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!

Skullboy

This is a character design i was working on last nite. Sort of a tragic white boy rapper who thinks he's black. Was planning to turn this character into a Forza livery as a kind of humorous drift racing team called Skullboyz.

Forza 3 session last nite

Had a fantastic session of Forza3 last nite.

Scotty Canuck (http://www.canuckistan.org/) set up a private party of five of us and we raced a great selection of tracks and classes. The racing was high quality and very clean. There was the occasion racing incident crash but they just added to some hilarious fun - including a four car tangle on resumption of one of our safety car incidents.

Redfrog Murcielago

Debuted the new Redfrog murcielago livery online last nite and had some pretty good racing. Put down my best A-class time on the Mugello circuit with a 1.56.

Finding now that i can't even bring myself to race the non damage modes, which is a pity because A-class is the only category with an expert mode. Would be cool to see maybe B-class and r3 done in expert as well. C'mon Turn 10, it's xmas! Grant me my wish :)

Forza 3 last nite

Had some great racing last nite in A class expert, and B class, on Forza. The competition was close and the driving was clean. Made for a greating racing session with some good driving and competitive racing. Propos to all those involved - was a heap of fun folks!

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 Photo Finish!

Racing last nite with fellow Forza 3 friends Scotty Canuck, WoundedWOWfan and a few other cameos from outside of our usual racing fraternity. Had some awesome racing. One race in particular that stood out was a race on the New York Circuit. Both Scotty and myself took S5's with custom liveries. The race was neck and neck fro the duration with Scotty and myself jostling for the lead. In the end it came down to a photo finish (we could only tell the winner from the timing results) but Scotty's V10 powerplant got him across the line a hundreth of a second before me. Sensational racing fun!!!

Forza on the weekend

Raced a bit of R3 class and A class expert in multiplayer on the weekend and I am really now subscribing to the philosophy that if you can avoid the carnage and mayhem then you don't need the fastest car to place well in the race.

I raced and R34 Mine's skyline in R3 and even tho it was totally outclassed in speed by all the ferrari's in the races, i still managed to stay fairly competitive due to avoiding all the crashes that they got involved with. Of course i still occasionally got rammed off the track but for the most part i remained competitive.

This philosphy is even more appropriate when racing A class expert (which for my mind is the best multiplayer racing on the servers) as if you can avoid the carnage then any speed disadvantage you had is quickly removed by simulation damage starting to take its toll on the other cars. This lesson is most appropriate when navigating the Amalfi Coast course. Sometimes its better to hang back out of the turn one shennanigans and then navigate your way through the carnage.

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!
