Yep, I redid that challenge several times, in different camera views (cockpit and third-person primarily). The tunnel section in particular was absolutely thrilling.
Awesome, thanks. Will begin tinkering this weekend.
My backup plan was to copy the setup from the first Ferrari they give you as that thing handles like a dream.
Did anyone else just cut left across the grass until you hit the highway? Turn right and it's about a mile and a half of straight speed. Hitting 140 was not really an issue...

I think I just used the P1 in bucket list challenge. That hellion was too goddamned fast for me. I nearly gave myself an ulcer on a straightaway.

So I redeemed my Forza rewards like five hours ago and nothing has transferred over. What's up with that?
by the way, I am Tier 7 now, and I guess I am not alone.
what is the extra gifts that Tier 7 has above (lowly) Tier 6?
helios? badned? not determined yet?
I think I'm almost there too.

Forza Rewards have begun to roll out for #ForzaHorizon2 Once redeemed, it can take time to appear in game. More here: http://bit.ly/1E1nlFx

I went totally flying in a race earlier.

After I restarted the race it happened to 2 cars in front of me, that's one pesky bush!

I had a better run, but for some odd reason the game thought this was the best run for the clip.
maybe because Jeff was in the clip too?

Oh sweet, good find. That link describes the exact Forza Rewards delays people have been experiencing.
Come on GAF, our rank in the club leaderboards is pathetic.
We need to get our weight up.
Giant Bomb and Reddit beating us out
even other clubs with similar members passed Neogaf. Lets get it.
I'm at work
If you had VIP last time around, you may get a discount. They've done that with games like Killer Instinct recently.
I see thanks. I was kinda miffed that there wasn't any LE offered with the game, so seeing the VIP offered as a discount, even though I was ready to pay the full amount, came as a welcomed surprise.
After I arrived home to the game on my doorstep, I excitedly went to install it to play later. Unfortunately, I hadn't tried a disc yet on the Xbox One I purchased a month ago. If I had, I could have discovered sooner that the disc drive doesn't read discs
And yes, I did try a different blu ray disc and fully power cycled the console as the xbox support page recommends.
This sucks, I really wanted to play this

Anyone else with VIP still not getting 2x XP and credits on races? I'm getting it on the wheel spins but that's it.

So I've just completed the Horizon Finale and I'd like to indulge a few thoughts.
Content/Endgame
The game is absolutely teeming with content and explorability. After completing the game I'm still only on around 250/315 roads discovered and around 18% complete, and that's with a lot of exploring, collecting boards, promo shots, and bucket list cars between most games. I also completed the game using around 25 cars, meaning there's a shitload left over. I've even only got 5/10 barn finds for christ's sake.
Once you've completed the game, Ben hands the honours over to you, and you're allowed to decide the direction your road trips go in, which will be pretty cool.
The Finale Itself
Absolutely fantastic. I'll spoiler it in case anyone wants to preserve themselves.
You also get 1,000,000 CR minimum from the finale if you win, so if anyone wants to blow some cash, don't worry about trying to get it back.
The game itself in general, I have to give a complete 10/10. The atmosphere is perfect, just essentially "me and me m8s" driving around and enjoying yourselves, no dramatic story or anything to follow besides the occasional quip from Ben about the car you choose. Weather is fantastic, graphics are fantastic, tuning being back is fantastic, I love it. PG have outdone themselves, and I hope the sales reflect that because they better give us a Horizon 3 after this.
TL;DR: I've played for around 10 hours total and I've only got 17% completion, let that sink in. Just from quick calculations, that means around 60 hours of playtime for 100% and that's only single player.

The Finale Itself
Absolutely fantastic. I'll spoiler it in case anyone wants to preserve themselves.
The race starts at the main festival, circles the entire map through its fastest, curviest roads, following the coast and cutting directly through the centre of the map. It took me an entire 15 minutes to complete it in a stock Huracan (which I bought and used just for the Finale for closure)

Sorry this happened.
Call MS support. Mine did the same thing at launch and they gave me 2 free digital downloads.
This is bullshit. Never buying a turn 10 VIP pass again. Their language is fucking deceptive

I exchanged my free Destiny for Horizon 2 today - didn't realize it came with such a bizarre selection of launch day goodies:
Horizon branded shirt, USB key, and USB car charger. I guess it goes with the keychain from Forza 3.
Now I just have to wait for my One to actually arrive.

That train race is damn fun, especially when the final straight you are pushing for a photo finish. Great stuff.

That was certainly fun.

Does that stuff come with every retail copy?

Because as far as MS is concerned, I'm American, lol.

I knew the deal going in, so maybe that's the difference, but it doesn't seem bad to me. Forza 5 was the same way; although there wasn't a spin mechanism (35K vs 70K).
I think 2xCR for every race would be too big of an advantage.

No idea, I hadn't really been following anything. I picked it up at a Microsoft store as that's where my copy of Destiny came from, maybe it's specific to them.
Apparently there was also a $10 code and a preorder car I missed out on.

Cheers, I'll go back to expecting nothing again.
I don't know for sure, but I think that race is rigged in the player's favor lol

Joined the GAF club, apologies in advance for my drivatar, it's kind of a jerk I hear.
by the way, I am Tier 7 now, and I guess I am not alone.

2.1 million credits instead of 1.5 million for tier 6.

Yes. It takes a while to be gifted. It's usually within 24 hours but sometimes longer.
