update its worth looking as this update changed some peoples NAT settings.

So, as a result PLEASE can all the below do the following, as it may be you that can't join Race day!!:

Drake Hellspawn
ATR DAN
CMGraphix
Racert46
AAR ABEnstein
cornwinMB
ALL MAX RPM
F4H Diablo
F4H Koenigsegg
BG Beanz
AngelKristensen
mandown46
GRT 458Italia
BG Hainesy

power on xbox and go online and sign in
Press xbox guide button
got to settings / system settings / click on your connection
Then click "Test Xbox Live Connection"

If your NAT is moderate or strict this will tell you. Otherwise everything will have a tick ;O)

I checked again and my settings are still open.

bump - hope I am in the lobby i was in for qualifying - good group of guys in that one.... to bad lap times weren't close enough, i saw a bunch of 25's 26's and 27's in the unicef car's session. I didn't watch the whole thing so i dont know what the outcome was. I just hope my team gets where they need to be on time Very Happy

Any answer?

It's your team, you post when you know. Have you really lost that many drivers then? Please don't bump someone and leave them in the lurch. If you have; sooner rather than later is best for letting us know.
