The surprise is that there is no surprise. Surprise.
That was a pretty good surprise. I never saw that coming.

You guys are troopers for watching that stream. That was unbearable to me after 5 minutes. 
No, it's coming, just not today. I think people got confused, cause Johniwanna said a treat was coming on RVM but it was actually just him dressing up for today's stream.
The actual surprise announcement was slated for this week, but not on Tuesday according to the article
So it looks like it'll be later this week.

Maybe it's backwards compatibility announced later this week with all the other games???
Maybe it's backwards compatibility announced later this week with all the other games???
There was a leaked list of all the games a week ago and F2-4 and FH were on it so maybe.
"We're proud to announce the return of Maple Valley, coming exclusively through backwards compatibility in Forza 4. Please understand"
But they're announcing all the BC games next week so that wouldn't make sense, considering the announcement is supposed to come later this week. Unless it gets delayed beyond that, then it could very well be FM2-FM4 + FH1 BC if you own FM6 or FH2 or something like that.

Hey guys. I picked up Forza 6 and I am having a serious issue with the wheel rotation with the controller. It has been an issue with Forza since they added cockpit view. When Im using a controller the wheel animation only turns 90 degrees ( maybe less) and its extremely off puting. Anyway I can change this without using a wheel? If not then Im trading this in.

No, aside from seeming like a crazy thing to focus on, can you switch to the hood view?
Also using a wheel doesn't change it.
Come on guys - it wouldn't be a Turn 10 announcement if it wasn't prick-teased for eons then delivered like a wet fart in a white suit. I'm STILL chuckling away at Wendl's strobing wink and pneumatic elbow when fielding questions about night and weather in the run up to FM3's release. "We aren't talking about those features just yet!!!11"

As one of those luddites who thinks the LM NISMO is trying to answer a question that no one asked, I was pleasantly surprised at how fun it is to drive in FM6. Lap times at Le Mans are spot-on, and the driving experience-- dancing right on the edge of traction through the corners, then digging out of them and bombing down the straights-- seems similarly faithful to the real thing, too.
Suprise!!! (not april the first is it?)

This. 100% this. I didn't see a price. Are these free? And is the Ford just a livery? Or did they actually tweek it?
Not the news I wanted to hear, but I will be in that Rocket for sure!

Chrysler thing is for FO4 players on Xbox.
Kinda sucks because I want it but I'm getting Fallout on PC.
TylerDurden4321

Thought the same, then I saw that the cockpit isn't a closed dome, it's open at the top... my enthusiasm dropped to "kinda cool" then.
Edit: Yes, definitely PC for Fallout 4. Maybe MS should offer a deal that you get the car as well, if you buy Fallout 4 in the Windows 10 store for PC.
Yeah I saw that too. Which is fine for me, but I can see some people missing out playing FO4 on another platform.
I'll bring it out for a race day you'll see it then.

Pretty cool. If they can do a fictional Fallout 4 vehicle, then no reason we can't have a Warthog.
lol

So Noobcraft was right after all! Warthog confirmed for next DLC pack.

I'm ok with this because of that car.

Fwiw, the Chrysler Rocket 69 is being given to players of Fallout 4. This jives with the way these promotions have been happening on XB1. So if you have a buddy that owns it or whatever...

I'd love more fictional vehicles. Gran Turismo does cool concept stuff with manufacturers, would love if forza did something beyond real cars.
I'm sorry but that is what they have been teasing?
Nobody will be disappointed.
I invented that meme. Got namechecked by The Beard in an interview, too.
I also wrote those French and Italian "translations": Game so good no sexy lady can divert etc.

I tried it now too. First 5 corners or so I thought it was a piece of garbage, then I got better at handling the car but additionally it also felt like the car handled better after a few turns (was it the tyre temperature? I didn't look at it). Then it was a lot of fun. a) because it's faaast and b) because it's feels like no other car in Forza, it feels really "wrong", but "accurately and believable wrong", just like you imagine a car with a weird drivetrain combination like the LM NISMO's should be. Longitudinal weight shifting all the fucking time, FWD understeer, then AWD neutrality and rigidity, insane boost pressure. Weird, fast fun.
Usually I think Turn 10 is a little lazy with fine details like e-diffs, torque vectoring, automatic adjusted diffuser downforce, variable split center differentials... those sorts of things. I also give Polyphony Digital more credit for at least caring more about these details, BUT... but this car feels spot-on and done with love for detail. Given how close the relationship between Nissan and PD is and how awesome and accurate the LM NISMO's handling in Forza feels, I can only hope that Nissan didn't just license it, but someone there also gave the car a spin in both games. It's almost as if Turn 10 wanted to stick it to those guys with an "FU, we can do that too!".
Now, please show us too and give us a Warthog with front and rear wheel steering
(and make sure the 991 Porsches have that too! Speed dependent, up to 3°, get going)
I knew spamming Helios with messages on XBL asking for the Warthog would pay off.

Nucking futs, the new Viper ACR is 1.2 seconds quicker than a 918 around Laguna Seca; I'll throw a shit-fit if this BAMF isn't in the December pack.

I think it's just anything from the historic muscle group minus Corvettes up to 600 PI.

Pick one car and tune it, you will have to be in the same car for all races in the series and use the same car for all time trials in the series. You can use different tunes for each race, but the car has to be the same.
To help pick your car here is a list of tracks we will be racing on during Series 2.
Bernes Alps - Stadsplatz Circuit
Sebring - Full Circuit
Road America - Full Circuit (No Communist Corner!)
Watkins Glen - Full Circuit
Race day schedule: We will have a 4 lap practice race with collisions off. You will try to get your best time in this race. The real race will use best lap times in ascending order for grid placement. Collisions will be always on, make sure to turn off sim damage on your end.
As always the lobby will be up at 3:00pm Eastern, but this series will happen on Sunday. The race should take 15 - 20 minutes to finish. After the race feel free to stick around and do more races with the group.
Can't make it on Sunday? Join in the fun by doing this weeks time trial. Post your best time on this weeks track before the race on Sunday to be included. Points will be given on time trials as well as the actual race.
Sunday race will be Bernes Alps - Stadsplatz Circuit
Don't forget that the car you use in time trial is the car you use on race day.
Who can join?
Anyone on GAF is more than welcome to join. Just picked up FM6? leave me your GT and I'll send you an invite on race day. Simple as that.
Looking forward to see what cars people pick. I don't have the car pass and I'm not sure if any of the DLC packs have cars that fit in to this category. So if I missed anything, just let me know.
Questions/Suggestions? I'm all ears.

To me it felt like front heavy AWD with the power ratio between front and back changing constantly.
God, I hope, I'm not wrong and it's not just a 75% front constant split center differential setting or some other cheating. I wouldn't be surprised though, the AWD of the Ferrari FF definitely doesn't feel like it's on and off automatically.
I noticed it because under power it just feels like a FWD, and also spinning the wheels only heats the fronts.
I'm not sure FM even simulates hybrid systems?

What Frontier said.
What are the thoughts in adding the new Holden? We already have the Ford Falcon XB, which was never sold in the States so I think we should allow the Holden.
TylerDurden4321

Ok, it felt very front heavy AWD yesterday on the Ring, I tested it now on the airfield with some exaggerated suspension settings to promote the rear under acceleration. I agree with you now, it's just a fucking FWD car with some weird (look at those values!!!) suspension settings and an insane amount of downforce.
Reading up on the LM NISMO it seems however that the car mostly is FWD only:

Edit:
But then what about the Capri and the King Cobra(or are the Forza versions V6 only?) ?
Since I don't have the DLC pack, DO IT! Makes sense to me and as long and it's not a huge advantage to using it, which I doubt there is, I'm cool with it. Besides I want to see it race.
