The open wheeled racers are bloody hard work. The AI almost intentionally cut lines to tangle with your wheels.

Great fun once you have a bit of space but an absolute nightmare until you do. I'm using the Brabham at the minute and it can be very frustrating in a crowd frown

"Leading the pack is an ultimate track toy – the 2013 Caparo T1, which is just begging to tackle the circuits of Forza Motorsport 6. In addition, we have four different eras of historic racing represented, with the 1939 Mercedes-Benz W154 (a pre-WWII Grand Prix champion), the 1967 Honda RA300 known as the “Hondola,” a turbocharged Nissan IMSA racer from the 1990s, and one of the latest Le Mans prototype cars.

The remaining cars of the pack offer equally unique driving experiences. The 1967 Volvo 123GT has its own on- and off-road race-bred roots and the 2013 Cadillac XTS Limousine – well, we know you’ll have fun with it."

Just a quick one, to anyone who has the answer.

In forza 4 you used to be able to reverse time in photo mode, now it seems you can't.

Either tell me its been like that since 5 or that i have no idea what i'm doing.

Glad they're investigating the Drivatar issue as it's really spoiling the game for me. Tried an experiment last night where I put the game down to its lowest difficulty, ran a decent if not perfect race but was still 16 seconds behind the leader.

So you did a slow first lap then tried to work your way up?
It's interesting though I suppose logical that it happens on every difficulty.
I had only noticed it on Pro and Unbeatable but suppose that is because these are the only levels where I'm not piling to the front on the 1st lap.

It is odd how it's not been picked up in testing. Their testers must all be driving lords who get to the front straight away on every difficulty.

Problem is there's no qualifying so I always have to fight through the pack, which can be tricky on the tighter circuits. By the time I've done this the first two always have a big lead and impossible to catch on a 2-3 lap race. I can win some races but it's always tight, whereas if I played Forza 1-4 on average difficulty I'd come first at an absolute canter. Oddly of the two drivatars that always win one is a friend who is really good at racing games but doesn't own 6, the other a random whose tag I don't recognise. It does seem as if the game is setting 2 cars at a higher difficulty than the rest of the pack.

I'm glad they're doing something about this. A Drivatar did a lap in one of my races that would have put it in the top 30 on the leaderboard, and it was only a 3 lap race! I didn't stand a chance!

Well the current patch hasn't solved anything. Just placed 2nd on a 5 lap race on Catalunya - 35 seconds behind the winner!

Is it still the strange and unique Forza interpretation of "racing" where finishing 2nd/3rd rather than 1st doesn't actually matter, as it's not recorded anywhere, doesn't count for anything and you get the same winnings?
You do only have to finish in the top 3 to progress, but a racing game where first is unobtainable does somewhat defeat the point. Just had a race where I was in 2nd about 5 seconds ahead of the next car with one lap to go, who suddenly got a rocket boost and passed me on the last straight like I wasn't even there. THis was on New Driver difficulty as well!

This Ai inconsistency is ruining the game for me now. I just had the torture of doing the ring in a 60's F1 car, managed to finish 2nd in what was the most annoying and frustrating race to date.

Next up, Monza, car in first finished the race (6 laps) before I got on to the last corner, second place was out of the corner, I was third and then fourth place, who had been overtaking me on the long straights nails me out of the corner (which I took well) and powers on to take 3rd. The Xbox was switched off immediately. I have absolutley no desire to ever do that again.

Patience wearing thin now....

In case anyone hasn't picked it up, there's a free Infiniti Q60 in the Options tab > Marketplace > Cars > Free Cars. It's not part of the DLC pack, its with the content update and free for everybody.
