Back under the dust sheet

The crisis appears to be over.

Now that Spaces seems to have got itself sorted out, and Green Bamboo is healthy once again, it's time to make this the understudy once again. With GB, I have an established brand, and if all the recent bother was merely to allow for updates there, then there seems to be no point in trying to establish an audience somewhere else. It's taken 18 months for GB to get this far, and I'm loth to try and re-establish an audience. I'll no doubt post here from time to time, but naturally, you can expect gaps.

FH5, Series 37, Week 4

-
With the return of the academic year I’m probably not going to be posting entries till sometime on Saturdays. I have a fair amount of time on Friday between lunchtime and my return to school to get much of the Festival playlist done, but I also have P1 and P10 classes and on some occasions, am likely to prefer a nap. The treasure hunt, as I discovered, wanted you to add a new part to your Ford Focus. I tried adding a part I’d already bought, but the game was having none of it. But in reality, I assume that this was another attempt to force players to use the Test Track which, I feel, has nothing practical to offer. I ended up doing a wreckage HA because there was one near the location of the treasure chest. The weekly was in the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Job done, but drag racing and drifting? The Audi S1 had no problems with the speed zones. I switched to the 2012 Mini JCW for the Trailblazer because in testing it had no problems hitting the target time and then some. What happened? I kept ...

FH5, Series 38, preview

Lazy. My thought – to anticipate my post about the final week of Series 37 – is that Series 38 looks a little lazy. The Forzathon Shop seems to be alternating between HW and 10th-anniversary merch. Yes, I’m sure newer players will be delighted to be able to acquire such items if they missed out on them. Four new cars in the playlist. The 1995 Mitsubishi Evo III seems to be a refugee from that popular Forza Motorsport which everyone is playing [ They are? –ed.]. I’m hoping it’ll be decent on dirt, but I already have my go-to Evos for seasonals in the game. I’m also not sure about the 2022 Subaru WRX now that I’ve heard AR12 Nick give it a shrug. Again, I have my preferred, ready-to-go Imprezas/WRX/STi Subarus. Is this like an SUV in that it looks like it ought to be out in the countryside, but never ever strays off tarmac? In other words, it’s a saloon car that aspires to be a rally car. As for the Toyota Chaser, I admit I’ve never heard of it. I assume that it’s a rival to the Nissan ...

FH5, Series 30, Week 2, The Trial

-
It started badly. I was thinking about practising the three races, but decided to simply get on with it. There were three of us, including one player in a Lexus LFA. In spite of coming 3rd in Granjas , it was a major team loss. I came 1st in Callejera , leading a team win. Somehow in Cruce de Valle I ended up in 6th place to another team loss even though I thought I’d made better progress than that. The problem was the player in the LFA, although I can’t say why beyond guessing they lacked the competence to handle the car. I immediately joined a new team and took 3rd place in Granjas (1st player) and 3rd in Callejera (1st player after starting in last place). Job done. I could see the two drivatars ahead of me, but could do nothing to dent their lead. However, the rest of the team was somewhere behind me in full support in both races. And that’s a third LFA in my garage. The two attempts to do the Trial were utterly contrary. In the first one the drivatars seemed to be overwhelmingl...
