Damn, thats a pretty decent car pack for being free. I am pretty stoked to check out the Eau Rouge and the Roller!
Btw, whatever happened to that awesome old school Renault that the guys from Evo said was going to be in Forza?

There's a small trailer for both Infinity cars.
I wish we had that black room we can see during the trailer as a homespace, the Infinity looks great in it, so did the LaFerrari during the conference...

I'm waiting for someone here to confirm they are available before checking. They weren't a few minutes ago.

Seriously, I cannot wait for Horizon 2. The ForzaGAF club is going to be awesome and I can't wait for us to get some good games going on Sundays.

Curious for specific details on the wheel improvements...
Called it back in July! 
In September, Formula E, the world's first fully-electric racing series series kicks off in China.
How about we get a Forza 5 version of the car at the same time, T10?

Is it live is it? i can't find this free pack anywhere!
It'S free
Same.

wow! spades-adamus! well done mate 8)
btw, still cant find my rolls....
Agree but the single player is still miles ahead (pun intented) than any games on PC... Execpt maybe Grid A and eventually pCars. Time trials are fun but it gets boring quick.
Just ran a few races with the Formula E and it's GREAT! Very strange at first because of the engine sound (I missed a LOT of gear changes!) but it handles like a dream and is so stable on the brakes. It's a shame this came out after the FF as this would've made a much better championship car. Anyone else tried it?
Ah, didn't know that the Formula E had standard manual transmissions. Thought it would be more like a Tesla.

Yeah the gears threw me off.
Have to say I haven't felt a big difference in ffb, might be my imagination but the rumble may be different. Need to drive some cars I know well to make my mind up.

Another month, yet another amazing car pack. With Horizon 2 on the, uh, horizon, I have no idea if we've seen the end of DLC support for FM5, but it's totally transformed the game for the better. Major props to Turn 10 for the constant updates.
Yeah, it may sound like a dental appliance, but it's probably the sweetest-handling open-wheeler in the game. I only ran a handful of laps in the Rivals event at Long Beach but I was pleasantly surprised by how neutral and benign it was. Brakes seemed a tad easy to lock up, though, but that's probably just me.

Garret GT42R and running E-85. It was nice going to the track sunday and just stopping at the gas station and getting fuel for the car at only three dollars a gallon compared to the sixteen it would cost for race gas.
I still need to grab the new cars looking forward to trying out the formula e car.
so, even though the electric Formula-E and the prototype infinity eau rouge are very impressive,
I have to give it to Turn10 for this boy:
as far as I remember, this is the very first time in History that Rolls Royce is officially featured inside a racing game. so, -if I am not wrong- congrats!
my fatboy is beautiful, and starting at a modest C487, there's plenty of room there to go.
I still drive it stock though... 8)

Not really. I've been using the lower sensitivity for a while and gotten quite used to it. I've heard others saying it's smoother post patch.
PCARS is going to be interesting on Xbox One, curious how they are going to approach force feedback. Does Forza feel the way it does because T10 made it that way?
I'm down for that. Was going to post some stuff for the new series, but life got in the way. Hoping everything gets cleared up this week and I can get back to normal. I wanted to try out the new cars but they weren't live until later in the day and of course by then I didn't have any time. Sunday will be a good time and no one has to keep score.

Let's do it! Usual time, are you okay to set up a lobby Zorbsie?

Wish I could be there but I will be at GenCon literally all weekend.
Love the new cars btw. Took the Roller around The Ring and it was exactly how I imagined it would be. Lots of body roll with a TON of torque.
I have started taking the old (<70s) Grand Prix/Race cars around the Ring and it has been incredible. The 1953 Ferrari is one of the most amazing cars to drive in cockpit view. Everything is super cramped and it is WAAAYY faster than I was anticipating. Made for an incredible lap.

Congrats to Dead Poul for becoming the inaugural ForzaGAF Formula Ford champion! I think it's fair to say the best driver won.
Thanks everyone for taking part - over to Zorbs for the Mazda Cup.
Awesome. Couldn't have done it without FrontierUK. Grounded me with road America and really made me push myself there. And I did the same with him, constantly pushing himself to improve his consistency. I think he made every race, and I can't ask for much more out of a great team mate. Supportive, driven, and challenging. Great job mate.
Wait......there's a new Mustang and I'm in Chicago... .some five hours away from my Xbox. Life just doesn't love me

Probably, but that doesn't make driving that Roller around Nurburgring any less awesome!
BTW, WHAT DID YOU DO SPADES???
Hey guys... The Sun can be really dangerous sometimes hah

Has anyone actually ever played this game in multiplayer? The reason I ask is, I bought my Xbone 2 days ago. I bought forza and titanfall. My xbone is in my routers DMZ (so please don't tell me to forward my ports) and I have an open NAT. I can play titanfall fine with a 20ms ping. I can get all the drivatars and rivals constantly bombarding me while I play forza. However for 2 days off and on I cannot get into a single race lobby. Unable to join messages. This so frustrating. Worst of all I bought the game digital so I'm stuck with it.

Yeah I can't even make a private match. This is destroying my view of the xbone.

Time to introduce the new cars! They were a very pleasant surprise, RR wasn't expected until 2050 at least, and the new Mustang was already on the top of the "I can't wait for this new car to arrive" list.
Sorry for making x2 pics of the Mustang, but I couln't choose just 2

Really like the shots with the license plates Jorge, shame we can't have an optional blank plate for the front and rear. Something so simple adds a lot to the realistic look.
