Has anyone spotted it yet? The requirements are just to enter the contest, and play Forza 4 once this weekend. You have a chance of winning 100,000 Microsoft points. Ugh, USA only of course.

The Forza website says that it should be under the Video tab on the dashboard, I haven't bothered to check for it yet so i dunno if it has to cycle through the current options or if it's in one of the corner panel thingys or what.

Man I'm so glad I'm almost done with the Ferrari collecting achievement. Just 3 of the F430GT racecars left now, and I know I can get at least one of them off the auction house for cheap. They should have included an unlockable homespace of a palace in Dubai for people whose collections exceed a value of 50 million credits or so, either that or Jay Leno's garage.

It says all the Ferraris on Disc 1, so I'm assuming it's just the ones in the dealership. They better not have been dickish enough to require both unicorns as well for it, though I doubt they would do that.

There's a list up in the 'Answers' section of Gamefaqs, but if I recall, the ones you don't need are the FXX, the F50GT, the F40 Competizione, the F6** Maranello, the F458 racecar, neither of the 355s, and of the F430 racecars you only need #83 and #89.

Well gently caress me with a rusty chainsaw, of course the two F430GTs I need are two I waited until last to buy! Oh well, at least I can say I got all but one of them (the 360 CS because I'm stupid and didn't realize I could have had an easy free one last month). Next goal, Ferrari affinity to level 50! Gotta get a return on my investments here!

If you're not in a hurry, I can send you at least one of the 430 racecars. I don't remember if I have both still, but I don't need them. Send a friend request to humpdumper and I'll try and gift them later tonight.

Just had to finally clear out all the abandoned project and one-use cars from my garage, that more than made up the difference to buy them both. Thanks for the offer though.

I love the track day rivals stuff. I wont last long, but I set the fastest AUGR time on the first 3 I think. I just like how the track days force you to focus the whole race, while the other single player modes are maybe 1 minute of trying to get through traffic, and then racing by yourself for the next 10 minutes.

Crossposting from GTCC: Sockington is leaving us for a few weeks, so the specington for his temporary farewell race is as follows: Sockington posted:After some initial testing, the drag tires provide plenty of grip so the spec has been changed a bit to get some grease under those tires Track is TBD, but looks like Maple Valley Short Reverse is a possiblilty, as is Road Atlanta Full.

God I love drag tires. The handling gets just loose enough to make every corner amazing without turning into a doriftu powerslide clusterfuck, and they actually wear down fast enough that you might end up pitting for a different reason than "getting rear-ended by some idiot" (I'm the idiot) - I was up to 15% tire wear after only 5 or 6 laps on Maple Valley. Some good cars in that spec, too. This should be fun. There's even a no-aero rule, so the inevitable turn one shenanigans won't gently caress anyone over quite so badly.

I built a RWD-swapped '94 Civic for the GTCC spec. It's pretty fantastic. Of course, the main sponsor is my "Rice Burner high-speed cookers" and most of the paint is covered with sponsorship vinyls. I think TopHat or one of the other mods might have probated me on the GTCC forum or something- I can't post or reply. One of the mods may have misunderstood my poor attempt at humor, like what happened to someone else on a different forum...

I think one of the admins broke the forums, possibly in response to the Bolivian spambot problems that have occurred in the past or by being bad at computers. I tried to avoid swapping anything, since that has ended in tears before (I had a RWD CRX that was just a disaster on Maple Valley back in the Forza 3 GTCC days), which resulted in a Wienermobile liveried Fiero. The first DLC car I've ever bought. actually.

I actually use drag tires on cars I would otherwise use sport compound on. They provide good grip on the tradeoff of mediocre responsiveness and high wear. They are most suited to. FR configuration cars.

I have created what I feel a fitting tribute to sockington. No, it's not a Bel-Air, I actually decided to go with something else (and will probably end up on my roof for it): Sockington...  ...your departure...  ...is truely...  ...a loss(.jpg)!  Anyways, it seems like my Ferrari GTO has actually been doing "well" compared to my other designs, so I'm going to shoot myself in the foot by posting it here:  It's a slightly tweeked version of the car I ran in GTCC last week. I've removed the GTCC labels (and the giant 'dilz' on the back) and replaced a few decals with either my own/unlocked decals. This is the original, what I ran with last week in GTCC:
