New F class Forza Car and Livery

Mucking around in Forza last nite made a surprisingly good tune on a 2003 Focus. It goes to show I have no idea what the relevance of the number ratings for acceleration and speed are, cause this car was heaps lower in that regard to my Eclipse but it races almost a good second faster on some tracks.

I reckon this is the most fun, f-class car i've raced so far.

Forza 3 : turning laps in F class

Had a few races in F class on the weekend in the new Redfrog branded Eclipse...

Got to race against a few good racers like fellow aussie HX Dude.

Forza F class

Been racing a bit of F Class in multiplayer lately. Surprisely its a lot more competive than say A class with it being a lot more difficult to tune up a competive car. I must say though its much more of a challenge and you really have to drive the wheels off your car to get a podium place. The down side though is that its definitely not what you'd call a friendly class with quite a lot of abuse flying, complaints happening and then there's also a large selection of rammers, however, if you can find a good lobby with some like minded drivers then its an awesome experience. I was lucky enough to race with some good people last nite.

Forza 3

Ahh that Forza love is coming back!!!

Started work on the Skullboyz/Sk1llboyz (nice suggestion Scotty!) livery last nite. Man, that livery editor requires some serious patience some times!Its an awesome tool tho, and amazing that a game lets you do this sort of thing. Props to Turn 10!

Also debuted my new Redfrog S5 last nite and had some pretty cool racing. Have the car set up with a nice balance of speed and grip. Definitely not as fast as some of the other S5s out there but shes superb through the corners!

Forza Hiatus

Surprisingly, with my computer hiatus there has also been a long gap since i was last on xbox live as well. Its been pretty crazy at work of late so I can only put it down to tiredness.

Anyway, after such a long break it was great to fire up the box and take Forza 3 for a spin last nite. Its an understatement to say I felt a little rusty.

I was however stoked to check on my storefront and check out the download popularity of some of my liveries! The Redfrog livery for the Murciellago LP640 was the 11th most downloaded custom, and my 2010 Audi S4 Redfrog livery was the most downloaded livery! Needless to say I was pretty chuffed and just wanted to say a big thankyou to all those who downloaded them. Hope you are enjoying them!

Forza 3 - New DLC

Was excited to download the latest DLC car pack for Forza the other day. Two additions in particular were ones that I was excited about: The R35 GTR Skyline and the 2010 model Audi A4.
Have already converted a really useful class C racer out of the A4 and done a custom livery for it.

Forza 3 Redfrog Audi TT

Another session on Forza last nite and another car livery design. I'm beginning to think I spend more time with the livery editor than actually racing. Really liking playing around at the moment with black markings around the headlamps on my livery designs. Did up this Audi TT last nite. Definitely have a thing for Audi's at the moment... they just look really cool in their latest generation. Its tragic but i really love the lights bling that you see on the latest model 4s, 5s and R8s. Completely unecessary but it looks so cool - I kinda wish the models in the game had this same bling.

Mines R34 G.O.W livery by Peanut TN

Got some nice comments on my livery designs over the weekend from a few people and even did a custom livery exchange with Peanut TN. He did me up this Jelly Muffin personalised version of his insane Gears of War livery. Looks absolutely amazing.

I highly recommend everyone to go check out his Forza Storefront. He has some wicked designs and vinyls!

Forza 3 on the weekend

A real mixed bag of racing on Forza 3 on the weekend. Some real good groups of good clean racers, and then some other groups who think the only pedal is the accelerator and there is no need to brake for corners. Sigh...arcade style racers have a lot to answer for :)

Pulled the RS4 out of the virtual garage and did a few tuning mods and applied a new Redfrog Gen 02 livery to it. With the tune it has a bit more pace and acceleration with a bit better turn in, but it rides a little bit more slippery than the R8 and S5. Definitely a fun drive.

Took a few shots from a Sunset Pennisula race that had some cool crashes, that I was mostly lucky enough to avoid. Most of these were just racing incidents tho and should not be attributed to the arcade style drivers I mentioned above :)

Forza Custom - High Octane Racing

Fellow forza 3 gamer, Sour Deeee, messaged me to get this custom done for him, for his High Octane Racing nissan. Incorporated the idea of the assassin from this mornings daily sketch.

Forza 3 - Threading the needle

Only had a couple of races last nite, but I did have one race on the Sedona track that stood out. Started from last on the grid and made my way through the pack. Managed to steer my way through the usual turn one carnage (without a scratch no less) and then half way through lap one managed to thread the needle between crashing cars and come out the other side unscathed.

It was a very cool moment as both cars were spinning and i was able to pick asmall gap between them and shoot on through without so much as a touch - very satisfying. That took me up to third where i spent the rest of the race. Didn't have the pace to catch the leaders and never saw anyone in the rearview mirror.

Its moments of satisfaction like these that make me love this game so much.

Going Bananas on Forza

Last nite I debuted my latest Livery design on Forza 3. My Team Banana R34 GTR hit the bitumen of Road America. Needless to say that this is a little tongue in cheek. I particularly like the "How's my driving?" decal on the back.

Had a lot of fun with this one and it should be the first of a few Team Banana cars for the future. You gotta love a team of monkeys!

The latest Forza liveries

A bit more mucking around with the livery editor. My two latest creations are for the R34 Skyline GTR and the the BMW M3 GTR2. Did a bit of a skull illustration for the R34.
