Has anyone ever built a car that is RWD for offroading? I do like some 4WD rallying, but sometimes I like alittle challenge. Not trying to boast, just curious to know if anybody here has built one for rallying besides me.
However, stating the obvious here, AVOID driving them in winter season. It's not easy.
I'm planning to share these builds under the name "Dirt Spec" once I'm comfortable with them, and trust my cars to handle well for the people. I also have other builds if anyone wants to check out. It's not alot, but I'm still experimenting with each car I build.
Yep, I built an Escort RS1800 specifically for rallying, built for B class with about 220hp.

Actually used the Capri as well for some dirt racing with no AWD swap. Just make sure you use the proper tires.
Made an A-class rally tune with the Capri, putting out maybe 340hp? It's good fun.

The Ken Block Escort is pretty cool. Not big on the whole Monster Energy style, but it’s just cool to have a rally prepped Escort in the game.

Well it seems they gave the Hoonitruck a V8 sound. I hope the audio guy gets a serious talked to, this is just sad.

Interesting! I had the same Escort as you before bringing it to A-class. But in B-class, it's super enjoyable to throw that tail out in every corner on the dirt. 👍
Haha, same! 👍
Humph! It will never replace my Rally-spec Escort RS! lol

Hoonitruck paint bug.
If you paste the vinyl from the default design, the default paint pattern passes through the vinyl regardless of transparency.
This bug is more noticeable if you darken the color of the vinyl.

There is a house with a glitch that I find pretty funny. The house in the mountains on the north (forgetting the name) spawns the player in the driveway when you leave the house, but the gate at the end is always closed. So you need to ram your way on out of there to leave every time. 
In other news, I am looking forward to trying out that Ford Escort RS car pass car later. Looks fun.

I’ve had a thought for quite some time, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if many of members of the sound department (And from the Dev team in general) at PG and T10 aren’t ‘car guys’. For them it could be just another job, and they might not have the passion for cars, so they might not care exactly about the details.
I’d like to think that developers working on this game would have an interest, but I’m sure there’s only so many people working in the video game sound industry for them to chose from.

Anyone else think we are already alarmingly close to that 550 garage limit with the number of unique cars we have in the game?
After the month of November there are already 532 unique car models, that includes all FE cars, all VIP, JB & FD DLC, 16 of the car pass cars and 7 preorder car models. I already added the Hoonicorn 10 as well which will come later in November.
That is 18 (eighteen!) cars below the garage limit this early in the game’s life cycle. And we still have this to come:
* 26 more cars from the car pass
* probably 10-14 more cars from the 2 expansions (assuming each expansion brings 5-7 cars with it)
* probably a dozen or more returning cars from previous Forza games via the Forzathon shop.
* probably a couple of extra barn finds
* maybe a few promo cars (Pringles, Mountain Dew, ...)
I absolutely hated how FM6 got more unique cars than its garage could hold and FH4 is getting towards the cap even much faster. I really hope Microsoft/Turn10/PlayGround have plans to extend that garage limit.

Probably. You can also tell with higher redline cars that there are distinct steps in the sound, so when revving quickly, you don't hear a smooth increase in pitch but rather levels like ___----****---___ The BAC Mono is pretty bad about this, it sounds awful

Does anyone know why the Hoonitruck loses top end performance when you try and upgrade the turbos? I've had it with a few vehicles now and it seems bizarre that ramping up the horsepower to crazy high amounts would lower the top speed overall. I can understand the acceleration dropping because it can't put the power down as cleanly but even with added weight and without changing the gearing, going from 1,186bhp to 1,460bhp feels like it should keep the top end the same rather than reducing everything. It's not like the power band changes either.
EDIT: It was the gearing causing issues. I still don't get why upgrading the turbos would reduce the top end when the gearing doesn't change but editing the ratios seems to free up that extra performance.

Well, on the bright side of Hoonigan additions, I at least have new vehicles to farm skill points with.

Why wouldn't they be car guys? Maybe not some of the sound team since they're audio engineers first and foremost (although I wager all of them are), but the team at PG almost has to be car guys. Look at all the off-the-wall and unique cars Forza goes after to put into the game, only someone who has a passion for cars would even consider doing that.

While I agree for the most part, the REAL car guys are probably the ones making the decisions. The underlings are putting these cars in because they are told to do so, not because they CHOSE to, I would imagine there is not a lot of crossover in the gaming industry and car lovers.
There is probably more than we are giving credit for, but it's not enough to say that T10/PG office are full of car enthusiasts.

The crazy thing is that I've never been close to the max in any Forza game, yet on this one I think I'm already half way there and I haven't even bought that many vehicles myself.

So when creating blueprints, if you select the version that gives slower cars a head start, you can turn collisions off.
That's neat.
Even neater is setting that race up, only to find another player had full intention of ramming you off in turn 1, to watch him fly into the woods and promptly quit.
I won twice in one race.

Wheel spin and prize car (and Forzathon shop exclusives) system may be the cause.
Especially the latter is a bothersome system. Even if you feel unnecessary, there is no guarantee that you will get it again once you dispose of that car. Those who are indecisive like me will store a lot of prize in the garage.
My garage : 459/550

A question for the people who actually know how to drift. When drifting on dirt roads, is it better to use RWD or AWD? Street tires or dirt tires? I have a lot of trouble with the dirt drift zones. The biggest reason is I suck. But also, the allowable drifting area on dirt roads is a lot narrower than on paved roads, and that kills me.
