I thought I would try and organise a night each week that we could all group up and session some tracks and help each other with setups ect
I will be on from 8pm most Fridays if anyone wants to join me.

Do you have a private server available?
I'll try to get on when I can but its a bit earlier than I usually get on tbh.

I was thinking of just using one of the empty servers already live but if there was enough of us I’m sure we could organise a private server.

I don't know if I would be able to make this Friday but most Fridays I would be able to make 10 PM UK time since that's what time I'm off work. It looks like for a 10 person max server for a month it is 12.99 USD so I would be willing to pay for a server every once in a while but not every month.

I haven’t looked into servers yet but if that’s the price then it’s probably worth a try. I just don’t want to organise a server and find we don’t have enough people to really get the use of it.
I thought if we can sort out a regular weekly session we could build our numbers up then maybe down the line sort out a race series or something?

Happy to give it a go but can you actually get into a server together? Its a while since i've tried the multiplayer but as far as I remember I always got placed automatically into a server and didn't get to choose which one I was placed in. |

You can go into the server list and pick a server to join instead of using the autojoin. |

So what sort of time would suit you guys to make this a regular Friday session?

Well I think that depends on what what we're going to do. If we're going to do a private server and do something like 60 minute practice, 30 minute qualy, then 40-60 minute race I would say 930 PM would be a good compromise. If we're going to server hop then I would say we can start at any time and people can get on as they're available so I'll leave it up to people who would be on earlier than me to say what's best for them.

I have just sorted a server out for a month. I have not set a password to join but there is an admin password, I’m assuming that’s to set race duration ect

I can hopefully get on a bit later if anyone is around to test it.

Slight technical difficulties. I did set up a server and it’s charged me for it but now apparently I don’t have one and it won’t let me log on with my phone. 🤷♂️

It drove me nuts so I gave up. Hope you get it sorted Wayne, or get your money back at least. |

Well I got onto a Russian server at Mount Panorama and had a bit of fun on my own in a quali run lol
Then just jumped into Hotlap mode and did a few laps around the same circuit. Forgot how much fun and challenge that track is but a run around it in Forza the other night reminded me so decided to try it again in this game.
I'll post a thread now where we can all log our best lap times at each circuit so at last can have that as something to give some competition.

I have never got on with it. Fastest lap thread Sounds like a good plan. I will try and get a server set up at some point. And if I can I will share with you guys the admin code for it so you guys can set up some more sessions whenever you want to use it |

I'll try and have a look at it again myself as well but by the sound of it the problems with setting them up are still the same. Seems just standard with this game that nothing is made easy for us on console.

Server is up and running, 15 min qualifying and 20 min race on silverstone. I don’t think the setup can be changed in the game so give me a shout if anyone wants it setup for a different track.
Server name is XRF Xbox Racing Forum practice sessions 👍

A little late to ask but is anyone going to be on this Friday? I'll get on as soon as I'm done with work if so.
