So I hit the sign up and all that jazz but It doesn't say I'm actually signed up? Why does this always happen to me?

Samething seems to be happening to me Amplitude. Your not alone bud

For some reason it's only allowing sign-ups from the series description page, could you two try signing up again from here

globalsimracing.org/en/race_series/mazda_mx5/

and let me know if it works? Thanks, and apologies for the problems!

Its working from the series page but not from the home page.

This should be a dandy of a series! The car is built as close as possible to it's real world counter part; the Playboy MX-5 Cup. :)

I'm all signed up now! :)

I was just thinking the same thing, Wagon. Remember guys...only the first 16 to sign up will be guaranteed a spot every race; so don't procrastinate on this one!
Thu 06 Feb 2014, 04:45
Only 8 spots left!

I was just looking at the calender for this series and I am now official extremely excited! The tracks will be amazing in these cars, especially Road Atlanta, that race is gonna be wicked fun.

All signed up, thanks for the message MR BLONDE 27.
Looking forward to next saturday.
Quick question - "number on car" - any place/size in particular??
Cheers

There is no particular size so long as it's clearly visible. Be sure it's on the sides and back of your car. :)

This car is a bear to run fast. I'm getting terrible lift off over steer. I have never touched C Class before, anyone have any pointers?

Just ran a few laps at Laguna. Wish I could tune!! It's a bit of a beast to control.
Anyone around for some practice over the next few days?

Don't lift off! ;)

I'm not very experienced in these cars, so my only suggestion could be tunign it, you could try using donpost's tuning guide, it's made for Forza 4 but I imagine that it will be fairly easily transferable to Forza 5?

The sections with Oversteer that you guys may want to look at are:
Anti-roll bars (Balance)
Differential (deceleration)
Differential (Acceleration)

Wish we had the race suspension so I could dial the car in some more! I have to tip toe around the track, should make for a interesting race.

My tune so far is:
Tires- 25.5/26
Roll bars - 40/27
Diff - 10/0

I put in a 1:28.262 with that setup if anyone wants to give it a go. That last turn is killing me though, its so easy to scrub off mph and be 1-2 seconds off the pace with this car lol

We currently have practice lobby open if anyone wants to turn some laps with us.
Mon 17 Feb 2014, 04:44
Yeah this series is going to be wicked! BCK, KareBox and I all ran 1:32.0's in the final session!

It was also great to see 9 other guys take part in an unofficial spur of the moment practice session like that!
