GRM Forza 4 B-Spec Championship
Setting up the lobby at 8:00PM EST on Sunday December 1st. Practice will start at 8:40 or as soon as the lobby fills up. Qualifying at 8:50 and the race will start at 9:00PM EST.
We are bringing back the B Spec Championship for anyone interested. It was a great success last time so hopefully we can have a decent turnout and people will still play forza 4 after the new xbox releases.
Basically DukeOfUndersteer has already done the leg work and I'm copying from the original thread. Will update this when we get closer to the start of the series which will most likely start the week after Thanksgiving and run through Dec-Jan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rules for getting started: Pick a car from the list below and modify it EXACTLY to the specs listed and then paint it to your liking. Once you have picked a car and ran your first race you will stay in it for the rest of the series. All the cars are VERY evenly matched but some might have slight advantages that make them stronger for certain tracks.

Race Rules:
I don't think there will be much said as I respect you guys as real drivers and not the typical douche Xbox player. Full Simulation Crash Damage and Tire Wear will be on. There is no specific trans. You can run in Auto, Manual or Manual w/clutch, whatever you choose. No rough driving. Please respect your fellow driver. If you question a move, like dive bombing someone going into 10A at Road Atlanta, potentially ruining both your and your opponent's race, don't do it. No short cutting on track. We are going on the "honor system" since there is no officiating. We will be updating this area as suggestions and comments are made.
Practice and Qualifying:
We will be joining to one party and will practice for a timed heat of 10 minutes.
For Qualifying, we will be using the "Time Trials" approach, where our times will not be affected by the draft and other cars in the way as they are invisible. It will be a 10 minute session. We will record the top times and grid the field from the results.
Race:
We will take the standing start lap as our "warm up" lap to warm tires and get gridded up in our qualifying positions. At the end of the standing start lap, the race will begin via a 2x2 rolling start called out by the person on Pole.
Point System as follows:
1st - 25
2nd - 18
3rd - 15
4th - 12
5th - 10
6th - 8
7th - 6
8th - 5
9th - 4
10th - 3
11th - 2
12th - 1
Bonus point for Pole
