God damnit, it had better be the ST165. So much better looking than the ST185. Still my (modest) dream car.There's some speculation about the Aston Martin Cygnet being in the pack.
Carlos Sainz is a new clue. Of course everyone is speculating that it is about a Celica, either the ST165 or the ST185 (both were in the Forzalopnik surveys).
A very successful V8 powered race car is another clue. I'd kill for the Mercedes Sauber C9 or another Group C car to be the answer to this one !
I guess the Corvette GT2 could be right too but IIRC, BADNED said that we wouldn't get it due to technical stuff.
Edit : Beaten on the new clues.

Does anybody know if there is a way to find out which tracks you have not raced on?

There are spreadsheets compiled around the place of all the tracks that you simply tick-off when raced on, or you could start one of your own.
That's what I've been doing, although I have given up trying to get that particular cheevo just for now.

Does the community gallery still exist on FM.net?

I love this little pocket rocket. Loves sliding around and going flat stick into corners.
Best fun little car in the game IMO.

My settings for Maple:
Is Brian Ekberg still the T10 community manager? I follow him on Twitter as an early source of Forza-related news, but almost all of his tweets are just unrelated garbage.
Is he still conspicuous by his total absence on the .net forums? I find it hard to visit that site any more as half of the posts seem written by the same illiterate 12-year-old, and the other half written by know-it-all types with holier-than-thou attitudes and overbearing senses of self importance.

Has anyone tried using the 'cloud backup option' for FM4.
I'm scared of losing my save game and design/vinyl group files, but I have only just discovered this option now, and want to use it.
Is it messy?

It sucks ass. If you search for your GT in "Browse Photos" you can see your shots, but when I go to my storefront and "Photos", it just dies.
Stupid crap.
Cool. Thanks B.
Is it true that you are really DG?
Still, too many Holdens (compared to Australian Fords). Woefully under-represented in the FM series. We've had, what... the two Supercars and the XB? So many more classics. XY, XC Cobra, BA/BF GTs (and XR series)... would be amazing to have them in.
Because everyone knows Holden is better than Ford
Holden has had more victories at Bathurst than anyone else. As such, an A9X Holden Torana and Mount Panorama DLC would be fitting... ha!
Although, I would kill for an XY GTHO Falcon GT
Hopefully this is a world tour which includes the ascension of a mount to get a nice panorama, going back to an hell made of green, waiting at a bus-stop while drinking some red water, going back to a nice place to eat some rillettes, buying some French mustard, staying in the lovely English town that is Swanley among other things... If you know what I mean...
Everyone would! IMO there are cars that are somewhat similar to the A9X already (well, not THAT similar, but maybe you know what I mean) but there really is nothing like this:Because everyone knows Holden is better than Ford

If T10 could get that shaker independent of the hood... oh man, would be epic.
Fastest four-door production car in the world, my friend. Not many Holdens can lay that claim.
I've just this second returned from seeing a mate's new toy, a 1992 1.9 GTI which he just bought from the original lady owner, 42k miles, mint condition. He stole it off her for £1,500. I think they fetch around £5k on Pistonheads.
What a brilliant little car.
(He also owns a Caterham, the bastard)

Does anyone use the Kinect head tracking feature? Any review to share?
I'm thinking about getting one, but I notice that I pretty much only move my eyes when driving, so if it requires large motions of the head I don't know if it'd be useful.

Borrow one first if you can, the head tracking was sloppy on my setup.
It's possibly to fine tune it but I never got it working properly.
If you are using a monitor/small TV or are loaded, try a triple screen setup, now they are awesome.

I have a Kinect and have used the head tracking. As long as you take the time to actually set it up and tune the settings it works really well. I don't use it all the time, mainly because it is a little hard to get used to. In a car it is different because of how much you can see and with the tv it just feels a little "odd." It works brilliantly, it just takes me a while to really get used to it. The best thing about Kinect are the voice shortcuts. Being able to instantly get pretty much anywhere in the game with voice commands is really nice. No backing thru menus and all that, you can just straight to almost any part of the game.
And I am really surprised by T10 taking so long to announce this DLC. Usually they are giving away codes already and we don't even know the list yet. Just seems a little odd that they are playing this one so close to the chest.
Unless there was some weird embargo thing that was lifted June 1st? Maybe some exclusive deal on a car expired/started today? I dunno, just throwing out ideas.
I've tried it and it really was a huge let down. Definitely a cool feature, but not something for racing all the time. The turning of the head isn't so bad if you are 7-8 ft away from the TV and it actually works okay with looking where you need to. The problem with it all though is that it is really laggy. So you turn your head towards the apex and a half second later the view flies across and you are looking at the apex. Then you exit the turn and you are still looking off the side. So the technology is really neat, but it is not smooth enough to be practical for racing all time with it. I did mess around with the settings too and changed my position relative to the sensor to see if it would improve and my story from above is the best case scenario of adjusting these variables. I'd say hold off for FM5 and Kinnect 2. I'd say it is more gimmicky at this point than anything. If you try it out a friends house first I'm confident you will change your mind.

Hmm, that lag would definitely annoy me. I thought it was like 1:1. Guess I'll have to try it first.
I just suddenly realised what my most wanted feature for FM5 is: the ability to set the number of laps in single-player career races.
These silly 2-lap races in the Porsche events are REALLY starting to piss me off. Why can't I easily convert them to 10-lappers if I want to? I'd get a hell of a lot more out of the game this way.
It's, what, a couple of lines of code with absolutely NO downside that I can think of.

Kind of a detailed questions but with the Boxster and Cayman on Laguna Seca, under hard braking into turn 2 after the fast run through turn 1, both of these cars violently oversteer unless I am pointed absolutely straight. Is anyone else seeing this? These cars can't possibly behave this way in real life.
BrokenSymmetry
Member
Agreed. It's the same silly restrictions as in the free play quick races, where you can't set the number of laps or the AI difficulty. Such small things that would increase my enjoyment immensely.

Might be there to stop players making easy money by hiring a CPU driver to do long races.

Ban the CPU. Don't care. Just let me drive longer races damnit!

That's been what I am wondering. Since this is the first of the month (and halfway into the year), I am curious if there was some kind of exclusivity deal going on.
Wonder if it's a Porsche/Ruf thing...

Yeah, Australia. Haha.
Some nights a miracle happens and you can get in there and delete everything easily, but 90% of the time it just dies and boots me back to the main menu. Ridiculously frustrating.
Wish they'd give you the option to manage Photos on the website, as it loads perfectly.

Same here. They've been absolutely killing it with FM4 car DLC, and this pack is right near the top, largely on the strength of the C6.R 'Vette. The ALMS GT field is now complete.
Tuesday is too far away. Whose ass do I have to kiss to get an early code?
haha every comment is track pack please

I'm reading this as two completely separate events, correct? Meaning there's possibly news about Forza Horizon AS WELL as additional news regarding Forza 4?!
