Let's do that shit!
did someone say 1000 horsepower?

S 799
875hp
Giving it race tiers and going full weight reduction puts it in the low R class.
Going to test drive now......

Just for added insult, we should keep the cars FF.

Did you swap the engine? I put in the 3.7L V6 - VVT with twin turbo aspiration and all the engine upgrades got it up to 875hp. With AWD it was A699. I don't mind going whole hog and having the class max at R900.

Hmm, not sure what you mean. I was just trying to make it to the pit. Needed fuel and such. Those F1 cars are some tricky bitches to handle. I'm just sayin......tricky fucking car.....plus there was a smoke cloud YOU created. So, basically, you caused Short a hazard that led to his demise.
You ought to apologize to Short.

You hit Shortt first, he then created the smoke cloud. But your recklessness and refusal to pull over to the side of the track caused both accidents!
You don't own the road Sir!
I might have digital whiplash!
Whomever can recite the incident is usually the one who planned it all out. I swear on a 2002 Camaro I was just trying to make it to the pit. Needed a drink and a change of tires.
Disgusting what you're trying to accuse me of. I even tried to maneuver out the way. :-/
Just reveiew the whole race. Innocent, I am.

That was awesome dude. Passing them on the straight like they were standing still. Nice touch of ending the video with that sweet drift pass. Sunday is going to be awesome.
And just to clear my own name. This is me exiting pit lane,
for the third time

Ahh, fair enough. It must have been the guy in front of you bc you pass me right after I was slammed.

It's all good Big Perm.. I mean, Big Worm.
Man....that A.I. is something else. Did you see that white car just creepin around pit lane? Goodness. Can't keep a clean lap because of the damn cpu. Damn shame. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure Short was giggling the entire race. Better investigate thoroughly.
The white car on the video there might have been me after a crash.

Some classic 1976 Formula 1 the other day; I was inspired by the awesome Rush movie:

Keep going......
My attorney has advised me to not make any further comments.

This is the end
Max Car Class R900
Car: Fiat Abarth 500
Mandatory Upgrades:
Engine Swap: 3.7L V6 VVT
Aspiration Convertion: Twin Turbo
Engine: Everyting upgraded to race level. Should be 875HP
Platform and Handling: Full weight reduction and full roll cage (Drivatars have to be safe)
Plenty of wiggle room to do anything else you want to max it out, which I think is R841.
Track:
Alps Club Circuit - 20 laps
Damage will be on for this race!
This is the last week for this season. We'll take a short break and come back with shorter seasons, like 4 weeks each.

did they ever fix the abarth endo?
New Xbox One and Forza 5 owner! Forza is installing right now but it's sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sloooooooooooooooooow. It's insanely slow. At least it's possible to play a bit while it's installing. I'm having a hard time controlling my starter car after not playing sims games for a while lol.
Spoiler - you're not really in control for the first few races. All the assists are in full effect and guiding you.
lol but 100% true! I remember my frustration until the first set of tracks were done
jet1911, enjoy the ride(s)
on another note, June 1st I have a friend's wedding, so I guess I wont be making our Sunday's (June1) race.
I'm pretty sure I turned off the assists. I think. Maybe...
Seriously, it won't allow you to make any changes to the setup until you finish the first few races. I wanna say it was like five straight races of hell.

Im pretty sure it was just the first.

You do have the opportunity after the first race of hand-holding
Son of a bitch, you mean i could have fixed that shit? Fuck, i feel so stupid right now.

Dumb question.
Even though I didn't have an Xbox One I still went on forzamotorsport.net to redeem my Forza Rewards in case I bought Forza 5 eventually. According to the website I'm supposed to have 1.41 millions credits in bank but in the game I only have the credits that I won by racing. Normal? How do I add those credits? Thanks!

How many days have you been playing Forza 5? I think they should come in eventually— they'll show up in your in-game inbox and you have to notice the '(Y) Download' prompt in low contrast text on the bottom of the screen, and press it before you notice and press the '(X) Delete' prompt next to it.
Anyone else still enthralled by the nextgen UI & feature decisions on the XBox One and its games (FM5)? Parts of it are a step forward, some are merely to the side, but many are backwards with respect to the 360.
Nice, thanks!

That Fiat video lol.
Have we heard anything about the new cars yet?

You only have 30 days after redeeming the reward on the website to retrieve it ingame. After that time period the money expires.
Shortt Sirket

I am not sure that is completely true. I got all the rewards redeemed months before I bought F5 and they all showed up. It took a little bit, but I ended up with like $10Mil when I first started playing.
(a dramatic recreation of said conversation with attorney)
After reviewing the video evidence, i claim my innocence.
( same event in the race that zorbsie linked before )
That's kind of my thing, i did a similar piece for Forza 3

So Thomas from Fanatec apparently hasn't developed a crack habit.
Remember all those ridiculously priced rims, well the price was mainly do to this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jsiv-RUX46o
Its a universal hub adapter that lets you mount almost any wheel to your clubsport base
Its $250
and all those rims they were showing off will only be $100 each without having to buy the adapter.
It makes so much more sense now.

New car pack out. Is this the last of the season pass or the first of the two additional ones?
I'm not sure if it's suggesting we'll be getting a new track in game too or a real life track in co-op with Forza:

So, how about an entire MX5 Cup season next Zorbs? One long race each week in the Miata Cup car for like 4 or 5 weeks?
That's referring to a real life collaboration between ourselves and the Bondurant school of motoring.
Oh, and this is the first of the two additional packs that car pass owners are getting at no extra cost.
