Transit van is surprisingly good! Managed a 12 min lap on the 'ring, it was a dirty lap, and not properly going for it, but it does handle pretty well, and the Hennessey Venom is just savage!

It does have a feeling of hyperspace about it - the edge of the screen going dark on the start/finish straight at Le Mans was a surprise...

Having tried the Venom all I can say is good luck to The Stig if they ever try a hot lap in it on Top Gear. 265mph down the Mulsanne smokin

Quite possibly the most fun single make racing since Jelly Belly, my C425 tune is free and ready for action.

crazy car.
Just took it online for some giggles and overtook 5 R1 cars biggrin
Bit of a monster around the corners though!

First thing i thought when i took it around LeMans was "how do you fancy some death" owning one of those.

So many paint jobs to choose from for the Transit!

Do some people get the packs before others?
Seems some people always get a head start and get the credits before anyone else has a chance.
I'm not a painter myself but seems slightly unfair.

quite tunable but its a snappy little bd (I haven't done any set up work), as you might expect. I've arrived at a few corners completely backwards a few times now in my B500 one.

Tunes to about 220hp which gets it to 60 in around four seconds! it wins B spec races pretty easily, but as said very twitchy, smoothly does it.

Yep, I was driving the standard car around F class to get the 100% parts discount, it does tend to go one way in the corners then completely switch on you when you try to save it hehe . I haven't properly driven my tuned one yet, but I got the standard car around a Top Gear lap in 1:49 from a standing start, it's not on my F class leaderboard because I went faster in the Kia C apostrophe D.

None, just a turbo.

Oh...


That's what forza needs though, the capacity to stick a V8 in a smart car.

The Scandinavian flick works extremely well in the Smart - I got all the way round Bernese Alps without using the brakes. biggrin

Not sure where you'd sit. lol, but I guess that didn't stop them in other daft swaps.
