Forza Beginners Club

**Firstly if this is ok to run along side the current Forza Club, Could a Mod change the title by taking Possible out**

As I have played Forza before, but Forza 1, and I wasn't very good, I would like to create a beginners club that anyone who is not that good or just wants practice before hopefully migrating to the Forza Club to take part.

Ideally we could meet up on a certain night that most people can do, the current one runs on a friday and that suits me fine but what ever is best for the majority.

It would be good to get better and then take the Official thread by storm

If any one is interested get back to me

I guess you could just send invited when everyone is online, if we said a night though, people could try and be on at some point that night i imagine we would cross paths at some time

Re: Possible Forza Beginners Club

i'm still very much a rookie at this, not played on line yet.

Sometimes get a bit over excited going for an over ambitious overtake at the moment

Mainly on in the evenings after 10pm.

Re: Possible Forza Beginners Club

Count me in. I thought I was OK but after every good race it says I am in the Top 80% on the leaderboards or there about? I use all the assists apart from braking and am going to try without them to see if that speeds me up because I see all the fast people never use them

Re: Possible Forza Beginners Club

I'm game for this, but I won't get my copy until Wednesday.

Silly fool that I am asked for it for my birthday and then twigged that I'd be two weeks late to the party. :D

Re: Forza Beginners Club

Well finally having got hold of a copy from tescos. I played quite a bit last night and did a fair few races and did alright really. 3.3% of the way through the game, and did some time trials on maple valley short, pretty good times.

As for races, just add everyone as friends if thats ok, and send invites!!

Re: Forza Beginners Club

haha watch your mouth you!

You still playing with auto brake? NOOB

I think you will find my lap time on Maple short reverse is quicker than your time and you had a better car

That pic is made worse by the fact the car flying is not me!!! I put my brakes on to see that flying in front of me!!!

Re: Forza Beginners Club

I'd be interested in a beginner's group too. I seem unable to rise above the rank of "Amateur", and just spend the race half a lap behind the big boys!
