Leaderboard cars = less than fun typically, but that's just me. And since I won't be there then I say more power to ya.

I agree. That's why I picked trucks last week. It would be fun to come up with a theme or just a single model to use. When you run leaderboard cars, there's not much parity.

We could even go with a slower class and make up for it by doing short tracks, if you want to save some money.

At the very least, I'd say pick a drivetrain type and class, and if you want to add more criteria, come up with anything else you want. Like "only French cars" or "only cars from the 80s" or something.

well downgrading to B or C is also welcome. I don't see how a leaderboard car is less entertaining than another car, as long as everyone's driving a car with similar time. much more like a spec race to me.

Ok this week's pick is the 1998 Chrysler Eagle Talon TSi Turbo @ C425. it's only $5,000 and with mods to get to C425 about maybe 25-30k max.

Seems so..with a pre-holiday launch and Modern Warfare 2, Borderlands, and Assassin's Creed2 all out in less than a month it seems that Forza loyalty is down.

is this the sad state of AT FM3 racing after less than a month?

This happened last year as well during the holiday season. It will pick up again in January. People traveling and busy doing family things right now. Don't take it personal, only Kabob should do that. Nobody likes him. :sneaky:

BTW I will be working on paint for our Fiat soccer car. I bought one for everyone last night and they should be gifted by game time. I'm also working on paint for the Cayenne player's car(sorry not supplying the car on this one!) which should be ready for next week.

Chorb you have a PM!

red ring of death...

Can I fix this myself or do I have to get another console?

if it's 3 red lights and it was purchased less than three years ago, MS will replace it for free.

i don't like much about MS, but don't let anyone tell you they're not doing a great job with warranty coverage and quick repairs (less their atrociously worthless phone support people). even if you don't have the three red lights or are out of warranty on a different issue, it doesn't hurt to call, they do make exceptions sometimes. i had a friend get a hardware failure without the three lights (two year old console) and he had a new console in two weeks.

3 red lights but it's 3.5 years old. I guess I can't buy the board and put it in myself?

i'd just buy a new arcade, honestly. MS might fix it for half that cost, but it doesn't carry much of a warranty, iirc.

Last night was truly disappointing as I have to work today and was really looking forward to racing. I gifted out almost all the soccer ball cars(I have a custom tune to go with them that seems to work well if you want it), and I have the 2 Cayenne liveries all finished, a red/white Team Brembo, and a yellow/black Team BFGoodrich. We need to decide if we are going to continue playing on whether they need to stay stock or we are going to have a "soccer tune" for the Cayennes. Famous showed up about 7:30 PST, but that was all so we didn't race. I stayed up til 2AM playing tag in the new multiplayer hopper....
