Thanks Xpert! Wiggles... I should have known. I probably didn't realize who it was because I have him muted. If I didn't I am sure I would have heard how that was somehow my fault and not his. Oh well.

Wow, these Forza nights sure seem to have gotten heated since I last attended. I must've been the calming influence in the group...

Does anyone have video of me getting wrecked at the start of a race? I think it was mugello

Yes I could have been cleaner. I was convinced that everyone had passed, because of all the cars that had passed and I'm not used to so many racers. As such, I tried to get back on the track and get moving quickly and I unintentionally got in Zak's way. Neither here nor there, I just wasn't having fun most if he night so I don't feel it's worth my to prep for something that will end up being mostly unenjoyable. Like I said, most likely I'm done but we'll see.

That was exactly my lag all last season. It's finally cleared out. It's your connection that causes it. My basic theory:
Noise/interference on your line causes your connection to drop frames, not enough to qualify as dropping offline from XBL, or even drop out of the match, but enough for the...
FORZA AI TO TAKE OVER! The retarded AI does some crazy Sh!t when the frames drop and cars teleport from where the USER was racing, to where the AI would be racing.
It's annoying, and ruins nights. My last season was garbage because of that. Good luck with it.

Be sure to attend all possible practice nights so as to get more familiar with pack racing. The AI racelines even on professional are zero indication of how the human element approaches a corner. I was so accustomed to racing the AI that I wrecked out far too often in Season 1. I've learned how to adjust enough to let me eek by the crowd and take on my rival Interceptor.

I would like to see what happened to me in the first 10 seconds of the first lap, if you have time. I just want to know who to hold the friendly grudge against and see if it was avoidable (I can't see how it wasn't) or lag or something. Thanks!

The play-by-play:
1.) Coolhand bumps into OC.
2.) Wiggles plows into Coolhand.
3.) Interceptor gets a good hit on Coolhand while Coolhand spins out after Wiggles hit.

makes more sense now... Coolhand looked like he stopped completely on my screen....
I wonder if it was lag and whatnot from him tapping the car in front of him
