This is the discussion thread for a recent post on GTPlanet:

March's Forzathon Events to Offer Sesto Elemento, Merc 300 SEL 6.3 & Continental Supersports
Next month Forzathon events will be offering some familiar exotics from the Forza Motorsport series...

Really looking forward to these months Forzathon. And if they're basically giving these cars away for free, I really can't wait to see what this months DLC will be

 

[breyzipp]

For sure one of the best months. That Bentley is already in the base game though.

Other interesting cars besides the SEL and Sesto are the A45 HE & Silvia HE, those were not yet available previously.

 

[Silver Arrows]

yeahhhhhh 300 SEL son!

Pretty sure the only Bentleys currently in the game are the Continental GT Speed, Bentayga (DLC) and Speed 6 Concept (DLC)

Aah yeah my bad, got it mixed up with the GT Speed

 

[bremics]

Sesto Elemento returns?!
*squee noises*

And the Continental GT3 race car too, don't forget. 👍

So, with a bunch of 360-era cars returning for free via Forzathon, I guess my main question is this:

How long will this continue? Was it put in motion because of the leak, or can we really expect a few returning favourites every month?

If it's the latter, huge props to Playground and T10. It's an about-face from the shrewd DLC plan found in FM5 and the early days of FH2.

Tomorrow's challenges:


#Forzathon Scratch Race
Complete an Online Race to win the Jaguar XJ220 HE

#Forzathon Bump and Run

To the bolded, absolutely. Considering it blew wide open their DLC plans they held secret, it forced them really to burn through what cars they had, and maybe change a few things.

Ach. Looks like I'll be missing the Bentley event. Does anybody here have a second account and no need for two Contis and/or is simply not interested in the car?

I'll probably auction my Bentley off when I get it (I already have the GT3). Shoot me a reminder on Forzathon day and I'll put it up for sale.

 

[HarlemG27]

Are we able to buy these in the auction house at a later date?

 

[Silver Arrows]

Mhm.

Any car obtained in-game can be sold (or bought) on the Auction House afterward.

Except if you don't have the dlc for it.

 

[Ryan81]

Ok I'm a bit confused...Apparently today Forzathon begins and I want to get that Bentley yet it's all locked and when I click on Online Adventure it tells me I need Xbox Live Gold yet I obtained the Lola T70 last month without having Gold. What's the situation??

 

[PJTierney]

Today's Forzathon was quite easy for me, got them all done in 20 minutes.

For Drift Taps, you need a car from the GT category (not a GT3 race car). I recommend plenty of power + AWD. Look up any of the old Drift Tap exploit videos to see how to do one, but bear in mind that there is a 30 second cooldown before you can do a second Drift Tap.

 

[Dresden]

The 6.8 Merc was the best car ever.

In Pcars 1.

 

[GTvsForza]

So is the next Forzathon the Sesto?

 

[breyzipp]

no

 

[GTvsForza]

Ok, it's two weeks away.

 

[VXR]

Oh shoot, I hope the Forzathon is still open this afternoon. Forgot all about the Merc.

#Forzathon events typically open and close at around 08.00.



The next set isn't until Friday, no Tuesday challenges this week:

 

[FT-1]

Looks like the Silvia HE is going to cost a pretty penny in the Auction House, I've only ever accumulated barrel roll skills from luck rather than intending to do so.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Will the Silvia HE be an S13, S14 or S15?

 

[Silver Arrows]

Will the Silvia HE be an S13, S14 or S15?

From the looks of the icon in the Forzathon banner, S15

This might help getting it...

EDIT: And this...

 

[VXR]

I get a Merc for 300k. I missed two at just 19k and one at 50k, but ho hum, I didn't have all day to scan the AH.
