Forza Motorsport 5

[dern]

Just got this after spending hundreds of hours in forza 4 and absolutely love it. Best racing game I've played.

[ajprice]

No date announced, but Forza 5 is getting the Spark-Renault SRT-01E Formula E electric racing car. http://www.engadget.com/2014/08/12/forza-5-renault...

The formula e car is truly epic. I think it would make a blinding one make series.

But I keep finding myself doing countless laps in the lotus type 49. Ohhh the noise!!!

[carmadgaz]

Had a crack in the Renault and 'purchased' a few of the other cars (Including the Rolls in Saints Row colours )

I was surprise how low the Renaults PI is compared to the other racers tbh. Can drift it surprising nicely though .

On the Rolls Royce in Forzavista you can raise and lower the Spirit of Ecstacy

[kowalski655]

But it doesn't lower if you hit someone...i suppose it only does that for pedestrians

Mine is gold..shared file title is "xxxx u peasants"

I'm still waiting for the clio Williams to come out.

A fully upgraded Rolls is still near enough silent! Fun to drive though.

[TheVole]

New game that a friend and I came up with involving the new pack.

Rolls vs the Infiniti Eau Rouge around the 'Ring. The Rolls gets a 30 second head start.

Usually ends up pretty close, depending on drivers! The Infiniti is a pig to drive standard, the Rolls is easy when you know how.

just got this game and most of the rival challenges are DLC, was looking forward to the "i can do that in a van" and even thats DLC
Other than that its really good though

[Mr E]

So very very wrong.

Can someone give me some ideas on good beginners cars please?
I bought a 458 yesterday and at standard it was near impossible to drive are they any good? I tuned it in A class it was better but not good. What sort of settings do you have on toe camber and caster and does it make much of a difference?

Start from the bottom and work up. Get used to a track or two then just practice, practice and practice!

I use Road Atlanta as my proving ground for new vehicles. Treat it almost like driving a track day in a borrowed car to start with and try and gradually improve those lap times. The Subaru BRZ is a good car to start off with.

Setup makes a lot of difference but you're best finding your feet in the standard car first. When you do decide to move on press Y on the tuning screen to test setups as you can alter the setup from the pause menu which is very helpful. I'd suggest getting a BRZ get used to it then stick race suspension and a diff on it and just mess around with it for a bit. Don't get into engine tuning until you're happy with how to alter the balance of the car by using diff and suspension settings.

Download Forza tune 4.This gives you a good base set up

[Twistygit]

Is there any other cars that people can suggest? I've seen an élan top of the leader boards and a KTM Xbow

[kowalski655]

For D class the '65 Mini Cooper pretty much rules. With a good tune it is great in multi player, even on speed tracks, and tops most leaderboards
