My intention was to build, tune, and paint ALL of the cars to be run in these informal races.
But screw that,.... paint them yourself.

The tune is available now as “IROC FINAL” and “IROC FINAL2”

Please keep the paint job simple, with a solid color, minimal sponsors, and place contrasting numbers centered on the hood, doors, and rear.

FORZATUNE
The first is a slight set of revisions to the existing ForzaTune6 app to keep it fresh and functional. It is currently OK, but it does need a little tweaking to make it better.

ADVANCED TUNER
The second calculator is what I’ll call the Advanced Tuner. Without going into too many details, this tuner is a ground up rebuild in my typical calculator tuning process, and includes a fairly wide selection of custom adjustability to suit the individual users personal tastes.

Want to test some cars on the default setting Advanced Tuner?

Clubs are here, multiplatform enabled.
Clubs are compatible with Your Stage (Can do legit no-practice rallying)
Engineer with low tuning level can now apply high level tunes.
Unfortunately, no tweaks to the handling of cars in Rally mode.

Any interest in testing out the Clubs feature? I'm thinking a slower class because we haven't played in a while.

Also, the last few weeks I played this game, I messed around with the arcade handling and found it quite fun. The game isn't as stressful with arcade handling, and it masks the occasional goofy handling of the "realistic" physics. Sometimes the "Caution: Jump" call-outs are actual jumps because you can go fast in a straight line and still retain control of the car in arcade mode.]]> Game Pass One Month Code http://www.infinitegarage.com/forums/discussion/213/game-pass-one-month-code Tue, 07 Nov 2017 22:14:06 +0000 Community Events and Race Series pistolpig 213@/forums/discussions

Not much wiggle room on this build so the tune should work with most builds.
I built with no rear aero, minimized front.

Driving notes:
I ran 6 laps of the ring, posted a top 10 time.
The build ran well, maybe just a hair on the loose side of full stable. The rear would power loose if you attacked too hard. Not unmanageable but drifting isn’t fast.
The rear wing might be just the trick to lock it down.
My gearing was a little tall too, I barely needed 6th. Shortening it by a couple tenths would help all-round performance, but I’d surely back the diff down to 50-60% and add the rear wing.
The front end felt a little muted at speed also, but a small tweak to caster would fix that.

Time:
Wednesday, 8/30/17, 9:00 PM CST

The Cars:
1954 Mercedez 300 SL
1954 Jaguar XK120
1961 Jaguar E-Type

The cars have very simple builds, with no tuning parts attached, so I will have the tunes hosted.

The Format:
1 Reverse lap
1 Forward Special Stage lap
1 Forward Normal lap

It works like this:
To get the time scoring to reflect a total stage time including what are essentially 3 laps in one...

1.) At the start of the race, DO NOT cross the start line

2.) We will do a reverse lap of the track as a practice lap

3.) At the end of the reverse practice lap, we will turn around and do a practice lap of the forward special stage lap, which will include a piece of track that is not normally used.

4.) At the end of the special stage practice lap, we will NOT cross the start line, but form a queue just before the start line, which we will be individually launching from in intervals.

5.) When it's your turn to launch, you will drive over the start line, beginning your first lap according to the game.

6.) Upon crossing the start line, you will do a U-turn and start your reverse lap.

7.) At the end of your reverse lap, you will cross the finish line, turn 180, and begin your forward special stage lap.

8.) At the end of your forward special stage lap, you will race past the finish line like normal, and begin your forward normal lap.

9.) At the end of your forward normal lap, and upon crossing the finish line, the game will trigger the end of lap one, giving you a total stage time of your 3 combined laps (reverse, forward special stage, forward normal stage).

10.) We will race a few tracks in this manner each night, and whomever has the lowest accrued time will be the winner.

It sounds a little complicated, but I promise you it's not that difficult. It's actually a pretty slick way to trick Forza into keeping track of a total time of bundled laps.

Liveries:
Back in the day of amateur rallying, the liveries were extremely simple.

1.) A large vinyl of your race number on both left and right sides

2.) An event vinyl - Search "EXOR Popolac" / Description "FVR50s"

3.) A registration decal - Search "EXOR Popolac / Description "FVR###" (in vinyl editor, cover up ### with your race number)

XK120 Front Bumper

E-Type Top Hood

Build Rules

1.) Start with a stock AWD rally car

2.) Add these mandatory parts:

Race Brakes
Race Springs
Race ARBs
Race Roll Cage
Race Clutch
Race Transmission
Race Differential
Street Compound Tires
Tire Width (square setup, no greater than) 245

3.) These parts are not allowed:

Adjustable Aero
Engine or Aspiration Swaps
Rim Size Changes

4.) Within the limits of (no greater than) 540 HP and (no less than) 2,300 LBS, achieve a power to weight ratio (no greater than) .200 using the following:

All Engine Parts
Weight Reduction
Driveline
Aerodynamics (non-adjustable)
Rims

Power to Weight Guidelines:

540 HP / 2,700 LBS = .200
520 HP / 2,600 LBS = .200
500 HP / 2,500 LBS = .200
480 HP / 2,400 LBS = .200
460 HP / 2,300LBS = .200

Builds That Work: all of these cars have Tire Width 245

2015 Subaru WRX STi --------- 539 hp / 2,684 lbs = .200

2014 Volkswagen Golf R ------- 533 hp / 2,661 lbs = .200

2011 Subaru WRX STi ---------- 540 hp / 2,709 lbs = .199

2010 Volkswagen Golf R -------- 528 hp / 2,627 lbs = .200

2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STi --- 540 hp / 2,695 lbs = .200

2006 Mitsubishi Evo IX MR ------ 538 hp / 2,697 lbs = .199

2004 Mitsubishi Evo VIII MR ----- 520 hp / 2,593 lbs = .200

1999 Mitsubishi Evo VI GSR ----- 533 hp / 2,652 lbs = .200

1994 Toyota Celica ST-205 ----- 520 hp / 2,591 lbs = .200

Builds With Minor Issues:

2008 Mitsubishi Evo X GSR ----- 510 hp / 2,656 lbs = .192 (not enough HP)

2005 Subaru Impreza WRX STi -- 534 hp / 2,668 lbs = .200 (Tire Width 235)

2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STi -- 527 hp / 2,647 lbs = .199 (Tire Width 225)

2003 Volkswagen Golf R32 ----- 532 hp / 2,669 lbs = .199 (Have to swap Turbo to reach HP)

1992 Ford RS Cosworth -------- 517 hp / 2,578 lbs = .200 (Tire Width 235)

1992 Lancia Delta Integrale Evo - 473 hp / 2,398 = .197 (Lacks power, very low weight)

1986 Lancia Delta S4 ---------- 481 hp / 2,401 lbs = .200 (Tire Width 225)

1985 Ford RS200 ------------- 506 hp / 2,474 lbs = .204 (Slightly too powerful stock)

1984 Peugeot T16 ------------ 467 hp / 2,333 lbs = .200 (Tire Width 235)

1983 Audi Quattro ------------ 521 hp / 2,617 lbs = .199 (Tire Width 235)

The Rules:
No assists allowed.
Full tuning is allowed.
Pit-stops are allowed, but never mandatory.
Damage will be set to cosmetic, with fuel and tire wear on.
All cars must have the series number plate on both R/L sides of the car. (see "Number Plate" section below)

Track Limits:
Every track in Forza has a solid line denoting the track limit. Almost always are the kerbs outside the track limit line. The golden rule is that at least 2 tires on the car must be on the track surface. Two example photos are shown, the first of acceptable cornering, and the second of track cutting.

ACCEPTABLE CORNERING: Two tires are still on the track surface

TRACK CUTTING: All four tires are off the track surface denoted by the solid white line

Number Plate:
A specialized number plate has been made for the series. The plate needs to be visible on both R/L side-pods of the car.
(See images above for placement)

The large open space is for your race number. The small open space is for a sponsor decal.
The plate can be found in Forza by the username: "EXOR Popolac" with a tagline of F-MAZDA.

Unless a better name is suggested, for now I'm calling it a "Curated Race Weekend"

The idea is that a car and build are arranged by the Curator.
The car is announced several days before Wednesday in case there's interest in creating liveries.
The build is announced around 8:20pm or so on Wednesday night.
Everyone has until 9pm to build, practice, and tune.
We proceed to qualify and race in some sort of format.
Each week a new curator is selected.

I envision it working as a fun filler between series.

See Results here: http://bit.ly/2oZH9ct

Car Spec:

Buick GNX

Spec details can be found here: http://bit.ly/2ojuthe

Aside from being a Buick, it conforms pretty closely to what the cars of the era would have been. Tire width and weight are really close to RL. The engine displacement is wrong and the car is probably down 100-150hp compared to the real thing since I didn't want to put it into S class and the 7.0 swap runs a carb and sounds the best.

It's a surprisingly fun build to drive.

Note:

You can build a car with 550hp that won't meet the room specs (don't ask me how but a few of us have managed to do it). Forza does a lot of rounding. Please double check that your car will be legal in a multiplayer lobby before race night.

Schedule: (all races start at 7pm PST)

April 26 - Preseason testing
May 3 - Homestead 5 lap qual 2/20 lap races
May 10 - Watkins Glen Short 3 lap qual 2/10 lap races
May 17 - Road America 3 lap qual 12 lap race
May 24 - Indy Speedway 5 lap qual 2/13 lap races
May 31 - Sonoma Short 3 lap qual TBD race
June 7 - Daytona Night 5 lap qual 40 lap race

Race Night:

Lobby Settings:

car limited to spec
TCS, ABS, damage(?) Off
Fuel and tire wear ON
Rolling Start

Race nights will consist of qualifying (no collisions, 3-5s starting intervals) and with grid order set to manual. For double race nights the second race will have its grid order determined by reversing the finishing order of the first race.

Yellow Flags:

Sometimes there's a little too much rubbing when racing. On those occasions, a yellow flag can be called.
A yellow flag requires that there be an accident which causes one or more cars to come to a complete halt (or near as can be expected).

Single car incidents due to driver error do not warrant a yellow flag.

During a yellow flag all racers must slow to a speed of 60mph and maintain an orderly single file formation while the field re-forms. On-track passing is not allowed during yellow flag laps with the exception of cars that are attempting to un-lap themselves.

Cars which have been lapped are allowed to un-lap themselves and rejoin at the rear of the field in an organized and courteous manner.

Pitstops are allowed during yellow flags and pitting cars must rejoin the at the rear of the field in an organized and courteous manner.

Lapped cars which chose to pit are not allowed to un-lap themselves and must rejoin at the rear of the field in an organized and courteous manner.

Cars that are un-lapping themselves or rejoining at the rear of the field are allowed to exceed the 60mph speed limit until they have caught up.

After the field has regrouped the race will restart when the leader next crosses the finish line.

Yellow Flags cannot be called within 3 laps of the finish.

Please review the Rules of Clean Racing. While not everything is relevant to Forza, it provides a good basis for courteous and clean racing .

Remember, the race isn't won in the first corner! That being said, sometimes things happen and restart may be called if there are a significant number of cars involved in a first lap incident.

Points:

Pos.	Points
1	175
2	170
3	165
4	160
5	155
6	150
7	146
8	142
9	138
10	134

Full points progression is available on the Results spreadsheet.

Points are awarded down to 20th place and the points structure reflects how points were awarded during the early Winston Cup era. Full points will be awarded for each race. Race nights with a single race are awarded double points (Road America, Daytona Night).

5 bonus points will be awarded for each of the following items:

Pole position
fastest certified lap
fastest non-certified lap

Liveries

Please have a livery on race night. It can be something from the storefront or an original creation. Bonus karma points for having a livery which looks period appropriate.

Livery Requirements:

If you're making an original livery make sure you have your race number on both the driver and passenger side doors as well as the roof.
I've created a contingency vinyl package:

All the sponsors on the door and front quarter panel are up in the storefront as a complete set (minus the Goodyear logo which is a manufacturer logo). You'll need both IGNASCAR and ignascarL. Search my gamertag RenoWrench and you should be able to find them (YMMV because Forza search really sucks)

Feel free to run more sponsors or various combinations of these sponsors. I know there are a bunch of them in the storefront.

Additional livery resources/inspiration:

This site has a lot of pics from the era, even though it is possibly the worst site to navigate in the history of the internet: http://www.carsandracingstuff.com/library/subjects/stockcarracing.php
