Since the game doesnt provide an in-game means for club communication or announcements I thought we should have a specific thread for that (anybody care to sticky this?). Use this thread for club comms, announce events you would like to host for the club, etc. [and spread the word to members in game that this thread is here.] subscribe to it and you'll always
know whats going on and we can keep all club members in sync.

So, right then, first item: In order to give the club a little direction and opportunity to break the ice among our now 40 members I'll be kicking off the start of organized club events by hosting "FOR FUN" Tuesday nights Tuner Races.



Time: Tuesday nights, from 9PM EST(6PM PST) -- 11PM EST(8PM PST)
The challenge: Race in only club shared tuned cars.
Format: Alternating sprint races, 5 laps, 1st(odd) race choose any club car
in the appropriate class to run. 2nd(even) race we will ALL run the winners
club car of choice, next race choose any club car again, and so on, for the
2 hour duration. This could be massive fun with full participation so please
consider joining in. IF we go beyond the game capacity of 16 we will split into 2 groups, or 3groups evenly with other attending members hosting if needed.

no sign ups, just show up, join my session in progress by clicking on my gamer card in the club member menu, n race. I will also send club invites from in game when I create the session so its not necessary for everyone to friend everyone else. Some people prefer not to expand their friend list.
this way you dont have to "friend" members but have the option to.

We will start with a predefined circuit and class for each week announced here in this thread so if you want to work on a specific tune you have the time to do so, just remember to work an already shared car and "sync" it, or share a new one when youve got it dialed in to your liking. This format
should provide some variety and keep it interesting and if I'm wrong, we'll dial it in over time.

I will impose just a couple of starting guidelines:
1. please have Voice Chat capability.
We will use the in game chat channel, Ive found that running a full
game of 16 while using a separate party chat channel causes
considerable lag issues.
2. Be Respectful of others, Race Clean, abide by the 1addicts CoC.
collisions will happen, if you screw up, throw out a "my bad".
If you get hit, doesnt matter, there's another race, and theres no
tang waiting at the finish line for the winner anyway.

But if there was, I got dibs!!


UPDATE: couldnt decide on a track so we'll do majority choice and change it up through out the session.
I think that will be more fun for this type of thing anyway.

I Redid this paint job so that it could be used as a shared car, grab it from the store front etc etc. The original has vinyls that I bought so its locked ( http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...8&postcount=36) But people wanted to use this design so here is the redux.

This setup indeed does squeeze every ounce of turning grip and controlled rotation available. I raced it online last night it was competitive in R3. took one podium amidst moslers, RL M3's, and Z3 GT's. And this car, unlike alot of 1M tunes, is just alot of fun to drive hard, at least I think so.
It out launched everything I saw out there last night which is a huge plus online.

grab the specs from the club garage

also if you just want the tune for your own 1m
its on my storefront for free,

if you want just the paint job, its on my storefront
but its not free, message me and I will gift it to
any club member.

I put more time into this one than I should have but if others have fun
with it too then it was worth it. enjoy.

If you happened to try this tune out and decided it pushed like a used car salesman you were right... something got jacked up before/when I shared it, noticed it when I drove it with willizo the other night.
Its completely sorted out now, feels like an ALMS GT car agile and stable, yet no traction control needed. Apologies to those that cant yet drive the 1M's. Check the online car market place tuesday nov 1st to see if theyve unlocked it for general purchase yet.

R3 800 specs:
0-60: 2.084s
0-100: 4.807s (yea youre reading that right, 4.8 to 120kmh
top: 211mph (full downforce)
60mph - 0: 112.2ft
100mph - 0: 282.5ft
60mph Lat G's: 1.12
120mph Lat G's: 1.14

Had fun last night. Not sure what happened to my Xbox, went haywire but got it fixed today. I'm still looking for a solution for my Tritton headseat + Fanatec wheel giving feedback on the mic. I ordered a gold-plated 2.5mm audio cable, hopefully that fixes it.

*edit - Ok so the Fanatec wheel doesn't like the audio in/out. Not sure what to do to fix my feedback issues.


Good times last night with BoostedBimmer! I sent out a bunch of invites but not too many online/interested. See you guys on Tuesday night.

[jfly77]

due to lack of time on my part for unforeseen events,
and a general lack of interest anyway.
