You only get the TT as gift once the challenge is conplete.

If you get below 1.40.000 you also get a scaglietti

And if you beat dan you get a lykan hypersport.
Thanks. Car turned up in the message/garage.

Anyone noticed people buying cars for full list price in the auction?

For example the Fast & Furious cars when they're a VIP member, so they have these cars anyway. Wondering if there's some glitch to do with selling/buying.

Got a fair chunk into this since I bought it in the Black Friday sales. Im playing on pc.

It’s a very visual game, looks stunning when the weather comes into play.

Really struggling with the handling though, some cars feel amazing. Some feel utter crap.

Tuned myself a 911 2.7 RS and it is the best car I have driven so far, but trying to drive that trophy truck?! Jesus wept...

I've been away from the Forza game since Forza 4, is there still much of a group on here getting together for some races or games (the limos look like they could be fun).Maybe some hotlap challenges?
Has a Pistonheads Club been created in the game?
My gamertag is TheJackal GN (space between the jackal and GN), feel free to add me.

Yeah the trophy truck is shocking... also, i don't know what it is about the circuit of the america's but literally EVERY car i drive on it feels awful, feels like i have little grip and have to brake stupidly early for every corner, for example with the R8 LMS being one of the cars that suits by driving style the most, i feel as if im trying to drive a normal road going R8 at racing speeds... missing apex's and running wide almost every turn, its horrendous.

Any other track and i'm either right at the front or at the very least top 5.. Very odd!

I'm very glad I got this game. I think it's probably the best one yet, haven't tried online yet. The A45 AMG is a blast!



The progression system is great, feel like you actually have to work. However, I've only done a few races and am past Tier 2..

Don't pay any attention to the tier... it's only based on car collection anyway.. not progression.

So the latest update just majorly fked me over! I had gotten about two hours into an endurance race before pausing the game and switching the xbox off as I had errands to do. Came back later to finish the race, tried to resume Forza and...it needs an update and therefore will reset the game. bks. Granted it's kind of my fault but still irritating. The game really needs a mid-race save function of some sort.

Even without the update, you can't switch your xbox off and resume midway through a race can you??
I've never heard of that in any race game, you just leave it on pause surely?

If you set it to Instant On it should go right back to where you were in any single player game

Yes, it doesn't always work though so I don't trust it.

I'd say the graphics are marginally better than 6 on the Xbox One. I have 5meg internet and it took about 12 hours in total to download the first update.

My only complaints are of the online & the graphics.

The online is so poorly done, not going in to is as I think everyone will be aware.

The graphics I'm meaning more the colours & brightness. So many daylight races just look so dull and bland, white cars can look grey and just makes it a little bit less enjoyable.

Drives great though on a controller, I mainly do drifting and it's better than the previous game. Just ste on a wheel IMO.

The graphics are improved but you won't notice until a rain race where they look fantastic. Also dynamic weather takes quite a lot of CPU to manage which is new for Forza.

I'm liking the new leagues, the hot hatch icons is some of the best racing I've had on this so far. Had a race where I very luckily came first and the following 6 all finished within a second and a half behind, it was bumper to bumper (or even ghosting through a car) for the whole race. Never really liked ghost racing, but this is brilliant so far.

Also do we have a picture thread up yet? I couldn't seem to find one

After some serious tweaking of the controller dead zones etc i know have the game feeling nearly as good as forza 4 did. Have to say im enjoying the game a lot more now!

Just began the Modern Sports Coupe series, my tuned TTS is decimating the field, might pop the tune up online if anyone wants it.
