Forza Horizon 2: Team Races Club Division Explained

Imagine that your Forza Horizon 2 Club decides to head into team racing and you come across a team smaller than your own. What happens? Does the game split up your Club despite the fact that you’ll all be scoring points towards the same goal? Does the race go ahead unevenly, sacrificing fairness for overall scoring purposes? Thankfully, neither of these options are true, as explained by Ian Webster of Team 10 earlier today.

Webster, who goes by the name HeliosT10, took to Neogaf to explain how team races work in regards to clubs in Forza Horizon 2:

Teams are assigned by the game in order to keep the pace of the game-flow up. The game will try to keep Club members in the same team, so if you have a session comprised of two Clubs the teams will be split along Club lines. Scoring for team races is actually designed to allow uneven teams to battle fairly (e.g. a 3 man team can beat a 6 man team if they are better drivers) so even if you don’t have even numbers your Club may still be kept together in one team. However, we don’t allow (say) 11 Club members to go in one team against a lone player in the other – in instances like that, the Club will end up split between the two teams. However, you are still earning Club XP bonuses regardless, which benefits you and your Club.
