Wheels, there's no ladder to climb, no position to attain. WTH are you talking about? You've done nothing but grouse over Forza for at least 2 years, longer if I was a betting man, everyone knows where you're at, and it's wearing a little thin. The only thing I can ascertain at this point is you have more fun bashing than participating.

I'm not an ass kisser, find anyone that can call me that with a straight face...that said, I don't go out of my way to bash someone else's purchase choices or hobby's. If it's not for me I simply go do what is. And I certainly don't hide it behind a bunch of smiley faces. Now I've gone about as far as I want to on this and still stay calm. I'm done. If you don't like any game, rest assured, I don't want to discuss it much further.

From reading over at FM.net all VIP's got a second E21 and LaFerrari for some reason.   I'm just hoping the patch comes out soon as I have been holding off playing Forza.   BTW the link for redeeming a car for the LE owners is up too.  Can pick one car from the list.

Hrm....

Not that I care since you can't sell or gift, but I didn't receive a second E21 or LaFerrari.

Did pickup the Mazda #55 787B thouogh. :) Can't wait to give that a try.

Looking forward to trying my hand at drag again. I liked it in FM4.

Anyway......................

Rivals drag can be some fun, and it's quite quick! Fun  to do a lotta builds, so that might get expensive.

Yeah. Rivals was great to rack up credits before. Not sure how it will work this time in FM5. Perhaps much better after the new patch comes live. I know they are adjusting the car price, I wonder if any adjustment to parts will occur (highly doubtful) but as long as the credits come a bit easier and in larger lumps, then it will be OK I think.

I have a tad over 5 mil credits that I am sitting on waiting for the patch to see what all the adjustments will bring. I did stock up on some decent cars during the fire sale but they won't do crap for drag so there will be a ton of cars I need for that. But I am sure it will be a bit of fun to play with.

Anyway, I hope it comes soon.

I have hardly done any multiplayer so far after trying it the first few nights.  So I have made it my goal to learn to tune.  So instead of just randomly grabbing a car and tunning without purpose I have picked the C class time trail at Bernese Alps.  Been working with the Miata so far and just want to see how much of an improvment I can accomplish.

I redeemed my reward this morning and got the 1976 McLaren F1 car.  How could I not love that car after seeing James Hunt drive it to victory in Rush?

Once the prices drop, I will have enough credits to buy an IndyCar.  

I got the second E21 F1 and LaFerrari cars.  I wish we could sell them back to the game since I have no need for two of them.

The Mazda 787 is one of my favorite cars in sim racing.  It was an early purchase for me when they had the sale in early December.

I picked up the James Hunt McLaren as well. No just waiting for the price drops to see how much Nikki Lauda's car is going to cost.

It drives awesome, but it lacks the whine of the Lauda Ferrari.  I guess I should get that too, once I get an IndyCar.

Looking forward to the price drop. The Lauda is the last car I "have to" have. The McLaren is cool because it can be painted like some of the other cars from that season and it will look just about right. So far I've done the Tyrell Ford. Look it up and grab the paint!

Next will be tha Martini Brabham Alfa.

By the way, I thought that Hunt's McLaren was sponsored by Marlboro?  In the game, it has the same red and white coloring, but it is Texaco sponsored.  Why couldn't they have made it authentic?  I wonder if I can get an authentic paint ???

It was a Marlboro car.  I bet it has to do with some countries now have laws agains advertising tobacco and I bet they changed it for that reason.

Thanks man.  I know you would.

As you guys know, I am a sucker for visuals and so once I saw James Hunt run that F1 car in Rush, I knew I had to have it in Forza 5.

As usual Oldschool the F1 cars are like the R1 cars in Forza 4, mirrored everywhere and a bitch to paint. I am trying to do a Force India livery on the E21   129

It probably is down to tobacco advertising, it was stopped on race cars a long time ago so i imagine its the same for liveries in Forza 5, but of course we can put them on wink

Yeah, They really don't model those with us in mind. Problem is, there's usually one that's okay, but they're all so expensive, you never buy the easy one first...

Can't advertise tobacco. That practice was banned world wide several years ago. Sort of why NASCAR is no longer the "Winston Cup".

I turned on my Xbox One this morning and it had already downloaded most of the update on its own.  It downloaded a little bit more and then I was able to get in.  The most noticeable change was the car prices have been significantly reduced.  I was able to get an IndyCar for 1,300,000 credits, which is down from the price of 3,000,000 credits before the update.  I did a quick race at Indy and absolutely loved it.  Turn 10 has done an excellent job with the addition of open wheel cars.  I have not tried all of them, including the F1, classic F1, IndyCar and the KTM Xbow and they all drive and look wonderful.
