Usually head on at a closing speed of 150mph, sideways and missing by a few mm. wink

For those that don't know, a Porsche car pack was released yesterday. GT3RS, 993 GT2, GT4 and a couple of others.

Also, there is a Forzathon live to get the 997 GT3 4.0 until tomorrow, so not all of them are paid DLC.

The 918 is due as a Forzathon prize in a couple of weeks, as is the 959 and 1982 911 turbo.

Just a heads up for those who may have missed it.

For the 997 you can repeat the same bucket list challenge 5 times. I'm still stuck on 487/488 roads incidentally, absolutely certain it's glitched now.

Yep, did it that way lastnight to get the 997.

The boy wanted to put aftermarket wheels on the Nissan Titan, and then wanted them to be as big as possible.

The car weighed somewhere north of 6 tons after that. Methinks a developer may have a decimal point in the wrong place...

The 997 GT3 is bloody fantastic. Made 5 different tunes for it. Such an awesome car and awesome soundtrack too

Picked this up on the Live store for £32 and quite enjoyed the first few drives. I'm looking at the Porsche Pack but loads of reviews on the store say they're being asked to pay for it again. Have any of you had such problems after buying it?

Broke every bonus board and completed ~200 G worth of achievements without cheating/VIP/treasure map. It was a mammoth task but the sense of achievement at the end was worth it.

Some easy achievements for you guys to do that I did today:

Aussie Rules : (10G)

- set the championship theme to "Aussie Rules". Buy a HSV GTS. Fit AWD, race supercharger, race suspension upgrades, race transmission upgrades and race tyres to make it bang on S1 900. Bask in your LSA glory. Go to "Cooper Pedy Scramble", set up a championship, set it to 1 lap and "inexperienced" drivatars. Add a couple more super easy races and complete the championship. Job done.

Endurance Hero (20G)

- Go to Cooper Pedy again and set up an exhibition. 25 laps, pro drivatars, rolling time of day. Buy some st from the skill shop to add some meaty cash. Centenario should do the job. I got 150,000 credits. Took 20 minutes.


Throwing Your Weight Around (10G)

- Buy the Rolls Royce Dawn. Fit huge turbos, and supension upgrades. Increase rear tyre width all the way. Decrease tyre pressure to 27psi on the rear and 28psi on the front. Decrease front camber. Increase rear toe to around 1 degree and the front to around 0.4. Slam the springs and soften the already soft roll bars. Turn TCS and STM off.

Go to a really easy drift zone you haven't completed. I used the one that required 30,000 points by the shipwreck. Pull the handbrake when you feel the car's grip getting stronger.

Underdog (10G)

Use the Polaris buggy (ideally a stock Horizon Edition). Go to the Rainforest reveal danger sign. All you have to do is land it safely and get three stars.



Life's a Drag (10G)

- You should have raced most classes already. I needed C class and B Class. Go to the car meet at the airfield and wait for a showdown. I won (and pissed off a lot of people due to the countdown! laugh ) with the Acura RSX-S (that I converted in to a DC5 Teg) and got the achievement.


Fly Like a Regal (10G)

- You need the Reliant Supervan. Download a tune under the "300ft" keyword that has 5 stars. Get over 90 metres at the Airport danger sign. Job done.


This. Is. FORZA! (20G)

- I haven't actually done this yet! But you need to blueprint and complete a championship that has over 100 miles of racing over 10 events.


HTH smile

The 918 is not in a few weeks, it's tomorrow (18th).

And let me know if you can drive the 4.0 GT3 without buying the Porsche pack? I heard a rumour that all the forzathon Porsches could be won but not used unless you have purchased the Porsche pack. (Seems very strange to give the best cars away for free to those who didn't buy the actual car pack?)

Yes, you can use the GT3 without buying the pack, although the challenge has expired now so if you didn't win it then there's no other way of getting it

One of the cross country routes would be best for that

But you have just said it's not a DLC car and can be used without paying for DLC?
So auction house should work fine if it's just a normal usable car.

I was quoting Lance, saying he didn't think it would work as it doesn't with other DLC cars.
It's cool that it works but I must say it's a strange decision by playground games. Sell a Porsche car pack then give away 4 of the most sought after Porsche models to anyone who doesn't own the car pack free of charge. The 4.0 is easily one of the stand out cars in this update so very surprised they are not charging for it.

I assume it's to do with their recent partnership

https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/company/porsche-mi...

By being "more prominent" in future games I assume they mean in them from the start and not DLC. To be honest it's still the same cars that were DLC in FM6 and Horizon 2, so I won't bother getting them again
