The best choice would be either Ferrari 250 GTO or Shelby Daytona, both are like 6 mil in game. I went with 250 GTO
Alan did an unboxing of the Thrustmaster TX

It is just for ingame dlc and stuff, isn't it? So what's there to look forward to about it?

So, for a game that's not supposed to have unicorns, why are there unicorns?
(e.g., '71 Mustang Mach 1, '95 Corvette ZR-1).

Is it? I honestly have no idea.

Is the TX actually worth £240 then?
And how do you get them (I'm thinking developers only at this point?). BTW does anybody happen to have a spare Audi R8 livery code for Forza 5? Never got the email and now that I have seen it ingame I want it really bad.

Not unicorns but access to them has been postponed for the moment. But don't worry, you will hear in the very near future how to get access to those 5 cars.

Interesting that there are both new Corvettes and a new Mustang conspicuously missing from the lineup. Seems like they are ripe for inclusion in a dlc pack along with these older models.Not unicorns but access to them has been postponed for the moment. But don't worry, you will hear in the very near future how to get access to those 5 cars.
Just speculation.

The five cars I'm speaking of are
2006 Audi #2 Audi Sport North America R8
1995 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 C4
1968 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 "Daytona"
1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1
2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series
Those cars are already in the game and not DLC, just access to them has been removed for the time being due to some changes prior to the games launch. But info on how to obtain them will be revealed very soon!
Challenges? I love challenges, needs more one time only challenges.
@Xanadu: Works every so often for me.

Those screenshots do sod all for the game lol. Without viewing the SL65 (awww yis!) I would have thought they was from FM4/Horizon.

Is the forza rewards website fixed yet? I'm still getting the "can't recognize your gamertag brah" message when I log in.
Ok, I suppose they screwed up then lol
I probably will sell the extras when the auction house is online
It works for me. Are you using this:
http://rewards.forzamotorsport.net/
And they seriously need to upgrade their website servers or something. I feel like it uses a PvP system sometimes ;P
auction house?
no don't think that's coming...marketplace will just be where you can buy dlc and such i believe
i wish you could at least sell the cars and parts back to the game.... come on t 10 that's ridiculous.
although if you go into forza vista and look at car specs, there is a plaque that shows current value which is half price of retail in game so there is hope that it will be possible some day

Forza update just released. 455 meg. Assuming it is the economy update and now everyone can afford a 1962 GTO.
Downloading it now so I'll let you know. Forza has annoyed me twice this week so I hope it's good:
1, I received 3 million credits, bought a few cars...and then realised the economy update hadn't been done yet. Money wasted
2, Two Lotus E21 cars...that look the same. Ace. Thanks....

Its the economy (update) stupid! lol
70K credits for leveling up as a VIP. Nice.

Downloaded the update right now. Not every car has been discounted though, mainly the more expensive ones from first glance.
Unrelated, but how fucking good does the '09 ZR1 sound in this game?!??!
I bought it the other day and fuck me, it is worth watching replays just to hear the sound of this thing. I haven't even upgraded it other than suspension-wise, it just sounds amazing.

Unfortunately no.
Which makes sense since those are the only ones you'd really have to work for at all.
Still, it sounds likes its now easier than ever(like better than FM3 and FM4) to get these rarer cars.
it wasnt hard at all before the update...
the new economy is non sense. shoveling more money in our arses and giving cars away cheaper. i don't like that casual path....
would be better if they'd give you every car for free. but you need a certain level to drive it.
lvl 150 for the e21 or audi r18
i can see internet folks burning t10 studios

TX is here! First steering wheel i've had since the official Dreamcast one for Crazy Taxi lol.
They really should turn on damage simulation for every hopper playlist. Maybe make it so when you hit someone with the front part damage is enabled and if you get hit in the back it's off. Something has to be done about all those rowdies. The "lead for x km" achievements aren't helping either. I had several races where the leader would just ram me into oblivion when I overtake.
Turning on damage does not actually help. People think it does or think it will, but in practice, it doesn't.
Hoppers were always the place with the most griefers and people with little idea of racing etiquette. Which is why its such a fucking tragedy they took out user-created public lobbies, because that's where the best online racing was to be had.
This is also the worst time for that kind of thing. Right after the game comes out and then after X-mas, you'll get a lot of new people jumping on and getting online without much skill or care about having a nice, clean race.
Do they have the special event hoppers still, at least? The production/stock hopper was typically the place to go for the cleanest racing in terms of matchmaking back in FM4.
I think I've seen you a few times, along with some others from GAF, though I don't remember all the names I've seen. I spend more time in rivals mode lately, I think I was racing against your time in Prague last night.
It really bums me out that they got rid of the clubs and custom lobbies, that was the most fun I had in forza 4.
I have played a few online matches and its not bad, as long as you're good enough to be near the top you end up nowhere near the bad drivers, I've been pretty happy with it so far.
So, so true.

Help guys!
TX doesn't appear to want to do anything. Only the guide button registers on the XB1 and under windows it does nothing even though its detected fine and drivers installed? Even clicking the specific force tests under the control panel does nothing?
