- 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 useful tips
My strategy is simple, stay alive at all cost. We all know Forza Motorsport can be a little dicey at times. I hope with a more passive tactic, I can swoop in and take the position. While also improving on my own skills as a 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.
Skill, balls, trail and error are key to become a better driver. For which I am looking for, but I do have trail and error down well.
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

Anyone else had a issue connection dropping since last update?
Testing my connection and everything is perfect and no other game has an issue, I'll spend 4hrs on Hell Let Loose (for example) not one single issue, go onto Forza and will definitely have issues within an hour guarantee, try another game and no issue.
???
I will pin this message for you bud, and yes I have had constantly come up poor connection, then joining a qualify I disconnect to home screen, its not been good bud
@@Flashms thank you.
I know it's not a good thing but thank god I'm not the only one.
anytime bud,
no its a pain in the backside then when I join a match and the games connection is so bad I crash to home screen, have to load up the game again, wait for shader optimisation (im on PC) then when I get back I cannot join because the lobby is closed. Really gripes me
yes constant poor connection and drop 4 out of 5 races at start of intermission sincew update. I have never had any issue with anything like this I have tried all 3 internet connections at my house and still the same result on 3 different ISPs
@@gamersplaygroundliquidm3th526 wow you got it rough there bud.
Thanks to your help I was able to get a 1:55 on daytona and placing well. Also for Le mans u can break just slightly later, same with first turn as long as u shift down a gear to get the rotation. Love your vids as always
Thanks buddy.
That’s great to hear. Such a good lap time. Yeah just need that rotation bud.
i recon, i raced Punisher once before, and he nakkered me out and many others with him. and it went worse after that, so he does not like to be passed by others. it is just pain to see him still be in he game.
the lag underpass, of the Merc, dude, i cant verdict that. without any good view, damn S10 for not making the replay work. but of the perspective, the turn seemed to be belonging to the merc, of this perspective view. from outside i belive would be difrent i dondt know. when the merc brake harder, is to take turn in to take apex. during the dive, which i belive would be the merc has the right for the apex. but i cannot verdict this at all. Forza/ s10 has to fix the replays. :(
congrats with the P3 at daytona, it is a huge win in overall for that :)
Yeah I think they are getting a name for themselves lol.
Yeah the merc was a weird one. They double braked, you can Clearly see they let off and then braked again. I dive bombed down the left and was beside them before they turned. Really none of us was in the best position. I was by their back wheel before the second brake. They turned into the apex when they had plenty of room to take it wider giving space. Then they would have had the inside of the long right handed corners. There was no need for them to run over the kerb. Clearly see the path via the tire marks.
Just looking at the slow mo part of the video.
Thanks man. That last lap was a little rough.
@@Flashms deffenetly, i reconisded the name fast.
And yea the merc is ha tricky verdict. I cannot put any at blame except forza / s10 for not fixing replays 😅
And i loved the new idea of zoominv into rear mirror focusing on whats happening behind, it keeps our eyes to always look. A good touch that was. :)
Haha yea, daytona is fun to drive only hard to enter the the main oval without loosing it 😅
@slaastad-racing well next time I race I’ll remember to stay away from that person pass them when they cannot do anything to me.
Yeah a replay would have been a great thing to see I know I took a risky dive bomb, when it works your a hero when it fails though lol. Lucky that time I guess lol.
Thanks man I am glad you like it the edit.
Did you like the slow mo replay to ?
Yeah Daytona is like that. Last leg of those tires showed how bad they can become lol
@@Flashms yea, S10 need to have that fixed asap. Because it is important replays are life savings 😂 it was risky, and if i was in same situation i might done the same, or matter in fact i have, in Iracing. When i think of it. But gladly they saw me coming, and others tried same, but that late braking in iracing is hit and run 😂
The slow mo can give better perspective pf ideas which i loved alot 😁
@@slaastad-racing no that’s when the hero turns into a something else lol. But yeah sometimes you got to risk it. For which I am becoming more competitive and not so passive. Except I racing is a case of survival lol.
Nice I’ll keep them in mind when I make future videos.
The incident with punisher looked deliberate imo, he got back on the track with no real issue, driving straight for a fraction (no grip loss ie: smoke from tires) looked in full control of his car and decided to close the gap on the right (lhe looked in contro)l as you started to pass, possibly a snap judgment by him not wanting to lose position (which worked tbh) hoping you would back out and drop back not realising he's timed it terribly.
Or he just thought f*** it and just straight up took you out.
But that's just my opinion.
Yeah more than likely, it would not have been as bad if the grass was not made out of glue and slowed you down as much as it did, but on the upside I still beat them at the end of the race. That's the golden nugget there.
How has your day been bud ?
@@Flashmsalways nice when you beat'em.
As for my day....
Confirmed I had a mini stroke today (happened last week) so just chilling out tbh.
Thanks for asking 😊
This was exactly my fault. Standard forza driver, making mistakes and wanted to penalise someone else for it…
do you think it was deliberate as well? @benclegg3124@@benclegg3124
Holy crap man, daft question but are you ok ?@@lankymk
Unreal driving, you've got some serious pace these days. No stop hards is a good tactic, you've just got to cling on for dear life on that last lap. Try it on RA next time round, ive had some wins doing it there
Thanks buddy. Glad you can see an improvement over the course of time :).
Yeah that last lap was definitely interesting lol. Try it on RA?? What do you mean bud ?? Or which track is it
@@Flashms I mean Road America. It's similar to Daytona where you get 6 good laps and then one horror show but you save about 10-15 seconds still by not pitting
@@DibDob92 oh yeah smashing around on hard tires is great there providing it’s not the full length track. With the full length the high speed corners will kill your time using hard tires.
Great video. Brave race and a good result. Could not have asked for more really.
Thanks buddy. Hope you are keeping well :).
I tried the same but really killed my tyres, so pitted just before they dropped off completely... managed a 2nd place.
The racing today has been a godsend, I'm genuinely impressed with so many players... it's been great.
Hahahahah was you in the 308 ???
You have been very lucky. Don’t tell too many people lmao. Don’t want it biting you in the butt lol
@@Flashms oh nah not then, I don't have it and refuse to buy it.
@@Flashms yeah a shit show after 🤣
@@ETRTriad lmfao. See spoke to soon buddy.
@@Flashms I did. I'm gonna try again tonight and see what happens.
You done well to get a podium finish
Thanks buddy, couldn't believe last lap lost 1 position, so close lol, but greatest bit of luck for a podium finish
I see the pit exit at daytona is blocked 😊
it sure is, its due to being resurfaced for the past 7 years lmao
Well, you made it to the end with no pit stops . . even if you were gouging tramlines into the track with your alloy wheels and throwing up sparks.
Lmfao. Gouging tramlines. Gold
Needed new alloys anyway. Had a few kerb marks on them lol.
It was a worthy experiment though. It was so hard not to pit. But Now we know lol.
I don’t think you should take any blame at all with the incident with The Punisher to be honest, you stayed wide and were more than entitled to carry on at full speed, they just took you out
Yeah, many people are saying it was deliberate, but I still got passed them and beat them in the end and that is what matters. Still that grass was awful.
Nothing I could have done as it was totally unexpected shame really.
Second race was better lol
i may have to try the hood view,to see if i can get better results than 3rd person
I prefer it. Don’t get me wrong you have such a clearer view of what is ahead in 3rd person. But in hood view, you are lower down, hear the tires better and are able to pick out points of interest far easier than in 3rd person. It is a learning curve. Give it a blast on a track that you know well. Hammer it around for 10 laps. See how you go. Time yourself to mate. See if you are any faster.
@@Flashms will probably try it in free play,,, don't want to effect my skill points,,,have today gotten back over 3000, 2 weeks ago it was down to 2100,,,and just got my S rating back today after being dropped to A saturday after taking some revenge on a rammer
That’s the best way buddy. Wow that is a drop. Being dropped to A rating for assisting karma in its glory is sometimes worth it. lol. You get an A* for assisting karma lol
I had exactly the same happen to me. Punisher was a twat for that move, he did that on purpose.
I have raced the Punisher before I am 99 percent sure, and this is not the first time, i went to overtake them and boom slapped into the shadow realm, no penalty nothing, really gripes me sometimes lol but i beat them in the end. I was hunting them down. lol
I came into your video a bit late. But if you let your car float around the corners to ease up on breaking you should get there
Yeah, I could of saved a bit more of the tires overall, To be honest i was not expecting them to degrade as much as they did, I have done medium to medium and had plenty left when the race finished, so I expected the hard's to at least be just about on moderate wear not dead. Overall hards are not really worth it, the time loss for being substantially slower in most cases is just not worth it on medium races. Which to me a huge shame, 1 set of hards should last a medium race or 2 mids, then that will create a new strategy formula for the races. As it is now, best strat is mid to mid, Although Daytona isnt a truly fair comparison due to its very short pit.
I have not been qualifying either and noticed for two weeks after not qualifying I'm always the first person after the ppl that did qualify what does that mean ? Why am I always placed in the first position after the ppl that have qualified?
I am not to sure. I find it to be random. I thought it may be going on your practice times or driver rating, but again I am not sure.
Taking 3rd in Daytona on one set of hard tires is pretty good…but don’t do it. Haha
Bahahaaah yeah it’s not the most advisable. A lot of it came down to luck I would say.
The Subaru is absolutely terrible. I put the Aero on zero for front and back and still could not keep up.
Yeah it’s not the fastest. But it is amazing on tires and thats where it excels. A buddy of mine puts us all to shame when he is in one. Always gets p1 lol. Just a totally different being that guy lol.
Oh and by the way, not sure if Forza updated the points system but I feel it’s worse than it’s ever been.
Yeah I have been seeing many people complain that this new upgrade has broken more than it has fixed. Nothing new I guess. lol.
The gulf was on a controller, he was tap steering.
Yeah more than likely. I forgot others use a controller as I am on pc I either use keyboard and mouse or wheel lol.
