- 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, but text to speech in my head has data corruption.
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

it all boils down two things; Main Character Syndrome and Forza is built for video gamers, not racers. Being “a racer” doesn’t necessarily mean you are fast, it means you have spacial awareness and at least a shred of respect for others.
Forza is all about being able to jump into “an automotive competition”, which ranges from real motorsport to Rocket League, and as a result you get a very wide range of people participating.
Yeah no kidding. With respect to what you are saying. This is why there is a rating system, so players who are not all that bothered can go into that lobby and those who want competitive clean racing have their own place to. Mixing them is like teaching a cave man who just discovered fire, how a computer works. It isn’t going to end well.
Another awesome video! Super appreciative of you pointing out the braking points here. It’s like a mini track guide lol. Also I joined an ACC league and now have a full blown sim racing addiction. Thanks for that lmao
Thank you for the awesome comment
Hahaha yeah I try and point out what I do. Others have noted that I do not follow the racing line, rather go my own way around the track so I do hope it provides you with a good baseline to further improve on.
ACC is amazing. I have not joined a league as of yet. I been working on getting my SA rating to 80.
What league are you in???
How does it work???
Sim racing is really addictive. Like it caught me off guard too lol.
Hey anytime lol. As long as you’re addicted to having fun this is the place to be :).
Absolutely! I joined PitSkill and it’s super fun. They have a bunch of daily races where the track changes weekly. And the have weekly leagues and championships. You have a racing license where you earn safety points and skill points too. It’s a ton of fun.

That’s sounds amazing buddy. Nice to see communities being built, encourage clean racing and providing a sense of pride with licenses and thing like that. It’s great to race with like minded people. Working together while also competing. Sounds like a blast bud
Hello there, I too really appreciate how you call out the braking points, turn in points, power on points, as I am going to try racing without the braking line on, just seems way more realistic/immersive. I also couldn't help notice that you keep ABS on, is it better to do so in forza motorsport? In previous versions of the game ABS off usually resulted in shorter baraking distances if you were good at modulating the brake pedal.
Hey there thanks for the great comment
Removing the racing line is the best thing you can do. I do have the abs on. It may be a few tenths faster with it off, having it on or off does seem to be a matter of opinion from what I have seen. To be honest I have not tried, so I cannot give you a decent opinion. I do know having traction control on ruins your lap time as it is very invasive. If you are comfortable with it off and are not locking up then I would say have it off. If you find yourself mid corner or even before the corners locking up then keep it on.
With your little incident at the bus stop. Im gonna have to put that one on you considering you dived way too late into the apex and just barely got along side. Also if you haven't already, turn the proximity arrows on they're a godsend.
Oh yeah no kidding there lol
Good driving chap. As for Watkins Glen, do yourself a favour and turn on track boundaries and do some hotlapping…you’d be surprised at how much you can gain ;)
Also lengthen your final drive ratio a smidge. I like to have it so I am at peak power at the end of the straight when not drafting anyone. You’ll always have a 5-7 more available with a draft :)
Just me 2p fella 👌🏻
Yeah I am defiantly going to have to do that. Those cars were fast. Be good to know how much abuse I can give it.
I usually do small adjustments for each race. Especially the gear ratios just to get that few mph but lately I have been a bit of a plank and just not touched anything. So you’re absolutely right bud. Honestly keep on top of me lmao. It’s all appreciated. Thankyou.
Great driving bro.
Last corner Watkins Glen keep gear 4, 150kmh coast, early power flat on it coming onto the straight using that extra track width leftside to keep in control.
Apex Syndrome is spoken true fam.
S4992 and still, 1/6 races is no holds barred. Chad's in the MG gotta win the race l1t1 you know.
Thanks buddy.
Yeah that’s a little weak spot for me. I need to dive it in just right and just get my wheel in on that kerb. As the kerb has camber it helps pull the car round. Love the track though.
Hahahaha yeah it’s stupid how our score makes little difference to the lobbies we are put in. I mean what’s the point then. Besides a little pride. Pride that then gets ruined.
Turn 1 unless I’m at the front. I back right out of and watch it all unfold lol. Get the popcorn out man.
Apex syndrome is rife and appears to be contagious in public lobbies.
Great driving on this vid, you can tell you're getting faster. Keep up the good work.
Thanks buddy seems I might be getting good at this lmfao.
Yeah I think the name fits perfectly and is becoming a huge problem. I find it more irritating than the rammers.
Thanks again bud :).
The phenomena you looking for is called "herd instinct." It happens autonomously on average people and people with less developed brains.
@@k.r.99 just spat my yoghurt out. That was so funny. Omg was not excepting that.
You’re right though. Thank for making my day right there lol
Hahahah we used to stick the trays under the back wheels , Felt like we was drifting in our shit box 1 liters....Good times
There were great times buddy. One time on a private road. My 1 litre had a tow bar. So my mate sat on a tray, rope around the toe bar and went for a drive lol. Life hack. The kfc trays lasted longer. lol
Great video flash.
Thanks buddy
Hope you are well, and having a good day
You call it "Apex Syndrome". I call it "Blue Line Fever". Best thing I ever did was turning the racing line off. If you need it you need it but I really wish people would put more effort into learning tracks.
Oooo I could not agree more. That racing line puts you in a trance. Never mind slows you down.
Yeah I think half the time people pick it up play without realising that the line is on. As it’s on by default. Crazy when you think about it.
@@Flashms They get so fixated on that line that when they rejoin the track after an off they make a beeline straight to it and end up causing even more accidents. Reporting people like that might get them to learn how to race after their timeout but actual dirty drivers need to be banned. If you want to race like that go play Forza Horizon.
@@holden4ever ooooo that drives me absolutely nuts. It’s your responsibly to rejoin a track safely. Not dive bomb 5 cars because you see a line lol.
Exactly go race in horizon. But from what I understand it can take up to an hour to use the turn 10 report system. They will no even entertain looking into it without a video. And funnily enough the replays do not work. lol
@@Flashms I record every race on a USB so I can upload them to my channel plus use them to report dirty drivers. I did one last week and a few days later they replied saying they had dealt with the player and thanked me for helping make the game better. It was pretty easy to do.
@@holden4ever that’s a good idea. I record every race but never used the report system. Like I say. I was told it was really difficult to report. If you’re saying it’s easy then there must be another way that is not commonly known. Either way though turn 10 needs to implement a better ghosting system to reduce the amount of casualties. Like if a car is plowing towards you at like 30+mph more then you should auto ghost out. Or if you are slow on the track. Like you’re doing 50 in a place where the speed is usually 100. Then you should be ghosted out. Or coming back on track. There is so much they can do to help players out. When the rammers have no chance of ramming the fun for them is ruined and they will move onto a different game.
I remember playing the British touring car championship back on the fist PlayStation, would be great if they brought that game back would buy it in an instant
I know buddy. Then they had touring cars 2. Touring cars 3 which i really enjoyed. It had rally stages. Truck racing and great physics and graphics for its time. Of course I only gave you a glimpse of the series but my gosh the cars look good sounds good and drive good. It is a real callback to the days of Toca touring cars. I did hear the btcc rights are now available to buy. So you never know. :).
Rebranded V8 Supercars for the Australia/New Zealand market.
TOCA touring cars was legendary.
@@alexbrewer3675 yeah absolutely true. That game had it all lol.
You shoulda backed out, vut the apex fever set in
It can be contagious from what I seen lol
I race in cockpit view - cannot stand chase cam.
The "proximity markers" are not up to task.
It's almost impossible to be situationally aware without a radar or spotter in your ear.
Absolutely right. I cannot stand chase came unless I’m on a controller. Cockpit view it’s very restrictive in terms of being able to see around you so that’s another level of difficulty right there. the arrows are so dated it’s not hard to update a warning system or create a radar or spotter. If everyone else is doing it why isn’t turn 10. Crazy bud.
Why does Assetto Corsa have the same icons on the lower part of the screen as GT7? Everything from the wetness level left over to the right side with the radar and switching through different stuff there is exactly the same as in GT7..... 😳🤨
Because it is a mod I have used to create my hud. I was using ACC hud then I broke it and cannot get it back, so i downloaded the next one on the list lol I explained the issue on my AC BTCC video. Was quite funny all I did was move an icon on my hud and it all disappeared lol. Try uninstalling etc just would not come back, next one on the list was GT7 and I use that hud.
@@Flashms Thanks for explaining. That sucks..... i hate it when things like these happen....
Yeah. I mean the ACC hud is great and so is the GT hud. Only issue with the gt hud is when you have a white bonnet, Then you cannot see much of the hud. Really it is good, far better than the default AC hud and it’s not too intrusive.
It's like the game is made by amateurs.
Where are the indications of cars on your left/right corner that you can't see in a game?
And track limits on that chicane are a joke. 10:38
The more stuff I see on video, the less I want to play it.
Hahahaha, wait till you hear the sound of the Hyundai touring car. 🤢
Then the rear lights on the ford focus are so bright, it looks like they are always braking.
I get the game has its faults. In reality it is a lot of fun and if worked upon it could be something great. I think turn 10 messed up big time. Know they did, and are trying to find away to fix it. While also catering to game pass longevity. Not an easy task.
If you look at some of my other races, I do have some amazing races. This really does make the game something special. Does the pros out way the cons. Really I can only say try it, be fair give it a good few hours and make your own opinion. For me though. I really do enjoy it. I just hope pointing out some of the issues, turn 10 will see this. Again I do hope lol.
Yeah you are right though the track limits on the inner loop at Watkins glen is unreal. Somehow when I mess up I go over them. Yet others seem fine. Luck isn’t on my side at that moment lol.
Nah man... dont copy Super GT that much... same intro and same thumbnails. Be original!! You will get many more viewers from that
Thanks buddy
in the guys defence, Super GT is on Gran Tursimo, if not heard about the game. it is in his username super "GT" it does not say Super "FZ" or Super "FA" but if you are so obvious, about it i would like to see you do any difrent, or ideas you would done youself.
if you havent noticed we are in 2024, alot already been used and done, how easy it is to be copied and so on. better follow up the year mate :)
@@slaastad-racing I miss the man who used to make videos about Gran Turismo using notes, he gained a voice, abandoned Gran Turismo and is no longer the same. 😢
Any ideas why they abandoned gran tourismo ???
@@slaastad-racing Super GT started his channel with Forza..... his nickname has nothing to do with Gran Turismo...... GT Sport was a big factor in getting him, where he is now (check out his video concerning the last race in GT Sport, servers were shut down at February 1st), but he isn't nailed onto GT..... he likes to play it more, that's all..... he played Forza before GT Sport and had a mix of both for several years on his channel....
Being more authentic and original is a very good tip. It does take time to find one's own authenticity though, so i am sure it will change over time. He just started and is already making quality content which is an achievement in itself already.
