Default Starting a Forza 4 Online Racing League

Starting a Road Course Racing League in Forza 4. It would be every wednesday. First season would last 6 weeks. 1 race per week We are going to race B class mustangs with hp and weight restrictions everyone also creates their own custom livery on their car. I think it would be fun. Attached is an example of the type of car you can race. they also have fox body, gt500, sn95 and new edge in the game. Please comment if your interested.




also if your interested, please post what number you would like to be. thanks.
numbers taken (5, 007, 302, 3.14, 69)

EDIT:

Ok, were gonna change the rules up a bit now that everyone has gotten acquainted with the track and cars. From my observations, a lot of the cars are faster than others and some drivers are just better than others. To help even the playing field We are gonna run an "american iron" format for six races starting next week. this gives you a full week to prepare. here are the rules.

First off,
Good sportsmanship is valued more than finishing position. this means celan, well-executed passing is to be a trademark of the series. punting another competitor, or leaning on them to gain a position will not be tolerated. car to car contact must be kept to a minimum.

Sports cars (Viper, Corvette, Esperante, Ford GT, Series One, the '57 Thunderbird, et al) are not legal to race in American Iron

Car must have a maximum horsepower to weight ratio of 9.5 and max torque ratio of 9.0. minimum weight of a v8 powered car is 2700lbs. minimum weight for a 4/6 cylinder car is 2400 lbs. For example (2700 lb V8 can have maximum of 284 hp & 300 tq)

v8 cars must be naturally aspirated, but performance modifications are unlimited. must adhere to power to weight ratios.
4/6 cylinder cars are unrestricted

Tires
Max tire width is 275mm maximum wheel diameter is 18inch or whatever stock is.

brakes
ABS is allowed
traction control must be disabled
Stability control is allowed

axles
RWD or OEM IRS is allowed. no coverting to AWD.

Eligible Manufacturers/Models/Configurations
All 1960 through present, American-made sedan vehicles/body styles certified by the United States

“OEM” for purposes of these rules is defined as Ford Motor Company, General Motors, or Chrysler
Group
OEM also includes tuner/racer package cars such as Shelby, Roush, Saleen, Hennesey,

Last but not least, all cars must still have full cage, splitter and wing. numbers assigned on sides. last name and custom livery that may not exceed 3 colors.

I know this is a lot to handle but its really just making this a little more open and fun.

I'll entertain the idea as well. I'll let you know.

Does a 4th color make me too fast?

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.
