Yeah, 5 has it, it is the first Forza game to feature it though. To be slightly more on-topic: Don Boon is a good name.

Uhhh so the Indy series for next season got weird: http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/3301671.page This is especially strange since the last we had heard from Tony was that nothing was going to change for this season. Now I have to decide if I can bring myself to run open oval or if I'm looking for another car to drive.

Fixed road is idiotic in this car (or any of the downforce cars), since they'll just pick one of the terrible undriveable baselines. Considering how many people of varying speeds share their setups on the forum each week, it seems really unnecessary anyway. I've used a forum setup every week, and it hasn't kept me from being competitive.

Karts is a "first step" for most South Americans and Europeans, but many Americans came up through midget racing, which people are legitimately clamoring for a more true-to-life series but modeling dirt is hard or something.

Watch out for unpretentious and delicious aquatic life. 2. Remember to change your fuel amount after qualifying. 3. Fruit Stripe gets cranky when you tailgate him.

peter gabriel posted:Can I join more than one team? What are teams? Are these both Goon teams? 1. Yes you can. 2. Teams are only used in Team Racing. In certain series/races you enter teams, not individuals & you can swap drivers at pitstops, in addition to changing certain settings from outside the car. 3. Yes, those are both goon teams. Turn One Hiros completed an almost-successful Daytona 24 Hours a few weeks ago.

You better have two sim PC rigs ready to go... For Sebring, Hiros will be driving the HPD and Gents will be driving the RUF. I believe each team can only enter one car in a race, so we can get around that by having multiple teams.

I think the weirdness of kart racing is not being able to feel how they respond. A lot of the challenge is hanging on in those turns and just how fast it feels on small tracks.

Yeah, there's an increased necessity for seat-feel in karts that's likely nearly impossible to reproduce.. even moreso on asphalt. Went to an indoor electric track at the Galleria Mall in Buffalo, NY after drinking a bunch of beers with some friends for my birthday a few months ago, and I have to say that it's a legit racing experience that's ridiculously fun.
