Things to sort out before we do this:
Who's in?
When can we all get together?

We did FM5 races on Sundays at 2pm (EST). It worked out for most people. But I want to get everyone's input on this. What days/times work for the majority of folks?
We'll probably do a couple of road trips per meet up, shouldn't take more than an hour. So time commitment shouldn't be too bad. Thoughts? Ideas?

I'll post this in the main OT aswell so we don't miss anyone.

I think that's 11pm where I am. A bit late but I can play for an hour or so before I need to shoot off to bed.

Thats like 6am for me (Sydney)
Funnyly enough come end of November i will probably still be awake around then, so ill be glad to join some meets.

But as for now, i really cant make it.
Ill still earn for the club, and anytime i meet Gaffers ill play.

P.S If anyone in AUS/NZ or who is awake at really odd hours wants to add me gamertag is: BLACK STRiDE

Met a lot of fun gaffers playing Destiny on PS4 but don't have many RL friends or gaffers to pal around with on Xbone, look forward to slamming into your drivatars and doing some online racing. Just finished the first road trip in single player and absolutely loved it!

Just a reminder to folks wanting to join the club. The club invite functions don't work. The only way to get people into the club is through an invite from free roam. It only takes 5 minutes, but it does mean we both have to be online. So if you want to join, send me a message on live and I'll switch over and get things rolling.

Also, we'll be racing tomorrow at 2pm EST. Everyone is welcome to join and crash race. If the group isn't big enough we'll move it to a public lobby. Bring a mic there will be plenty of trash talking. :)

Sent invites to Halopower67, DeFrank and Cfer. Zenner and BTM are next up. Make sure you have registered a speed on the camera next to the main Horizon hub. That way I can send you an invite from there as opposed to meeting up in free roam.

What's the best way to round up some GAFers, or find where the action is, when hopping online? I was expecting to see some mmorpg-style controls & tools in the online club section UI, but I don't see any. I guess a shout-out on the Xbox activity feed is pretty much it, unless I'm missing something.

Sadly this is where the game is lacking. When we do weekend races I have to send invites through my friends list. Otherwise I don't know who's actually online. The club section of the menus needs some fixes. Even an "invite club to race" button would be great. But I could see sending out 1000 invites for a lobby that can only hold 12 or 16(can't remember) would be a strain on the servers. A simple green dot besides names of folks that are online would go a long way.

Club invites sent out to:
DocSeuss
Mr.Fusion
Moertel
AngryWhiteMan
Figments
Cowie
FrsDvl
akilshohen
Humidex
Adam Blue

You'll find the invite in the message center under social in the pause menu.

If you are on the original list and haven't got into the club and of course still play the game, shoot me a message and I'll sort you out.

We've been racing every weekend for the past weeks now. We post about that on the OT thread. So if you'd like to join us head over there.

Thanks so much! I appreciate your dedication so far beyond release. Took me a little while to get bit by the Forza bug.

Just found:

Smartglass >> Forza Horizon 2 >> Details >> Friends Who Play

Lists all friends who have that game, starting alphabetically with a green-dot list of those currently online. Handy.

You sir are the man! Nice find. Too bad we can't send invites from smartglass. That would be the best. Still useful though.

And to the folks who have recently posted about joining the club. I'll send out invites later tonight when the kids get off "the Netflix machine".

My name is Kyle, I have played some form of Forza since 2, but this is the first one (besides 3 I guess) to really sink its teeth into me! I am not very far yet (only got my xbox a few weeks ago, then lose my job, go figure) but I just have a great feeling when I play this game
