I don't know, there is a spot for track DLC on the in-game marketplace section.

Brainwrong posted:Here's a buyers tip: If you want a car that's VERY fast in a straight line but handles like a paedophile coated in Vaseline round corners, then why not waste 1,000,000 credits on a TVR Speed 12 I read that while hearing Clarkson's voice in my head. That sounds just like something he would say. And since this game just throws credits at you, I think I will go get one right now.

I said come in! posted:How many of those 30 cars are cars that you really want? That's what my garage is, it's entirely cars that I actually want to own. My philosophy exactly. My personal tiebreaker is sound. The car I would want to listen to when driving gets my choice, I will worry about making it competitive later on. Or comedy cars, complete junk that nobody should ever buy IRL. I made a very quick PT Cruiser for online use in Forza 2, just to anger pubbies and then blow their doors off.

Jabs posted:It was a decent turnout for a first event, and I think everyone had a good time, aside from some grumbling about the Cockpit View. Yeah, my engine-destroying off was due to my own stupidity (and beer). Then I got lapped by everyone else (twice!), especially when I spent 3/4 of a lap limping into the pits with a broken engine. And I didn't grumble, I was sniveling about the view. (My own limitation, can't use that view well) Had a blast, and will be back next week. Who knew losing so badly could be so much fun?

Logue posted:For anyone still thinking of a car to use for Goon Le Mans, I recommend at least checking out the Mercedes Gullwing 300SL. I actually got it around the old track faster than my Daytona, running a 3:49, but its a little less stable so I'm sticking with the Daytona. If anyone wants my gullwing setup, let me know. This race sounds like a blast, I love the cars from that era, but my work schedule won't let me make it on time. Saturday is our busiest day (more moneys for me), but I wouldn't mind a go at that tune just in case I am actually home. GT: Crow T Macbot (aka: that drunk guy who crashes a lot)

A couple of guys missed by an inch or less, but Freelance couldn't see through all the dust and center punched me head on. I made one pit stop for repairs, then another for my black flag on lap 2. Meanwhile, Bentron ruined his aero while pushing Freelance (broken engine) into the pits. Jabs posted:
Our 3 slowest racers are at the top of the points, and our most inconsistent (me) is #1? Only because our fast guys (Logue, Minimal, Pope) haven't been there for every race, but I do try to keep them in sight when they lap me, to learn where I'm going wrong.

Jabs posted:Yeah, I'm at work, so I can't check them in game. The actual formula is in the first few pages of the rulebook I linked . It is wheel HP based over several verified runs on a dyno. And there is also a factor for forced induction (displacement * 1.4) and engine displacement (<1.9L gets boosted, >2.5L gets nerfed). Most of the (quick) calculations I've seen give a 15% loss for manual tranmissions with 2wd, and 20-25% for AWD. The Rule Book posted:6.12.2. A wheel horsepower number must be declared on the Series Registration Form to the series before any vehicle competes in the series. See Appendix A for the certificate and requirements. Vehicles may be impounded by the series for further dyno measurements at any time during the season. Any vehicle found to be over their maximum stated horsepower will be considered illegal. Data acquisition will be used during on track sessions to monitor vehicle performance. If the HP number is changed, a new form must be submitted with a new HP number declared. Data acquisition will be used to calculate wheel HP and vehicles will be found illegal if the calculated wheel HP exceed their Series Registration declared HP number. Which puts the Mini at not 11.3, but 11.5 lbs/hp. And I'm not taking the time to check the rest of the list, since I already declared for the Mini.

Alfa Romeo Montreal, GLHS, '96 Impala SS, Fiat Coupe, the Lambo, and the Pagani are all great choices. Turn 10 is doing an amazing job with the DLC this time around, especially compared to F3's DLC. But a '73 Pinto? Fantastic! I used to have a '74 in high school. $200 cars are the best, and I now have a car for Jabs GoonMons races. I shall paint mine turd brown, with the rust patches, the spray-painted hood scoop and "accents" a friend put on mine. I just hope I still have some old photos to work from.

No hurry, a lot of us only stop playing one Forza because a new one is out. And it almost went to plan, except I couldn't gift his car back due to locked vinyls. At least a replacement Eclipse is easily affordable now.

Exotics being wasted in stop and go traffic are pretty routine there. I once saw someone using a 458 to pick up a couple of gallons of paint at Sherwin Williams. When I lived in California, and spent way too much time riding mountain roads on my old FZR, I almost never saw the expensive cars up there. Miatas, MR2s, even the occasional classic sports car. Never the shiny new stuff.

Pinky the Cube posted:I bought a $99 Groupon to drive a Gallardo for an hour. It's this game's fault that I had to do this. Half of me feels ripped off, the other half can't goddamn wait. A bit of both halves worries that I won't fit in the car (6'3). You will fit just fine. I'm 6'2", and fit into a Countach and a Murcielago, so you should have no worries about a Gallardo, at least you will have normal doors  Don't expect limo-style room, it is an Italian supercar, but you will fit. Enjoy the experience, and we will want a report. The noise is the best thing about a Lambo, and I say that without belittling the rest of the car.

jonathan posted:The 93 Cobra R WAS barely more powerful than the stock 5.0's. They have a tendency to use the highest edition of the car for that year, 93 being a Cobra R, 95 cobra R is also a welcome edition. I'm sure you say many important things when you post, but I keep looking at your avatar. It's quite distracting. It gives me a fizzing sensation right behind...sorry, distracted again. Fortuitous Bumble posted:Do any of these games actually figure out the proper eye level x-y-z position and so on? In Forza 4 it's pretty obvious they just sat all the cockpit cameras at whatever was required to bring the speedometer and steering wheel logo and top of the ceiling into view at the same time (which is sort of extreme) To me, the cockpit view feels like I imagine how my best friend would see the road while trying to drive a car in my driving position. Problem is, he is 10" shorter than I am. He would see nothing but gauges and steering wheel.

I would have been there tonight, but late parts delivery, combined with an impatient customer, meant I had to put the top half of an engine back together prematurely. Now, think about it. Would you really want the guy putting your engine back together to rush, or take his time and double check everything before you got your car back? Oh well, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Boaz MacPhereson posted:That thing's a big fat pig. Brake way early. WAY early. Then gradually power through. It'll help you find your cornering speeds. Once you get that figured out, you can start pushing back your braking points. I ran a 1:4something.something. It'll take a few laps, but you can definitely beat his time. Lap 1, for me, was learning it had no brakes at all, and lap 2 was dirty because of a screwup braking for the final corner. I stopped after 3 laps when I got a 1:50.xxx and was happy because I now never have to drive that crapbox again. I would bet his real car drives even worse than the in-game version, and that Turn 10 "helped" it a bit in the handling and braking departments. That thing reminds me of so many modded cars. All engine with stock (or worse) everything else.

But since they are out of production now, it seems you have two choices. A new (used) MS wheel, or a new Fanatec. I'm going for the second option, once my tax return hits. That $360 offer is too good to pass up. If the Fanatec isn't in the cards right now, find a game store that sells used stuff, but also has a good return policy. That's how I got my current MS wheel, which has actually lasted longer than the other two.
