Sweet, I will buy the cheapest hunk of junk 221 times.

Oh god, this is taking a long ass time. Is there a way to check how many cars are in your garage without counting?

In FH2 it's in "statistics" but in FM5 it only says how many cars of each manufacturer you have(edit: at least as far as I know, because: see post above).
Pro Math teacher tip: If you have 10.000.000Cr and need to buy a 12.000Cr car 221 times, keep doing that until your credits are down to 7.348.000Cr

It shows how many cars are in your garage in your stats.

FH2: Progress -> Stats
Forza 5: Forza Profile -> My Stats

I'm sure the older ones work similarly.

Thanks, guys.
And yea, of course I did it the math way first, but I keep changing which cars I buy so I don't get bored, lol.

New interview with Dan, confirms new Ford GTE Le Man Racer. Unsure if DLC or not though...probably DLC if it was only unveiled a few weeks back and cars take 6 months to add into the game.

The race car's been finished for at least a year now, so I'd imagine it's pretty far along.

Given how easy money is to come by in Forza games - and how I enjoy earning it anyway - I'm not going to sit and buy 200 cars in Forza 5/Horizon 2 when I could be playing those games.

I agree with the money coming easy. Having completed career mode 100% and owning every car, I still have ~15 million credits in Forza 5. Although most of that came near the middle/end of the career mode and after a shitload of time put in, not that I didn't enjoy it of course.

However I'd much rather be able to buy any car I want at the start of the game, just for Photomode and hot laps.
There's also plenty of expensive cars I'd like to use early on in career mode that normally you can't. I mean if they're not using cars as prizes/incentives for winning career mode events/gaining levels then it doesn't matter to me when I get them really. I'll still play the hell out of it.

Nice, also the Zakspeed Capri. Awesome car!

Anyone knows if they said anything about working on wheel support/ffb?

Lime Rock, another 2 years old leak confirmed

ShamePain · Jul 22, 2015

The trees look real nice, seems like the same tech they used for trees on the Nurburgring, hopefully some of the returning tracks got updated too. Spa was particularly bad.

Indeed.
Hadn't noticed.
What i noticed is all pics are mid day in clear weather but that might mean nothing.

4 tracks left ?

So that makes it 2 after the inevitable: Monza and Pacific Raceways announcements

They should just announce Monza we all know.it's coming.

Azzawon · Jul 22, 2015

Only ever driven Lime Rock in iRacing, but I really enjoy it. Glad it's coming to Forza!

The Zakspeed Capri is an absolute beast too, can't wait to get my hands on it and do some laps around the Nordschleife.

This should be pretty fun too:

They don't seem to race Lime Rock at night/rain in real life, so I guess that rules those out.

Fortinbras · Jul 22, 2015

Never heard of Limerock Park. Is this considered a good racing track?

etta · Jul 22, 2015

Oh shit, that 1969 Boss looks so badass.

Lime Rock is a nice addition. A nice little track.

Spa is already shown in the last car announcement.

TheAdmiester · Jul 22, 2015

Zakspeed Capri, damn...

Also, a pretty historic car snuck by in that list with only one mention and no pictures. The 1955 Mercedes 300 SLR.

I don't think it's the open top version because that had "722" in the name as far as I can remember. If it's the one I showed in the picture, I'd be amazed if it was laser scanned because to my knowledge there's only one in existence.

Hard to judge from that shot. The straight after Eau Rouge has the ugliest trees in FM5.

Dice · Jul 22, 2015

Well I went ahead and bought all the cheap cars. Now everything new is over 30k. I have 136 in my garage. I've found that you very quickly make money in Horizon 2 from the races, level up bonuses, and top driver winnings.

I'll probably get to 200 cars quite naturally, especially if I take on the habit of keeping different designs I like as separate cars for my more favored models and different class specs for some that are more flexible in terms of what is enjoyable with them.

If it comes to it and seems easy enough, I may make a little Rabbit GTI army to bump over 300 at the end, but I bet you'll also make money quickly in Forza 6, so it's not something I'd go out of my way for even though a trade of say 500k in Horizon 2 for 5 million in Forza 6 would be quite nice.

Taking the time to look at both...there are a ton of environmental differences there (despite more motion blur).

Eh. I don't think so. Its small, difficult and impossible to overtake on(in real life).

Some people like it. It has character. It's just not what I'd call a great *race* track.

The GTE is far from finished. What you saw in June will differ quite a bit from what you will see at Daytona in January and more so after that!

It is the Moss/Jenkinson #722 Mille Miglia racer and not the Uhlenhaut Coupe.

In daytime the lighting seem more or less the same technically. It's less in your face compared to forza 5, the trees look much better, the crowds are 3d, 24 cars on track vs 16 in fm5, dynamic tire barriers and other small improvements here and there.

It's cool that the windshield is casting a shadow in FM6, where there isn't one in FM5.

So you ever play so much with all these hypercars and turbo charger stuff that the sound of their engine gets tiresome so you bust out an SLR and it's like mmmmmmmmmmm

No, that's when you whip out a Tesla. Plus your video has reminded me of how awful the exhaust farts were in Forza 5, hopefully those are changed in fm6.

Well, still better than no car. It was one of the few classical racers that handled well in FM4 so it's still a welcome return.

Also, are rain drop effects reduced in open top cars with no wipers?

Seanspeed · Jul 22, 2015

Nah, not really. Entirely different types of tracks. You can overtake at Long Beach as well.

What I was coming in here to ask. Sweet!

Spaceman Spiff · Jul 22, 2015

We knew it was coming for a while, but that doesn't make it any less exciting to see it made official: Lime Rock Park is a wonderful addition to the Forza track roster. The series sometimes lacks for tracks that work for older, slower machines, and Lime Rock scales well up to some rather fast ones, too.

Only a few circuits shy now of being able to run the entire IMSA Tudor Championship schedule; we've come a long way from the handful of ALMS tracks in previous games.

I wonder how many actually new models we're gonna see? So many are just recycled from FH2 DLC packs... Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, there are many cars in Horizon I have wanted to actually get on a track.

Porsche9146 · Jul 22, 2015

With Lime Rock, Daytona and Watkin's Glen all added, we now have every track on the IMSA schedule but Mosport, the Circuit of the Americas, VIR and Belle Isle. We still only have Indianapolis, the Indianapolis infield and Long Beach from IndyCar, which sort of surprises me because Mid-Ohio and Barber seem like they'd be as good a fit as Lime Rick, and Sonoma was of course cut after only appearing in FM4.

The cars are produced by the same outsourcing company and there's only so much they can produce, especially considering Horizon 2 is being supported this long after launch. The two franchises can now share car assets even more easily given that both support night/weather.

Horizon and Motorsports have always shared cars. Which make it annoying when FH2 DLC cars are identical to FM5 on-disc cars, such as the 2010 Mazdaspeed 3, or FM5 DLC like the 1956 Ford F100, 2013 Audi RS4 Avant. *cough* ripoff *cough*

shinnn · Jul 22, 2015

I think they toned down a bit the "3D" grasses and improved the ground textures.

Like in the Lime Rock pics

In FM5 it should be full of grass.

Good. Road is more important. I hope they toned down the way the road reflects the sun, compared to 5.

Forza 5 cars didn't support rain effects, working windshield wipers and nighttime cockpit illumination. It's whole other load of work to be done, take a guess why Forza 5 had 10 cars per month as DLC and Horizon 2 only 6 and Forza 6 only 7.
