Anybody bought the Alfa Romeo 33 stradale? Supposed to be the fastest car in the game. Hard to justify 1,400,000 for it though.
Yeah, as you don't really need money in this game it soon racks up so you can make back the 1.4m pretty easily.It's bloody fast when X999'd with 4wd and turbos but it becomes a straight line queen. There is a bucket list challenge using a standard one which is great fun however.

Just bought one and tuned it, cost me 115,000 to do up, certainly was a event driving up to Saint martins car meet lolIt's bloody fast when X999'd with 4wd and turbos but it becomes a straight line queen. There is a bucket list challenge using a standard one which is great fun however.
Really enjoying this game. Need to join a car club tonight till some friends get online.
Also I think my love of previous games paid off. I got a s
t load of credits from playing the older games and 3 cars and the missus who pre ordered it got the tescos RS4 code.
So im blatting round nicely already. I dont enjoy the all out cross country scramble races. Too many drivatars just smash you about and you cant see them coming in the vines.

Did the Lancia S4 bucket list challenge last night, awesome sense of achievement completing it after smashing into trees at 100mph for an hour 
. Going to concentrate on the road trip a bit more now as I've only done a couple of championships spent most of my time exploring.
That was one of the hardest things ive ever had to do on a racing game.. Going to concentrate on the road trip a bit more now as I've only done a couple of championships spent most of my time exploring.Brilliant sense of achievement after doing it.
You think you will be okay letting off the throttle, but you wont, it requires you to be full chat all the way through the foresty bits. I didnt figure that out until about 20 goes in haha.
Tried my hand at Rivals today. Great fun, until I realised that to get anywhere you basically just have to drive into walls. Diminishes the sense of racing somewhat... Nevertheless, I suggest you check out the Sisteron - High Speed Sprint (S2 class) leaderboard. 
Also, is there any way of doing the Final race again (short of starting all over again)? I really liked it.

Also the Mclaren F1 speed trap. Couldnt get the pace out the corner to beat it.
I was the same for a few times, always about 15mph short of the target speed. To get it done...Shortcut straight over that last corner roundabout part, there are youtube videos of it.
On a track car point. I opted for the Ariel Atom. That thing is wonderful in straight lines. Soon as you want to turn and if you get it even slightly wrong your done.
I was better on F4 and FH1. I think i need more practice.

Alternatively, turn left at the roundabout and get some run up...Shortcut straight over that last corner roundabout part, there are youtube videos of it.

The Atom was so woefully bad I had to get rid of it! Got the Ultima instead, which isn't great either but does the job. Don't try it on Unbeatable though, the Atom seems to gain ungodly traction and is nigh on impossible to beat. On a track car point. I opted for the Ariel Atom.

As per F4, I can't quite wrap my head around why they didn't include the controller options from it in this game. I rather liked being able to control the clutch myself. Surely it wouldn't have been that much extra work?

I bought an xbox one last week so that I could play this and Forza 5.
I agree with the comments about the cross country events, I seem to really struggle with them whilst being competitive in the other races.
Is anyone else having problems finding the barn find cars? I struggled with the second one and still can't find the third. I destroyed the Clio V6 in the trees driving around aimlessly to locate the barn find and I've still not got it yet.

I've got all 10 now but a couple of them were quite tricky to find. a lot of trial and error, and driving around in ever-decreasing circles....One thing that I found did help was to look for them at night. The lights in the buildings make them easier to spot, and with barn finds you can sometimes see the light shining out between the semi-opened doors signifying that it's a barn find site.

I bought an xbox one yesterday after years of Playstations. Really loving Forza but I've downloaded the free M5 and it isn't showing in my car list. I'm clearly missing something obvious. Any ideas?
As an aside, after playing every Gran Turismo game, the sound on Forza is fantastic
You still have to buy the car with in game credits. Its in the auto show.As an aside, after playing every Gran Turismo game, the sound on Forza is fantastic
