Hello guys, Events Update

Hello, I have had a number of requests over the past couple of weeks asking me to slow down a little with the events because people are finding it hard to find time to tune 2 cars and learn 2 or more tracks, SO i have decided we are only going to run sunday events from not until near future.

This isnt set in stone and is open to discussion

But at least for the next 2 months we are going to run the Ford Escort Events on a sunday at 5 and not on a saturday at 9.

Please leave comments guys.

This is fine by me, as I have exams coming up I'll barely have time to learn the 1 track, let alone 2!

With it being on a Sunday afternoon I may have work as I've just got a job and with my connection lagging me out all the time I may have to withdraw from the series, as I see no point racing if I'm gonna get kicked out halfway through each race.

I'll give it a go and if I still get a lot of greif then I'll pull out until the next series

What i would advise is speaking to your dad and seeing if you can have your Xbox wired, you can get like 20m - 50m ethernet cables which would help your connection a hell of alot.

My connection wouldn't be half as good as yours connected the same way

I would do but I know that I would still get the same problem, we have some sort of an electrical problem that means our internet connection and digital TV get a build up of static that is released all at once when the heating comes on, that downs the internet and TV for anything up to a minute. Very frustrating and my dad want to try fixing it himself. I agree that it may help a little but I'd still be getting kicked out of games every Sunday

Sunday at five means ill be more then likely not able to attend, don't usually get home till 6/6.30 from the racing

As a member who does not get on Forza as much as i would like, i do find that if i sign up for Saturday and Sunday events it can be a struggle to tune the cars for the Saturday event and then tune for two tracks on a Sunday. Also as i'm not the best driver around i need to put in a lot of practice if i want to be half competitive.

The problem is if we drop the Saturday events will we loose any members and the same if we drop the Sunday events.

If we keep both nights i suggest we only run one track per night so people have more time to prepare for the race. Also why don't we have a poll to see when the members of CCRO would like to race and at what time to start.

Andy i appreciate the time and effort you put into the events/CCRO and i know its not easy to please everyone.These are just a few ideas.

Hey all, it would be a shame to lose the Saturday events, but understand it is hard to tune and practise for 2 or 3 tracks, I know myself I have had limited time to practice for some races, but luckily some have turned out to be good results, probably because I wasn't expecting much.

I agree with Sams idea of only running one track per event, if people are finding it difficult practicing 2 tracks for an event. The BTCC & Mini events worked really well on the same track, by having 2 or 3 races (as we're doing with the cossies), as it always gives you a chance to redeem yourself if you had an accident or bad race.

Though would be a shame not to have 2 tracks per weekend event, as the Grand Am was so darn good.

I will get a post up tomorrow including a poll

Times to vote for will be

Saturday at 5pm or 9pm

or Sunday at 5pm or 9pm

If it goes to a 9pm vote on any days then I'm out...it's just too late for me here.

I find in the spring/summer Sunday (anytime) works best for me.

I thought you'd say that, cant blame you. Be a shame for you to go

Well Phobes I'll still be a part of CCRO and will keep up with the forum but I just can't start racing at 4am every Sunday. We'll see how the vote goes!
