DP car club for Forza?

[davidbrit2]

So it seems Forza Motorsport lets you create "car clubs", which seem to work like clans or teams or whatever. You need at least 4 people in the club to post times on the records list. How about it? Anybody else up for a DP club?

I'm picking up the game today so count me in.

[Mac-Abre]

I'm in. AWD Euro speedsters all the way, baby! Take those rear-wheel American deathtraps and stick them up your tailpipe! :P

[davidbrit2]

Alright, the "Digital Press" club is created. I'm not sure if I need your gamer tags to add you, or how it works, but we'll figure it out I guess. Heh.

[Mac-Abre]

Master Macabre - did a friend request to both of you already.

[tholly]

i will be picking this game up in the summer most likely, so you can count me in once i get it...it looks like an amazing racer

[jgenotte]

My tag is in my sig.

[davidbrit2]

Alright, I've sent club invites to applicable gamertags, and now I think you guys have to go to the club menu and specifically join. Then we will need but one more member to leave our mark on the ranking pages. Heh.

Okay, invitation sent. You'll put us up to 4, and we'll have public stat rankings for the club then. Whoo. I'm pretty much just setting anybody as a recruiter so we can add anybody else that wants in. So don't be shy to ask. Heh.

I'm picking up this game tonight. I have no preconceived notions, so it won't be as huge a disappointment as Gran Turismo 4 was.

This'll be the game that prompts me to get Live. The clan idea sounds like fun.

[s1lence]

I'm going to have to change the controller set ups, its the gas and brake are is the places I'm used to shfit. Granted I jumped right into LIVE instead of trying it offline.

[davidbrit2]

Okay, I just picked up a comm headset today so we can actually talk during races. Heh.

And yes, Macabre, I've been stalking you a bit already. ;-)

[s1lence]

Yeah the headsets make it alot easier.

i wanna get this game, but i have a few questions: can you take your single player car and race it on xbl? and can you upgrade that same car with new parts and use it on xbl also?

I picked the game up yesterday, more fun than GT 4. Let me join your Club. My gamertag is spaceFarmer.

Yes and yes. You can take your career mode car online, and it retains all upgrades and whatnot. The game assigns the cars different class rankings (D2, A4, S, etc.) based on upgrades, so you can do online career mode races which are limited to a specific class. It keeps the game very flexible, and still very competitive at the same time. I'm think you can also do online races with no class restrictions at all if you feel like pitting a Miata up against some GT monster.

Oh, and you even earn money when doing online career mode matches. You can win a TON of money doing that if it's a big group doing a decent length race. I think I pulled in like 24K for a first place last night.

Basically, the demo version really didn't do the game justice at all, and that seems to be the consensus over on the XBox forums, too. So we're all glad that we went ahead and got the game anyway despite the lackluster preview. Ha ha.

And SpaceFarmer: Will do. I'll probably be back at the game again within an hour or two. Heh. I CAN'T STOP PLAYING. AUGH.

[davidbrit2]

Okay, just one last bump for good measure. Come on, I'm sure some of you guys out there have gotten the game at some point since I posted this. Heh.

[norkusa]

You guys got room for one more in this club? I picked Forza up yesterday and would like to get in on one. Just need to find a good wheel now. Gamertag is norkusa
