FM4 Raising the profile of Forza on RD

Dan Smith · Jan 5, 2012

As some of you will realize the amount of Forza players on RD as pretty small, so has anyone got any ideas on how we may be able to get more players on board?

Adrian made some great videos that are now showing on RDTV and we have had a couple of new members since. If anyone else can show some initiative to raise the profile of Forza on RD then maybe we could rival games like rFactor and iRacing to have some of the best racing around.

On the homepage. If you look to the right you'll see a little TV. It randomly plays different races from the RD YouTube channel.

Took it to the masses for an hour today. Not too bad fro idiots. Thought one way may be to stay in a lobby, see who races clean, then send message regarding Race Dept? Might give this a go.

We ought to do this more. I find multi-class races have cleaner drivers, even the people in slower cars move out of the way, and the faster drivers (for the most part!) do try to pass cleanly..

we could possibly do a C,B,A,S class cars for online races. We could plaster them in RD decals and make them available in the club garage and drive them in these races..

don't know what you others think of that though..

~~I would, cept I'm using a USB to run Forza 4 and it won't allow me to save replays unless I have it on the Xbox HDD~~

~~Xbox HDD is 4gb and only 100mb free and no I don't have a capture card.~~

~~Moved things around and now FM4 is on 2 HD's or maybe 3, I dunno! :eek:~~

~~Will be able to save it now though~~

Can't do it, apparently the Xbox 360 SLIM 4GB integrated HDD isn't an Xbox HDD :eek:

According to FM4...

There is a calendar for events, see online races on home page. Could we not get more noticed by posting our race events here or are we not big enough?

David Turner · Mar 29, 2012

Could post race events and such in FM4 forums.

tbh have you made a post in the fm.net teams/ clubs section? im no way near active enough on that forum but im sure if you started a thread in The Clubhouse section, maybe you could expand this group keeping it up to date,

Wayne Thomas · Apr 8, 2012

It's in racers lounge but point taken. The trick is to keep the thread 'alive' by, as you say, keeping it up to date.

ye basically, but the point i was trying to make as well is that you could put, well all of your events on the Forza forums, thing that i think makes it tricky is the licence membership business, but explainations with the leagues would sort it out i guess

Maybe one of our moderators could insert a hyperlink to the FM4 pages ? Andrew, Chris, Dan ........ The rest of us could check in to keep it topped up .... Would that work?

Every attempt I've made to advertise on FM.net ends up pointless, No one replies!!!

Don't know how many of you are on Facebook but just seen the Forza Motorsport Turn 10 Studios Game Page and they are asking people of any videos, fan sites or racing leagues that anyone would like them to spotlight. Just gotta let them know about it in the comments. I've given RD a mention but I suppose a few more mentions wont do any harm.
