I'm looking at invites now. Don't know what your GT is though. Everyone on GAF is welcome. GAF gold members get bonus credits though.
You should. It's a great way to fill your races with fellow gaffers.
Hi there, just requested to join. For whatever reason i cant send you a pm. My gt is Deadpooljlp. Look forward to racing with fellow gaffers!
I jumped back into this game yesterday and had a stupid amount of fun. I noticed that I still have lots to do on it too, so I think I'm gonna make it my goal to 100% it. Also got the Porsche 959 from the Forzathon and I'm sad that I didn't get the earlier Forzathon cars, so it looks like a few trips to the auction house are in order for me!
If I come to complete all the stuff from the base game, I'll be looking to get Blizzard Mountain. From what I hear its really good?

Some of those cars are very expensive now so glad I got the 918 for free
This is another one which I missed out on and I sorely regret it because I remember it being stupidly quick in FH2.

Did they have to be ultimate burnouts? Anyway I won't cry over a missed forzathon challenge. I don't have enough time to play the game just for the fun of it so I only focus on the challenges with Porsches as rewards.

I had managed to get about three 3 stars drift zones a few 2 star and most 1 stars, but over two nights about two hours each night I got 3 stars on each drift zones.
Been meaning to do this, finally got around to it today, 3-starred everything with ease!
Done.
So, this week's forzathon will give us a barn find porsche, right?
And still no news on the second expansion? Really thought we'd know by now.

My copy (digital on X1) when driving really fast has on occasion sort of paused for a split second ever since I had it, and a couple of times the game has frozen where I have had to press the big Xbox button on my controller to get to the main dashboard, most recently this happened when I had just pressed [YES] to auction my Toyota Supra HE, the game just froze, when I went back it all loaded up fine (as it has always done) but when I went to the 'My Auction' section it said my car was there but it wouldn't show a image of it.
It does seem to have happened when I have been playing for a long time, like four hours, I have a white 'Sunset Overdrive' edition X1 and I would go ballistic if anything happened to my save game
I am getting more than slightly concerned about it especially after what happened to Don Joewon Song :/I know! the 918 has been going for CR-7m, which is a lot the same as the Lamborghini Huracán HE, I think maybe the 918 should have been a HE then it may be worth the CR-7m.

It could be any 'Burnout' as far as I know, I had one chain but I am pretty sure I didn't do ten 'normal burnouts'.
I know, it's a great tune.
Where is the Carrera GT though?
The Barn Find is the 1957 Porsche Speedster.
The 959 had better have that Paris Dakar upgrade body kit though!
Barn find starts in ten days.
Still no idea about the next expansion, I still think its going to be a proper rally one as the few rally type cars already in the game don't have proper rally upgrades like in Forza Horizon 1.
I have not played today had a bit of a rest from it for a day or so, trying to get some Horizon Zero Dawn played.

Thank you so much. I needed this good news after blowing a 10 lap goliath race on the last lap by smacking into a rock making me go from 1st to last on the final turn before the finish line.
I have a feeling we will get the announcement at the E3 press conference with the end of the reveal saying available now.

Gamertag is Khamakhazee and I play on PC,
Thanks for the heads up.
Anyone have some tips for the sprint style races/championships? I seem to have a lot of trouble with these and can't ever catch the leaders. Never have too much trouble on lapped courses.
It seems to come down to the type of car I'm using or how it's tuned?
EDIT: I'm playing against 'highly skilled' AI difficulty

Yeah, it's more of a car/tune question. In circuit races, if you're any good you'll be overtaking AI cars in the corners (they always brake early and never accelerate out of them as fast as they should). In sprint races you need a car with good launch, acceleration and top speed.

Will look, thanks.
Wow, holy shit.
EDIT: i tried your thing, rrs, and I got it after removing the AWD. 40K drift points, two achievements (the one I mentioned plus three stars at a drift zone), and I'm done with that one.
The best drift car is the 1974 Toyota Celica GT with Don Joewon Song tune 230+MPH C-Class, if you cannot get three stars on the Drift stages then there is something wrong.
I had managed to get about three 3 stars drift zones a few 2 star and most 1 stars, but over two nights about two hours each night I got 3 stars on each drift zones.
I got this tune last night, my god it's a beast. It's a bit uncontrollable for me, it almost feels too sensitive to weight transfer and feels like any subtle change in direction will throw it off altogether.
I was using it on the Byron Bay Suburbs DZ, which seems like a tight and technical DZ anyway (and the traffic doesn't help!), with the vast amount of power from that car, I just couldn't keep it on the road.

I had some trouble starting out, but the key is not to mash the throttle. Just feathering it is enough to send it into a nice smooth drift.

Nope, the big April reveal turned out to be about Porsches only.
The second expansion for Forza 6 (NASCAR) was released in May so maybe it'll be the same with Horizon.
still a mystery, going to guess E3?

This below,
I start not very far from the start of the drift-zone and try to enter at about 60-70mph and just hold the accelerator and feather it, also dab the front brakes or hand-brake (E-brake) to help, you need just enough spin to get the opposite lock on the steering.
I have ABS ON and Stability Control and Traction Control OFF, also NO brake assist and AUTO gearbox.
Is there a corner (Drift-zone) that you are good at, the one with your best score, just try the car on that Drift-zone and see how you get on with it.
I admit I am far from the best drifter, you just have to keep at it and once you get the feel it gets easier.
Take a look at this build on the Drift-zone I have found easiest using the DJS tune < NOT my video.
I ain't even mad. This is awesome

I will try to withhold my harsh judgment for this until I get to play it but that is severely disappointing. A good reminder for me to not buy a Season Pass before I know what's in it.
Hopefully I am wrong but it just looks so.....cheesy. It just feels like a plug for Hotwheels.
Not to mention it's set in the city which a few patches ago went to chugfest on my PC. It was fine for a few patches but I avoid races in that area because of it. But that's more my problem.

I had a huge grin on my face the whole trailer. This is gonna be so much fun!
Also hope the song gets added to one of the radio stations.

It will be divisive, but it looks like it could be fun.
I love trackmania layouts and course creation, and I saw figure 8 racing in the trailer. My biggest gripe with online is they didn't have enough fun shit to do. Playground games is three events.

It isn't. It's a new area with several themed islands, including what seems like a city one. Hopefully the performance will be better than in Surfer's.

Hot Wheels stuff looks like a good time, but more importantly, the Zonda R is back, (looking refreshed too!), so this is a must.

Saw that after my post. My opinion on this expansion is quickly going from wtf...to holy shit.
Especially after I saw they included the Toyota Hilux from the Top Gear Arctic special. One of my favorite episodes.

Erm, what the hell is that?
If this is a Hot Wheels endorsement then it should have been free and the costs covered by Hot Wheels, until I have a go at it I cannot say anything, but this isn't something I would have wanted in the slightest.
There have been a couple of Hot Wheels games out already, and they look terrible.
:/
I played the Hotwheels Xtreme Racing game during the PS1. Don't know why but I enjoyed it a lot as a kid.

I would have much preferred something along the lines of a full rally expansion like in the original Forza Horizon game, even the Gymkhana expansion some have mentioned I would have been more interested in.
The seems to be to be way too branded and should have been outside the expansion, like the Porsche DLC was.
I know Forza Horizon games are not hyper realistic, but this seems to be a step too far really, jumping in my Pagani Zonda R and heading off to the islands in the sky to drive upside down on plastic tracks, hmmm.
I do hope I am wrong on this though.
The members on the official site are going crazy about this expansion, half are jumping up and down with excitement and the other half are jumping up and down on their Xboxes.

Well it was very left field of them to do this. I guess Mattel and Hotwheels been doing a lot of business deals lately with Hotwheels being in Rocket League and NFS No Limits (who cares about this fucking mobile game anyway).

I get where you're coming from, but let's be honest: any pretense Horizon had about being even remotely serious was dropped long ago.
This is a game that lets you turn every other car into a AWD twin-turbo V12 nuttermobile that can do 300 mph any which way, survive thousand-foot cliff dives and do a barrel roll for good measure.
Cars here aren't the least bit constrained by reality; Horizon is the digital equivalent of playing with toy cars, (all the better for not having to lose them to the abyss that exists between couch cushions), so this expansion couldn't be more fitting.
Playground has yet to skip a beat and I couldn't be happier about the direction they went here.

The sim realistic crowd will get FM7 this year. It's funny seeing people shit themselves over this.
horizon 3 could really use a crazy fun expansion for online. There's three playground games events and drag racing since launch. Blizzard Mountain was great, but didnt stick around long at all for online stuff.

100%. Horizon is the crazy, Motorsport the srs bznss. This makes perfect sense to me, and meets the 'diversity' we demand of companies like MS.
