Had been hoping for a full lobby, and on one of my favorite tracks.

Motegi sucks with this car. Maple reverse would have been great! But we give it a go.

damn I get to chase Boss Hamster around again... seems I have been looking at his rear bumper all season

I think Maple sucks...1 line around the track and no where to pass.

Sure you pass em after they have a big wreck coming out of the pits in the middle of the racing line

My connection is fine again, but didnt test connection to forza servers yet, when I disconnected last saturday, I was disconnected from the race but not from live. Lets try an other host if it happens again. My connection was bad the whole day last saturday so I made it my fault.

Just ran a 1:57.6 with a similar setup to the one I used at road america. What's everyone else running?

Can't wait for saturday, this series has been great and I've been so aggressive in the first laps trying to build a gap towards box. The only things is he is just as aggressive. The last two races the first few laps have been nerve racking to say the least.

My vacations came to an end ( ) and i´m working till midnite ( -3GMT ), so no race for me tonight. Wish you all a great race. have fun, everybody .

Shortly after posting that I ran a ten lapper with mandatory pits against ninja and shooter and i ran a 1:56.3 that pit lanes gonna cause some trouble though.

The pit entrance is really crazy here. Good thing to practice.

In previous races, unless a driver is able to slow down enough to make the turns on the pit entrance, if the driver goes too fast and gets into the "sticky gravel," then they should pause for a three count or something (I don't recall what it was exactly) in order to replicate following the pit lane. If the speed is fast enough, one can blow through that section and cut time off the pit stop.

Brilliant... what about 50 ft into lap 4 and Xbox Live boots me with an error.

Like I thought it would be the first couple of laps were crazy, but the last 10 were intense, couldn't find my way around box. Great race, can't wait for next week even though its the last race.

P.S. @Box I don't pracitce before the race either.

Really disappointing race for me, I can't even remember the last time I disconnected from a race before today. I was hoping Mikem and I would still be neck and neck going into the final race, but it seems that just wasn't in the cards.

You are still gonna be real close because your worst result gets dropped. Don't give up, anything can happen next week.

Lobby 3 results....

GLRfivpointslow lagged out on lap 4
GLR DARK NINJA lagged out on lap 22

Hey Midnight I'm just watching the replay that lag was a real problem dude looks like all the cars have hit a brick wall.
Right Just finished watching it and I clearly finished ahead of you.
Can I please host the next race because an individual lagging isn't too much of a problem but when the host lags it's a absolute nightmare.
My connection isn't very quick I'm only running about 4 meg at best but because my ping is low I don't get any lag.

I normally have no lag, here is my connection speed and this result is lower than what I normally get in the 30 meg down range......



I don't think the lag was due to my connection, but that ping is higher than it normally is. I see all lobbies had Lag outs last night. I am more than happy to let you try all you want. Lothar make Nelly host next week just to keep everyone happy, I don't want to be to blame for anything.

Here is more like what I normally get.....

There was obviously something wrong on XBox Live last night. I almost never lag and I had never seen an "Xbox Live communication error" dialog pop up before. Three people going down in 3 different lobbies suggest bigger problems than any one host. I also had Sponge come back and brief sit on my hood (and I mean ON) on lap 3... If damage had been on I would have been destroyed on that one.

I believe it was either the xbox live or forza servers were having major issues last night. I was getting frame rate lag in our race in the chicane before the start straight.

Guys, please don't blame the host of your lobby because of lag, it is not their fault. When you are playing any game online it is a shared connection between all in the lobby. So, if you are seeing lag there is probably bad communication between servers or a poor ping connection. It is apart of the game and you just have to deal with at times. It sucks but it is nobodys fault.
