be online and youll get an invite from the host of the race. then just wait for them to set it up and begin racing.
Check gfinity site first once the brackets are posted. Often times the host is a random Xbox generated gamertag. Usually a few hours if not Friday, you'll know who the lobby host will be.
Make sure in you Xbox settings that you can allow game invites. There have been issues with this. Usually the host will send you a friend request before inviting you. Make sure you add them back.
Hard reset your Xbox a couple hours before you play. This should prevent issues of not being able to join.
The race will start 10 minutes after scheduled start time. You'll get a game invite anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes before scheduled start time. So yes you could be waiting for up to 30 minutes.
Practice the other cars for Saturday. Trust me in that many people don't practice much and it's not uncommon to move on to Sunday by virtue of no mistakes and solid lap times. There are some folks who are error prone despite being wicked fast on rivals. I've moved on to top 24 by driving smooth, lost out because of minimal practice, lost out by a handful of points only because of minor errors, and even tied for the last top 24 spot but missed out due to tie breakers. Only once did I qualify via rivals top 24 in my division before weekend races. I've seen people qualify below top 50 in their division and still move on.
Also as FYI. If you are in my lobby, I will most likely not be playing this Saturday. Buying a new car instead:)
