question for clutch users....
i just switched to trying to do this today and everything seemed fine, until i played career, specifically, p-class. I'm racing with an audi p class lemans prototype car and the fucker wont launch off the line using clutch. when the green light is signaled any gas i give the car results in a quick flash of rpm, then dies off suddenly to about zero. my only solution thus far is to immediately switch to 2nd gear, then back down to first WITHOUT the clutch, then i'm able to tear off the line... but as you can imagine, its a shitty way to start a race. is there something i'm doing wrong?

Sounds like some fun times were had. I don't know if I want to hear about the "chocolate" story though. Here are the standings after week 4. How were the cars this week? Should we keep them for next week too?

a suggestion...
how about a separate leader board for a time attack leading up to each event? would encourage people to race a fair amount before hand and allow those of us unlikely to make may events (eh hem) a chance to compete. maybe decide next race(s) and car(s) by monday and have sunday the deadline for times?

I've been pondering a rivals time trial type thing, as it was a popular event on another board I frequented during the forza 3 years.
yey driver level 50. good lord, career is quite a grind.
i wish you could build some sort of dynamic career mode which better suits the kind of career you wish to pursue. i found myself constantly getting frustrated by the circuits always being the shortened version - and never getting the actual full courses to enjoy. i figured this was due to having slower cars, but once I progressed to the Le Mans GT, and Le Mans Prototypes, it'd unlock the full courses in regular career mode. Wrong! Still the same fucking short courses. Then I decided to poke around the Bonus races in Prototype, and what was there for me? The full La Sarthe circuit to race on in Career mode. For once, I was properly enjoying myself, having a full proper circuit to race on. Why on earth couldn't more of the races been like this in career. If there was an option to turn off the chase/overtake events, the digital stig and top gear bowling events in career, I'd be much happier.
Also, I pray to whatever god we pray to that we get SOME sort of 'Ring related news in February.
Hear this call Turn10.

While the return of the seemingly randomly-generated career is incredibly disappointing to hear about, just thank your lucky stars that things can never get as bad as LMP cars on Positano Short. How utterly ridiculous that was.
Hasn't that original article been totally debunked now? Do we know if the 'Ring is even on the cards?

The career is boring, it's not even a career mode, just a never ending series of short races.
I play it because they force me to buy and use cars I'd never usually bother with but T10 really could do with looking at how career modes used to be done, said before Sega tacked on far better shit than this back with Super Monaco GP. Rivals, teams, points and the risk of losing your seat or promotion. Chuck in qualifying (almost impossible to win cleanly between the short race and shitty drivatars) incorporate the livery editor and it'd be perfect.

here's the crappy ipad pic i took of the second race results
also, thanks to the guy who mentioned the chocolate stuff when in Spa. I'm still eating here
Hellz ya man, rock that Cossie!
I'm a little confused by your problem, but you should just be bouncing off the rev limiter during the countdown and giving it full throttle off the line, getting the wheels to spin and keeping the car from bogging.
I've never understood the thinking behind short 2-3 lap races. You barely have a chance to get your tyres warm.
Edit: heard anything from Helios yet?
i'll try that. still, seems like a poor way to start.
i should be. i am with any other car i've used, but not the audi etron. i guess its a bug?

It happens with some of the more high powered cars, I have dealt with it in F4 also. Assume there is a reason why , but I don't know enough to speculate as to why.

Got the game. Really enjoying it. Decided to be a VIP. Got it but not the cars. Got some other gifted cars but not the ones in the VIP pack. What gives?
You still have to buy those cars with ingame credits. VIP just unlocks them in the store.

They were OK; I think we should run the 360CSes around some more (or some other tuneable-from-stock car).
Excellent! Join us for races.

That's not what it says. It says specifically - "VIP members receive 5 exclusive VIP cars"
Now maybe I'm being pedantic but received suggests you well, recieve them...that they're given to you. If they are simply unlocked then it should say so. Otherwise this is false advertising.
Also, they are there in the vanilla game.
Looks like I need to visit the help forums.
Edit: Just looked here Cheeky fuckers, you don't recieve them at all. You "rent" them! The info on the VIP dlc does not say these cars still need to be purchased and can only be "rented" in the meantime. That's pretty misleading. I guess this is a leftover of their shoddy launch monetization bullshit.

I think you're reading too much into it; this is the way it's worked in Forza long before you could purchase cars for your garage with real money instead of just play money. You, as a VIP, are able to purchase for your garage, with in-game currency (or real money if that's your thing) five cars that we, non-VIPs cannot, under any circumstances, drive.

Probably bodes well for FM6, seeing as how Horizon had a day/night cycle, making its inclusion in FM5 a sure thing.
Oh wait.
In all seriousness, Horizon being as good as it was made for a most pleasant surprise. Other than the map becoming too familiar too quickly, I'd be hard presses to fault the game, and I expect the folks at Playground to achieve great things in the sequel.

I think there's been a subtle shift over the past couple of years. I fully expect Horizon 2 to not only review better than FM5, but also outsell it. I truly believe that Forza Motorsport needs a complete overhaul for the next iteration. The same old formula with a few more tracks might not be enough to keep fan's interest and attract new players.

So the Ferrari California can have the roof down in ForzaVista.
Are there any other cars that can have the roofs down, I know its a small feature, but i really do enjoy ForzaVista.
i tested the Mercedes SLK doesnt work, and i dont have the cash to keep buying every convertible.

I enjoyed the driving and the longer point-to-point races, but the circuit races in Horizon were largely terrible.
I think you're right.
C3 Corvette can have the roof off.
EDIT: I'm out on Sunday, I have a charity board meeting at 2pm. Goddamn starving children.
