Welcome to the Triple Crown Endurance Championship (TCEC)! A place where us FM5 players can get a taste of what is to come in the coming months. With content updates and DLC FM5 will be changing, at the moment we will run this series with what we have and make the most of it.

*ALL CARS MUST MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS*

ASSISTS

All assists will be driver discretion with the exception of one, simulation damage will be on.

RULES

1.1- Qualifying- 6 laps at Sebring and Road Atlanta, 3 laps at Le Mans. Collisions will be off. Fastest clean lap wins pole position

1.2 Pace lap- All drivers will use the pace lap to warm up their tires. 80MPH speed limit. No collisions.
1.3 Early Accidents- If any accidents occur within the first 4 minutes of the race we will restart with no penalties issued.

1.4 Passing- All passes must be called out via headset, notifying the slower car of your position in relation to theirs.

1.5 Pit Window- Pit windows will be from 1hr-1hr 15min. All cars must pit within this window. Pit entrance and exit must be declared via headset.

1.6 Declaring avoidable contact- If you suspect you have sustained avoidable contact you and the other driver involved must record the incident via the “xbox record that” function. Accidents will be reviewed by me and another party to decide if contact was clearly avoidable. This is virtual racing, done within the limit of technology and human skill, expect some paint trading.

1.7 Teams- Anyone wishing to run with a teammate may, but you must both be in the same car

PENALTIES

Penalties given for avoidable contact will be served in the next race. Penalties given during the final race at Road Atlanta will be a deduction of 5 pts. Penalties given for Sebring and Le Mans will be served via pit penalty at the start of the race. 2nd and any other offenses will be a deduction of 5 pts.

POINTS
Driver points will be awarded based upon the number of entrants. Ex: 16 players- 1st gets 16pts 2nd gets 15 points and so on. Team Points will be awarded in the same manner then added together.

LIVERIES/CAR NUMBERS

Liveries and car numbers will be available on a first come first serve basis. Liveries and numbers taken will be listed in order on the thread at forzamotorsport.net. Liveries are not required but highly suggested but are encouraged. Numbers are required. I will have custom series plates available to those who ask. Message me on Xbox live so I can create one with your number. Plate will be shared and you can download it.

If anyone wants to be my team mate let me know. I'm a very clean and fast racer. I have chosen to use the #62 Corvette Racing ZR1, so you would have to use the same.

I'm down, let me know. My username is ecuDW.

First race is Sebring. I spent about an hour last tuning my ZR1 for that track.

Forza Horizon 2 apparently coming fall of this year.

Overflow · 02-01-2014, 02:51 PM

Hopefully it'll be better than the first Horizon.

mikeyg36 · 02-01-2014, 03:55 PM

The first one was great.

Overflow · 02-01-2014, 05:22 PM

The first one was flawed on so many levels.

For the first 30 minutes.

Every one of them is flawed.

Not as bad as Horizon. It was obvious that it wasn't made by Turn 10.

Played Forza 5 for the first time (I don't personally own an X1 yet, though I'm an avid fan of the Forza series) the other day and it wasn't quite how I expected it. The graphics were great though I kind of expected better. It was mainly the edges of the cars being lined with billions of tiny jaggies. Took all of the attention away from the beautiful car models.

The game drove like a dream though, and as much as I enjoy challenging AI, I didn't so much enjoy the AI that just rammed you off the road. Thankfully there only seemed to be 1 or 2 cars that wanted you dead per race and (as you would expect), they were never the top 3 so as long as I stayed competitive, they weren't a problem. The rumble triggers were really distracting at first but I can see the appeal for sure. I'm sure a few hours in I'd be used to it.

Overall, aside from the tiny list of cars and tracks (compared to previous entries), it looks to be another step forward for an already great racing franchise. Hopefully by the time I get an X1 there will be a version out that includes all of the DLC.

I think the rumble triggers are murdering controller battery life.

They're two completely different genres of games, obviously they're going to play differently. Horizon was an almost perfect arcade/free roam racer, all it needed was more cars, more events, and cops.
