^^^^ Agreed, stunning car

I've been waiting a long time for the Lexus LFA and it's lived up to expectations

The car values are still all over the shot though. LFA is valued at 500k, should be more like 1 million.. and then you have E92 M3 GTS' trading for over 2 million+ - the devs should put more effort into bringing it more in-line with real-world values

I got the SD1 last night. Can't decide if I prefer red or black:







Upped the standard wheels to 18 and tuned the original 3.5 V8.

LFA's will eventually be 10-20M market value. GTS is another which had a limited release.

I’ve recently got back into it,although I’m struggling to make big money. Any tips?

I’ve been doing the seasons to get some of the rarer cars but need to build up my ranks in order to sell at higher prices

Depends how far in you are.. If you buy the businesses and bash out the chapters, they earn a daily income that usually pays for itself really quickly.

Also you're in an ideal position, if you haven't got too far already, of being able to sell any duplicate cars you win via Wheelspins..

This was a later update so I still have a garage full of multiple copies of some crap I never drive from before they added this feature, because I can't be bothered to clear them out laugh But if you're not too far in yet you can just flip any duplicate cars you don't need and keep your garage lean.

Avoid upgrading cars just to win specific races / championships if you don't need to. I think it's better value to just use a stock car you already have and lower the difficulty slightly if you're struggling, than spending more money on upgrades than you'll actually win from the race.

Also don't forget to build up the Car Mastery for specific cars as they can offer decent rewards. Forza Edition cars are useful for earning skills quicker, Skill Songs on the radio are worth jumping on for a few minutes, you can easily earn 20-30 Skill Points from one by just blasting around some fields:



A lot of it just luck, you typically earn way more from Wheelspins, Super Wheelspins, and car sales than you do from race credits, so try to diversify what you spend your time doing - that way you'll level up in all the different areas and consistently earn spins.

Thanks for the reply a good few helpful tips in there!

I tend to stay away from the auction house but I’ve strangely got about 180 cars and maybe 3 or 4 are duplicates I’ll need to give it a proper go.

I’ve also got 2 of the businesses but I’ve completed both to a pretty high level and only earning 15k a day from them

is the Ferrari 812 worth it's rarity?

I still haven't got it, and wondering is it really that much better than a tweaked 800bhp F12?

Seems silly you can buy a classic 250 TR/FXX/F12TdF straight away if inclined, but you can't a modern production Ferrari lol

Ive got 2 and i would say yes and no. Yes theyre great but they dont really do anything better than a similar rated car. Very quick when tuned but a 599X is better


For lots of money quickly i absolutely recommend eliminator. You can level up quickly and easily resulting in loads of wheelspins. I think i went from 270m to 380m very quickly compared to grinding races and the wheelspins give you lot of cars.

No it's not IMO. Like you said, tuned F12 TdF, 599 GTO / X / K etc just as good if not better in those classes.

But, rarity brings value.. I looked for ages in the auction house for the 812 to no luck, finally unlocked it via the normal route after realising I hadn't completed all of the businesses lol..

I mean I sold a 2018 Civic for 16 million the other day, so some things just make zero sense.

I've found doing ranked adventure a very easy way of making progress towards the season and series rewards, only 3 races at most and if you do that and rivals it's an instant 24%. Best thing is that your finishing position is completely irrelevant, so if you can't be bothered to deal with the idiots and rammers that populate online just wait a few seconds at the start line, then just go on a nice Sunday drive.

I cant remember! I got one for completing the Starcard and the other might have been a season reward but i got this one first back when it was first released into the game.

I had two as well, there were definitely two opportunities to get one - sold one for many many credits though

Quite late to the FH4 part - only purchased it in December. How do you rack up Forzathon points? I want to get that Bugatti Divo but I'm about 150 points short. I don't have Xbox Live either.

Only way you can do it is the daily and weekly challenges - the Forzathon live events are the way to get more points, but you need Live for that

Ah right. I did see that Live is on offer for £3 for a month - might do that if it is still available.

If it helps, it's not that great (I understand wanting every car though)

Thanks. Maybe it'll come back in the future as a seasonal reward (like the Pista + LFA) - I believe this is the second time it's become available.

Part time racer on this game. I'm finding a lot the car sounds quite whiny which can be a little annoying after a while, not sure how realistic they are in all honesty. Each to their own obviously but whats the best sounding car/s in the game?
