No big deal, BUT I must have the BMW M4 Team Forza pre-order car. Because. But this car is only available from retail store pre-order. But I can't figure out which store. Looks like Gamestop gets the STi and Amazon has the Hellcat, but which one has the M4?
/ :spergin:

I think it's Best Buy. They list the M4 as a pre-order bonus on their .ca site but not .com yet. Regardless they only have the regular edition. I don't see why they wouldn't at least sell the deluxe edition at retail. It's a little strange.

Even with indicators, people drive into each other all the time not realizing that someone is beside them, especially cockpit users. The only thing I wish is that it had a San Francisco Rush-style radar instead to remove any question of exactly where the other guy is in relation to you.

Oh man I played San Francisco Rush a tonne on back on my N64.

I'm excited to get in on F6 on the ground floor this time. I waited so long to get an Xbox One that F5 never quite had that 'New Car Smell' going on. Everything I've seen so far looks great.

The amount of in game cash they are offering as Rewards for having large garages in the past games is kinda crazy. I'm just not sure I feel like grinding through hours of purchasing cars. It feels like buying a car in Forza 5 takes forever.

Yea, the Garage and Autoshow and specifically buying and sorting cars really sucks in FM5. It was even worse when it first released, they patched a couple awful bugs.

Fingers crossed everything is better in 6.

North America: 12 (Including 1 fictional track)
Europe: 11 (Including 2 fictional tracks)
Australia: 1
South America: 1 (Including 1 fictional track)
Asia: 1



This is a good post and the info should be in the OP now that it is confirmed.

I am sad Suzuka, Tsubka and Maple Valley didn't make the cut, but these new tracks look rad as hell. If some of them are half as fun as I've heard they are, 7 for 3 is a drat good trade.

Top Gear track has rain, that's cool. I wish Road Atlanta and Road America had rain too.

I find it a little bit odd that of all 9 new tracks, only one has night and one has rain. I figured since they were building these new they would build them with night and rain capabilities. I guess its a good thing that they have added night or rain to a lot of the FM5 tracks. It could help racing them in Career mode less tedious in the beginning when I'm going to be aching to race in the new environments.

Do you have to pre-order the super duper edition? Or can I just buy it when it comes out, pre-ordering is stupid especially for something thats not even a physical copy.

You can just wait and buy it, but one of the benefits of the super duper max edition is that you may play the game early. 10th instead of 20th I think? So you should buy it before the 10th.

Otherwise you'll be all :smith: while the thread is all :rice:

I know Affinity Level is back, but I haven't heard any report if increasing Affinity gets you discounts on new cars or parts or anything. In FM5 you got bonus XP for completing races based on the Affinity of the manufacturer you drove in that race, right?

Agreed! I never thought of that. I had been using the Suggested Line Off + Cockpit View Only for +20% CR, along with whatever Boost mods gave an increase in CR or XP, but now I will look for a nice purple and blue mod that cancel each other out for even more CR's.

Since we're "merging" the 2 online race leagues I wanted to do an interest check here. I know some people have A) wanted alternate race days and B) wanted racing line enabled races. I'm thinking of repurposing Gutbombs specs and putting them on with those changes. Is there any interest in this at all? If so I would be willing to put it on.

I was just about to goto the GRC thread and recommend that someone take over hosting, move to a different night, and make racing line optional.

I will attempt to make it out to both races. Time would have to remain in the 9-10 Eastern range.

Odd, the official description under the video with the car list states that it's 7 cars, and the list has 7 cars. However, the video shows the Infiniti and it's not mentioned in the description. I guess if it's the free car of the pack they don't count it?

Anyway, 8 cool new cars. Exciting!

The infinity is not part of the monthly DLC, it's part of the title update and is free for everyone.

Same. Some cars start near the bottom of a class, and don't have enough upgrades to make it to the top of that class, which makes that car kind of useless, except for any rivals events made for that car, or multiplayer spec races you can arrange.
