Andretti Autosport #25 Indycar, Justin Wilson's car . I wonder whether that will stay in the game?http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/turn10_postsm340...
I don't follow Indy much, but at the start of the season the driver in car 25 was Simona de Silvestro, so it may be her name on the car as that's probably when the car was put into the game data. If it stays in the game, it would be a good tribute. If it doesn't, there are going to be custom paint replicas made anyway.

What version of the game is everyone going for?
Ultimate. It was always going to be that, but I waited a while before buying the digital game to see if an ultimate disc version was going to be available. There was no sign of that happening, so I used up my Game credit and five English pounds on £85 of Xbox credit and pre ordered. So in man maths, its cost me £5 Gone gold, 10 new cars, demo on 1st September. http://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/fm6_gone_gol...
I've also ordered the Ultimate Edition. For anyone interested, you can save a little bit of money through buying voucher codes from CDKeys.com (I have no affiliation with them).
I bought £80 of Xbox vouchers (1x £50 and 2x £15) for £70.19 and then topped up the last £1.99 with my credit card through the xbox. You can also get a 5% discount code for liking them on facebook, but if you don't have facebook you can still get a 5% code by going here https://www.facebook.com/cdkeyscom/app_39334420741... and entering a fake email address.
Now I'm just hoping the demo on 1st Sep doesn't make me regret pre-ordering!

So far, I like. I haven't driven the wet race yet (been playing as its downloading), but Yas Marina at night was good, I think there are a few extra walls around the 90 degree corners that weren't there in FM5. There are a few more colours and textures in the paintshop, including something similar to TVR spectraflair paint in silver and black (press Y on the livery design options screen).
I havent played a Forza game since Forza 4 so it will be interesting to see how it has changed since then. I've only had a quick spin on the demo and I'm fairly positive so far. Graphics are nice and handling seems fun yet challenging with a pad.
In some areas (Rio) things have gone a bit 'Ridge Racer' with helicopters and confetti explosions but Lime rock seemed rather more grounded and sensible. I suppose Rio is the flagship 'Look at me' track so I can forgive that as it wont be my first choice track anyway. If they try the same thin with Le Mans then I'll be worried!
It's too early to tell how it will stack up against Project Cars but for me, I'm keen to have a 'pick up and play' type experience as my gaming time is very limited these days, so the full on Sim type of game maybe isnt for me. I will keep Project Cars going however as I feel that given a bit more polish and time to develop It can be something great.

The first race was stupid - with everything set to super easy and no apparent way of changing any settings - managed to get 3rd by just holding the accelerator down and bouncing off the walls for the 2nd half of the lap.
The 2nd race in the Subaru, I whacked everything up - aids off, sim mode, difficulty up...
Car went round like it was on rails. I didn't even notice that I was cranking the handbrake instead of downshifting for the first lap...
Lost interest at that point and cancelled the rest of the install. On that limited basis it felt more arcadey than 5.
I wasn't really that interested in 6, but it definitely reinforced that Forza isn't the racing game series for me. It seems not fun enough to be a good arcade racer, but not involving enough to be a "sim" console racer.
Thats strange as I had the subaru sideways and fish tailing with ease.The 2nd race in the Subaru, I whacked everything up - aids off, sim mode, difficulty up...

WOW impressed. Downloaded last night and played the 3 quail rounds and the invitational.
Graphics are bloody good. I managed to change the settings and drivatar settings to just perfect. manual gears. Only ABS braking .
After finishing it I bought the ultimate Edition.
handles like a dream, fun, great graphics and impressed.

The rain on Sebring is certainly interesting
No assists/ manual/ no rewind. Difficulty was on low though as i wanted to get a feel for the rain more than anything.
First try I hammer the throttle off the line and decide to overtake on the right (just by the pit wall) as me and the pack are approaching the first corner I hit multiple puddles which have accumulated next to the pit wall and spin off in a full 360 into a few cars andcome to a halt. I Then set off again to catch the pack, just after the 1st bend, on the left, little to my knowledge is another huge puddle. Queue car hitting puddle, spinning onto grass and eventually hitting the wall. Certainly brought me down a peg, again.
I think the rain is brilliant, Forza hasnt been this challenging in a while. Cant wait for the full game now. Nurburgring in rain, oh joy.
