Submission And Participation:

When you have verified your lap is clean and the best you can do, visit http://frs.atspace.co.uk/submit.
Fill out each field and click Submit at the bottom to complete the process.

This week's time needs to be submitted before April 30th by 11:59PM Pacific Standard Time. This is GMT -8 or -7 depending on daylight savings time.

If you encounter any issues with the submission form or process, please send a PM to Terronium-12 or Jump_Ace.

Feel free to post your best times in this thread. You can compare how you stack up with other participants throughout the week by visiting the FRS Weekly Splits Leaderboard (which can be found here: http://frs.forzaplanet.net). Also note the following:

  • You can submit only ONCE (be sure to give it your best effort)
  • Please give it your best effort as sandbagging is highly frowned upon in the Forza Planet community.

Please refer to this Time Calculator Website to properly add multiple times together (when necessary) before submitting your time.

This is a friendly competition open to drivers of all abilities, so start racing and we'll see you in the results :) 👍




FRS Point System:

We have compiled a point system for the FRS organized by division:
Below are some key points on how it works:
  • Divisional Points are as follows:
    1st Place - 8 points
    2nd Place - 7 points
    3rd Place - 6 points
    4th Place - 5 points
    5th Place - 4 points
    Participation - 2 points​
  • You get 1 point just for submitting the qualifier run and 2 points just for submitting a time for that week. The better you place for that week, the more points you will receive.
  • Your points will get reset back get 5 points total for being promoted to a higher division.
  • The points will reset every 4 months, completing a 'season'.
  • Once a season ends, the point system will reset back to week 1 using the following week's FRS combo.

Time Verification:

SPECIAL NOTE: When running your qualifier time. Please restart your session every 15 or sooner (10 to 12 laps depending on the track). FM4 will stop recording your replay after (roughly) 15 minutes. Thus, if you run your best lap after it stops recording, it won't count as you can't provide the replay.

Save your replay and keep it at least 6 weeks after submission:


  • Top 1-3 fastest times from each division will be required to submit a replay for verification
  • Any submitted time is subject to a time verification request
  • When a time verification has been requested, the concerned racer must provide a replay within 3 days
  • Failure to do so will result in the submitted time being ignored for official registration
  • Video replays are not accepted (i.e. using camera phone, camcorders, etc.)

Submitting And Verifying A Requested Replay:

If a request is made for you to supply a replay, look in the results thread for a "(Replay Required)" to appear next to your name and submitted time. You may also get a PM if a replay hasn't been promptly provided.

Many hands make little work and if you can assist the Race Stewards in verifying each others lap times, it won't go unappreciated. Follow The Guide To Managing FM4 Replays to verify another drivers submitted time.

Remember to mark whether the replay was valid or not in the results thread:

- Clean/Valid Lap

- Dirty/Invalid Lap

- DQ'd Lap (only used in the results thread by the Race Stewards)

The code to insert a flag is. Remember to wrap them in an Image Tag;

Race Stewards Comments:

Have fun tuning this week :)

Remember to keep at least two tires on the rumble strip and/or within the white lines on the tarmac. Taking a turn too fast that causes you to go into a run-off, dirt, sand, etc. will invalidate your lap.

Because the FRS is a new series, here is a quick run-down of what you need to do to participate:

  1. Run the Registry Qualifier if you haven't yet, which can be found HERE.
  2. Now load up this week's FRS Car and Track Combo. Drive your best, clean lap(s). Post your results in this thread as you progress throughout the week.
  3. Compare your splits with other participants by visiting the FRS Weekly Splits Leaderboard
  4. When you've done your best, submit your time before the above deadline using FRS Submission Form found HERE.
NOTE - Regarding week's submission form, please leave the Division section blank.

If you have any questions, please post them in the Registry Discussion Thread.

Good luck. 👍

Yes, another tuning challenge. I look forward to racing this tonight.
 
I feel like its gonna take a lot of tuning to get the understeer out of this car.

Best lap was a 2:02.524

This car is much less exciting in this game than from what I've heard/seen on the internet.
 
Pics are up! I will actually have time to drive this one a little, woot!

Quick 6 lap session with the default settings and an all HP tune to 700:

2:05.322 slowwww...time to tinker around a little.


Jerome
 
I wanted to keep it AWD to keep the car as "true" to itself as possible but when you do you dont get much room to upgrade the car in any other way. maybe a RWD swap/slicks or weight reduction will help. I'll try to change the build up and see what times I can put down.
 
Great combo! Love that track and that car :) I think you really need to use RWD; the car is faster and you eliminate some of the understeer already.
 
hmm, I may try that tomorrow.

Great combo! Love that track and that car :) I think you really need to use RWD; the car is faster and you eliminate some of the understeer already.

That, plus this car is heavy and RWD is less weight. That's really what I'm working on right now, finding which drivetrain/engine works the best. I tried the V8 but I think I would rather keep the 6.
 
2:03.150 so far. I can improve on some turns but this understeer is killing me. I'm gonna have to be flawless to improve.
 
I've decided I don't like this car at all.
Not too sure tuning works for me. :dunce:

Got a 2:05.525

I put three tunes up on my storefront if anyone wants to try them. It seems like this car really doesn't like being RWD.

Maybe I just need to find better braking points and or lines... :confused:
 
Yea, though I'm not sure how much of that is explained by me getting more used to the car/track combo over time. I may still go back and play with the AWD setup a little bit, because I didn't think to try an engine swap until I was with RWD so maybe that will change things. Is there even enough PI to connect the race engine with AWD?

And then there is the weight reduction vs no weight reduction decision for RWD build..... I think I'll be spending a lot more time in testing lol
 
I am not 100% positive but I think the race engine decreases the PI. But I fooled around with so many settings I could have had another variable in place.
 
I also changed from AWD to RWD and instantly took about 2 second off from previous time, at the moment my best time is 2:01.957

That makes me feel better, haha. Maybe, just maybe I can get around to Markve91's time.

Who has 👍 👍 and is way out of practice? This guy!
