Re: AVForums Forza 2 Car Club: Official Race Sign-up (Sun June 10 1830)

Anyone know if this TruSkill rating thingy can account for what car your driving Vs the opposition? or is it purely on finishing postition regardless of the car being driven?

e.g. a higher rating for someone coming 3rd in a slower car in a field of faster ones.

It is just going to be any stock D class hatchback, but me and MunkeyBoy should have the tracks picked by Saturday.

I presume so which is a bit of a shame, if it is the case maybe it would be better to totally even the field and all race the same car?

Either way im sure we will have some fun.

I haven't worked out how to do that using the TrueSkill calculator yet I'm afraid. It's just about placings. The idea of having a theme around each official race means that it should be a pretty level playing field in terms of car performance anyway. This could change in the future, but it's early days yet.

It's just for the first week, each set of racing will have a different theme, it just happens that for this first one it's untuned only. Should be a tight field anyway!

Re: AVForums Forza 2 Car Club: Official Race Sign-up (Sun June 10 1830)

Yeah i figured it would be that way Munkey Boy and as you say it should give some close racing. Not sure what car i will be using, starting with the Golf GTi mkII but im going to tune that from the start, might pick something a bit different from what i normally would for a change.

Now i must remember not to drink to much saturday night as i don't want the forza police to do me for drink driving.

I have a Golf GTi MK5 tuned to its max, its my favourite car at the moment. It goes like a bloody rocket but with all the assists off it’s a real handful especially under heavy braking.
