NEW Long Race Lobbies Are Incredible in Forza Motorsport GT

- As a Noob to sim racing, I thought I'd share my Forza Touring Car experiences, my wins, my loses and my wtf moments. I try to explain my thought process and hopefully provide you with a learning guide or useful tips.
My strategy is simple, stay alive at all cost. We all know Forza Motorsport can be a little chaotic at times. I hope with a more passive tactic, I can swoop in and take the position. While also improving my own skills as a sim racing driver.
Track learning is key, hopefully by reviewing my race choices and my mistakes, I can help others learn and improve upon their lap times. Thus making the racing world more fun and competitive.
I am using a G920 Logitech wheel, and playing Forza Motorsport on PC using Xbox Game pass. I do not have the VIP, or cars pass, this is the basic game as available to everyone.
I do hope you all enjoy the content, Racing and Sim racing is great fun and helps you escape the harsh reality of the life.
Jump into the comments section, I always answer, look for further advice, constructive criticism and most of all fun.
Share your experience, shout out to me that you raced with me, that I beat you, or more importantly you BEAT ME.
Thankyou all for looking and watching. Be safe, Race safe and again most of all have fun.
Equipment list as basic:
*Computer
*G920

You're playing in first person without proximity arrows? You're MAD! :D
Hope car radar comes with the next update.
haahha that arrow is a load of crap lol. Also I have a mirror and headset so if you are aware of your surroundings then the arrows are not needed. Just listen and look lol. Although a good old crew chief wouldn't go a miss, being your 3rd eye. Like in ACC and other games. I would like to see the radar or crew chief come sooner rather than later, i was hoping it would come out in the last update but it didnt lol. I mean there is a mod i use for ACC and Iracing its called crew chief i mean they could implement that. Again you still have to use your own eyes and asses the situation, while the car behind must make sure it is safe to pass. When I am clearly slower i move out of the way and let them pass when its safe. Get plenty of thanks for that. While others use their car to cut their way through and even with a radar, no one expects that or can even move out of the way for that one lol.
Also I am on a wheel I tried 3rd person view and it was weird as lol. Not a fan of how restrictive the interior view is, bonnet view gelled with me and i stuck with it. If i was on controller I would use the rear end view. Being on a wheel is different
To be fair, they did greatly improve the arrows in some update. But yeah it's not enough to rely on.
Did you know you can fiddle head tracking into the game? I'd do it, but I don't have a webcam or tracker.
@BSEUNHIR no that is true. I mean any improvement is always welcome.
No I never knew that I mean I have a webcams but never knew you can track with it in this game I may have to try it out
3 tips:
1 - You can run 2 wheels on the grass at the last left hander before the run up to Flugplatz. It gives you better exit speed and you don't risk spinning on the outside curb.
2 - After the Foxhole you have the left at the top of the hill followed by a right hander. After that you should see a blue patch on the fence. Aim at that and turn in late and keep left to open up the final right hander so you can avoid using the curbs.
3 - At Bergwerk (final right hander before long uphill back straight) keep left and take a late apex. The faster you can go through that corner the better your run is up to Courage Corner.
Can't wait for the TC long races so I can try them out. Even using the TT I still suck at GT races.
Hey man its been a while :D hope you keeping well
1. OOOOOO amazing i didnt know that, forza grass scares me lol, its either made of glue or its made of ice. I am never brave enough to find out now lmfao
2. I am going to have to take a slow lap to their see if i can see that fence thats awesome thanks man.
3.Yeah thats a corner i knew I should have taken far wider but by the time i get there I forget what I was thinking the lap before lmfao. thanks man.
II will have to see what tune I am using for the TT man, and get you to try it, it feels like a TC car. Also may be worth trying the bently I drove in the video, stock its actually really good. Just a little Heavy lol
@@Flashms I'm good. Had surgery (fatty deposit removed) on my right arm 2 weeks ago so haven't been doing much Forza. All I've really done is try to get my previous Nurb/Nord times after the leaderboard wipe.
OOO man you should have said. How is your arm doing now, still sore ?
Yeah leaderboards got wiped and the sus people have set new lap times lmfao. some with really really sticky tires and the best brakes in the world setting incredible lap times lol
@@Flashms Arm all good. Pretty big scar but chicks dig scars, right?
TO right they do man, just need an awesome story to go with it and your sold man
Great vid, it‘s really fun to see you race. Very good commentary too. Great work.
Thanks buddy, much appreciated. Hope you are having a great day :D
Great race dude 😎
Thanks buddy hope you are well
They need to add a radar option instead of the arrows I always either lose time and/or position going off my line trying to give space when I didn’t need to or making contact because I thought I had more space than I did
They are looking into something like a radar used on acc and or gt7. Not sure what update they want to bring it out in though. But they have spoken about it.
Yeah I am the same as you. Giving space when not needed because I have not realised they either backed out or went farming lol.
great racing mind my friend, i hate forza but watched the whole vid cos you make it look decent. wed love to have a sensible driver like you over in the sim world!
Thanks buddy much appreciated. What do you not like about forza? If you don’t mind me asking. I did used to do iracing if that’s the sim you’re thinking of. I am tempted to renew my subscription lol
Looks good haven't tried forza in a while
Worth giving it another go buddy.
Cool vid, on your driving, you're hugging the curbs too much and it's compromising your lines and you're missing apexes and stuff, even on hards you can be way quicker if you get comfortable using all the track, atm you're kinda hanging around in the middle of the track, and by using all the track you can actually smash the curbs as long as you're hitting the apex and getting off the throttle properly
Your absolutely right there bud, 90 percent of the race tracks, you push the use of the kerbs to eeek that 0.01 lol, jumping onto the ring where using the kerb does the total opposite. Its hard to not ride on that habit and remember to stay away. Practice on that track is what I really need, Sit down one afternoon and just keep going round till I get the lines right. Seeing this is the First time the track has been used in Online racing, I am kinda rusty lol
Thanks though bud its much appreciated.
Also love the Les Paul (correct me If I am wrong, been a few years since I played lol)
@@Flashmsthere is a glitch where shifting early before the redline is faster in that bentley
@caledonianrailway1233 that still working ??? No way ahahahha thanks bud
@@Flashms somehow yes
@@Flashms I used it in that racing haven endurance championship thing over discord and so was all the other Bentley bois
Awesome video I subbed
Thanks buddy, Much appreciated and hope your having a good evening :D
Really like your videos, if I may tell what i see where you could improve on is by using more of the track width, but I know that's such a hard thing to do on the Nordschleife 😅
Thanks buddy that's much appreciated.
Your absolutely right i could have used more of the track, I am always willing to listen and learn my friend. I may have been a little overly cautious but it has been a while since i have raced the ring, so the first lap was more like a memory refresh lmfao. but yeah i need to go back to the drawing board and practice some more there to regain my own confidence there.
hope you having a great day bud
The idea is good..
The tire wear scale is not, by a lot...
If Soft last 1 (qually) Meds 2 and Hards 3... (S-S-S vs S-M vs H)
You can have 3 strategies working it out on track where the last part of the race everything unfolds...
This maybe not the right track for that, but i think you can see what i mean when it comes to tire deg in endurance..
Anyways, good drive bud👍
I do not think softs would even last a lap here man to even do a quali lol
this is the huge issue with endurance racing on longer tracks. your options are kinda limited. If they made tire wear 2x or even 1. it would give everyone a chance of racing on softs. while the people running hards could get away with never pitting. It is such a shame this was never thought of before releasing the longer races.
@@Flashms There is a way. Like you and i said, lower the tire degradation.. In a 30 minute race, the time advantage of a softer tire can challenge the no stoppers..
So i really hope T10 will revise it.
I think they will, they need to be a little more hands on with it. For the soft tire strat to work, you need to be at least 40 seconds ahead of the next tire grade to really benefit. Else they will fly past you and you have to work to overtake them again. so you want to be first in first out lol
@@Flashms I did a few tire test already.
And there is no 1 setting solution. Because it all depends on how much time you loose in the pitstop, with is different on each track.
But divide this timelos by the laptime difference and in most cases a 30 min race is sufficient to make up for the (extra) pitstop.
Where it is to strong to 1 side or another, give that side a bit of tire wear to deal with to balance it out..
18 Laps Seebring with 3x will do that for example..
yeah, I mean if tire wear was taking into consideration better then no matter what we should be able to do qualifying on any track on softs and actually last all 3 laps lol not get to the 3rd lap and minor wear comes on lmao. its such a pain. Also be cool to force tires upon you to.
Great to see long races. might have to get rid of the shiney shiney sparkling distractions though.
yeah they were great fun man, Yeah no kidding man, I was like OOOO helicopter, ahhhahHHHHHH corner lol
Done the same thing myself a few times with that chopper ...
ahhahahahahaha its just floating around and its so distracting, its like the looping coaster at Daytona I think, i cannot help but watch it do a loop lol.
Hey FM have you or anyone else sussed out the same tyre wear for multiplayer and single yet? I haven't had time to practise.
Is it X6 for example?
I am pretty sure it’s 4x or 5x. Cannot be precise but 4X seems about right and 5X seems a tiny bit to much. So it’s in between them 2 lol. All the best bud
@@Flashms cool I'll figure it out soon when i can. Gotta say tho 4 or 5x seems low. I reckon would be a good info vid for practising offline. 👍
@chilli-soup yeah man. I mean I did read somewhere it was 4x. It does seem about right. Best way to find out is find a short ish track. Send it round on softs and how far you get with softs before minor wear comes on and then doing it again in a private lobby. Should only take a few laps but 4 does seem right to me man.
@@Flashms Do a vid on it. Multiplayer tyre mediums are what, 5 laps now on 2 min tracks? Used to be shorter.
I am not to sure man, I never noticed it change, i mean it might have. I did a video a while ago about the differences between medium and hard tires but again a while ago lol
As bad as it is, using the proximity arrows is better than nothing using the hood view.
I get you bud. I use my mirror and ears as much as I can. I never see the arrows. So I have got used to not using them. 99percent of the time I have zero issue. The other 1 percent I can live with lmfao.
@@Flashms Got it. They help me at least know there's someone nearby. They don't actually help me avoid anyone - I just give what I believe is enough space and hope they don't crash into me
lmfao dont help you avoid them thats so funny, yeah its the same for me really and they should also be just as considerate but cannot have your cake and eat it i guess these days lol
Sup man i really enjoy your content, i don't know how but i wanna colab with you in some way
Hey bud
Thanks man it means a lot
I am sure when we both have a bit of spare time we can work something out. More than welcome to add me on Xbox bud
Pretty sure you can run mediums for each lap as hards dont last 2 laps and you have to pit twice anyways
Yeah that is a lesson learned there bud. Rather take a chance on hards and be slow than get it wrong and spend more time of track lol
do you still recommend this game seen many negative reviews, fan of gt7 but no ps5 so is motorsport worth it? been playing forza horizon for a while since fh2
I would recommended it if you are getting it with game pass. If you having to pay 60 plus for the game I am kinda on the fence for that one man. It has vastly improved since release but still not worth its expensive price tag
@@Flashms well I was thinking of getting it since its on sale rn, with the game pass do you mean the deluxe edition/premium or in game pass?
and as a controller game play is it fine?
@hSevven I would get the premium edition. As the extra cars are really worth it bud. Base online cars are a little short supply lol seeing it’s on deal I would get it man. It’s only getting better as a new ceo has taken over and this weeks update was an amazing step up. With game pass you just pay to upgrade to premium or deluxe. I think the premium one is the top one. Go for that one as you get vip, car pass and more so go for the most expensive before the discount lmfao.
Controller game play is just as good as if you are on a wheel man. Forza did really well at balancing the difference so you can be as fast if not faster than the wheel guys :)
Ever think of doing live streams?
I do some live streams. It’s just finding the time while juggling family life etc.
Game is great but mine stopped working properly - demands internet access when it has already successfully checked for updates and sign in to xbox servers - won't even allow free play without web access, which it has. Annoying. Once in a blue moon, I get in, but when during sessions won't update my section points and car grades,.
Wow I have not heard of have seen of that issue. I guess you done the uninstall re install and made zero difference.
I mean the only other option is messages Microsoft game support and it is a bit of a rif raf to do but they are quite helpful. I had an issue where Xbox would not load on my pc. They sent me a load of commands and it fixed it. So they are quite good in that department. Worth checking out buddy. It’s gamers (not tech support) who help you out to. Again sorry to hear your having these issue buddy. Could it be a firewall issue ??? I am wondering throwing out ideas buddy
@@Flashms Hi -= good suggestions - it USED to work flawlessly, but then decided no. Uninstall reinstall, yep. Raised MS message, yet - heard nothing
@@chrismurphy8383 I’ll have to find out what I did because I went online signed in to my email and had a direct line chat with someone from game support. So it was live chat. I would check firewall settings. Turning off any antivirus if your on pc. Xbox would not have the issue. If you are on console. Not sure if it is worth trying using an Ethernet cable or popping to a neighbours house to see if you still get the same problem. Trying to narrow it down lol.
Again the tech support I spoke to were on the Xbox website under support again it was a live chat. We fixed my issue within 10 minutes. When I get home bud I’ll try and find the link I used and I’ll put it on here for you to use. No good waiting for a response bud
I like the long races because I need the practice to be able to stay on the track.
Man You only need to do 1 lap, takes me 2 laps to catch you back up lmao
How many attempts did it take for this one given it took 50 for Le Mans
First attempt to be honest mate, spent longer choosing the car I want to drive lmfao
Bentley is such a pig... good result though
it is but it does drive really well in its base form lol
@@Flashms does drive smooth but the weight is well felt...
although it has the best presence on the track in my opinion
@fenixaster8356 oh yeah buddy. I found it drove really well sounded great but the weight can take over on the slower parts of the track. Not driven the bmw yet. What’s your opinion on it ???
@@Flashms m6 or the m8? i have pretty good tunes for both but i think the m8 has the edge...
@fenixaster8356 I was thinking of the m8. That’s the one that won I think man
They need to rethink tire use severity on long races like these.
Yeah they do. At the moment it’s 4x. Maybe reduce it 2x for these races.
@@Flashmsor even 1x and increase the laps.
That would be great.
