Guys, in the finals in the day of qualifying, will we have 15 minutes of practice and qualy or just qualy?
I believe practice then qualy but I'm not 100% sure. I'd have to watch the rebroadcast from my qualy stream last season.
It should say in the rules
Looks like 15 minute practice sessions to warm up a little and run your 4 laps.
It works like qualifying in hoppers basically
15 mins for practice and quali per track
4 quali laps within that 15 min window
Is anyone streaming the qualis?
going live again in a sec

Thats a tough group damn
I ended up 8th, 13th, and 8th. Friggen sunset gave me a spanking
NA qualy results from my stream:
-Grand Oak (https://imgur.com/qpe2JGu)
-Sunset (https://imgur.com/5UxWCmp)
-Maple (https://imgur.com/Hldi9JE)
Today went about as good as it could've for me. Hopefully I can do the same tomorrow. π
That was me but with Maple. I absolutely sent it in the last lap and turned things around, but if I hadn't improved that last lap, I would've only just narrowly cracked the top 10.
They not race yet
Theyβll be quali/racing in like 6hrs
ok thank you
So more like 3 hours but close enough
3 am in the morning or afternoon
Hey Zach :P
Welcome to the logitech G discord 
Just here reading on it all now
They're always running events, it's pretty sweet.
Same Zach?
Ya from stream lol
kk
When is the McLaren RS track wheel launch? π€
you dont need to post the same question in multiple channels, but release dates are not announced in this discord. youll know when everyone else does
Ya it just says notify me online, they don't leak info in here sadly.
I forget awz are you getting that too?
undecided. Im not super crazy about the design but I have a base without a wheel rim on it and it would be useful for formula races in iracing
Was that yesterday?
Not streaming so I don't risk my internet π
Starting now
I'm doing this on cloud gaming I'm so cooked 
But you didnt come last!
When will the stream start?
isnt it next week or?
Yeah, Monday, just want to know what time
Found it, 10am PT (7am NZDT, 5am AEST)
To participate in today's final, what do I have to do? Thank you.
Qualifying has already ended. Ur too late to enter it seems sorry
for the final race I mean
eh?
Did you do qualifying? It would be done the same but with 10 lap races instead.
I thought by qualifying you meant the finals qualifying. That is to set the grid for the race. You are talking about the qualification rounds which you have to get top 5 (different to 1%, top 5 as in actual positon number) in your region to get through to the finals.
This is where the results are, you didn't get through in the online qualifiers https://discord.com/channels/1110612021877153902/1185320394836693134
^
Well I'll just see the replay
wait is that tomorrow?
Oh right on Twitch too
Says on Facebook
π
Yes, Sunday 1 Feb USA
I'll be up at 7 lol
NZ timezones are not the worst, aest is the worst for almost everything lol
True
Its stupid too because we got DST which means depending on a certain date its +10 or +11
I think QLD is lucky not to have that.
When is the eu one?
G29 or T300rs GTE
How to turn on leds on g29?
?
So this live cast looks like its going to be a full day
The APAC quali and races took 2.5 hours all up.
Same as last season, we are actually ahead of schedule π long day but hope you all enjoy the show
Did anyone save the racing replays for EMEA, LATAM and NA? I saved and shared all the APAC races
Wow that looks pretty bad there
@hardy prism Ryan heard a bug in the Latam lobby, my car, MGZIN's car, MGL, Angeloni, heard an invisibility bug, I have the clip, my car was lifted into the air and I saved the replay.
My name is RBM Sixx
nice t1
Grand finals btw....
LOL Saw that spreadsheet!
Upload stream when ??
I was just about to ask the same thing of where I can find the stream
should be uploaded after they end it
Think we gotta wait a bit
I reckon they should upload that too π
Is it on the Logitech G channel or the Forza channel?
Logitech G Channel but cant access it
Ah, okay
Noticed I dont see alot of rebroadcasted stuff from LogitechG
Will we ever get an answer
It was on the forza channel in the past
Oh right
can i speak to a staff member when you get a chance pls
Ok I saw the past races in the Forza Channel
Urgh the last Finals was wierd due to the Medium/100% vs Soft/5%....
You guys don't think they forgot to turn on the 'Publish VODs' setting and that the broadcast has just become lost media, right?
they probably saved it but only them have it
We can only hope π
How to find Forza channel on Discord? Thanks
This is the Forza channel. Or do you mean the Forza Discord server?
Ahh yes server
Ah can't post the link, but I can post an FB post that gives you the link https://m.facebook.com/ForzaHorizon/photos/the-official-forza-discord-is-the-place-to-be-join-today-to-find-your-convoy-sha/1036058418530507/
See posts, photos and more on Facebook.
Sweet appreciated
No worries π
Nice job on your win btw!
Forza is considered sim racing....?
Nope
I mean, Forza is a game that simulates racing, so by that logic, yes. However, Forza is far from a "sim racer". It's more along the lines of Gran Turismo than a proper sim like Assetto Corsa or iRacing.
sim-cade is the term
How long left till the event start?
It happened yesterday π
Rebroadcast should be on the "logitechg" twitch channel
Ight
@hardy prism @urban oasis Whar are the EMEA GRAND FINALS standings?
Thanks!
@hardy prism check your Dm, pls
You know how long till they actually get it uploaded onto there?
No idea, when they remember to do it probably 
Thank you!
Stream couldβve easily just been uploaded right after it was over no?
There always a wait?
Yes if the option is on
Kinda ridiculous apac doesn't even get to see their races smh
The only evidence we have of the APAC races right now is Crav's POV
Vod is still processing on youtube. I'll link it here when it's finished π
Thank you Hunter ππΌ
W
Where's bonus round results? Thought they were supposed to be released today?
Are you referring to the bonus round Rivals event?
Yep
The bonus round hasn't finished yet
When does it end? I thought it said February 2
It says in-game that it's ending in 1D
Oh wait it says Feb 4 mb

im ready for forza 6
Forza 6 came out 10 years ago but the new Horizon looks good
huh?
Forza Motorsport 6/Forza 6 came out 10yrs ago
i ment to say forza horizen 6. Had a brain fart for a second lol
Ah no worries π
i need coffee then lol
With forza horizon 6 being in Japan, I'm not too familiar with Japanese cars. Mainly British, Italian and American muscle are what i use
results wont be released here for the bonus round. its just an entry for a giveaway
other than the giveaway winner being annonced
Hello Iβm race days APAC ranked tenth οΌstore time trial)
unfortunatly, the event is now over. the grand finals were 2 days ago
I know haha
hi everyone
Hey!
@hardy prism @urban oasis Hi Ryan and Hunter, good morning, can you tell me approximately when you'll be sending out the LMGC prizes? Thanks in advance, and please Ryan, if you could check your DMs I'd appreciate it.
It's normally like 2-3 weeks
I dont really think they are checking DM requests from people here either. Its probably better to bring it up here and get it elevated by me or Zach if needed
Hello!
Hey guys are the bonus round sweepstakes winners gonna be released today
round 3 giveaway was announced 1 week after it ended so maybe around that timeframe? very unlikely itll be the same day it ends
Guess that makes sense so the last second people can join
Does anyone know when the next McLaren G challenge starts?.... im already ready lol
Heyo, does anyone know, if there are prices for placements in the bonus-stage? Finally made it to the global leaderboards, and was just wondering
If youre trying to submit an SI post it in your finals chat and ping him there. They dont accept dm's normally.
nope. just gets you an entry for a prize drawing. nothing based on placement
Ah ok, thank you
Isn't it gonna be $70 usd
Prices are on the stores, itβs on pre sale but I donβt remember how much, although must be something like that
its over. the final bonus round ended yesterday and the grand finals were over the weekend
Ohhh thanks
It's available for purchase
But it'll be on GamePass day 1
??
wtf was that
whatever his issue was, I hope his day gets better
there are a bunch of deleted messages in the horizon 6 channel of the forza server, so Im gonna guess that was him
Why?
that was in response to someone whining about the mods in the forza discord
Ohh mb I thought you meant about fh6 being on game pass
yea, I see how that could be seen as that π I removed the message
sorry for the confusion
Fun to watch! Also, I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the video was shared as "Unlisted" rather than "Public," which means only those of us with the link can watch it.
how can i see the leader board for the McLaren g challenge quali
thanks! @oak grail
Whatβs next?
Hey
Does anyone know when the winner of the sim setup is getting released?
for the bonus round? they try and get to to it as soon as they can but there is no set timeframe for when they announce it
I regret telling @hardy prism to make the challenge harder when I was in Barcelona. This is pain. Lmao
James Hunt's car on Fujimi is insane
I thought it was a nice challenge. Though I also drive Fujimi and the Nordschleife just for fun
I only did a few laps and I think I ended up around 70th just because it was a clean lap 
89th* close enough
You have to handbrake so much with that combo it's nuts
Yeah, the standings were a bit shallow due to the clean laps. If i remember correctly only something like 1800 people got a clean one
I'm not that well acquainted with Fujimi, Nordschleife + M23 would've been an amazing combo. lol Fujimi was hilarious though
I can't imagine what the lap is like towards the top of the board. Those guys must be kissing walls everywhere.
I watched the lap of 1. place and it was extreme risk. I don't want to know how many hours they spent on that lap. I got 10th and was in there for at least 3 hours
Ya I can only imagine. I had a 7:45 and I felt like I was pushing pretty hard. I could only really see a 7:39. Top times were 7:21's π
I'm certified mid at Fujimi
Don't talk yourself down like that
You were 10th with a 7:32 and that was still 11 seconds off. So much time in that track it's nuts. It's more nuts having the nerves and stamina to extract it.
You're top 89 in the world with that time, and if that is mid the standards need to be fixed
lol just being a realist, fujimi's not my best track for sure. If I'm not hard on myself I get complacent, part of the grind I guess.
See it from a different perspective. Place 89 out of 9840 means, that you are in the top 0,9%. I admire your spirit of improvement, but from time to time you also have to appreciate what you've accomplished
Ya I'd agree I'm a little extreme. I am proud of making 9th and 8th overall in the last two NA finals. I think I'm just salty because I only did like 5-10 laps on fujimi and I know I could've done better.
I respond better to ball busting than compliments anyways, gotta fuel the fire somehow. π
Congrats on front page though man, that's sick af.
Especially on that combo.
Then you have a goal and the motivation for the next challenges
Thank you very much
What region are you in?
lol nm I have the board up still. Ya EU is tough to make finals
Much harder than NA
To get to finals would be too hard. In the earlier stages I was far off from being anywhere near to qualify. I think it really was just a little more persistence from my end that got me to my placement on Fujimi
Atleast you know you have it in you if you put the time in now
That's true. Maybe I'll put some more hours into the next challenges and see where it gets me
Normally it gets easier to qualify every round but even in Rd 3 EU people needed top 20 overall to qualify. It's rough because the best guys usually qualify earlier. But this time a few of the top drivers waited until Rd 3. π
LATAM is arguably deeper but they both have a lot of talent at the top. Lol on "The Americas" leaderboard there's 2 LATAM drivers for every NA driver in the top 100.
I do have to be honest though, I didn't know about qualifiers at all. And I still don't know how they work π¬
There's 3 rounds, you can only qualify once. So if you qualify rd 1 you're not eligible on the others. They take top 6 each round in NA and top 5 in the other regions. Top 5 in other regions because they have race days qualifier events at stores as well. People all play on the same settings on a rig setup in the store and try to set the fastest time on wheel. They take the top 16 I believe from the race days events, have a race days finals to wittle it down to 4. And those 4 from race days finals join the other 15 from the online qualifiers to make up the grand finals.
So there's a couple ways to qualify
When I say qualifying rounds, there's featured rivals that each stay up for about a month apiece. It rotates through the 3 combos used in finals and people just have to make top 5/6 regionally in one of them.
rules and elgibility doc / the sign up link are always in #πg-challenge
Yeah, I'll have no chance at those π . I still drive with my $40 Xbox Controller. I'd get torn to shreds on a wheel
But thanks for the explanation
Majority of top drivers play on controller, I'd say the race days events are the easiest road if you know what you're doing. If you do qualify online though you're straight to finals. Guaranteed pay day. πͺ
Really? I thought it would be easier to drive with a wheel. But all the more motivation
FM was designed for controller so the FFB can be a little weird on wheel. You can be just as fast on wheel but it takes a lot of tinkering with settings and getting used to it before you can really extract the time. There's been a handful of finalists and even an APAC champion on wheel. But 95% are on controller including all the fastest drivers.
A lot of us have sim setups but still choose to play on controller.
Playing on PC with higher FPS helps more than anything. If you're looking for an edge that's the trick.
I just built a nasty gaming PC for my sim rig but competed in finals on my series X. Could've probably made another $200 if I just installed forza on my computer. π
Bowkett does the same thing, usually plays on his xbox so people can't make excuses when he does well.
Never would have guessed. So my decision to get an upgrade was the right call all along π . If I may ask, what components are you using in your PC?
AMD 9800X3D, RTX5080, 32GB DDR5-6000 (30cl), 2tb m.2 SSD, 850watt psu, 360 AIO water cooler. I was so pumped when I passmarked it and hit 1% graphics.
I'm not even using the X3D mode, supposedly improves fps by a little but it deactivates hyper threading and loses half the threads. Computer benchmarked better with normal settings over the X3D gimmick.
It was time for an upgrade, my main rig has an i7-6700k which is the minimum requirement for my capture card now. Atleast it'll still make a good stream PC.
lol ya the old rig is an i7-6700k, GTX1060, 16gb DDR4. She's still classy though.
I went with the 5080 because I wanted 4k @ 240hz. Kind of splurged a bit but I should be able to run triples on the rig if needed.
Bought a nice OLED last year and finally built a computer that could push it.
That's strong. I'm just running a Ryzen 7 7700, 9070 XT, also 32GB DDR5-6000 30cl and 2TB m.2 SSD, but only 750W PSU. It works well, and I can get the 165Hz @ 4k that my monitor can pull
All that and you still haven't done a race in iracing π
π«
Ya I honestly that's what I should be doing right now.
Had to go over some SI's for TORA. They have iRacing and LMU leagues now so they keep me busy.
If you're looking for league racing to keep sharp, I have discord links on my twitch page. Twitch page is in my bio. I can't post links to other discord so that's my loophole. 
I probably need to update that again soon. Hopefully all the links are still good.
Never really raced in a league before, and not quite sure if I'm consistent enough, but left a follow π
oh really? I dont usually do league stuff but that might be a good one to look into
You'll probably enjoy it since they run on the TORA rule book. We're pretty strict when it comes to penalties. Keeps the racing cleaner.
Probably a good idea to glance over the driver's handbook if you haven't. It was updated recently.
Don't start on fps propaganda it does nothing
I'll find out soon enough either way
@hardy prism and @urban oasis do you guys know when will we get news about whats happening with the Racing Challenge?
There are definitely advantages to playing at higher frames. Higher frames aren't a direct causation in faster lap times, but at the same time, higher frames do make it easier. I can hit the same lap times at 120 frames as I can at 60, but it's a lot easier for me at 120 frames due to how much smoother the game is. It's really jarring going back to 60 after experiencing 120. The game feels so choppy in comparison. I wouldn't say it necessarily makes me faster, though. I can hit the same target times at 60 as I can at 120, but I can do it more consistently at 120.
I would say the most important thing over anything else is having a strong internet connection. I did some testing leading up to the Grand Final, and it came to my attention that my main workstation PC gets half the internet speed as my secondary HTPC. I typically compete on my workstation and use my HTPC for casual TV gaming. However, upon realizing how much faster the WiFi in my HTPC is, I decided to compete on my HPTC for this Grand Final instead. It's astounding how much better multiplayer was.
Normally, cars will jitter everywhere and I have to put up with terrible server lag that makes it incredibly difficult to focus and set decent lap times, and I had none of those problems on my HTPC. My HTPC has an i5-14600 and RX 6700, whereas my workstation has an i7-13700K and RX 7800 XT, so while my HTPC is a tad slower hardware-wise, the faster WiFi made multiplayer so much more playable. Needless to say, I've ordered a new WiFi card for my workstation. π
Yeah 4 of the top drivers in apac waited until rd 3 π
Yeah internet makes a huge difference. I ran an ethernet cable across the floor in my house to where my PC is lol π
I did mine r1
cba with maple and sunset
Yeah, Maple is terrible. I like Sunset, if I didn't get through there I would not have been able to at Maple.
LMU is great
But one major flaw
The safety ranking is actually such a pain, I cannot gain rank because I get put with dirty drivers all the time and get hit off the track
T2 le mans is actually stupid, yesterday I did a race and about three people took others out, luckily I avoided it π
I would run ethernet, but I live in a house full of cats so I'm scared they'd somehow pull the cable out or bite through it. π
But, yeah, I was shocked when I tested the two computers and saw the difference. I always thought it was because my internet just sucked. Turns out, I've been relying on a bad WiFi card for the last couple of years. My workstation only gets like 15mbps down and 10mbps up. I thought that was just my internet, then I tested my HTPC and got like 50mbps down and 25mbps up.
That's still not very great, but that's to be expected as I live in a rural area. Regardless, it was still a noticeable difference. The ping especially. I was getting around 6,000 ping on my workstation whereas my HTPC ranges between 30 and 100 ping. I never realized the discrepency before because I only play single player games on my HTPC. Any kind of competitive gaming I use my workstation.
Woah that is quite the difference even though it is not crazy fast.
I get around 300mbps down and 200mbps up, gigabit when running ethernet, but I don't live rural so that makes sense. A better WiFi card would quite a difference I'd think, mine is built into the motherboard and I have good internet anyway which helps.
Even though my internet is pretty good, when playing competitive games (Minecraft mostly), my ping on most servers ranges from 200 - 300ms, simply because of being located in Oceania connecting to servers from the EU and US.
So sometimes people say "You got bad internet" when in reality I don't, its just the distance to the server is so much further
I league race on the F1 game, that is a prime example as mainly they are from the EU, people are scared of me because my ping is so bad lol π
Using your workstation, does your internet struggle in competitive games? I would assume so, a better WiFi could should make a pretty decent difference.
We used to have a number of good players in APAC, but a lot either retired or can't participate (We excluded China for some reason which had a number of great racers in APAC).
Oh wow, excluding one of the biggest countries will definitely reduce the numbers
Hey guys what car do you think sounds the best in FM8?
Surprisingly Taiwan and HK is ok, just not China which is odd per se but some legal reasons or another.
Yeah it is quite odd, yeah it would very likely be legal reasons
Porsche Carrara GT
I think K1Z Tom won the first series then Lags I cant remember exactly from APAC who won and such
Itβs for when the next g challenge ?π€
The fastest apac driver is from hk but he just doesn't do it
Frames do absolutely nothing it's just visuals
You mean SUSU? I mean maybe but wasnt K1Z Tom and Lags faster?
I thought even psoasmajor was fast too
Oh Batdca ok, yes he is fast. But I didnt see him participate this ever. He could've
I knew Batdca from Horizon, but then again there be too many other great drivers to name lol
We had Nalak too, but I dont think he liked FM that much
Nalak wasn't good at fm
Actually FH6 physics is going to be more FM2023 anyways from what I've saw and heard
Regardless I'm just saying we had the players just most didnt want to participate or could participate. Anyways it is what it is
Asia will always be the worst region
Its ok I can live with that
We don't have the same skill as other regions
he was fast. just didn't like fm
That I agree I think he played it and went meh
I watched 1 stream and he was 3s off on spa in meta Lambo so that's all I can go off
Yeah same lol, means I have a chance π
@surreal dock @simple furnace race tora it's better
Tom and batdca would be a crazy matchup
Bat is a fair bit faster imo
Idk if I have the time lol, switching between LMU, F1 and FM on wheel is quite strange lol
Comparing bat pace now to Tom pace then vs the comp its fairly clear imo
But it doesn't really matter
Because the next Logitech G will be on No Hesi Server :p
no hesi just reminds me of hedgey yt videos
@stiff obsidian you racing sebring?
Mayhaps. with UDP
The last race on this game π₯
Le mans info comes out the day of fh6 ea so it's cooked
I honestly feel like quitting ts rn. Played the game for so long
I put 100x more effort into fm7
I was alright.
I was like .3 off max pace in GTs by the end and like .1-.2 off in proto on some sweaty boards
Now I'm like a second π
I can't drive jelly I was fine when the game was new
I stayed in lobby racing
I never really did leaderboards unless it was a lobby leaderboard
I loved trying to put some random car high up on freeplay boards
Gallardo gt top 10 leman π₯
batdca is π₯
me and the homies love batdca
Batdca top 1 nicest forza players
in the top 5 from everyone i ever met on forza easily
Gotta get a wheel and sim race with the boys, you'd probably do well
A wheel is the single best upgrade I made, 100% agreed
Although I wouldn't mind an upgrade to an R9 π
I need a cockpit first, the NRL victory seems perfect for my budget and needs
And space too, I considered an Aluminium rig but I'd need to move it everytime I want to race or do something else on my PC. The price is also a factor too, I need to look into a new GPU aswell lol π
Ya you cant move it easily. Mine's heavy as hell lol
The rubber feet on the rug dont let it move much. I have a piece of cardboard under the rear so I can slide it with one person.
you can put those profile rigs on casters but im not sure how stability is effected
thats as close to movable as youll get on those lol
Ya it'd need casters to be moved easily. If you got some with wheel locks like a parts stand theyd probably cook.
I have a TR80s stand for reference. Like a mid ranged rig.
Im not the weakest either so its definitely beefy all built with the DD base, seat, and pedals all hooked up.
Google says the rig itself weighs 70lb. Plus the seat, dd base, pedals, and add on stuff. Total weight is somewhere in the 100-150lb. I pick it up by the wheel base mount, lifting the pedals end and let the back slide on the cardboard.
mine is a tank. Ive got a 21:9 monitor mounted to mine again so its quite heavy
Lol ya my monitor stand is seperate. It'd probably be closer to 200lb with all that.
next level racing says the boxed weight is 83 lbs, so its probably around that same 70 lb number.
without the monitor mount anyway
Sounds about right, any decent rig is going to be heavy. You only really need a rig like that for roughly 12/13nm and above. I have an 18nm base but only run it at 11 so i couldve cheaped out lol
Id rather not have any flex though. Definitely not worth strapping a base like that to a desk.
Not at all lol π
there are people that post on sites like reddit about how they regret buying high Nm bases because they dont see the point, then show a pic of it clamped to a desk. some people get swept up in the hype and dont understand what they are buying
Any Iracers in here ?
Vroom vroom
Hi
Hey guys
Iβm just kinda getting into this and I bought the G923 wheel. What is nm? Is there a way online I can learn about this stuff or would someone be so kind as too take me under there wing? Also I got top 500 in the G challenge in October. For anyone that might take me under there wing Iβm not a terrible driver. Thanks
Nm is just the amount of force
I'm a noob if that counts
it does. even if the miata has a little too much power for you right now
I give it 6 months before you are lapping faster than I am. gotta do it while I can
The classic forza advice "More RT less LT"
I was about to say that
yeah lmao
i feel like on a desk anything more than 5nm would just be more annoying than useful lmao
acc prob 8
And more A, handbrake turns look cool
those perfect timed ones always are so smooth
Depends on the car and tune but handbrake can be pretty clutch. Literally need it on some combos.
I clicked the link for lulz, you'll get gif permissions when you hit level 5.
If i lap a track of your choosing faster than you in FM, can I have 10 free levels?
The only way to earn server experience is from being active and participating in events. So technically the admins should be able to adjust it, but I'm just a community mod not an admin. That would be funny if they were down though.
I'd give you something good to chase like my qualifying time for NA Finals or something π€£
I'll give you the combo if you want to try it in rivals. You need to run it in rivals rather than test drive because there's more rubbering.
Alr
Whatβs your Nurburgring time, I run that track religiously on multiple racing games, probably the only chance Iβd have
I don't think I have a sweated nurb time on this FM, FM7 I was front page in a couple classes.
Itβs really annoying to set a time on cuz the tiniest mistake wastes 6 minutes of your life
I'll start with my round 2 time. 2015 McLaren P1 GTR, stock build and tune, sunset peninsula full. 1:20.429 in rivals.
https://forza.net/leaderboards/logitech-mclaren-g-challenge-qualifier-2-rivals-202512
I'm #50 on the list for proof of time.
I mean iβll try
If you give up let me know and I'll run some Nordschleife when I get time. I can't hate on nurb, I love the burger.
Iβm actually John Nordschliefe so π€·ββοΈ
Thatβs actually a cold display name too
Considering the running John Logitech jokes that's ironicly funny for this discord

nice name change
Iβm patenting this display name, anyone else that uses it smells and should be insta

No one?
I had it first
Also you spelled it wrong the e comes before the i
Looks like you guys need to have a Nordschleife showdown to determine who's the true John Nordschleife.
π
Chatgpt told me otherwise so itβs not my fault
Itβs clearly me
Iβm gonna bash nordschleife rivals tn and see what i get

Thatβs not on
When do we get bonus round results it's been 8 days
theres not really any results to post, itll just be a giveaway winner picked. Id expect it reletivly soon tho, but the admins are juggling results from the grand finals and aimlabs still so lots to work thru
Howd the hot laps go?
John Rewind
I got #97th pretty easily , then tapped the barrier on literally the final corner whilst infront of the #30 rival and rage quit
Which class? Ill give it a run sometime. I want to front page some nurb boards before I swap to iracing full time.
Exactly what im thinking lol
Ruh Roh no gif perms, that was what I did anyway, invalidated the whole lap and i couldnβt be bothered anymore
P class nordschleife invalidated 5:17.6
The one without the GP circuit
Sounds like fun, ill take that over X class in the valkyrie
Facts
Yep
I wanna say I have wr or did have wr on it before the f1 was op
Why does everyone wanna be a John?
brainrot
I'll run some laps on stream tonight and see where I end up. F1's on the ring sounds fun.
Itβs pants, I hate that car
Iβm more concerned w the fact it took you a solid 7 minutes to type 19 wordsβ¦
John printing press over here π«΅
Excuse me?
lol since you're calling me out, I was going to say I set a time on P class Homestead Speedway last night for the PTG HLC. I don't usually run ovals but ended up 5th on the board. Deleted it from the message because it was barely related and mostly tooting my own horn.
For god sake
Youβll all be hearing from my lawyer John Law soon
Ran a few laps and ended up with a 5:14.046. Hopefully I'll have time to come back this weekend and shave a few more seconds.
@lofty hare did you get wr
Why would i get the wr?
Unfortunately John Nordschleife (the real one) has a full time job and relies purely on raw talent
Cant be making excuses when you requested the smoke π
Whatβs your irl nordschleife time?
I believe thatβs what the kids these days call βmoggingβ
Eventually, bucket list.
Ive been sweating it since PGR2 so I have a little practice. 
You did challenge a finalist so you had to expect a little bit of a challenge π
Truly a forza player of all time
Mogging in the sense that my irl nordschleife lap time is faster than yours
I have a feeling Id do pretty well, one day ill rent a car to go cruising out there. Lol still doesnt change the times in forza.
π
Cant strawman your way out of this one 
Bridge to gantry doesn't count
@edgy current gotta send krow over there
I can't think of someone in forza with a faster car
Ive driven 830whp race cars in real life, run an auto body shop. I have a feeling the results would be similar.
Yes but do you have the capabilities to get one out to Germany? Benefits of living in Europe, you can literally just drive to Germany.
@lofty hare what is the car anyway?
Iβm gonna get smoke for this π©
That is cool though, id love to rip the ring in real life
BMW i4 m50, yes its electric
Eh, more torque
tourist lap in a tourist car
I can pay for part of it with my taxes, only reason I got it, otherwise Iβd of gotten a real manβs car.
Tourist car?
Awz isnt impressed 
tourist laps dont count as setting a time. you are missing part of the track
I think its cool either way, id just love to rip it in real life.
troll account
@lofty hare why did you join logitech the day your discord was made 
Because i made this account specifically to join this discord for events, my last account got permaβd by discord for raiding
You probably just missed the last one
Last what?
Event for forza on the game
I didnβt participate in that, but I did in the aimlabs
Too bad youre late to the party, theyve done 5 of these LMGC events so far on FM. Its basically been keeping the game alive.
Wouldnβt have won anyway, not missing much
They'll have more events though, if not on FM they'll be on another game. We wont know for sure until details get announced. They dont give out many hints.
Everyone in finals gets paid, I got $400 for 8th. πͺ
How many people are in the finals? 24?
Supposed to be 19 but it depends on who checks in. Usually around 14.
Gotta make it into the finals first π¬, definitely donβt play FM enough for that
Well maybe you should get into sim racing then, you'd probably do pretty well if youre barely playing and hitting top 100.
same
anyone playing horizon 6
Yes when it comes out
mhm
5:11.566, I'm leaving it there. Got front page so that's all I wanted. The shared tune makes it pretty easy to push.
Yeah just played it this morning you wanna join me for a drive?
Nahh I will get it later but when I get it I could
Bruh
8+ years and looking for a job on discord hahahhaha
can anyone who uses a logitech g920 wheel help me out mine wonβt work
I'm assuming you have all the proper cables plugged into all the proper places? Including the right wattage power cord into the wheel base?
If everything's plugged in and powered properly then the wheel should calibrate itself and turn fully both directions immediately, if it doesn't then it's either an issue with the cords, where they're plugged into the computer or wheel base, or something could be wrong with the wheel base itself
We have rl leauge and we nedd a good player daimond or champ or platiniom if anybody want call me in privacy
do not spam the same message across multiple channels. thanks
Bro iwant a player
cool. doesnt give you permission to spam
The first thing that is not ur server and the second thing this is spam for u
im a mod so I enforce the rules, one of which is no spam
so, please stop spamming the same message across multiple channels. thank you
im not sure how you thought posting 1 more was going to end, but here we are
This is spam for everyone, nobody cares, this server isnβt even remotely anything to do with rocket league.
I got it. you dont need to add your 2 cents after its been handled
oops. didnt mean to delete your comment @lofty hare , but if your opinion is wanted on moderation, it will be asked for
Plat to champ is a huge range lol
they left because I timed them out for spamming that message lol
Probably joined just to advertise lol
i think somethings wrong with the wheel base i put a new power cord because it wouldnβt calibrate or light up but now it still doesnβt work, not sure what to do
oh thank you
No problem, Logitech has good support. They should be able to walk you through the troubleshooting.
vroom vroom
Fh or fm?
Hi All, im new to sim racing using Logitech on GT7. Whats unique is im a double amputee username iav1arm1leg across Tiktok and YT.
welcome dude thats sick, try mapping your gas and brake to the wheel buttons or paddles
I use Logitech RS pedals and have changedd to a left foot accelerator. Just switch my foot between accelerator / brake. I gear up / down on wheel using square / triangle
smart swap on the pedals, helps keep your focus on the steering
There used to be a player in halo 2 that was almost semi-pro with one hand. Stumpy I think was the gamertag. Lol it can be done.
Water entered my mechanical keyboard. Now, when I press the S key, it also types F at the same time. Tried drying it, but the problem persists.
oof thats rough, try cleaning the switches with some isopropyl alcohol to clear residue
it's only the S key
oh i didnt notice thx
So on FPS games i use my mouth / tongue on right side of standard PS5 controller haha
I think he used one hand to aim and kind of hit the triggers with his knees lol
Forza racing:
downshifting to keep the rpm at max, abusing the transmission.
"Wow so unrealistic"
F1 2026 season: hold my beer.
https://twitter.com/the_zb_/status/2024228458860060754?t=lEtSKDvmUQM5ZicjobYsnA&s=19
As I said last week - there will be a deliberate attempt at convergence towards low gear usage as Max did in week 1. You canβt beat physics.
The differentiator will be how well the PU and gearbox handle this abuse, and how βgentleβ the feedback to the driver is in the corners.
We don't do it to charge the PU though lol
Very true
Not sure F1 this year would be fun to watch with the whole Energy Management thing going on.
It's unrealostic because it would send the pistons through the block in real life 
Stroll still drives so itβs not that realistic
Why canβt they just have v10s again instead of all this stupid battery stuff, optimising the calendar locations would probably offset the pollution from the cars. F1 isnβt even supposed to be about the environment anyway, itβs speed, power and innovation, not engine configurations youβd find in a middle aged womanβs SUV that she uses for dropping little Timmy off at school in
and get rid of Monaco, itβs boring
I completely agree...maybe next reg change
Sadly i donβt think itβll ever happen
Na hybrid tech just adds torque on demand. Like a tesla, porsche 918, laferrari etc. A lot of new high end european cars have some hybrid tech to help push like 1000ft/lb
Hybrid is fine, but a hybrid v10 would be even better
But a hybrid 3.0 V6T is ass. Same config as a VW touareg in the βpinnacle of motorsportsβ
the hypercars over in wec and IMSA seem to have figured out how to make hybrids work with mostly v8s. they even have a NA v12 kicking around. and that tech actually trickles down to road cars, shocking.
The WEC is so cool
I think ferrari were talking to the FIA to get it done by 2031 but not sure if that went any further
Its nice because you can build the engine to rev out like a honda and make hp for top speed. But at the same time still get all the launch from a dig using the hybrid system. Kind of like VTEC but better lol
this is not an appropriate topic for this channel or this discord
ok bro, thanks
Welcome
Since forza 8 is considered βdeadβ from an update standpoint, will there still be online tournaments held by logitech in the future?
no one knows what the plan for future events is
FM7 continued receiving competition support until 2021, two years after its last update in 2019. That gives me some confidence that we'll maybe see another LMGC, but I don't want to get my hopes up. FM'23 could very well be completely dead at this point. Only time will tell.
I really hope that we get to have another lmgc
Same, i missed out on the last one
I do too. Unless this last LMGC was it and the next one will take place on Horizon 6. However, Horizon's competitive features have always been lackluster compared to Motorsport, so I don't even know how that would work for streaming/broadcasting unless FH6 gets a major overhaul to its competitive features. Not to mention the fact that the Horizon titles have always been open-world casual games, which goes against the "sim-racer" demographic Logitech is targeting with these McLaren G Challenges.
Well have to see how or if horizon has comp features. No arguing horizon will have a larger user base tho
oh yeah, Iβm so hyped for fh6 but I also hope they donβt make a recycled horizon again
If they make another recycled horizon then if they make fh7 its not getting a playerbase
Didn't FH4 have a Ranked system? Not sure how it worked as I never played it.
Yeah FH4 did have a ranked system. Don't remember much about it though because I wasn't competitive then.
Idk why they didn't add it to FH5
does anyone know how to enable the rpm LED on the g923 for forza horizon 5 or anygame really
As far as I know Forza horizon 5 doesn't support it
was hoping someone knew of any 3rd party software I know of 2 but 1 doesnβt work for the Xbox/pc version of g923 and the other doesnβt work for fh5 specifically lmao
Ah yeah as an Xbox player I don't rly know much about software
Haha valid. Yea this is weird. My friend has the pro Logitech wheel I have the g923 and his wheel works for carx drift and street on Xbox but when on pc like mine nothing other the steering and stuff works. Like the buttons and stuff donβt work when trying to use as a controller if you know what I mean
Is Logitech G Hub one of them?
No idea if that will work or if FH5 just doesn't support the RPM thing
No g hub is Logitech software.
https://leds-control.webgrimes.com/ This was one that works for PS (supposedly) I havenβt tried it because I donβt have a PS wheel I have the Xbox one. And this is the other one that works for other games and other forza but not FH5
This one works for other games and other forza games but not fh5 https://fanaleds.com/
And this one for Linux users https://github.com/IvanVojtko/logitech-linux-rpm-led
So you are on PC correct? Does the G Hub not work?
Ohhh wait
I see, you want 3rd party?
Not sure on that sorry, I think the G Hub will work. But if you want 3rd party I wouldn't know.
Ghib doesnβt work for the rpm lights on Forza and I havenβt checked other games other than CarX street and drift where the g923 doesnβt work in menus or anything if that nature
Yes
Ah darn, sorry not sure about that
Hello!
I took part in the Logitech McLaren G Challenge Winter 2025 Bonus Stage and I was wondering if there has been any official announcement regarding the bonus prize winners (sweepstakes).
I checked the leaderboard and the event page but couldnβt find any information.
Could someone clarify if the winners have already been contacted or announced?
Thank you!
I dont think theyve announced anything yet, they usually take a while (like a long while) to announce winners for anything. They have announced all the past winners in #πrace-results and theres nothing there for the bonus stage yet, so I dont think they've decided on a winner. Itll probably be announced there when they do, just be patient with everything from logitech giveaways
Oh ok, thank u so much
No problem, good luck!
Yeah bro add me
Hi, how can I register and could someone explain how it works?
This event has concluded, but when the next event starts the information will be posted in #πg-challenge. π
Generally you have to join this discord, and then signup and register on the logitech g website.
I only found about this Logitech Comp through Gamesmen and Reddit. I also learnt never to go do the competition at the Gamesmen ever again ROFLMAO.
That's news to me if it did. I only briefly played FH4. Got bored of it after a couple weeks and almost never played it again after that. That's always what happens with Horizon. Fun for a couple weeks, then I get bored and I never touch it again. I'm hoping FH6 will be different, but it's a stretch to expect anything different.
I like going on horizon sometimes to install impossible upgrades and go crazy with cars around the map but thatβs about it lol
Fh4 did indeed have ranked
Same but i never enjoyed FH4 map. FH5 map feels better to me. But FH3 and FH2 maps feels best
FH3 is my favorite Horizon of the "modern" Horizons, but I still wouldn't say I love it. It was a 6/10 for me. I didn't love it nor did I hate it, I just prefer track racers. FH4 is a 4/10, and FH5 is a 2/10. The only one I truly liked was FH1 since there was real progression and a story to follow. Absolutely zero incentive to play when you're handed everything from the beginning. Starting off in a slow Fiat Punto and working your way up to a Porsche Carrera GT is part of what made mid-2000s racers like NFS Most Wanted so fun. There was actually stuff to work towards. If I don't have a list of things to do or a set of objectives to achieve, I have zero motivation and zero reason to play.
I agree with progression. I enjoy more just open world driving than track racing as Im more of a below average sunday driver.
I rate FH5 higher for map usage but i agree overall the with the rating as it has less features than FH4
visually I would say fh4's map is better, but drivingwise fh5 takes it, especially with the way that you probably will drive s2 and x class cars most of the time in both games
fh4 map is the goat
yeahh
Ya bro fr
I think ta5 has a good point, going faster for longer feels better in FH5 but FH4 is visually better. 10/10 take
also, at least 5 does not crash your computer unlike fh4
at least in terms of the valve store version with fh4
FM4 is the real goat π
I only played fm2
FH2? FM2 is so old
All the forza's were pretty good. FM2 was solid too, FM4 was like the NFL 2k 05 of forza. It had more content and features than any other FM. Leaderboards were amazing, spec and open rivals that people actually pushed. Car clubs where you could share cars from your garage with people in your car club. So you'd have your garage and the club garage, so many good cars to choose from. They'd come tuned and painted just like the car is in their garage.
Then they had a private lobby directory where players could find or host private lobbies with custom settings. People could host cat and mouse, hardcore lobbies with forced cockpit view and no assists etc. There was just so much diversity in the gameplay. The replay value was the best. People were playing it for years, my old club / league was still running races on fm4 until around fm7.
I started in FM1 and played them all pretty thoroughly. Never really got into Horizon. To me GTAV does open world driving the best. I'd rather be able to shoot back at people who drive with GTA/Horizon race craft. π€£
I had like a 50%+ win percentage on GTAV races for a while, good times.
fm2 yeah, on x360, which was my first console, or any electronic device I ever got if we do not count rc cars
then I only tried fh1, and played fh4 fh5, aaand probably will play 6 too
OG life πͺ
I mean I play horizon because 1, it has the best handling, and 2, because getting things set up in gta online is
lol it helps that I played from the start
Once you get to lvl 5 in the server you can post gifs #πearn-xp
Doesn't take long if you're relatively active, ranks take expontentially more xp as you go up
lvl 15 you unlock the g-lounge, private chat for elite members and staff to joke around. Pretty fun in there, all the sweats from all the events and the staff. They have exclusive giveaways on occasion in there too.
yeah, just now when I got lvl1, bot told me about the exclusive giveaways lol
Mostly get XP from talking and playing in events, if you place you get a chunk of server XP manually added. That's part of how I leveled up.
probably
though nothing is worse than the casino heist which really drove me to the point of not touching the game. Even though I really like the cars
It's a lot easier when you level up. IMO the best way to make money is to run the Bogden heist over and over with a friend and glitch the second act final over and over. You can do the final in about 12 minutes and then dash quit out of the game at certain point in the cut scene. The person who hosts doesn't get paid since they quit and reset, so you alternate with a friend and make roughly 1 mill every 30 minutes. Or every 15 if you're trying to pump up one person.
Basically the cutscene starts with the Avenger opening and the first guy walks down the stairs, as the second person starts to step out of the Avenger hit the guide button and dashquit the game. When you load back in the Final is there to start again and your buddy still gets paid.
Sometimes it glitches and there's an invisible wall in the hanger that won't let you park the avenger, but if that happens there's another mission you have to do to open the invisible door again. I'd have to google it to remember which one it is but that was the fix.
now this is exactly what my problem is about it lol
there are glitches that actually make you money, and there are those, which will make you want to do not so good things
and you really need to know those small bits and yeah, I highly dislike that
Does the xp go out at the same time as headsets?
Roughly ya, after it's all verified. I'm sure they focus on shipping them before XP though.
Whaaaat I love the casino heist π₯² when you're just messing around with friends to set up and do the heists they obviously take longer but are so much more enjoyable, me and my friends arent usually in it for the money, just a good time (until the host has to decide who gets what cut)
the thing that you gotta walk from the vault, and to it otherwise the game just throws you apart is too much for me
Are you talking about how the game bugs out in the vault hallway occasionally? I've seen that online but its never happened to any of us
thats so good. It happened multiple times with me and the peeps I played with
Damn yeah I've heard its a common problem, do you and them play on pc?
Oh i'm lvl 5 now sick
Nice
wtf was that
No idea lol
automod has been super busy this evening. I havent been able to catch what its been removing yet
no fr I kept checking the βnewβ notifs only to find there was nothing new
these bots are going crazy today
Yeah same, I get that on other servers too
Today itβs just on here for me
Yeah, only one other server for me. It might be links or something, not sure.
the one that gets caught here most is discord links/invites
Yeah that's what the msg that Scarecrow and I saw. Didn't know what the content of it actually was though.
considering its hitting like 3 or 4 channels at a time, I can make some assumptions but none of which would be approprite for this discord
jfc I just caught a delayed glimpse and itβs just invites one after the other
yeah, I did
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/357972850735
Anyone done the magnetic microswitch mod, can you point me to a guide?
i can only find videos for the return magnets that bolt around the hub.
Maybe that's why? We only played on xbox
probably
Gotta be lvl 5
Hey guys how can I get the best tunes for my cars
Downloading tunes off leaderboards is the fastest way. You can learn to tune but that's a labor of love that takes years.
Yeah I try to that but apparently there locked and I know Iβve been messing with it a little for a while now
Go in my profile, go to my twitch page, join forza verse and pendulum tuning garage. PTG HLC we do weekly and there's top drivers and tuners sharing numbers. Forza Verse has a plethora of community verified tuning numbers shared. Forza Verse is made and run by forza esports veterans.
If the link to ptg is old you can google ptg forza twitter and the link is on top. Keeps me sharp for the LMGC events. 
Thanks Iβll check it out
Ugh its been a month where are the bonus round winners
It's like a 1 in 50000 chance to win it anyway
Yeah which means its like gambling which means I need it now
@tepid thicket I guess the real odds are 50/50
Trueeee
You either get it or you dont
I like those odds, and besides ive probably got a better chance at winning something from the bonus round then the actual rounds and races themselves
VAS????
Oh I need change my name back 
How did ohne spawn on forza chatπ
The POSER
Ladies ladies please
Dw you're still a G too
A Logitech, G.
10/10 marketing
now that was a quick delete from automod
I didnt even see it 
I diiiid
yo, in yalls opinions, whats the best fh game
More like 1 in 2000... There's no way 50000 ppl went through the whole process of signing up. Either way, a chance is a chance
6
that is currently out
4
5 is good it just has a terrible map
the single best part is like the 10 mi highway with the danger sign at the right end
Thought that certain APAC countries wasnt able to do it. Like Aus lol
We can't
That's insane
But also i could care less about bonus rounds
Yeah same lol
Although Fujimi is cool
Unless you win something :p
I already won something
Woah you won the steering wheel and a chance to go to McLaren? Noice!
I said something
Yknow what no. Ur a bulli. I'm leaving

π
Bonus rounds are my only chance because I spent a whole day just trying to get a clean lap lol
Well that is Fujimi Kaido in a nut shell, track is a grind. 
Is 6:29 a good time for the 919 on Nordschliefe? Track was wet conditions
Running no TCS, ABS or ESC + sim steering on controller
I've been practicing without ABS as I know it's probably quicker to drive without it but controller doesn't make it easy
If youβre not lapping the nordschleife in under a minute, you need to hang up the wheel and join the circus
Fuh knows i donβt memorise Nurburgring lap times for different cars. Try and recreate it in rivals and see how you do, compare it to the fastest 919 time you can find
Okay thanks man
All good
P class is usually sub 6 minute in the dry. Like 5:30-5:40 ish? I'm not sure about the wet though. Depends on how wet as well. Sounds pretty good though
I think the porsche is just about X class so idk if that changes anything
I'm not sure what rain setting it was as I just set random. But it was heavy and I couldn't see too far down the road so I'm guessing either heavy rain or rainstorm
If you want a good idea of where it stands try running it again in P class rivals. The leaderboard is dominated by the #1 ferrari but you should be able to go a lot faster in there. There's also more rubbering in rivals. Rivals has 100% track rubbering while test drive is only 50%.
Okay, thanks zach!
hello everyone
then save up and buy one. no asking for handouts in this server
I have a c9 time on one of the nords on rivals I think
bro i said im broke
sorry to hear that. you arent allowed to ask for people to buy you things here
ohh i didnt know
Lol we all here the prizes, and stay for the company.
So true, I joined just for mclaren challenge
Is there an active competition
No
π‘
same lol
Aimlabs has one going, just nothing for forza right now.
new to forza 5
motorsport or horizon?
horizon
oh, thats good
yess started with sim though
not sure what type of content it can give
I mean you probably will be better with a controller in fh5
yess even with the keyboard it is little tough with the rig
but i am trying to get better
yeah
some helpful things: centrifugal forced intake is your friend
if you brake at 80%, you get the best braking (abs off)
ohhh will keep that in mind
but for now just have fun, and dont really get into the nerdy bits
that will get you the best experience in the single player
okay i will enjoy thinking of making the ride content if you ever saw on youtube that they ride
like when they just drive at a normal driving pace?
yess exactly
ahh
not good or what
Whatever makes you have fun
yesss if you have spare cars in fh5 and wants to send few that will be good
You cant gift cars to one exact person
ohhh is it i didnt knew that no worries
If you have every race won, story missions 3stared and stuntjumps speedzones etc on 3 star, you will have a good amount of collection
And getting 3 stars is not hard
Yess it is not but will took sometime to get used to with the wheel though
h
sir this is a forza channel
It certainly is π€£
hard to tell sometimes
I mean, we all have a story, when a message slipped to the wrong place
Certainly spam
Automod is sniping them quickly
Thank god we have an auto mod in here now, saves us so much work.
kaboom
Anybody knows when the next Race days start?
No, they dont announce much until it's official.
Curious myself of what the next Race Days is myself.
Booo
why did you scare me man?
Mb mb
I hope it comes sooner than later no matter what it is

Havent seen you in here, very ominous of you
Im hoping thats a good sign
Does skill rating really mean anything in motorsport? Im at 4979 and feel like I race against people with the same skill as I did when I was lower, except for the person in first with the best car and best tune gaining 20 seconds on the next best driver every lap
Same goes for safety rating, S has the same amount of collisions and big penalties as B rating
Ya it really doesnt mean anything. I dont know if matchmaking ever actually used it. Its more of a gimmick. No one takes it seriously.
If they did ever use it for matchmaking, they dont anymore because of low population.
Its not hard to reach S 4999 if you run meta tunes, qualify first, and just hot lap the race.
That gets boring though which is why a lot of guys only run weird cars or start from the back.
(or swap to other sim titles π )

Thank you for clarifying. Iβm in
I love coming here but itβs all ghost notifs and I see this gif lol
Lmao yeah tons of ghost notifs from this channel, I like to keep things fresh though π
Most of the ghost notifs are things getting automodded anyway
This is pretty much the only channel i'm active in on this server, and despite it being mostly dead its still better than the never ending stream of people complaining about emails for aimlabs stuff lmao
Hello
Tuff yo @ocean surge
I know
@hollow basin
Agreed
G-lounge is pretty hype when you unlock it π
Thats level 15 though i'm still only level 5 π
Just hit 6 with that message
Should I just farm xp by telling people to be patient in aimlabs channels π
Even THE john nordschleife is only level 11 according to the leaderboard
spamming will get your xp reset so just dont be a pest lol
Ofc Im not that kind of guy
If its relevant it isnt spam π
I don't really know how to get that kind of xp since aimlabs channels only have people complaining about emails and general is people complaining about problems they're having with logitech products π
And this channel is dead 80% of the time, really only active during the time trial challenges and even still its not really active
most of the people in that channel have gotten there by being helpful to some extent, whether its the aimlabs stuff or in here. its hard to really do that here without an active event running tho
a cheater way to do it in here is argue with people when they complain forza or the event isnt "real" enough π
but not actually argue... be respectful
True true, I don't know anything about logitech products except for like one and even still I dont know anything about troubleshooting, I dont use aimlabs (but would benefit from using it...) But Im glad to argue about the "realism" of forza lmao
I'll just tell people to be patient in aimlabs I suppose
it doesnt always need to focus on logitech products. lots of people in here with knowledge about other brands so its always worth asking about. never know who is reading it. Great example is I have a Logi DD wheel, but @edgy current has Simagic and I know others are floating around as well
I've got a G920 wheel setup which I think is how many people sim race here
(i dont use it much though)
most are on a controller in forza, its just designed for use with that so its a better experience
Yeah exactly why I dont use the wheel π
I do love driving with the wheel, but as you said controller just is better for the game, maybe if I did end up switching to a more "competitive" sim game I'll set my wheel back up but for now its far more work than its worth
Maybe someday Never Goon... maybe someday...
@storm stone just finished his grind the other day 
How long did it take?
the grind is "variably" long
if youre a heavy yapper like me it takes some time but not THAT long
i just checked the level messages from logitech bot
level 1 reached on february 12th (2025) level 15 reached on may 13th (2025)
so if youre really talkative, it takes almost exactly 3 months
Yes
Up until purple I thought it was fast but to orange it felt like a while (although I havenβt been on here much anyway so that may be why)
Very interesting
Well I joined in december last year just for the g challenge and was really only active during it and in this channel so unless they start spamming more forza time trials Im uncertain of my ability to reach lvl 15 in any reasonable amount of time
Yeah without the challenge this channel is dead so you got a point there
Hoping thereβs another soon
Me too, I need more things to do on forza anyway
as a professionally unemployed aimer, the aimlabs channel is the easiest way to get xp if you interact with fellow aimers a lot
general chat isnt the best because most of the time its just people begging for professional level tech support in general instead of the dedicated support channel
PTG HLC is a fun weekly event pendulum tuning garage does. If you google "ptg forza twitter" there's a discord link at the top of their page.
I did the spec tune last week, RBM Lightning did this week's. Current week is the #1 Ferrari, P class on Suzuka Full.
Its just a for fun community hot lap challenge anyone can do for fun. Theres a wide range of talents doing it too.
Interesting, I'll check it out thanks
It's pretty much all I do on forza right now π€£
I doubt I'll be on par with anyones times but it'll at least give me something to do
Just do it for the love of hotlapping
When does the Forza g challenge start ?
Absolutely true
There's plenty of people who are off pace doing it for fun. Just an excuse to run some laps and try different combos. Its generally a car thats off meta but still capable. We've front paged some interesting cars 
Is everyone running generally the same tune?
Usually we tune our own but people have been worried about bump tuning being unfair, so its spec tuning right now. Everyone has to use the same tune. Lightning's tune this week, he's #2 world right now so its a good tune 
I've only done a couple laps so far, at a 1:35 ~80th. The car can do 31's though
Ahhhh okokok cool, Ive tried out the ferrari and have done decent so far, I might try to push it further but the 31s are crazy
Ya thats basically a perfect lap
I'm up to 34.4 now and I know where I can improve so thats something at least
Better than I did in 2 or 3 laps so thats pretty good! Around 50th world?
27th world, 5th in america
The only problem Im dealing with now is while I know where I can improve Im not sure how to improve i, I'll keep racing rivals and watching replays to try and get more info though
The rival im racing now has nearly the exact same time as me, but they're faster in the first half of the track while im faster in the second, so Im trying to figure out what I can do better in the repetitive left right left right part
this chicanery..
Watch lightning's replay with telemetry on, itll give you a hint. Study the replay then chase his ghost to pace you.
Hard to push without over driving, just have to find the goldilocks.
Yeah thats pretty much what Ive been doing, that replay is what got my 36 to 34
a good nightβs sleep helps too
Definitely, I always play better after a good nights rest. Im too burnt after work to function properly so all my best gameplay is done on weekends.
Yeah remember last week I first ran some laps and improved like 3-4s on the following day? Nothing like a rested brain
Yeah I noticed that from the g challenge, i would set a crazy first or second lap immediately after waking up
I did manage to shave off 0.05 seconds bringing my 34.4 to 34.3 πΌ
I think I set an invalid 34.0 though
ZaGoodman?
Tis I
I'm at a 34.5 so far, give me a second π
Nooooo dont do itπ πππ
I'm streaming the anguish right now π€£
Zachβs next target
Hes already set an invalid lap way quicker than mine man
Im losing time I dont know how to recover if im honest
dw he does that lol
take a break and try again later maybe, also restarting the game helps too
I'll chase your ghost, I bet you're losing a bunch coming out of the esses like I was. There's so much time there
You're correct, I lose a lot of time there, specifically in the first corner, I have no idea how to get through that as quick as you or lightning
Barely brake and downshift to 2nd, engine braking mostly
watch his replay and really focus on where he lift's and downshifts, the actual shift timing.
The first inside apex on the right is where you lift coming off the straight
just feather the brake enough to downshift 2nd without locking the rears and then coast engine braking, might have to delay the 2nd gear downshift a little
engine braking helps the car turn, so if you over brake its actually turning less
Alright alright up to 33.85 now
I haven't touched the game since the last LMGC ended. It would be awesome to see one last Summer season, but the odds of that are incredibly slim. I feel like they would've already announced it by now if there was going to be another one. Maybe we'll see the LMGC return in FH6, but I have no clue how that would work in a Horizon game.
it could work the same way as FM, but unsure if they will have to make some custom maps.
I'm mainly referring to a broadcast perspective. Horizon hasn't had in-game replays/spectate like Motorsport has, so I have no clue how broadcasting the races would work.
Good point. But maybe they might, especially if they got ranked. Otherwise it would be the old school way where they request players to provide their vod
The only way for that to happen would be for each driver to share a pov on twitch. And the caster can get all the stream links and skip around the different povs. It's what they do in horizon teamwars, not ideal not having spectate but it works
That would be bad news for me, then. I live in middle-of-nowhere Arizona, my internet struggles enough just doing online racing. If I were to then add streaming on top of that, I'd probably only make it five minutes before my internet kills itself. π
Maybe Horizon 6 will finally implement spectate and other features from FM that have been missing, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I guess the game has a new time attack system, so that's at least a step in the right direction, but Horizon has left me disappointed too many times to have much hope left for the series.
Understandable , I've always been a horizon nerd so I'm just hoping the physics are good. It'll hold me over until I can get a PC and make the switch over to LMU
Sim racing is fun it's just a lot to setup. Took me a couple months to figure everything out and im sure ill keep adjusting. 
We take for granted how convenient playing on controller is.
Seat height, seat angle, pedal height, pedal deck angle, pedal face angle, pedal distance, pedal spacing, wheel position and angle, monitor distance and orientation, brake pedal feel, throttle throw distance, FFB adjustments, FOV adjustments, mapping a million buttons on the wheel. Not to mention just building the gaming PC and Rig. Adds up quick.
I only use my wheel/pedal setup to mess around in BeamNG.drive. Becoming proficient on wheel/pedal is like learning and instrument, and I just haven't had the motivation to dedicate the time to get to a point where I feel decently competitive in sims. The fact that you can compete with the best in the world with just a standard Xbox controller is what makes Forza so appealing.
I also don't have the space for a proper sim rig, so my wheel is attached to a desk and my pedals are on the carpet, which definitely isn't ideal, but I have to make do as I don't have the space. I'm hoping to have enough $$$ saved to buy a house in the next five years, then I can dedicate an entire room to making an awesome sim setup.
My dream is for Horizon to have Motorsport physics, but I know that's not gonna happen. My main issue with Horizon physics has always been the braking. Horizon braking feels so strange compared to Motorsport.
Ya I went out of order and just bought the rig and stuff haha. Luckily my bedroom is pretty big in the place I rent since I already stream in here. Sim racing is a labor of love for sure.
Having everything setup to your liking makes driving night and day though. I could barely get around the track without spinning when I started. The shift timing is probably the most jarring difference when you swap to sim.
Forza doesn't translate how bad cold race tires really are. Huge culture shock when you try the colds on iracing.
Street tires have more grip than cold race tires.
Nothing announced for forza so far
Is anyone currently running a G920 on updated recent firmware?
They don't announce it until it's about to come out, they like to surprise us.
Hwo about I DESTROY YOU
Ok then...
what the
Rock paper scissors shoot!
I havent used it in about a month but thats what I rock
Does the firmware all work good (from last known use)?
Yeah I didnt have any problems, at least not on forza (the only thing I use it for)
I play racing game with iris xe.π± π± π±
Whats the best steering wheel for starter under 250$?
the g29 is pretty good
you can get the moza r3 pc version for that but thats pc only, there is an xbox version but its a little above that I think
mozas big benefit is its direct drive
thats in USD tho, not sure how that would convert
forza horizon 6 PC spec sheet came out today. It actually looks like a pretty reasonable ask. 1650 for min (1080 @60fps) and a 4070ti without RT at max (4k 60), with a 5070ti for 4k with RT using upscaling
I better get more than 60fps I swear...
The 5070 is designed for 2k gaming so that's probably why. 5080 has more cores to pump out fps on the higher resolution.
We'll see how it runs on ultra. π€ it's optimized well.
It being 4k with no rt or upscaling with a 4070ti is unfortunately pretty decently optimized these days. The post says it'll run in a steam deck too
Will be interesting to see how it runs for me. I got R5 5600, 32GB RAM, 6600XT. Also running 1440p π
Hopefully it is okay
As long as I get 50 - 60fps I'm happy
cant wait to race throw japan
according to my calculations, if you make fh6 look the same as fh5, you will get the sameish fps, since you probably will be gpu bound
and also the last 10% of detail will cost you the most in terms of performance, so you can get a really smooth experience without needing to make the game look like poo
but what I really hope is that they make good dlss4 implementation
Anybody wanna play F1 π
Yo question should I get a meta quest 3? Or a g29?
yeah i have the xbox version its pretty good allbeit i dont have much a reference
its pretty strong and strong enough that it will give you some fight but your not gonna have to put too much into fighting it at peak levels
Yeah the R3 is very decent for the price. I would go up to an R9 at some point, but my priority is a cockpit such as the NRL victory.
Depends what you are playing. If you want to get into Sim Racing go with the G29 imo.
Sim Racing in VR would be very cool though. But no point in Sim Racing in VR without a wheel imo.
I used to sim race in VR all the time, and I know a lot of people still do. I switched away from it becasuse more and more, newer releases either dont support it, or have shaky support that makes it difficult to use, so I ended up just using a 21:9 ultrawide and its been amazing
So I should just get a g29?
WE BACK?
Looks like it! π
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh BABYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Seems like its only race days events though, not seeing any online event. Just that the finals for race days are online.
Itll be a lot of fun for people with events near them but I dont see any for NA.
Looks like I'll just be a spectator this time around.
ton of events near me
Jealous, ive been warming up on wheel too.
sounds like a good excuse to use that simrig of yours instead π€£
Sucks that NA is excluded, but I guess it's only fair considering the number of NA exclusive competitions we've gotten over the years, such as LateShift and the Pfaff Challenge.
Howβs it going playing forza on the rig?
I tried it once on oval and wasnt impressed, but I didnt mess with the ffb settings much.
The default settings really are terrible, it was hard enough driving on oval.

here in logitech lol
