Thought I'd give this a throw and see if it sticks to the ceiling...
EXOR Hot Laps - 1 week events with spec. cars and tracks. Post a screenshot of your time and I'll add it to the board. Tuning is allowed (there often won't be much to tune however, as these cars will not be built up).
As incentive for folks to post times, at the end of each week one person from the leaderboard will be chosen at random to choose the next week's car and track. Any car (in stock form), and any track may be chosen. This will be a pooled random selection, meaning that after you are selected, your name will be out of the pool until everyone within the pool has been selected. The pool will then be reset.
Week 1 - Chevy Camaro '02 [C|481] @ COTA West

I'll look into it.

On a related note, I'm working on getting a couple of static HTMl pieces setup on the forum that should let me display google docs and other things to make event results a lot nicer to deal with. Hopefully I can get it figured out next week.
Attachments are currently turned off for a few reasons. Mostly due to load speeds and server space. So that means that any pictures, videos etc. are hotlinked from their source that it offsite.
The other thing is that up until just recently you could directly link from OneDrive pretty easily. Since you can save an image to OneDrive from the XOne that was a great solution. Images load quickly and bandwidth isn't an issue.
Recently, OneDrive and Google have changed their architecture and they now use what look like variable urls for images. I don't know the reasons behind this but it makes it really difficult to get those images onto a forum.
In the mean time any static or permalinked image works just fine (imgur, tinypic, photobucket, flickr etc.) and even the forza gallery on forzamotorsports.net works (albeit with some slow load times).
I'm working on a solution that might be easier. Hopefully, I can figure out a consistent way to link images directly from OneDrive or maybe Upload Studio.
