hey woom the thing with these is they claimed the name everywhere they could so there name is on alot of sites so they think its there name like you said there is no leaderboards for tandem but oh well id leave these guys to it there only a small group which are only known on here nowhere else or on the the last 2 corners of silverstone <lol

Shift n Drift is number 4 drift team for f4 annnd reason im stickkin up for them coz im mates with then and i can drift all 3 drive types only reason i said fwd leaderboards coz they r only ones up for f5

tandaming is not hard at all

So we gnas it here and talk or u commin for drift

Listen I'm not going to sit here and argue with you about a team name. All you need to worry about is your own team mates, and who you drift with. Quite frankly I don't care if there are other teams out there with the same name as us. We've had this argument with another team apex as well, and we're still here.

We're doing our own thing, you do yours.

I don't have an XB1 if you look at the OP, only person on our team right now who does is Liz.

But I'm on FM4 right now, in a public lobby. You might catch me on there.

look all of yall need to stop fighting over this and just become one team instead of four or five and choose a better leader I manage team monster energy we are managed by another team monster energy but our team leaders made a deal we race together but don't ever compete towards eachother for the good of the tama we have over 2000 people in between team monsters charters but we all came together and made a deal that's what team apex needs

Woom and Grimm you both are completely ignorant fools. Your comments look like something an illiterate moron would write. Your argument is pointless. Take a hike back to la la land.

:D i just get on the forums to see what everyones doing and i see this thread its glad to see apex back and BKS and Liz why don't you guys drift with me i get lonely

Sorry to burst it mate, but FM2 had no points, so your team apex is SURE to have been round since Fm2.

Theres no RANKINGS. Points is a one person thing, not a team collaboration. Go celebrate your stuff elsewhere. If your team is soooooo old and reputable, why no team thread?? Oh i forgot... no team.

You sir are the best, worst clown ever. At least team apex is highly sustainable.

also none of you have apex in your gamertags... so how would we know???

Im from TCD who are 17th and been around for 4 or so years and we have never heard of yous, Everyone who has played forza knows RelentlessShines team apex thats been running for over 5 years that has a huge reputation and respect for being number 1... you guys are weak and just want to feed off other peoples reputation, you guys are a disgrace to the forza community with your BS and Tandem 0 zero angle nonsense. If I had a penny for the number of times ive destroyed tandemers in real battles of points that shows who takes the best drift lines end of story YOUR NOT TEAM APEX!!

Well, where do you base that on; that we ESPECIALLY are not number one in tandem? Just have a look on RelentlessShine's Storefront of Forza 4 and see the tandems we did. There is a reason why one of the videos had over 4000 views! We tandem a whole track with really good angles on there. I have actually been in a tandem lobby with a couple of you guys and what I mainly see is that you just go as fast as you can around a corner with hardly any angle. Do not say I am generalizing, because I will not do that. It is just an experience, I am not saying you guys cannot do it like we do, but to patronize us tandem-wise is not fair. I have yet to see the disempowerment of that.




Completely agree with this argument! I honestly think Woom and Grimm should not have made a big fuzz about this. With all the respect, certainly Woom as he is not even in our team. Probably all ment well, but it was not really helpful. I mean we share the team name, and so do a couple other teams. Only you guys are very well known on the forums and us guys from our videos and leaderboards. So what? There is no actual prove of whom was first, and even then, you cannot file for a patent. (At least not yet.)


The reason why we have not a team thread is because we talk weekly with each other, and (out of my own perspective) we do not have to celebrate our performances. Would like to differentiate that the team leaderboards (points-wise) do consist out of more than just one person. Although I am sure you mean that it takes one to set a score, where a tandem involves more people.



This is just because most of us like our gamertags as they are, and additionally some of us cannot put TAPX in front of it, as the gamertag gets too long likewise.

All ive done is come onto this thread to see what is happening, I don't understand why people are making such a fuss over team names, it would of been a lot easier if some people stopped trying to create drama, trust me I saw enough of it on the fm4 forums, I don't wanna see it on here personally and if you have such a problem with certain people or team members, go complain to someone who cares, if any mods see this could you be able to clean up the rubbish out of this thread????



Anyway, hey you guys :) ive just posted a link in the other team thread check it out

Hey I'm interested in joining your team and I'm also interested in some assistance with the tx wheel I'm a very good drifter with the controller but not so much with the wheel lol thanks hope to here from you soon

We are not recruting at the moment, as I am on my own on the X1 at the moment. we may be looking to possibly recrute in the future, but only after I have had a chance to speak with the owners of the team.

As for learning to drift with the TX, the test drive mode via the tuning menu is your friend, just load up the fully opened airfield and grab a low powered RWD car. Plenty of wide open space there, and as such it gives you an oppertunity to learn how to control the cars weight and throttle, and to learn how to countersteer in a drift. My personal choice would be an E30 M3 or Ford Sierra, both have good balance, and are pretty easy to learn with.

does team apex only do rwd drifting? or do you guys take in people that do awd drifting also. I'm very interested in joining the team :)

We do occasionally mess around in AWD cars, but just for fun; we drift predominantly in RWD cars. Also, please view my last posting which is just above yours; at the moment we are not recruiting. I have yet to be able to talk to the owners of the team to discuss the possibilities of recruiting some new members, I am only a temp leader after all; and its only right I discuss potential recruitment with them first.

I totally understand! would it be okay if maybe we just got in some lobbies together?? not to try out, but just to drift with you?? If I really have to I can try to start drifting RWD, but I do my personal best In AWD. ( hitting 90k+ a lap on Bernese Alps )

I only do the occasional points drifting rival events, the majority of the time I drift with others, its for tandems and not points. But yes, we can get in a lobby together at some point.

Okay that would be great! I used to roll with "Tandem Kingz" and sometimes I still tandem with them for fun. I'll add you when I get on later today and maybe we could do some tandems!

my GT: Toxic Drifting

Hey everybody! It's been much too long since I took a look at the forums. Thought i'd see what everyone is up to. Thanks for taking reigns of the team on FM5 Liz, I really appreciate it. Don't feel like you can't recruit or make decisions, you have a full leadership role right now. I encourage you to take in some drifters and build up Apex on FM5. Someday i'll get an X1 and FM5 and get active again, but I just bought a 240 and currently all my money is going into that right now. It's an exciting project! Although I do plan on being more active on the forums from here on out.

As for the whole points drifters thing, i'll make my points very clear: We were established as a team in late Forza 2, before points had been introduced to Forza, so I don't think it's possible that you guys created your team before us. Not that it matters to me, I just wanted to clear that up. Also, I don't see any problem with us sharing a name. You guys are very well-known on the leaderboards, and we are just as well known in the forums and the community. If you guys still have a problem with us having the same team name, then by all means feel free to change your name. We, however, will not be changing and we don't have a problem with sharing the name [Y]

Anyway, here's a picture of the 240 I just bought. It's an extremely clean chassis. I have yet to find any rust on it! Stock KA24DE DOHC. I just put in a short ram intake, aftermarket header pipe and exhaust. Wheels are on the way (xxr527's).

And the wheels

Holy stranger from a motox lol. How you doing walker? Its been so long since you showed up around here, and I am so envious that you picked up a 240; me want!!!!

Haha I know I've just been extremely busy traveling and racing and life has just been crazy recently! But it's starting to warm up at home so I'm done traveling down south to ride. I have to say, it's nice being home and having my mom do my laundry and cook my meals again! XD But as I said, I'll be home a lot more now so posting on the forums should be a regular thing for me now. Sorry for the wait! And yeah, I love the 240 so far. I can't wait to get the wheels on it and lower it! Also, I just noticed a posted a picture of Wedsports instead of the xxr's i'm getting, but they are asthetically identical. How has everything been over here Liz?
