That article mentions another expansion pack too. Hope that's true. Nice deal on the pre-order cars, but I already have them.

I want a f1 car before they stop dlc. It would be amazing tearing around the city streets in one.

Seems plausible. Just 13 days to find out and I hope if true this means Porsche for FM6 on disc day one.

I dunno, I WANT it to be true but I am having doubts. I mean, that would be fuckin incredible but with the new NFS coming up I just don't see EA giving up the license.
They don't give up the license, they're sub licensing to those who are willing to pay the price.
Awesome pack, E34 M5 is one of my favorites.
Given how the text description happened, I'd say its ...true?
edit: also I seem to notice a great slowdown on shooting down this "rumor", so I guess 1+1 equals as much as it ever has 8)

Click on them, game tells me to buy the pack, but I pre-ordered the game and had those cars since day one. So did the Pre-Order pack screw these cars up for anyone else who had pre-ordered?
Nevermind. Big brain fart.

So I have all 20 smash boards in F&F, but Forza Rewards has never updated past 17/20. Any ideas?

So guess playing F&F last night did the trick because when I checked today I was 500/500.

Just in case you guys haven't seen the other thread:
Porsche returns to Forza with Horizon 2 expansion
Porsche returns to Forza with Horizon 2 expansion
Sweet. Horizon 2 has so much damn content anymore. I got the game a few months ago and I don't think I have enough free time to finish it 100% like I did with Forza 1.
Porsche returns! Seriously, the support Forza games after launch is just fantastic. Nice to see devs stick around with a product for this long. I guess having the two year cycle affords them the time to keep working on the game. Super pumped to see if this will extend to Forza 6 as well.
EDIT: Read the whole article, looks like it does extend to FM6. Hype level at MAX!

I've really been looking forward to this Porsche expansion, and while I'm still excited, I'm a little bummed that this isn't more like a Storm Island expansion.
Kind of stinks (for me) that it release tomorrow, same day as ESO. Not sure when I'll get to it.
I think PG's support of FH2 after launch has been solid, but it's mostly been focused on areas where they can profit. Understandable, but some QOL enhancements to mutiplayer wouldn't have killed them.

Just finished the Sports Utility Heroes championship. Driving the BMW X5 across the countryside was amazing .

Bought this game at launch and haven't played it but man am I impressed. Very fun game so far.
Also, is there an actual GAF club?

I don't suppose you can buy that one individually?

The 918 is amazing..... that and the 911 GT3 RS 4.0 were worth the $14.95 just by themselves!
There is a shortcut between corners in the village. You gain 10 seconds.
Got a clip of that? That could totally save me.

Thanks dude. I didn't see that last short cut and it was just killing my times. Can't wait to try this event again now.
EDIT: Did it, first try.

They really went completely bat-shit crazy with the detail on those Porsches. Even more than usual.
(2014) 911 Turbo S brakes:
My father had a 944 Turbo and everything looks perfectly as I remember it from when I was a child, even the thickness of the lines of the air-conditioning sliders, it's really insane (there is one thing though: the radio antenna was embedded into the windshield as a thin wire, only mistake I could find on that car).

Maybe thems FM6 Future proofed!
Ford GT Guy and I did all of them in co-op. I'll see if I can win the Macan one and upload a video quick.
Edit: Missed the video above but here's my run anyways lol. Not sure what happened to the recording (super low framerate and stuttering) so I might do it again.
Edit2: So I redid the race and recorded another video, which recorded at a good framerate this time but has no audio. Thanks GameDVR.
Finished off the Porsche DLC yesterday and now I'm at 2000/2000. This was a damned fantastic game. I'm going to have a soft spot for so much of the music in this game for a while. My favourite songs are Gecko (Overdrive), Hey Now, Liberate, The Road Goes On Forever, Stranger Love, Hydra, The Mother We Share, Wolves.
One criticism I have is there was not enough open-world, sandbox type game play in this game. I ran out of Bucket Lists and collectibles (Barn Finds, experience boards, speed traps, etc...) a long, LONG time before I ever finished the 168 championship races. It would've been nice if there was more of a balance (i.e. reduce the number of championship races, or increase the amount of Bucket Lists, speed traps, barn finds, collectibles).
I don't even like racing games that much. The only reason I bought Forza Horizon 2 is because of its open-world style. I skipped Motorsport 5 and I will for sure skip Motorsport 6, as I have no interest in a pure racing game. But I hope in 2016 or 2017 they bring out Forza Horizon 3 with more open-world goodness.

This update is amazing, wonder what Microsoft offered EA for this.
Whats the official car count so far for Horizon 2?
316 cars total at this point including the 15 traffic cars, all dlc so far (pre-order, VIP, promotion, etc.)
More cars than you can shake a dipstick at!
SkinnerSw33t

Not sure the official count but my Horizon Promo count is up to 314 after the Porsche DLC. That includes at least 2 cars that are just promotional skins, so ~312 is my estimate.
^ Ahh. Forgot about the traffic cars.
Storm Island. New area to explore, 6 cars, heaps of new events and event types, adds the most on to the game by far in terms of hours compared to the other two - definitely worth the money.

There seems to be no active Rear-Wheel Steering in the 991-series 911 Turbo S (and the Porsche 918 Spyder neither)
This is from my game:

and this is how the rear wheels are supposed to behave:

Hopefully this will be properly simulated in Forza Motorsport 6.
