I quit my first race last night. Formula Mazda, Mugello "Club" (the short), 25 laps. First corner I got tapped on the side (I was trying really hard to avoid the melee of the first turn, and I got tagged with a 4.5 second penalty. 2 corners later I got tapped in the back end, and a 5 second penalty. I just drifted off the track and quit. The penalties are really getting bad.
Formula Mazda wow that’s one I keep away from. Scares the life out of me lol to much can go wrong there. Wow 4.5 seconds that sucks right there. Seems they turned the dial to 10 there for penalties then another 5 second holy crap. Sorry to hear that I don’t understand it. Is it me that is just lucky. I mean you saw me literally dive bomb 5 cars and I got 2.5 seconds and even then I think it was only because of the last car pushing me off the track.
@@Flashms Yeah, I think the cranked it up too far. I definitely didn't dive-bomb, and the person who ran into me got no penalty. Just wack. Also, for PC players, the saving of replays is still non-functional. Really a disappointment.
@@Flashms I love the formula Mazda series. I know a lot of people dislike the open wheels, but for some reason, I am really comfortable with it. Strange I know.
Yeah maybe a little, thing is if the system is failing the innocent, then the system is broken, taking 6 months to fix a broken system is not good enough in my opinion and really turn 10 are going to have to start answering questions. Its a 60 odd pound game, with as much content as a PS1 demo disk.
Mate they make me nervous as anything, glad you like them though got more balls than me there lol. Also the replays work fine for me on PC, the last video was all recorded on PC and the replay loaded fine. I mean I can see if I can help bud if you like
hey buddy, How are you keeping ? Well done man, thats great, the car was a learning curve for rear end swing lol. It defo needed some weight in there, i was thinking about next time i may add more than needed fuel to see if that helps keep it down, and would the weight gained affect my time to much lol
Wasn't this series purely stock the first time it came around? I am probably remembering it wrong, but I know I did not save a tune from it for whatever reason.
it is purely stock now, the only thing i could adjust was tire pressures, so really we are all on the same playing field to an extent. Best way for it I say. although i am not to convinced that adjusting the pressures helped all that much lol
It’s about taking corners faster, powering on earlier braking later. Charging assists. Such as traction control of. Simulation steering and all that make a huge difference.
yeapp, 1 and 2 thats it of defence. if he was smarter he would stayed inside to begin with xD and that oddly thinking for overtake to get more penalty cutting and diving, must been desperate that one xD glad you having fun racing that is the pure joy :D
Yeah, exactly and I did not move the car over, they took themselves out, Icing on the cake though, they quit lol. Yeah I did not understand why the last corner overtake took place, Maybe they hoped i would crash of the track who knows .
@@Flashms haha, yea, lesson learned for the guy, dondt over defend, because i wont back off once the two moves been done xD yea, they can hope and dream but Karma is always a bitch xD
hahhahaha, yeah i mean it could not of gone any better, took them cleanly and no penalty, i mean the system must have been looking at me and said do it lol. it is, and another 2 second penalty was the karma right there, no podium for you lol
The 5 dudes still playing this garbage are having a blast.
Sure are lol.
FM is currently ranked number 20 of the top 40 most played Xbox games. Sounds more like six people are playing it than five.
Yay we have another player lol.

I saw someone drift with this car in a race and not lose time
That all depends on how fast they were in total. Due to not having a leader board it is hard to tell but in general, it is slower
I have mostly been doing GT and some touring car,,,,will have to do some open series races
I can recommended it. It was pretty fun buddy.
@gsprings43 hey bud hope all is well, if you haven't added me on Xbox yet, drop me a message please at Flashg90#1817, much love and many thanks
Love The M3's I want it back already
Haha yeah, although they were a handful, i must say they were fun :D
@@Flashms that's defo what made it fun :) love holding the power slide with them on maple good crack :)
@@5hadowGamin9 Yeah that was the one thing i struggled to master, I found it snapped back randomly sometimes, so didnt want to take the chance lol
Yeah, racing is best especially when players are sparse. You know, rammers like crowds. Enjoy while it lasts.
Hahahaha no kidding. Lucky from what I heard most rammers have moved onto gt3 lol. They do bounce around but I have been kinda lucky at times.
I got banned 😆 🤣 😂 😹
No way. How you manage that ???
@@Flashmsprobably because he was driving decently.
lol there is always that
Great video flash I had a couple of races yesterday and great races in my silver m3 lol got myself a 3rd place! Defo a great car to balance!!
hey buddy, How are you keeping ?

Great racing by the way!

Bit if we are all in the same car with no tunes how could other players have more speed?@@Flashms
