Forza Motorsport 7: #Forzathon

[GTvsForza]

Setting up a dozen otherwise pointless mini races isn't my idea of fun.

But no, it isn't hard.

I try to be creative. I take inspiration from GT6's old Seasonal Events.

 

[TonyJZX]

I think realistically most of us just want the cash and the cars that are either impossible to get normally ie. FE cars or they are a heap of money otherwise obtained by grinding.

eg.that Mercedes 300SL race 722 sterling moss edition.

A "race" to me a 2 car single lap on the test airfield.

I dont feel they are like the GT6 seasonal events... : it certainly does not provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different cars.

 

[GTvsForza]

I never said the Forzathons were like the GT6 Seasonals, I just try to make them feel more challenging. For example, I would do Beginner, Intermediate and Expert style races with increase in difficulty.

There was one time where I did my own Rain Masters.

 

[Htsaeteurn]

[GTvsForza]

I already have the Pit Crew gear, but that i8 I'll gladly take

And I just noticed the Grey Daze event right after I talked about my Rain Masters recreation

 

[urmie]

One of the events has you driving the 2014 Golf R, if you check the sideskirts upgrade, it's a light bar. Thought that was odd.

 

[GTvsForza]

It's one of the few cars that can be a pace car.

 

[CSLACR]

But is it that hard to call it accessories or something besides side skirts?

And why are extra spare tires even an option in FM?
Is that a real thing, or just a lazy copy/paste from FH, where it makes some kind of sense?

 

[GTvsForza]

Got the 22B and just noticed that I had the Brat FE that also has a bonus for rain racing. Should've used that...

 

[ImaRobot]

Really disappointed that the 22B doesn't have a RWD swap.

 

[vinz7531]

Really disappointed that the 22B doesn't have a RWD swap.

RWD is not quite in the DNA of Subaru WRX, I think.

But it could be interesting. I tried to "replicate" Murcielago R-SV from a reventon. It's quite fun (RWD, 1.3 ton, lot of aero, hardened suspensions)

 

[Populuxe]

RWD is not quite in the DNA of Subaru WRX, I think.

Well, no, RWD isn't in the DNA of a lot of cars in the game and yet almost all of them can get it. Except the 22B for some reason.

Doesn't matter. I'm fairly certain almost every single car in the game is allowed to be swapped to RWD, and even the base one is.

With the new update, there's a forzathon about the Experimental Drag Racing

Intro to Experimental Drag Racing
-Complete a Experimental Drag Race
-Complete 2 Experimental Drag Races
Reward: 180,000 CR

 

[TonyJZX]

3 laps of the Ring which is 70km in the rain is a bit offputting... I already have this car so I dunno... do I bother?

 

[SoapBoxRacer]

You don't need to race on Nordschleife, GP Circuit will do just fine.

 

[TokoTurismo]

You don't need to race on Nordschleife, GP Circuit will do just fine.

Plus it counts, because it takes place at "Nurburgring".

 

[ImaRobot]

3 laps of the Ring which is 70km in the rain is a bit offputting... I already have this car so I dunno... do I bother?

Like mentioned, any variant of Nurburgring with rain will work. I was just about to jump into a 3 lap rivals when I decided I'll just try out the GP circuit. Saved me a load of time!

Not very creative, but like the money.

 

[Nielsen]

Good to see Forzathon shaping up lately with plenty of different challenges and prizes. It really brings some welcome incentives to play.

 

[Htsaeteurn]

[Nielsen]

It's odd there's no difference between the requirements to "complete and "win". The game doesn't distinguish between the two when driving a race against yourself.

 

[TonyJZX]

I dont think there's a difference between a "race" and a "hot lap"... you can knock out timing events as part of your 'race' requirements,

 

[AlienDeathRay]

Next weeks Forzathon Challenges are viewable. 105,000 CR - 1999 Dodge Viper ACR - Crook Driver Gear. I am SO stoked for the Crook Driver Gear! It's one I need and one of my favorites!!! Yay!

I'm not sure if I can do next week's Forzathon especially when Horizon 4 is near the corner and I'll spend most of my time on it.

I'm not sure if I can do next week's Forzathon especially when Horizon 4 is near the corner and I'll spend most of my time on it.

Even with FH4 out in just a few days, I'll still make time to complete the Forzathons in FM7 and FH3. I'll also run a race in Leagues every week and any bounty hunters that come up. But it's just going to be "maintenance" racing for lack of a better word. Run the things that give out actual rewards. Spend the rest of my time in Britain.

 

[AlienDeathRay]

I gotta commend your dedication @Populuxe Cowboy ! You're the only one here who's logged more time on this game than I,( that I am aware of ). With that being said, I am hoping to surpass Driver level 2000 later this week, and maybe to 125 Million CR.

Driver level 2000? Where do you see this? At some point my level turned into a star, but I don't remember seeing any climbing levels after that.

Go to the Achievements Tab, once there look on the left hand side, you'll see: Achievements and Stats. Highlight Stats and you will see Time Played, Collector Tier, Driver Level, and Cars Owned.
