Slowly work towards turning all assists off, and then aim for a HUDless display. Racing games are always so much more involving this way, so much more rewarding. Higher levels of concentration are needed but you won't ever learn a track properly with things like the mini-map turned on.

And obviously, if you aren't already: use manual gears with a clutch. It works even with a joypad if you remap the buttons so you can roll your thumb on to the clutch.

I've got all assists off now I believe, but I haven't jumped to clutch yet. I just can't quite get the logic right with a button press clutch, how does it make such a big difference?

There's a nasty lag between switching gears when using manual that is not present when properly using manual and clutch. Tenths of a second that can seriously add to a huge difference at the end of a lap. Usually around 1 - 3 seconds on a normal course. Let's not even talk about a longer course like Behemoth.

You know, I'm not a big Porsche fan but I must say, I really do miss them in Forza.
Mostly because I miss the sound of that howling flat-6 engine.

Will they be back anytime soon?

They are doing a 2.4 hour multiplayer race hopper on the ring. Last weekend was Le Mans it was great. Sim damage is on too, so pitting is a must. It's really awesome but a huge chunk of time. Not sure if this will be multiclass too, but I wouldn't doubt it.

Sure why not? You don't even have to race all 2.4 hours really. You can just hang out and talk shit or something.

Any chance I can join in at the beginning and run to dinner? Don't plan on competing but I think it'd be fun just to be on the track.

GT is RoKKeR IV.

Such an easy and seamless experience to get everyone in a party and a multiplayer hopper list together.

Thanks Microsoft.

At least we didn't have to wait too long.

That was a lot of fun gents, despite getting torched by pretty much all of you! Chilling, talking games and whatever else while pounding laps on a beautiful track made for a great time.

Fantastic time yesterday fellas. Even getting in a lobby was entertaining. Chatting and driving around for 2.4 hours(2 hours and 40 minutes) was loads of fun.

I wont make the practice round today. Smash into each other for me.

Anyone around to try out these stock FF's? I'm thinking of setting up a lobby in 2 hours if people can make it? Add me on XBL (Block Mate) and send me a message if you fancy it! Just do a few races for fun.
