Forza 2 car club official club races: When suits you best?

We've run 3 official races now, and had a laugh in all of them (well, I have anyways, apart from that stupid Jaguar! Only myself to blame). I know not everyone is available all the time, so I wanted to see when people are available and when suits them best.

I've laid out 11 possible options for times when we could run races - if you're generally free and want to play at that time, tick the box and vote. You can vote for as many options as you want, as many options as suits you.

I'll choose the clear winner(s) and set up the majority of races to run at those times so it suits most members. As always, comment welcome if I've missed something obvious!

Cheers,
Munkey

Re: Forza 2 car club official club races: When suits you best?

Well most of the times actually suit but I voted my most preferred, perhaps a counter-poll is in order as well for days/times that absolutely cannot be made then pick the least affected? (e.g. I could not attend any of the Thursday night times because of the Slimming group I attend on Thursday (don't laugh... it works... lost just over 5 1/2 stone in just over a year and so not going to miss (mess?) up for Forza races no matter how much fun)).

It's a good point - maybe once the poll has run for a while I'll take the top suggestions and see if there are any objections.

Re: Forza 2 car club official club races: When suits you best?

made my picks, Friday 9, Saturday 9, Sunday 7.

im usually busy during days on friday and saturday and free evenings but sunday is rest day no matter what so can do any time really but prefer 7 or later as sunday once and awhile we go see grampa early on. can do some weekdays but im sure most ppl are either busy or just tired after work.

also i see sunday has most votes, does the rooms have to be raced at the same time or can you have say 1 room at 4 and other at 7?

Re: Forza 2 car club official club races: When suits you best?

I promise I'm not being an arse but can't really vote as I work shifts so don't mind which day/time is most popular. Unfortunately, the curse of shifts is the inability to commit to a regular day/time. Sorry

Thanks pal!

Great to lose the weight but not fun for having to keep buying a new wardrobe *rotf* Have a place in the semi-finals/finals of slimmer of the year this Sunday so have to go out again and buy some snug clothes ay!

Keep thinking of trying to do a car design (back on topic... sort of) with a motto like 'Happy to be a loser" *rotf*

Ah, no worries, not having a pop, I just think some people have forgotten about us! No problem with people dipping in and out though, it's meant to be flexible

Just so you know Munkey, I certainly haven't forgotten about the club

I just haven't been able to make any of the dates so far, for one reason or the other. Really looking forward to getting some races in against you guys... before you all get TOO good!!!

I'm in the same boat, but if they are at 7pm, I'll only miss the odd one when I'm backshift, So I picked all the 7pm's
