S7 Forza 3 E-Class Tourney - Season 3

S7 Forza 3 E-Class Tourney - Season 3

Well, we are off to a good start! The season premier event was a great success with a turnout of 10 people! We had many of the usual suspects as well as some new comers. We continue to grow and pick up new members in this very successful team game. I am proud to be a part of it and thank everyone who helps out and participates.

Forza News -

Last week we got together for the first event of the season. It was VERY intense all night and came right down to the end. Wiggles and I were locked in an epic dual up to race 6 when a few unfortunate events put me out of the race and I finished dead last giving Wiggle the point lead needed to take the top spot for the night (and his first overall will in the Championship Series, Congratz!). Wiggles has been on a hot streak lately in the Late Night Series and it seem to be spilling over here as well. Despite some problems, I still ended up finishing 2nd for the night but I really had to fight for it. And speaking of fighting for position, Epic and Sticky ended up tied for 3rd and will both be awarded 3rd place points for the event. New comer Chippy continued to show improvement and finished 5th followed by Kenny in 6th and Coolhand in 7th. Newcomer Pooty did qualify for the night but due to connection issues with me was not able to participate, which is a real shame because he had one of the top qualifying times. Hopefully these issues will be resolved by the next Tourney. I have a feeling he could be a real contender for the podium. He did receive 8th place points by default so it was not a total loss and OC showed up but unfortunately did not qualify. Overall Standings are as follows...

Wiggles - 10pts
Interseptor - 8pts
Epic - 7pts
Sticky - 7pts
Chippy - 5pts
Kenny - 4pts
Coolhand - 3pts
Pooty - 2pts
OC - 1pts

Well that wraps up the news, now on to the next event. It should be very exciting to see where this season takes us.

So, without further delay, I am proud to present the S7 Forza 3 E-Class Tourney - Season 3. We are off to a good start and ready to roll. It's time to get to work and start building/tuning your E-Class Cars. You have a little more wiggle room this time and more car options but it will still come down to the drivers who are the most prepared. Drivers will have till Thursday, April 14 to build, tune and test their cars at which point we will meet up and see who has what it takes to win. Get a solid car and start practicing those tracks.

The rules are pretty simple and as follows:

This is a Championship Tourney so the event will be 7 races.

Date: Thursday April 14, 2011
Time: Qualifying starts at 8:30pm sharp Eastern Time (if necessary)
Car Class: E-Class

The winner will be decided by points base on where you finish each track. The person with the most points will be the E-Class Champion for Season 3. Your overall placement will go towards your season standing.

Dunno, thought it said the March 31st earlier, oh well. I was on my phoen so either was on the wrong page or misread small text. It is on April 14th.

LOL! I still don't know what you are talking about. That was a completely different edit that had nothing to do with changing the date. Your crazy!

bought a racing wheel today - open box discount at BestBuy - $85, may have found something better online but it was an impulse buy. Bout to try it out, it has the pedals too, I feel like a little kid with a new toy

So we have all sorts of teams forming now eh?

Grown Ass Man Racing - Chippy (only if his mom is cool with it)
Angry Hippo Racing - OC (where did that one come from?)

i'll post stats in a little... been running around all day sorry

Last night was great fun. Disappointed with 4th, but meh. I raced like crap on the NY track. Two unlucky races, Mugello, i'm pretty certain I would've won, had kenny not driven back onto the racing line as I was coming past. Suzuka was an odd one, connection quality costing me, lol...Then Sticky's race win sealed the deal.

Was pretty pleased with my racing but I need to figure out where the 0.5s - 1s gap Zak pulls on me per lap is. My current theory is corner traction and my tendency for wheelspin. I think i'm fairly even with wiggles but he's got the consistency. Not bad though, to say I only really play Forza on the race nights. The rest of my time is split between GT5 and F1 2010.

Some very close racing, all throughout the field. Pretty clean stuff too, the overtakes were nice and professional, cutting up the inside, defending the racing line, waiting for an opportunity, rather than forcing it. Good stuff. Looing forward to the next one.

Grats to Sticky and Kenny on their first career FCS Wins

The car I wanted to drive... but only did once i think
