24 cars in multiplayer hoppers is going to be nothing short of catastrophic, and it'll be hilarious to watch.

24 cars in the rain going into turn 1 on week 1 of release day... no room to drive through the wreck until everyone ghosts.

I noticed the lack of sticky grass as well, i certainly didnt like it, but does this mean everyone online will just cut corners? Certain tracks were like that already. (I'm looking at you, Yas marina's turn that goes under the big white hotel)

Yeah it was nice effect and I think hydro planing is going to make races that much more interesting.

I'll be on around 5 eastern tomorrow as well for a couple hours before the game, so I'll be down for some racing.

It will make 24 car multiplayer starts absolutely amazing. Especially on Sebring like the first straight has a giant puddle on the right side so everyone is going to try to crunch into the left lane... and it will end very predictably :D

It's so much better than 5! You can take a car over the limit of control but actually rescue yourself from completely losing control like seems to happen too often in Forza 5.

I've never raced with you guys (maybe back in Forza 4 I don't remember) and I can't find my microphone cable for my headset. But I would be down for some dice racing tonight. Gamertag - WisePrey

Also I got one of the rare dare packs and the Setback card, starting in 22nd position is pretty fun, the starts with drivatars are somehow worse than multiplayer.

I think this is similar to how they removed browsing by manufacuter in Forza 5 to conceal the limited car selection. If they have too many hopper options, they're less likely to fill up their shiny new 24 car rooms :rolleyes:

I think this might change a little bit on Tuesday when the game is fully released and there's more people playing than the few that paid $100 for the ultimate edition.

Also I can't wait for the people that have never played a Forza game to join the multiplayer hoppers on Tuesday and end up driving Nurburgring or La Mans at night...

I took them because I enjoyed racing and the company of the community. I present it in this format just so you may realize that I saved the replays, scoured them for good moments, and then gave every person a moment in the sun. I did it to be kind and to give my fellow racers recognition.

I invite you to mock me for it, that's fair game.

I wish they had forgone Daytona for Sunset Peninsula. I know, history and prestige and whatever, but man that Daytona road course is poo poo. And I can only imagine how awful turn 1 is online, jeez.

Sunset Peninsula was fun but I do actually enjoy the Daytona courses. The whole first lap is a little chaotic in the hoppers with how narrow the road course section is, but it's pretty fun to drive.

Although if I can figure out how to upload a video, I have a great replay of me going down the back straight away in a race... spinning in circles half way down the straight as people keep hitting me lol.

It handles reasonably when it's on all 4 wheels, sadly it likes to go on two wheels often and then it's near impossible to control :D

Err, can you only use the rewind a certain number of times in a race? Halfway through an enduro and it stopped working.

It stopped working for me around the start/finish line on lap 3 I think on the Nurdburg 125, but then it started working again, however it no longer "rewinds" it just goes to loading screen and comes back with you a little farther back.

Also, I didn't turn on realistic tire and fuel for the race yet the AI still pits as if it's on...

Unless they fixed it tonight, I ran the 65 mini in the d league this afternoon. Its a horribly OP car and likely the reason they removed d class from the hoppers.

The lap count for the s class lobbies is all over the place! You'll fet 3 laps on a Daytona course then get 6 laps in a short batch hat track. Then get 2 LAPS around nurburgring or 3 laps on spa.

Well, seems people haven't figured out how to drive straight yet in Forza 6. Here's 2 fun pics from the start line off of Bernese Alps...



I thought I was managing to squeeze through the nonsense and was going to be free and clear until the first turn... but...



Rear ended by someone and there I go up on my front bumper... At least my car was still facing in the right direction I guess...
