Forza Motorsport 5
Discussion
Morning Everyone!
Since this game is going to be announced in 20 days time, I thought it was time for a thread.
In case you don't know, it's almost pretty much confirmed that this will be a launch title for the new XBOX when it is launched later this year. It will be interesting to see what turn10 can do with the extra power as they've already made astonishing looking games on 7 year old hardware.
What is everyone looking forward to in this game?

So you won't be getting Forza 5 then?
Have got all previous iterations and was fully planning on getting an xb1 for this but the reduction in content along with all the 'juicy' content ('ring, F70 etc etc) being paid DLC has really turned me off it.The fact that my road car has been dropped from it is the staw that's broken this camel's back. It's a shame as it will look spectacular for sure.
For everyones information

As such, it's debuting a handful of new offers, such as:
- 50 per cent off every car in the game between Friday 30th November at 8:01 a.m. GMT to Monday, 2nd December at 7:59 a.m. This includes purchasing them with credits or tokens.
- Forza Motorsport 5 VIP members receive a free 2013 Lotus E21 grand prix car.
- VIP members who already purchased the 2013 Lotus E21 will receive the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO instead.
- Those who have purchased the LaFerrari Car Pack or the Forza Motorsport 5 Car Pass will get the 2013 LaFerrari gifted directly into their garage.
- Credit payouts for Forza Rewards - a loyalty program that rewards players for sticking with the series - will increase "dramatically" come December. Turn 10 noted, "The higher your Tier level reaches before December rolls around, the better the rewards you'll be able to redeem, so get your play time in now and level up!"
- Furthermore, those who purchased the Forza Motorsport 5 Limited Edition will be given the chance to download any car of their choice at no extra charge as the developer erroneously claimed that the 1250 tokens given to Limited Edition owners would be enough to buy any car. It wasn't, so now they'll get their pick of the litter in addition to the extra tokens. Unfortunately, this offer isn't ready just yet and will be claimed through a dedicated site that will launch no later than 16th December.

How much money are you guys getting from drivatars?
I was in around 30 races a day...now its dropped to 2 or 3 a day...
Has anyone done an testing or mucking about on how the drivatars get boosted? I'm sure in the harder settings their acceleration and braking is boosted? If you clear the 1st or 2nd place and pull say several seconds, they will suddenly reaapear on straights and in braking zones.
I think it very much helps if other forza players have you on their friends list. Because all of my 'friends' are always the preferred driveatars so they make more. I was in around 30 races a day...now its dropped to 2 or 3 a day...

If you have the option ticked, I believe they apply the popular skins to the opposing cars. It can't be what the the originator of the drivatar uses because a few of my friends list fill each race despite each of them only completing a tiny bit of career.
Anyone got the Lotus F1 car yet? The half price sale was still going on last night when I got my reward though so did the first 3 rounds of that - absolutely fking mental. Never experienced anything like what the helmet cam serves up in a game - Pouhon at Spa is insane.
If that real person has a car in that class, it will use their car in that class with their paint job. But most of the time it will just pick popular ones because most people don't have friends with cars in that series.Anyone got the Lotus F1 car yet?

Are there any endurance races? They seem to end just as you are getting a nice rhythm going..

One more that I found (but wish I hadn't!) - if anyone can find a way to deep link to the forza on-line tables then let me know - would save some formatting!
Class C time attack - Berneese Alps - Festival track
Edit - the order looks random as it's split clean laps then dirty laps. There is no indicator on the online forums to add to the table...
What, are you saying I did a clean lap? Noway. What a terrible time though, I want to try again. (MielieMooMan)Class C time attack - Berneese Alps - Festival track
