ok interest pipped, have you shared the replay?

 

[zorbsie]

Even though I missed the main races, I'm glad I got some races in with you fellas. Does anyone have the standings? Or saved replays they can share with me for the standings. Also if you have a Time Trial time for the two races PM the times to me so I can add them in.

[p3tran]

good racing guys, as always

thats a lot of muscle for next week
and these things were build to last. maybe we should go full damage on the main event too 8)

 

[zorbsie]

Quick change fellas, dumping Yas Marina for Laguna Seca. Not sure on the laps, is 5 too much?

 

[soundscream]

Zorbsie you left out all the cars from the 60's

 

[zorbsie]

I knew something was wrong when I put that list together. Of course it's no longer 70's muscle cars then. We'll call it classic American muscle.

I suggested 71 and earlier because after that the choices got kind of limited to a few types. The 60's is where it was really at 69-70 specifically.

Not in front of Forza right now, but I will change it up to reflect that. Would you rather 1960 - 1970 or 1960 - 1979? Let me know and I'll make the proper adjustments.

I would probably say 60-71so the cuda isn't left out.

OK I've updated the car list. Lets do this!

 

[Devildoll]

Ooo, muscle cars are probably my favorite type of car in Forza.
At least in the prior versions, i haven't dabbled that much with them in Forza 5.

A lot of options this week, i'm probably going to build something ridiculous.
I also just realized that the sorting options are shit in 5, year, class and make? ( Power of the cloud is still limited in terms of sorting complexity i guess. )

I need to know which one of these has the most ponies dammit!

I'm going with this beast. Used it to take down Shortt's MR2 on Laguna Seca 1:44.605

 

[SCHUEY F1]

I will just be in for TT. Going on vacation soon.

 

[WJD]

Just got this delivered today!

How do I get involved in the online shenanigans?

 

[Mascot]

I might not have a Bone or FM5 so can't join in (Dan stiffed me with the signed freebie), but I sure do appreciate your race banners, Zorbsie. Very clean, very sharp, very punchy.

Are you a graphic designer by profession?

Take a look at this doc. Add people from there. If you want to send me your info I'll add you to the list. We race pretty much every Sunday at 2:00pm EST. Make sure you have a car that fits the restrictions for this week and come join the fun.

Thanks for the kinds words Mascot, yes I am actually. Although now I'm a professional dad, doing some freelance work when I can find it.

Chevelle and el Camino at 450 ponies

Chevelle it is!

Edit: ive been running some online trials with this car.
Testimonials of the car include, but are not limited to "man! that Chevelle passed me like i was standing still!"

 

[BADNED]

April Car Pack got an early leak:

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

TX/T500 to CSP V1,V2 and Elite pedals adapter available soon.

Although I've adjusted to using the Thrustmaster pedals I can't wait to dump them and use the CSP again.


Nice to see the Transit Super Sport Van return.

How many new cars has the car pass had now?

 

[Marco1]

PLEASE fix the gold/chrome special paints names mix up!

 

[zorbsie]

Hate to sound like a negative Nancy, but the Transit Super Sport Van is back? I know it's a fun ride to have. Put a free candy design on it and go into open lobbies for a laugh. But it's such a wasted slot. Mind you I want that Elise, bad.

 

[Mascot]

If Turn 10 don't do Forzavista on a Singer 911 then, quite frankly, they are wasting the whole concept.

The Singer 911: All You Ever Wanted to Know - CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS

Nice back door to getting a Porsche into the game, too.

 

[p3tran]

that ~430mb update I am currently downloading, does it have to do only with the april cars or is there anything more in it?

Probably just the cars.

 

[G Rom]

Thought I'd share those :

My reaction when I saw the rally kits for the R5 :

 

[Devildoll]

April Car Pack got an early leak:

aw, for a split second i thought that was the new volvo S60 V8 supercar.

Well, i ain't saying no to a holden either.


I went into the store to check out the new cars, and noticed that about 80 cars in the store was flagged as free, is that supposed to happen?

 

[G Rom]

Yes, they give you all the cars from DLC for free once now. This will please everyone who's been asking for this since DLC was introduced to FM.
Only works on the account which has downloaded the packs though as I've bought the season pass on my American account (normal one wouldn't work on US store) and I only see the "Free" on the VIP and LCE cars.

I'm pretty sure that they added back in this update the "house icon" when buying a car to show you which ones you owned as well.

 

[zorbsie]

Awesome. I always hated that it wasn't there. Seemed like an oversight.

I feel like a broken record G Rom, but fantastic pics. If anything gets me to buy the car packs it's your pics. Just outstanding.

Devildoll, that video you posted. Volvo starting up and revving. hnngggggg.

Hey G Rom, check your PM's!

 

[SCHUEY F1]

So many free cars, good times.

edit: kind of tempted to get the car pass now as well, lol.

 

[Sordid]

Thought I'd share those :

Oh wow, dat Renault 5. I might actually have to buy a car pack nice pics dude!

 

[G Rom]

Thanks for the comments about the photos guys !
Here are some more of other DLC cars :

 

[Sordid]

Can't buy the April car pack itself yet :*( it's either £2.39(!) for individual cars or £39.99 for the car pass.

Edit: Of course it starts working as I type that!

InsideSimRacing visited Turn 10 according to their FB page and they mention seeing the next DLC and that it's incredible. They say their article will be up on April 10th so not much long to wait to get info on this mysterious free DLC it seems.
