    Default Forza 3 ALMS series

    Shoot me a friend request: AFSil80

    A few friends and I have begun our own version of P1 ALMS and GT2 class racing. Private lobby, so we can weed out the garbage and get in some good, close racing.

    There are a few rules, of course.

    - Microphone is REQUIRED to play, since we expect driver courtesy and communication when passing, especially when negotiating lapped traffic.
    - No TCS or STM, forced manual transmission. ABS can be chosen at your leisure.
    - We only run tracks that the ALMS cars race on, however, be ready for LeMans and Nurburgring. Otherwise, plan on the regulars like Road America, Sebring, and Road Atlanta, etc.
    - Be ready to do at least 6 laps. This guarantees that the lead Prototypes will encounter GT traffic. This is what really makes multi-class racing exciting!
    - We run full damage, and hold cautions. If someone wrecks (and I don't mean just spinning in a turn), the entire field slows down. We're all about everyone finishing and getting some $$/XP.
    - 4 in each class, MAX. 4 R1(P1/P2) cars, 4 R3(GT2) class cars.
    - As it stands, the R1 cars must remain stock with the restrictor plates intact. We're still ironing out the R3 class. The Panoz must stay stock, Porsche GT3 RS-R can ditch the restrictors, but check back here for updates anyways.
    - If someone wants to choose a P2 class (since it is in R1), that is their choice. The restrictors must stay on. As we found out, the Mazda has a ridiculous advantage with them removed.
    - No restrictions on tuning setups. Be careful when downloading a tune from the storefront, b/c some of them require illegal parts.
    - CAR MUST HAVE A LEGIT RACE LIVERY.
    - First place GT car ALWAYS starts the end-race timer. This ensures a fair shot for the GT guys at getting money and rank points.

    Now as far as our 'schedule,' it really just depends on how often we're on. For those who start playing, I'm sure you'll add another person or two out of our regular group, so I won't always be on there to host.

    If you aren't used to running a clean lap with little to no assists, I suggest honing your skills first so you don't get left behind, or ruin anyone else's shot at a victory.

    I hope to race with some of y'all soon.

    Off the top of my head:

    Current ALMS P1 (R1) cars include the following:
    Aston Martin Lola - #007 ONLY.
    - Stock
    Audi R15 TDi - #2 ONLY.
    - Stock
    Audi R10 TDi - #2 and #8 ONLY.
    - Stock
    Peugeot 908 - #8 and #9 ONLY.
    - Stock
    Acura ARX-02a - #66 ONLY.
    - Stock

    optional P2 cars...
    Mazda Lola B06
    Acura ARX-01b
    Porsche RS Spyder

    Current ALMS GT2 (R3) cars include:
    Porsche GT3 RS-R (997) - #45 and #80 only.
    - Remove restrictor plates ONLY. Stock brakes.
    Panoz Esperante GTLM - #51 and #81 only.
    - MUST REMAIN STOCK
    Ferrari F430GT - #71, #90, #62 only.
    - mods pending
    BMW M3 GT2 (E92) - #92 only.
    - mods pending
    Dodge Viper Competition Coupe - #11 only.
    - mods pending

    Now, MOST of those cars in the game have the paint scheme from the 2008 or 2009 season. I've got a few additional liveries for my Porsche, since the #45 Flying Lizard car is the default paint and someone may want to use it. There's also a few liveries out there for the #66 Acura ARX-02a, such as Patron/Highcroft Racing.

    Now as far as where one would start...most of the time, we allow people to pick and choose what class they want to run. Some folks actually have an easier time driving prototypes since they turn on a dime and have ridiculous amounts of grip (with proper throttle control). Regardless of who races what, we will always have the field split with 4 prototypes and 4 GT cars, just to ensure the challenge.

    Sounds good! I've got 2 tests this week, so the earliest I'll be on is Thursday/Friday. Oh, and if you're sending me a friend request, PLEASE IDENTIFY YOURSELF.

    Tried this out, tuned up a RS-R and these things are slow as shit without TCS, you have to go so fucking slow in and out of turns just to keep from sliding out.

    It's def. a challenge. This is why I said that the Prototypes usually have better grip during cornering as long as you exercise proper throttle control.

    I raced a GT3 RS-R after racing with the R15 TDi, and I went off the track numerous times. It definitely takes some getting used to. This first night of racing will be interesting, to say the least.

    Oh I have gotten down to controlable. But I just dont like this whole slowing down thing. With TCS on I could blow through most of these turns. A bit more tuning and I will be happy enough with it to really race.

    Nope, has to be a ALMS car. Basically he's setting up an IA version of the LeMan's Races. So every car that comes in has to be a true real world LeMan's Car!

    What he said. Looking to 'keep it real' hahaha. However, we may try to expand and see if the Ford GT can be upgraded within reason. The problem you run into with that is people get a little free-spirited and we'll get some jerk in there with a turbo'ed unit on street tires that annihilates people in the straights.

    Oh, forgot another GT2 car: Viper Competition Coupe.

    I'll have to do some testing with it to see if it needs upgrades in order to stay competitive. I'll come out with a complete list of allowable upgrades to the GT2 cars so we can keep it competitive. I can tell you right now that the Panoz GTLM will always stay stock. That car is a threat with a decent driver at the helm.

    I'm not familiar with the car, but having read your other post, don't forget that all cars will have the RWD layout. I don't know if it's possible to AWD swap the Viper CC, but we'll get it ironed out. Like I said, I'll need a night to sort out the cars and come up with a way to keep the playing field level, without making it seem like a Spec-series race.

    Hey dont hate on the AWD CC that thing is a turning beast! But yeah I agree, it would be completely unfair lol

    But still iron those kinks out that car RWD is not all that bad, and I can tune it enough to keep it in check in the corners.

    awd has a distinct advantage but it's really a drivers game. I have an NSX that is a beast. I like to race in the RWD room until I feel like hurting the feelings of some S5 driver with a purchased tune. the Ford GT, in AWD format, is a force to be reckoned with. all this talk has got me wanting to play. If anyone is on request me JR2Lo4FatHo. I'm going to be on for a hour or so

    Shitty driving? Dont be mad that I am better than you at the game. Not my fault that I use what the game provides. AWD make for better turning/handling cars therefore I will use them. Not to say I dont have some RWD cars.

    You may want to get used to this RWD w/out TCS. I have a feeling you're gonna get your feelings hurt, hahaha.

    Yeah, ALMS GT2 cars (R3) and ALMS P1/P2 cars (R1). No TCS, or STM. ABS optional, forced manual transmission. Full collisions and damage.

    It will be hard to change back and forth between P1 and GT2 cars in the same night, but I encourage people to get used to driving both.
