Forza 5 players?

Disclaimer: Sorry, not sure where I should post this?? I know you real racers probably laugh at this but what am I supposed to do while the real car is down? lol

Anyway, since the IROC in the garage is awaiting funds and I have some down time, I started playing Forza 5 on the new XBOX ONE. After some serious time tuning the thing I have managed to get the car racing at a respectable 1-3 finish on multi-player. I just would like to know if anyone else on TGO plays and if they also have a bad *** IROC or a GTA that they use?

My IROC is pretty easily identifiable. White A-Class car with white wheels, single stripe on a cowl hood with "www.thirdgen.org" written on the rear bumper in black. User name INTENSE GEMINI ~

Since I own the car IRL, I found myself pretty serious about the car in the game and would like to see other thirdgens in the game that run well. Most I see are usually at the back of the pack and have less-than-capable tunes and drivers. I can provide a couple tunes that are proven to put you in the top 3 95% of the time with minimal assists. The car is very predictable and requires little effort to control.

Another finding is the brake balance settings are BACKWARDS!! On the game. How this got missed by Microsoft I have no idea.

Anyway, I figured if there were any fellow thirdgen racers online, I may find them here.

Happy Racing.

Too many chefs in the kitchen. It takes hundreds of people to make these games now. Stuff like that can get messed up easily. Plus, the game testers might not really know enough about cars to understand that setting.
