But that ruins ForzaGAF!!! It's not the same without having to pass through the press every lap, ask soundscream...
Up on UK/Euro store too (& bought, obviously)

I am still sad all the cars from the 2016 season. I mean, I understand why, it just sort of sucks. I really wanted some classic NASCAR cars.
Like I said on Sunday, I feel like that is the story of Forza lately. They always have these really cool and interesting ideas that they only seem to implement part way. It is just weird because this is easily the best Forza and yet I am not nearly as into it as I have been with the older games.

From what i gathered from the Content Update Helios posted the new race modes are also added to forza regardless if you have the NASCAR expansion pack or not

DLC Classics and Trucks i reckon, Season pass was worthless for me.

What's annoying is the best car packs have arrived after the season pass ended.
Anyway, games updating now. Hopefully there's an option for the new stuff in the base career mode.
I wonder if T10's budget is being trimmed, or at least scrutinised more than the 360 era - cutting out all the licensed music in exchange for soundbed stuff (both ingame & the DLC trailers) is a pretty major cost cut.

Are rolling starts in for Rivals too? Would save a lot of time on the Nordschleife.

We I'll be, the Drivatars didn't actually throw a shit-fit in the opening race. I was fully expecting to be pinballing the whole way around, and who knows how long it'll last, but for now I'm enjoying their newfound manners while running in a pack. The proximity arrows are quite helpful, too, if a bit hard to see.
Can't say I'm too keen on the 'NASCAR vs the world' concept of the career, but without some combination of more tracks from the series and a more sophisticated physics model to better capture the intricacies of stock-car racing, I can see why they've gone for this instead of something more authentic.
In keeping with the tone of this franchise, there's an decent amount of dumb fun to be had, so I can't complain too much. The production values are aces, too, (also a longstanding Forza tradition).
Unfortunately not, although you can in Free Play and running solo laps is pretty much the same thing.

Ok, thanks! Unlike in Rivals I can't keep lapping forever in free play, but that's fine, already an improvement like this now.

Details of our latest Content Update here too - http://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/fm6_may_cu
Some really nice additions that I'm sure some of you will enjoy.
Hey Helios, I seem to have encountered a bug since the content update. Video of my problem:
http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/XBL GHG/video/17605282
Basically the game is no longer allowing me to proceed with cars that are under the performance limit by greater than the recommended allowance. The only way I can proceed with the races is if I upgrade the car accordingly which I'd rather not do as I prefer to race using cars in stock form where possible.
Any chance this can be looked into or is there something I can do on my side?
Apart from that, great update. Forced pit stops are a nice addition. All that's left is for a qualifying option to be added now
.Homestead is beautiful, especially in the rain:
Great additions in terms of gameplay as well. I just wish they would copy and past the whole multiplayer rule book in free play and let us choose the Drivatar cars, it would be perfect !
BYW, I called Homestead back in January !

My sentiments ecactly!
First thing I noticed. Hopefully they'll patch the other cars that need it.JackAubrey

Haven't bought the NASCAR DLC - first content for the game I haven't got. I'm just not into NASCAR.
But the content update is really good. I've been having fun playing WTC events with mandatory pitstops. I like the drafting rumbled they've added. Rolling starts are worth using occasionally and it makes sense they've divorced wear from damage. Hopefully all this stuff will be in FM7 from the start.
One thing they need to add is each car should show you on the store/my cars screen which series it is counted as for quick race options. While some are obvious, others really are not.

Not in terms of properly representing certain aspects of motorsports.
Forza lets you race NASCAR in the wet so G Rom can do his thing.

They can, they just don't because it would be stupid and deadly on ovals.
Forza also does nothing to emulate the regulations of these various series they have. Just cool cars on cool tracks.

Had a crazy big spin out around an oval. The roof areo popped up. I guess that only happens when things go terribly wrong.
Just like the Porsche expansion, a lot of work seems to have gone into this expansion. Enjoying the career. Great stuff.
I am impressed by how much mechanical grip these cars have! I was not expecting them to behave the way they do on road courses.

Excuse my stupidity but how do i activate rolling starts in normal career or are they locked to Nascar and/or freeplay?
Fox Mulder

Porsche is great content that I wish was available to them regularly. Plus we got packs with Senna's McLaren and Prost's Ferrari.
I bought this NASCAR expansion, but it really only adds three cars with a bunch of liveries and one track.

Gutted. Looking forward to getting Nascar once i'm through my backlog. Cheers for the reply.

Bought the NASCAR update yesterday, enjoying it so far! I like the new pit requirements, changes things up a little. Being from Norway I'm not very familiar with NASCAR racing though, luckily this update lets me drive them around all the other tracks and not just the ovals!
Is NASCAR a typical southern state thing in the US? Any fans of the sport here, who's tried the Forza DLC?

Thanks for the feedback GHG, have passed this to our team for investigation.
I'm having this issue as well since the update, screenshots and game clips aren't sharing. I can go to the game hub page and see that other people have taken clips and screenshots with Nascar content though, so it must be an isolated issue. When I browse the game dvr app, I can see the clips there, but none of them have titles of the game they're from. I've tried a full cold boot and the issue still persists.
Posted on twitter to Jub3, and someone mentioned that it was widespread. Wouldn't be so bad if the Forza share images weren't compressed jpgs. Hopefully they know about it and are trying to fix it.

It's good to know that I'm not alone with this problem.
Agreed. Knowing that the pics taken can never be shared make this hurt even more.

I know how you feel. I just created a thread to bring more attention to the shortcomings of the current system in the hope that it'll one day be fixed.
