Yea this is how im breaking it up

Besides adding where to find all the GAF liveries (gamertag of uploader/where to download from), I'd say you got it perfect.

Any chance to be able to view leaderboards on the web and not just on the 360? Would be neat if we'd be able to create a GAF group to track times.

Or better yet, a way to create group competitions. Like weekly time trials with car A and track X. Che, keep that in mind for Forza 4. :D

Web leaderboards will be very configurable and should be quite powerful, although I'm not sure you can create and save groups.

That's a feature that I've wanted for ages. Maybe we can pull something off with a dummy silver account.

Agreed, driving was off in that video, but we're going to use him to do track guides for all tracks in the game and host it on FM.net... except we're going to find other folks to do the actual driving. :lol

That is all. Super excited about playing the game, super excited about getting my wheel. Haven't been this hyped for a game in a long while.

I'm hoping to get mine on it when I get my wheel. Sadly she sucks at racing games with the controller, but I reckon she'll do alright with a wheel.

Yea, it's just seriously weird for me when my wife asks if she can play the "racing game" heh. Like a whole new world, but yea she says, "I could do a whole lot better with a wheel." I might be in trouble.

My excuse for ordering the fanatec is that it's cheaper than a clutch and my wife can use it to get the coordination of shifting down. (She can't drive a manual and I refuse to own anything that isn't for my own personal car.)
That's the ticket!!

hey, i did a few nice liveries in fm2, that Strider Hiryu car for example...that doesn't warrant me an early copy, does it ? :/
I promise i'm still getting the LCE when the game comes out.

In the final game, you can watch replays off the top 100 scoreboard times AND race their ghosts. So I guess you can see how daveyskills does it. And export that video for all to see. :D

Damn that's so awesome.
Been playing Forza 2 this week to set some lap times, and everytime it's a big WTF? How the hell did he do that! when you see the leaderbords :lol

You can watch the top replays/ghosts in Forza2 too, I remember watching daveyskills McLaren F1/Silverstone replay a while back and going :O

I think you can download the tuning they used too.

Come to think of it I also raced my brother's ghost and we're both wayyy down the list, so it's more than the top 100. Or is that just because he's on my friends list?

Yeah id did that to, but driving directly behind a ghost just gives a better feel which line somebody is using.

Is it me of is that photo of the nissan have the ingame lights and not the high poly ones? I have no complaint but it seems they removed the high poly swap for the final game? That or the game used to use it and they maybe ran out of processing power.

nah, that's the high poly home space model.

what i hear is not in the final game is the ability to take pics of the interiors, which makes you wonder why they went into such fine details (see, those 3d wires of yesterday's mazda) you'll NEVER be able to see.
I guess they had to cut that because they couldn't model every interior ?

As mentioned, the Brera and the 8C are in, as are the Mito and a '72 GTV I believe. The latter is a truly gorgeous car.

Argh, the 159 is missing again. They could've made the effort, since it shares about 70% of the parts / design with the Brera. :(

Anyway, thanks guys.

there was a rumor floating around and it was recently confirmed by the Che.
Yeah, kinda disappointing, but i won't miss it too much, I guess there are interiors they couldn't fully model because of time constraints and had to remove the feature.
