New Endurance Race Lobbies Are Insane in Forza Motorsport

[@eezar21]

I love the idea of endurance races…not sure I wouldn’t have the patience you have after being punted in corner 1!

[@Flashms]

Well it took me 5 hours to get this video. The amount of races I joined and left due to penalties from rammers, being slammed of track, pitted, brake checked the lot man is unreal and I am not saying I stayed in them races full I left all of them after 2 minutes so I must have joined at least 50 races and this was the best one. But once you get going it’s amazing. Just got to pass that first hurdle lol

[@SmokinKipper]

@@Flashmsbut doesn’t forza have a ranked/safety rating system to get rid of the hammers?

[@Flashms]

Sort of but it is not strict enough. S class racers are matched with A,B,C level drivers. Where I think it should only be S and A but then a lot of it might be down to smaller player base at the moment.

[@zerraticz]

The car rolling out of the box without engine noise isn't a bug. It's like real life where they leave the pit box in full electric mode and then fire up the engine on their way to the pit exit. Also, if you had selected 5.3 laps of fuel, it would have only added 1.3 laps to your 4 laps you already had, giving you .3 more than you needed. Great video and commentary sir 😎

[@Flashms]

Oooooooo I thought adding the 5.3 is adding 5.3. Thanks for telling me. Feel like I right dummy now lol and I never knew that about these cars. That’s cleaver saves polluting the pit box I guess. Thanks man. Hope all is well.

[@benclegg3124]

Loving these longer races! Just need to find a full lobby of likeminded players that will actually do the whole hour race. I’ve done about 5 of these so far and each one started with 24 people, by the end of the first lap usually around 6-8 people leave and by the end of the race there’s only 8-12 players left.. Ive had some banging races so far, my best one had myself and 5 other equally skilled racers within 1.5-2 seconds the entire race which really tests your abilities. Hope endurance races stay for the long-run!

[@Flashms]

Yeah I get you bud. I can understand why some leave though. Sometimes they see how far the leader is and just think I am never going to be able to finish anyway so why bother. It will soon settle down and I think it will just get better with time. That’s great to hear bud man you must have had the biggest grin yet be worn out by the end of that race lol

I have done 3-4 endurance races now and they have all been clean, no punts, no anything, just clean racing. Ofc when you start that far back it’s gonna be messy.

[@Flashms]

Yeah I get that but also it may have calmed down somewhat now too. Either way it not be that messy wherever you start. We have another 59 minutes and 45 seconds of racing lmfao.

[@whenlizardsfly]

every time I think about trying motorsport, I realize I could never deal with the player base ramming and crashing. I play gt7 and it’s pretty rare to be crashed into as much as I see happen in all these fords videos .

[@Flashms]

Ramming isnt as common as it used to be, the biggest issue is in matchmaking. GT7 as a new player is just as bad from what i have heard, but once you level up, and have a better skill rating the better the race. This is what Forza is massively forgetting to sort properly. Still there are some very good races to be had. Far better than what it was at release lmfao

[@whenlizardsfly]

@@Flashmsit looks like a fun game, they should definitely put in a ranking system and I would buy

[@Flashms]

Yeah man it really does need it, they did implement a little fix but it was kinda worthless lol. But with each update it is getting better bud. Maybe next month update could revisit the matchmaking system again who knows lol

[@Limit-mr7vp]

I think a big problem with matchmaking is that they just dont have enough players to do it well. You can notice a variance of driving skill (and behaviour) depending on when you play

[@Flashms]

Yeah I do think that is an issue to I don’t mind variance. While I also had some of my best races with just 3/4 people in a lobby. It’s catch 22 lol.

[@ACR_BOX]

Just a tip. 50% fuel is 6 laps. It saves weight = laptime (0.5 per lap) and you have less tire wear.. Have fun!

[@Flashms]

Ooooooowwww I like that. Thanks man much appreciated.

[@rainsilent]

Something worth investigating is comparing your lap times on hard and medium tires and then seeing how much time is spent in pit lane. If you gain enough time on mediums it might be worth trying to run a 3 medium strategy while running a bit conservative or even 3 medium 1 soft while pushing as much as you can. What strategy is best for you is entirely dependent on how tactically flexible you are as a driver and what you are capable of as a driver.

[@Flashms]

Exactly this is what I want to try next. Because the car in front was on mediums as they pitted 3 times. So there are different tactics that can be utilised.

[@tandoodleys5252]

Forza feels really healthy at the minute. Theres not a great deal anyone can do about dodgy players but the racing itself feels very planted Looking forward to getting some edurance races done

[@Flashms]

Yeah they really have stepped up the game lately

[@tandoodleys5252]

@@Flashms definitely. Naysayers will say it should have been like this at launch but that's life. In the here and now, it's a terrific racing game

[@Flashms]

@tandoodleys5252 yeah of course it would have been amazing if it was released perfectly. Not like they couldn’t see the competition lol. But they are listening to the community. With thick Cotten buds in but some stuff gets through lol. Still they’re making it one of the best out there. Of course people would and could argue the difference but one thing is the physics of cars are soooo good. Such a perfect balance of sim and arcade. It feels great on a wheel and graphics are starting to look amazing. The races they are bring out are great. Just need to drop a good few more tracks. lol. Just need to make it better for pc users (like myself). Livery section on pc is so clunky. And other little hidden gems would be great.

@@Flashms I'm on Series X so I'm not privvy to the PC stuff, but I can tell you it plays beautifully on there! Agree with the whole listening to the community thing, and that's nothing but a positive move. I like the consistent content updates, and bug fixes are the norm for every game these days. But like you say more tracks would be good, and I'm pretty sure that'll happen. It'll be interesting to see where the game is at in another 6/12 months. Maybe see you out on track brother

[@nismo0886]

I was in that race!!!! I remembered the lime green livery as soon as the video started. Sorry if I punted you off at any point during the race. It was madness for a few laps. Unfortunately I didn't finish because the race end timer.

no way buddy what was your gamertag? Yeah i painted the car just did not have enough time to stick my logo on the side lol. Sorry to hear you did not finish though If you are looking to join further races that are not so chaotic but well thought out, come and join the discord bud, link is in the description. Got an amazing bunch of people in there. plus more lol Yeah the first lap is a little bit wild. Everyone trying to find their feet. To be fair I didnt mind to much being punted of to the back of the pack. Gave me something to work back towards and push forward while also remembering that its about endurance and maximizing the time rather than brute force. So during the night I tire and fuel save somewhat so in the morning when I went onto mediums I could push harder. which worked out quite well :D

Good race, I enjoy the commentary. I agree, they need to find a way to allow everyone to finish. Two minutes isn't enough and the people who finish early shouldn't have to wait.

[@Flashms]

Thanks buddy, Yeah i just think it will solve both problems at the same time. I would be so annoyed racing for 1 hour just to not finish and end with a DNF , while I would hate to win and wait for everyone else. I find it frustrating waiting the 2 minutes lol. So once your on the board you should be able to move onto another race or leave and go back to the menu, I do believe it to be more of an oversight from turn 10.

[@mrsnoopy7557]

I funnily did 2 or 3 Races and all were pretty good my first one was a nice battle at the end with poor tire strategy from my part so my tires were cooked last lap, dooming to P2 after 3 laps off battling. Second time was more like a time trial after i passed everyone like 7 laps in and had 30sec distance to second at the end. Only 3 of 9 people finished that time because of the 2 minute timer after the first finished

[@Flashms]

Oooooo you got it lucky then lol. I had the polar opposite of your races where this was the best of the bunch lmfao. Once we passed lap one though it settled down and was amazing.

[@mrsnoopy7557]

My best lap time last time was a 3.33.977 on triple hards but as soon as the rear tires loose grip that thing is sliding through the handling section

[@Flashms]

That’s a great time bud. You are right though once the tires are worn it’s a case of hold in for dear life lol :)

[@Lemming1970]

DId my first one last night, Loved it.Very physically though on my aging body with a direct drive wheel :-). I agree with you though, They need to add tyre strategies to the finish table. It's not like you wouldn't have that information in a read race.

[@Flashms]

Well done buddy, it is a long hour lol especially on a wheel, it does tire your arms out. What wheel do you have? I am on a g920 so although may not be so powerful, it still does pack a punch lol. Exactly they need to add tire strategy's. Like i say we should be able to see on the leadboard whos running what tire.

[@lukepetrinko4831]

Just a heads up if it hadn’t been commented when fueling it goes up to that percentage not adding that to what you have already

[@Flashms]

Thanks buddy first time fuelling and it’s kind of misleading

[@heybos4640]

Why are the mid tires cold? Mine were like this as well.. Ive no idea if this can be even fixed

[@Flashms]

Because though the fast section the tires are not doing much work. With little downforce the tires just get colder. You could add more tire pressure but due the lack of cornering. They just get colder and colder.

@ETRTriad oooo I thought it was today man. Yeah I’ve only had 1-2 connection drops but that’s to be kinda expected.

Not yet. But looking forward to getting stuck into that lol. I will be trying it out today. I hear it’s just as chaotic. lol

[@Igloojames]

People had 6 second plus time pentatys and it what's worse is you can't do 3 laps of qualifying because if you choose soft tires they lose all grip half way through the lap so you have to start the 2nd lap and quit qualifying and put new softs on which means you only get 2 laps of qualifying

[@Flashms]

I wish they would sort that out during qualifying. It’s always been a problem. It’s rare when you get a full 3 laps out of soft tires. Yeah I also think penalties need looking at as forza safety rating is counted on races not time on the road. So you could have 5 penalties in 1 race which will destroy your rating. Where as in that time you could have done 3 different races and that’s 2 penalties per race which does not affect your rating as much as it’s more spread out. I dunno man. I think for endurance it needs to be a little more lenient. Easy to go a pixel or 2 off track and some accidents are not avoidable or some people know how to intentionally give other cars penalties by ramming or brake checking them.

[@DanielHP1993]

regarding the race time, it’s in hours, minutes and seconds, where it would normally be minutes, seconds and microseconds so your are not seeing the microseconds that you would normally

[@Flashms]

You misunderstand the fuel system. When put stopping the options show what it will fill your tank upto regardless of what's in the tank already. Also when the fuel gauge ticks over from 1 lap to 0 laps you have 1 lap of fuel left. 0 to 0.9 laps of fuel shows as 0 laps. 1-1.9 of fuel shows as 1 lap.

[@OpaSpielt]

24:51 The results look a bit confusing in the first place, but it's correct, so far. The race time was 1:04:51 (1 hour 4 minutes 51 seconds) Your penalty was 2.50 seconds The total, therefore, is 1:04:54 (1 hour 4 minutes 54 seconds) So, the race time must have been more than 1:04:51.5xx, and the total then is 1:04:54.xxx with the xxx not shown on the screen.

[@rakennavarro2557]

Endurance races in Forza its not something appealing for now until they fix the matchmaking... I mean you can start a lobby of a short race with 24 players and end it with less than 10 because there its 0 penalization for leaving the race (the Skill Level its still not used for anything yet) people just leaves if they think they are not doing a good race so endurance races loses all meaning.

[@Flashms]

Yeah it does need looking at because S should not be mixed with any lower than A in reality. I rather have a smaller more competitive lobby than a full but chaotic lobby. Yeah the skill level is irrelevant even though they do state they use it for matchmaking. Shame really. Same as the safety rating. Does not mean to much as C B A are all mixed with S anyway. Yeah I left some races due to the way some drivers were and stupid penalties that were not my fault. So getting a 4 second avoidable for someone sending it off track onto track right in front of you at a 90 degree angle is not something you can avoid at 150 mph lol. But I think with time it’ll calm down and be enjoyable in the future. They also need to fix the race end timer. Not everyone can keep up with the pace of some others. So they should be able to finish to and not get a dnf

As much as I hate to admit it. That was the best of 5 hours and entering and leaving 50 plus lobbies lol. Rest were far far worse lol

Must be Xbox 360 ? Looks like shit

@@danielhultenius5506improvements in the graphics departments is needed there is no denying that.

It's just depressing watching gamers trying to have serious races on this glorified mariokart 😮 jus get gran turismo stopping messing around

[@Flashms]

Maybe one day my friend lol

[@starshipupdates5217]

Forza is probably the only racing game that does have a flag system, it’s insane. I tried this game on gamepass and it’s horrible. I’m off back to Iracing :)

[@ashdog236]

I’m currently playing GT7, stop being delusional the physics are easy AF and the players are dirty af

[@Flashms]

I hear gt7 is like the cars are on rails. Till their not lol

[@ashdog236]

@@Flashms it is! I’m playing it atm after smashing out FM for 6 months but I’m considering getting back on FM, if you wanna laugh check out my recent twitch stream - ‘Leavedespace’ it’s like a war zone, it’s much dirtier than FM, literally people try to turn you around on the straight. Sony fanboys are on some koolaid stuff or they’re just seriously delusional. I don’t mind the physics but FM physics are definitely more realistic, on GT7 if your wheel is straight you can just smash the accelerator even with TCS, very forgiving.

The engine noise isn't an issue - these cars are hybrid. An electric motor brings the car up to pit lane speed before the main engine kicks on. Oh, and you can save on tires by keeping traction and stability control to ON.

[@Flashms]

Ooooo I never knew that. Ha that’s cleaver saves polluting the pit box I guess I have never used stability control. May have to try it out if it saves on fire wear. Thanks for that tip bud much appreciated.

[@One-EyedMisfit]

@@Flashms well, not as much polluting, electric motors are used for launching and overtaking, and some corners. It provides instantaneous torque for a slingshot effect. For endurance racing it’s very handy for fuel conservation.

[@Flashms]

See because there is nothing on the screen stating there is a hybrid motor being used or charged I assumed there wasn’t one. But thanks for telling me it’s good to know. Wish they would create a hud for this showing charge level etc. be handy that would.

[@One-EyedMisfit]

@@Flashms agreed. There's alot more to these cars than Forza could put in I guess. But you're correct, the hybrid system is measured - the petrol engine charges the batteries which in turn powers the hybrid system, and this is 100% adjustable. You can adjust the car (in our case at least), more reliance in tight sections on hybrid, less on combustion, other way around in fast sections and straights.

[@Flashms]

@scrooloose see this is something forza should have implemented. I mean I play on a wheel so I can easily keybind buttons to do what I want the car to do. It’s a shame but I guess on the flip side they also want to make it as accessible as possible and not everyone is able to understand what it does and how to use it. I’m sure they could create an auto feature for the less capable people but you know I may be expecting to much lol.
