It was in the official press release on forzamotorsport.net that not only is the pack releasing November 1, but to coincide with it Turn10 is offering a "hot lap" event on Mugello using the Aventador. Weekly, they will randomly give 100 people a unicorn for posting a lap time to the board. Doesn't have to be a top time, just A time.

Sweet! That is pretty freakin awesome.

I am a bit surprised the servers are still down. They were supposed to be back up like 4 hours ago.

Nice, how can we find that race once it goes live, please?

And are you talking about the first car pack? November 1? :D

Another question, is any reason to replay the world tour? I just finished last week. I'm doing some events + getting some autovista cars.

IMO doing the World Tour over again would not be very wise if you were trying to complete all the events. The World Tour has the potential to force you into doing the same events over again and a result you won't make much of a dent on completing the game (so to speak). I would say if you aren't sure what you want to race it might be cool to have World Tour assist you in that sense.

For me I am going to pick cars that I like (within the manufacturer that I am trying to get level 50 affinity), go to the events list, see which are green and unchecked, and then proceed to live in front of my TV for the next couple of months. Should be a good time :)

Thanks for answering. :)

I agree with you, I'm curious to see what the upcoming cars packs are going to be. My 360 is going to Forza only. I have more games coming but getting my Event List more and more complete is so good. Getting affinity to a level 50 must be a pain (wonder is skyfinch have done that, probably).

Getting all the Ferrari's or the top 5 most expensive cars seems way to hard for me because it's too much money.

It would be under Community > Rivals > Hot Laps > Mugello racing event. And yes, I was referring to the November 1st car pack. Make sure you have your Season Pass if you don't already!

Thanks! Yeah I already have my Season Pass. :) The quantity of cars in the packs are going to be the same on all packs?

Shame that, then, I'll have to give Credits to get them, here I was saving for my Ferrari's...Oh well, the Event List is big enough to spend some quality time on it.

Can't wait to try my luck to win, I think I'm never going to get a unicorn.

If you're hard pressed on cash, you should really give Rivals more attention. And just take each opponent one by one. The amount of cash you'll rake in dwarfs anything the season can bring. Yes, there will be ten cars per pack.

Thanks again, I should really improve my skills and then try Rivals, last time I got so many messages from GAF Club saying "x member" beat your time. But they were so many, I know that I'm a terrible driver but I love cars.

GAF Club turns on a spam message center every time I try Rivals. It's madness.

Yeah I was racking up like 150k per opponent on hockenheim today until the servers went down. The career gives pitiful payouts.

Holy shit @ a new car pack on November 1st, can't wait for the Bel-Air and the Aventador!

DasRaven said:
Think about how I feel, none of my first 3 "sporty cars" have made it into the game.
If I don't get the chance to recreate my unrealized dreams, Forza 4 will remain an imperfect gem for me.
1. 88 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe + 2012 5.0 (BOSS302 engine)
2. 87 Shelby GLHS + A853 (Neon SRT-4 engine)
3. 97 Mazda MX-6/Mystere + MZR (Mazdaspeed3 engine)

I honestly want the MX-6 more than almost any other car for FM4.
Still the most beautiful car I've ever owned.

I'm lucky as my second car was a Mitsubishi Starion. Even though it was sent to Starion heaven by a speeding taxi-driver a long time ago, it's amazing all these years later to be now driving a virtual creation of it. Of course it was the first car I bought in Forza 4.

When it comes to this game, friend, you and I are the same person. I am not that great either, and I often stir up controversy in random open league games (hey, private room that shit if you don't want me to come in and dominate your pathetic car club), but i absolutely love cars and I love this game!

I have so much wood for those early-mid 80s sports(ish) cars. First car was a liftback RA40 Celica, but always wanted a turbo Cordia (shut up), [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1984-1989_Nissan_Gazelle_(S12)_GL_hatchback_01.jpg]this style Gazelle[/url], first gen Integra, early-mid 80s RX7 or a Mark 2 Supra.

T10 have done alright by me in that regard, giving me a good selection of those cars already.

Servers are back up, the problem with the car club thumbnails showing up as black is fixed now. If you are still seeing black thumbnails in the garage go to the main FM4 splash menu (the big 4) and then back into your garage to fix it. If any of you guys are still experiencing the black thumbnail after that send me a PM please :)

Yes, got to level 50. It was difficult sticking with one manufacture. Took me a total of 28 hours driving Ferraris to reach this.

Event listing starts to slow down in terms of events that Ferraris are eligible. You might have to repeat events or play online.

By the way, 50 hours I've played in total, 25% of event listing. It's a big ass game.

the gaf time trials thingy mentioned by jube should definitely, 100%, be open to ALL gaf members not just those in the car club. so no, we should not use a car from the gaf garage. anything else i'm open to, but i definitely like the idea of a spec race with the same cars and an even playing field. i'd prefer it this way everytime personally, and i'm fine with honor system and leaderboards to create our own "rivals" for this. my 2 cents.

Let's get a contest started then.

What about the Senna Special starting tomorrow (or today, the 28th?) and running a week or two?
And only times posted in that time period will count.

That car is a beast to control, aint it? You were actually ahead of me all the way til the Kink. Hint: If you take the right line, you can get through it completely flat out. ;)

Sometimes I feel like I am the only one in the world who would love to see the original Mini Cooper in the game! :(

It's a damn shame as it is my all time favourite car. And is hella fun to drive!
 
Okay, so it does sound like The Senna Special would be a good one to use. I will PM Jube and ask if hes still down for giving us prizes and if so I would like it to start Monday and go for a week. Then in the evening of the next Monday, we will determine things like the winner, most improved, etc.

Everyone down for that?

I am completely out the loop on celebrity car drivers. I don't know who is legendary or who is disgraceful. I thought he was just some foreign guy. :/


As for the avatar, thanks! I've got soooo many more now. *evil laugh*

It really is, to the extent that it feels like you're never much more than a hair's width away from a mouthful of Armco. Even keeping that in mind, I'll feel the back end getting away from me every now and then and have to short-shift to keep the peace. Staving off the 'Vette's attemtpts to shorten your life expectancy is a big part of why this might be my favorite Rivals event.

Thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to keep it in mind. As it is, I lift ever so slightly heading into the Kink and taking it flat ought to be good for a tenth or two. It's the second-to-last corner, where you quickly cut left and put a wheel or two over the curb, where I also feel I'm losing time. Gonna work on that one as well.

WHAT? Dude! Go and watch Senna, the documentary that just came out. And, if you can't find that, watch this. It is a short Top Gear Tribute to the one of the greatest drivers ever.

Hmm, it sounds like you guys had a good time with the camera recently. LOL!

I must admit, I'm a little surprised that anyone playing a car game wouldn't know who Senna was. Shit, he even had his own game!

I work in a school, university grade... many students here doesn't even know who Pele is. They don't believe there was such a player.

I'm down.

Although I suggest starting it tomorrow and run until next monday, gives two weekends for us who don't have all the time in the world during the week.

That is probably a better idea. I had thought about that, but I want to know from Jube what he can offer so I can write a "official" post about the event. Once I know more information I will post something.

Anyone up for creating a Banner or such for these events?

Didn't take a close look at things but it looks like clubs are ranked? What sort of things do we need to do to rank higher? My guess would be to rank high on average on the rivals mode. Anything else?

It seems to follow the similar thing of Forza 3 where it gives you some ridiculously high time for all the events you haven't actually completed. Then, when you complete them, it gives you that new time. The only problem is that really large clubs will be at a disadvantage since it seems to be an average of everyones time in the club.

I could be wrong though.
