were you online? F4H Devil was kind enough to host the lobby that should have invited you. N6R Ganon and N6R Crazy got their invites from him. I'm really sorry if you were missed entirely, but we do have you listed as one who should have received an invite
I sent everyone in my qualifying lobby 2 invites, 6 guys joined from the first invite I'd sent out. We then started just a few minutes after 7pm. The first invite went out at 6:48 and the second at 6:56 BST. I also know of a few others that didn't receive their invites, could possibly of been an issue with game invites/XBL.
I even tried to set up a quick 10 minute session for N6R Zagal & rougewilson78 but they didn't appear in the lobby after 5 minutes of waiting.
My races were a disaster. Race 1, I got a great start, shooting up from 15th to 10th coming out of the 1st turn. Sadly, I locked up going into the final set of corners down the back straight and slammed into the wall.
2nd race, Again, another decent start, up to 4/5th i think, come into the first corner, round to the roundabout and BOOM!, 2 cars parked sideways, no where to go, spent the next 32 laps trying to catch up. Shame really, I could've had my best result so far.
I 2nd the call for saftey car rules. I could've at least had some good racing if there was a safety car and not 20 seconds behind the whole field from the 2nd lap of 34, it's moments like that, that make you think of just shutting the xbox off and having a good rage, instead, we should be looking at ways to stop that thought after a big pile up like that in race 2 lobby 1. We have a live timing car, why not make it the safety car also.
I was mostly impressed with the racing tonight. Definitely a tough track to race on, Race 1 was smooth. Race 2... well I think 2 people stalled at the front so we all checked up. A few pile ups happened... It happens. Munky and I got together, that wall I think leaps out and eats people
Then I hit the same wall a lap later, and I was out. We're onto Hockenheim.
I caught some of the live action last night some pretty close action but I was shocked at how close some of you were running against the wall risky stuff that didn't pay off for everyone .
A long night with not much to show for it. Finishing at all was a great achievement.
First race, came around turn 4 and found a Volvo sideways in the barrier and hit him, damaging engine and front suspension. limped eventually to a 5th place finish.
Second race, hit the inside wall ! on turn 5 (doh !) lap 11, major engine damage. limped to pits and came out in last place. clawed my way back up to 6th place and ran out of fuel on lap 33, however managed to drag the Merc across the line before 7th place man caught up.
The track was not conducive to an accident free race but if your not too bothered about the result, it could be considered as chaotic fun i suppose.
To Freheliaz, you cant save the replay on a 33 lap race in Forza 6. making any post-race investigations impossible.
To Jon, LOL !!
