Okay, here we go - a series of voting posts to get ready for January's SL-i.net Forza Motorsport 2 Invitational.

ROUND 1!!! CLASS SELECTION!!!

Okay, this topic has been chewed up, spit out, and recycled again and again. What class will we run?

Explanation:
To the uninitiated, here are some car examples for car classes in Forza Motorsport 2 (apologies for inconsistencies, this is a general idea of car designation):
Class D: Eagle Talon / Mitsubishi Eclipse
Class C: Group B Audi Quattro
Class B: Subaru Legacy
Class A: Porsche 911
Class S: Faaaster than Porsches and Lamborghinis
Class U: supercars like the F40 Competizione
R classes: stooopid fast :grin:

In November, when we had test runs, A class races had some of my favorite cars, and some pretty big ranges of speeds and track separation. B class races were okay, and C class races were pretty close at points, depending on car and track selection. The controversy there: the "closeness" in competition was due to everyone picking mostly stock cars.

Aside from a few insane (and insanely funny) races in D class, the only other extreme we went to was the occasional R-class race. So it's probably safe to say that the R classes of vehicles will be out of the running for voting.

That leaves A, B, and C classes for voting. Which class will win the votes? You decide...

EDIT: This is our first invitational, so R-class races are still ruled out. Oh, and just in case the voter resets AGAIN, I chose to write down what the counts were:
1 vote for S class
1 vote for B class
3 votes for C class
As of 12/4/2008 at 3:04PM.

As a reminder, with the exception of the special "Legacy only" class, modifications are allowable. If class A were to win the voting this week, for example, any modified class A car can be run (or any car brought up to class A level). You would not be able to take a class A car and then modify it to become a class S or class U car, and thereby blow the whole purpose for knowing what class you should be in.

Sorry about that! I forgot to include class S in the votes. Voter reset. Vote again!

Where is class U?

We should do a s or U class with built cars, not the race cars they supply.

What?! No D class?! Haha, kidding.

Oh and for the legacy race, it would have roll cage (full weight reduction), wider tires, sport suspension and sport exhaust. At that point the only thing that can be tuned in the settings is tire pressure, but the mods support what would be a Subaru sponsored Spec class.

I ruled U class out because of the relative rarity of U class races that we had during the test runs. If I'm still able to, I can certainly throw the U class into the ring for voting - doing this may reset the vote count, however (I dunno, that's what happened to me last time).

Don't worry about additional classes. The selections you have are a good start. If you start too wide, you'll spread people too thin.

I know for a fact that I only really race with one or two cars unless specially called for, and it's not like I practice with them all that often.

I voted for the legacy only class, meaning like that spec stuff that PWT lined out just now. I still insist on my own paintjob tho! :grin:

I downloaded Motegi (I think that's the Downloaded map) and the car pack that was on sale there a few days ago with the EVO X or whatever in it. So we are doing Spec C, now, right? There's still votes coming in, although if Shane would go ahead and let me Mod this forum, I could take care of stuff like that. :smt002
