Finished the Formula 90's series in the Forza Drivers Cup. Incredibly easy to drive fast, incredibly difficult to race against. Miss your braking mark by a meter when driving alone and it's no big deal, just .005 seconds slower. Miss the braking mark by a meter when trailing someone by a 150 feet and your slamming face first up someone's ass.
I kinda wanna do Formula 90's SBC. They are just so much fun to drive.

I think the whole "slamming into each other's asses" analogy is a bit above the ESRB rating of Forza.
It's also why it may not make the best SBC series :rotate:

By the way, I missed this a couple days ago, Forzathon is active in FM7. The first one, which is running 13 days (so 11 more days) is:
FM7 #Forzathon is Live!
As of today, #Forzathon events in Forza Motorsport 7 are officially live! To kick off the launch, we’ve got three events in the game. #Forzathon events in FM7 are slightly different from those in Forza Horizon 3; this time around, you’ll need to complete events in sequence in order to get claim your rewards. Here’s a detailed look at the three events live now in the game:
This is Forza Motorsport
· Complete 5 laps at Maple Valley in a Classic Street Muscle division car
· Complete 5 laps in Dubai with a Track Toys division car
· Complete 5 laps at Mugello in a Forza Touring Cars division car
· Complete 5 laps at Prague in a GT Racing Reborn division car
Reward 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Forza Edition
Going the Distance
· Complete a Race at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps
· Complete 3 Autocross events
· Complete a Race at the Nürburgring in a Porsche
Reward: Astronaut Modern Driver Gear
Clean Sweep
· Beat a Rival
· Complete 5 laps in a Modern Hot Hatch division car
· Win a race in an Exotic GT division car
Reward: 1995 Nissan NISMO GT-RLM
Also in that link, a new Bounty Challenge for this month in rivals: Beat Dan Greenawalt in a 2016 Ford Shelby GT350R on Laguna Seca. 2010 Audi TT RS Coupe for setting a time, TBA car for beating the time.
And Tuesday's Specialty Dealer cars will be the Subaru Legacy B5 2.0 GT, the TVR Sagaris, and the Ferrari 458 Italia.
How to kill all enthusiasm for playing Forza:
Try playing against Unbeatable AI.
Race on Daytona ever.
Introduce a new audio bug that makes the "series points trickle" SFX play LITERALLY FOREVER and only stop by quitting the game. Unfortunately, it happens 100% of the time after finishing a single player race. THAT IS NOT GOING TO WORK.
I'll be doing something else today now~
Did they ever fix that bug, because holy shit it was infuriating and I haven't played in a week or two
For Forzathon can you just set up a race in freeplay to complete the requirements?
Edit: "this time around, you’ll need to complete events in sequence in order to get claim your rewards. "
Oh, that sucks. That means we can't really do some of these in multiplayer unless we dedicated a number of races to it.
Edit 2: hehe "complete 3 autocross events" Does it count as completing if I just cross the finish line? IE I just drive straight over those damn barrels?

Not yet, that I'm aware of. I learned the trick is to not hammer A after a race. Wait until you get your season points and you're good to go. At least it's not the worst workaround.

For what it's worth, I play only on PC and have never come across this bug.
Is Forzathon behaving strangely for anyone? I finished the 'Clean Sweep' set, the achievement popped, but I didn't get the car until I went back to career and did another race.

Since there seems to be no real benefit of being above the car tier I'm currently at I'm starting to cull all these damn cars. It makes me feel clean inside.
It sucks you can't auction cars you got at a discount on the rewards screen. Also I can't buy an El Camino at auction
Stupid auction house.

I'm also super torn on whether Gulf liveries or Castrol liveries are better. Having grown up along Castrol Supras, Celicas, and now seeing the Castrol XJR-14 XJR-9 in FM7... I'm thinking red white and green suits me.
edit: woops wrong Jag
that being said I really wish they'd put in the Silk Cut XJR-14... gorgeous car
November Bounty Hunter Update The November Bounty Hunter is going strong in Forza Motorsport 7. As we announced last week, this week’s target is Turn 10’s own Dan Greenawalt (GT: Nebuchadnezzar). Dan’s driving in his own car (the terrifyingly powerful 2016 Ford Shelby GT350R) on one of his favorite tracks, Laguna Seca. As of this writing, Dan’s time is a 1:39.186. This Bounty Hunter closes on November 26 at midnight Pacific, which means there’s plenty of time for you to set your best time. Keep in mind that everyone who sets a lap (fast or slow, clean or dirty!) will be receiving the 2010 Audi TT RS Coupe after the event is closed.
Earlier in the week we dropped our first Bounty Hunter Reward Car poll, allowing players to vote for the exclusive reward car for this event. After thousands of votes, the results are in: Players who beat Dan’s final posted time will win the 2016 W Motors Lykan HyperSport. It was a close race in the end, with the Ferrari Scaglietti and the Lykan running neck and neck the entire time. So close, in fact, that we’ve decided to also offer the Scaglietti to folks as a secondary reward. All players who score a clean lap under 1:40.000 will also be sent the Scaglietti once the event has closed. That’s a chance to win THREE amazing exclusive cars in one event!
One final note about the Bounty Hunter: Dan’s final lap time will be set no later than 5 p.m. Pacific on Friday, November 24.
Next week's Specialty Dealer cars (pics at link):
Nissans Skyline H/T 2000 GT-R
Silvia K’s
Lancia Stratos HF Stradale
For our Weekly Division stuff, I figure turnout might be questionable for Thursday (US Thanksgiving) so why don't we just call it an open week and people can use that building/tuning time to fill out some classes, as I know we all complain that we're light in at least one or two.

I did not expect to fully destroy Dan's time that badly. <_<
Did Dan Greenawalt make that time by driving his car on the actual track or doing that in game?

Finally got the game! I'm glad I waited for the patches to fix the in-race issues and the menu stuttering as when the game is working, it's been working well. Pretty buggy though - first intro race it loaded had no audio at all except some corny menu music, had to quit and restart. When I tried to load my first cup race it crashed to desktop then hung at the title when I tried to load. Relaunched to have it hang at the loading screen before the title every time until I rebooted my PC. It's CTD during race loading or menus two other times, and the hang on loading thing has come back as well. But at least once it goes, it looks good.
Seems to me that the internet complaining about credits was totally unjustified - I finished the first cup series and with those races and the hub login bonus thing I had 600k and a handful of free cars.
The garage UI though - was their design goal to put as few cars on the screen as possible? It's ridiculous, you're encouraging collecting and people will inevitably own hundreds, but hey we'll let you see 5 at a time. It's rim selection all over again, what does this studio have against grids?!
ugh, fucking forzathon keeps not registering i did a thing. i had to do 6 races in a porsche to get 3 races to work, and then i even got the achivement for finishing this is speed and didn't get the car or the final part. getting real fucking tired forza.
edit: fffff and i was just doing the bounty, and missed the time by .03 seconds. 1:37.377 when the bounty time is 1:37.343. whyyy.

Okay, so is it just me or does anyone else feel like the AI races Seabring incredibly well compared to every other track in the game? Like, I enjoy Seabring and know the corners well, but I always seem to have to race my absolute hardest to get ahead when any other track I can go on autopilot and win by a mile. I'd literally never be able to win it if I wasn't on long races either since it tends to come down to the last lap. Only racing against Pro drivatars too (the 60% ones), so it shouldn't be that crazy. And yet, consistently, it's an actual challenge ...

I can't say I've done a TON of races on Seabring, but the ones I have done I haven't done well against the AI. I always thought that I just picked cars that were too under powered for Seabring/Road America.
In Cow world, I tried my damndest to make a C class Subaru Brat. It. Just. Won't. Work. I swear the game doesn't want that car to work. I mean I don't expect it to be the best thing in it's homologation class; I just want it to not get on 2 wheels when going around corners that are a little bumpy. I tried all reasonable adjustments but couldn't get it to work. So when I put the springs up to max and the roll bars up to max it in a setup it should not be able to have body roll. It might handle wonky in other ways, but at least it shouldn't tip over like a semi in a hurricane.

There was a patch yesterday, not a lot of note, mostly fixes, but a couple stood out for people around here(bolding mine):
• Fixed an issue where user profiles were impacting audio quality for some players.
• Fixed an issue where players could not sell certain cars on the Auction House. • Fixed an issue where the level up counter audio persists after a player has leveled up.
• Fixed an issue where spinning a vinyl with the d-pad while in the Livery Editor moved the item .2, not .1 as intended.
• Fixed an issue where a player’s livery would disappear in certain modes.
I didn't get a chance over the weekend and I won't get a chance today to figure a division for this week, so we'll count it as another free week, Weekly Div will return next week.

Holy shit, that livery editor decimal thing wasn't intentional on their part? That's been in since forever. Thank god they changed it.

Also, I am not sure if this occurred within the last seven days or not - I have not been playing the game as actively lately - the price and content of mod packages has been modified for the better. Just a heads up!
I just buy the top mod pack thats like 30k and make 400k off each card it drops.
Valuetown.
I'm guessing this is while doing single player races on the max number of laps setting.
ya, but it's still worth even at the lower settings. i do a lot on the middle laps setting where each race is about 15m. with 3 mods you can usually get the mod bonus to +200% without even having to change anything in your racing behavior, and that ends up with ~100k extra per race. Even assuming you only get 3 good cards, thats 10:1 roi.

You can't give someone a pirate ship in one game, and then take it back in the next game. It's rude.
Edit: "this time around, you’ll need to complete events in sequence in order to get claim your rewards. "
