Just got my 4th manufacturer to Affinity 50 (Porsche, Lotus, BMW, and now Ferrari) and I decided to check how many miles I've driven in game. You can check it from My Profile -> My Stats -> Records.

Why do you insist on sport tires?

Because I'm not running an A-Class hopper.

e: To be more constructive, I've been running the AUGR races for quite a while now and whenever I have asked for input as far as coming up with specs for races, people have generally said things ranging from "I don't have any suggestions" to "what we've done in the past has been fun". In combination with that, I've been kind of burned out with running the races and also kind of been bummed out at only having 6-8 people showing up. If you don't like the specs or don't want to participate I'm not going to hold it against you or be mad or anything, I know you have a lot of people you race with and that's fine. Just thought I'd state where I'm coming from.

You don't really need race tires for B class. It's going to hurt more than help as you'll have some handling but lose so many points that could have been in power that you'll be slow.

Okay, so I know I'm not exactly a regular in this thread, but I dusted the cobwebs off my F4 copy and have been playing recently. How the hell can I get my hands on a 360 Challenge Stradale and/or a 430 Scuderia? I want to pull my hair out.

Those two are Unicorn Cars. There are 17 of them in the game. The only way to get them is to have them gifted by Turn-10 employees. Now that the game is getting older, there are less chances to get them, but there is a guy who is keeping an up to date list of chances to get them on the FM.Net forums, click here.

At least one of those Ferraris transferred over if you imported your Forza 3 profile and had them in your FM3 garage.

For today only, there is a new Rivals event in the Monthly Rivals section called something like Rivals Live #8. Anyone who sets a time gets a unicorn car of their choice simply by voting in the poll HERE.

Again, set a time today (4/26) and then go vote in the poll, and you'll get gifted the car you vote for. Must have Live Gold account.

Yay! I can finally get the 2005 Honda NSX GT-R that I've wanted for 18 months... for a racing game I haven't turned on in over a month.

Hooray, got me a Mine's R34 on the way :toot:. Now the only unicorn I need is the Shelby, and I will not feel sad if I never receive that piece of junk.

This is weird... the poll says I've already voted and it's for the '2004 Top Secret Silvia D1-Spec S15.'
Or is this all interconnected and I need to set a time first before I can vote properly?

Let's talk Football.
Hmmm. I played Forza 2. Got busy and never got 3 or 4. But now I kind of want to jump in to 4 after I murdered Horizon. Having read this thread it seems 4 has a pretty solid ongoing community but its rather entrenched at this point. Would it be worth my time picking up 4 or should I just wait and see if 5 is right around the corner...perhaps some news at E3?

DEEP STATE PLOT

5 will almost certainly be on the next Xbox, so I'd base your decision on whether or not you plan on getting that. If you aren't going to, you might as well pick up 4, it's really good and there are still some of us who play every Tuesday and Wednesday.

Don't worry if you aren't any good, lord knows most of us aren't either.
