As long as I can find a way to keep my save, I don't mind deleting and re-installing the whole thing. It's the progress I don't really want to lose.

You can delete the game separate from your save files and add-ons, just use the little button on the right (menu button, with the three stripes), if it's the regular Xbox One we are talking, otherwise I don't know :scared:

I wonder if they will announce the big expansion tonight. If they wont, we propably wont see any expansion for Forza 7. PR focus will be FH4 from now on.

But i still remember E3 2014. They announced Nürburgring for FM5 back then and it was available the same day. I was sooo happy!
 
Congrats.

I got there in January and haven’t played Leagues since.

How busy are the Pinnacle Lobbies these days, back when I was playing you’d struggle to get 10+ opponents most nights.
Thanks. Lobbies are usually only about six cars give or take, but yesterday I was in a race with 23 cars. I'm going to continue to race at least once a week so I get the prize cars and suits. Also, some of the events can be a lot of fun, like the Major Micros event a couple weeks ago, or the GT Racing Reborn event last week.
 
I want to share this somewhere. I was doing the MX-5 Cup race--which is my favorite career series so far and quite fun with long races on pro--but the default livery was redundant. I downloaded PJTierney's stunning livery for the car, but a couple of the Driveatars were using it. So I tried my own design. It's very basic, but I decided to share it thinking no one would even see it. But a couple people have downloaded and used it. I'm surprised.

Anyway, here's a photo of my goofy first time shared livery. The "Salsa" came from a Jalopnik thread about a car with script "blessed" looked like "biscuit," and a following discussion of which foodstuffs to put on a car. As Seinfeld put it, "People like to say 'Salsa!'"

I've now topped out on Leagues play, and own all the cars that are available to buy. There are still 16 locked cars and several suits I'd like to get. So I will be scaling back my playing to just the minimum necessary to get any extra content I can. Still, that's actually quite a bit:
1. Forzathon
2. One League race a week
3. Bounty Hunters and other similar events
4. Watching the ForzaRC streams
5. Specialty Dealer
6. DLC
 

Huh. I hope that's not one of the two additional car packs coming to FM7 Car Pass holders, though. I'm sure the cars will be fun, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't think a broader-spectrum pack would be more appealing to me.

...

In the wake of all the FH4 goodness I'm back in FM7 to try to beat more of the game. I'm probably super-late finding this, but I'm doing the Ariel Nomad spec series right now and it's a hoot. I imagine this is what the car is like to drive. It's so easy to overwhelm those knobbly tires, so it's four-wheel drifting around every corner. I don't even have to be going fast to have fun with it.

I thought it might feel a little out of place in the Motorsports games, but this is way, way better than I thought it'd be.

Forza 7 Definitely has it's fun moments, I temporarily quit career mode and have been experimenting with different cars, divisions, and track setups on freeplay and you really can do a lot more in freeplay than I thought. I did a GTP and group 5 combo race and it was pretty damn awesome with some of those battles I went through.
 
Interesting discovery I just made: online lobbies will set the grids by fastest lap, by default. If you join a lobby while a race is going on, the game will register your laps in test drive mode while you wait for that race to end and place you accordingly on the grid for the next race.
 
@Populuxe Cowboy - Dude, thanks! I tuned in on Wednesday, and was disappointed it was a repeat of last week. No Prizes, bummer.
But now I have a whole bunch of reasons to be excited, (well, except for one, Spa Day, Bleh!!!) Thanks for the info, and pictures of the actual prizes is a big help, (along with the actual time!). Much appreciated!
 
So what does it mean by Viewer Rewards?
Watch the livestream at watch.forzarc.com. You will get the listed rewards for voting on polls, retweeting Forza tweets (you don't actually have to have a twitter account, just click on the retweet button), and for how many minutes you watch. Claim all the prizes while you are there, don't wait until it's over or you lose the prizes. It's actually pretty easy. You just have to show up.
 
I'll try to tune in, but I'm going to be out of town this weekend for a graduation party.

As for the game, online mode is kicking my butt with lag and the fact it's throwing me tracks I just either suck at or don't enjoy. If it's not Yas Marina with corner cutting knuckleheads, then it's VIR where I just fail at every turn pretty much. I can never get good at the VIR circuits, I always miss the braking point and go off in the grass.

How long is it for?
 
And how do they send me the cars? Do I have to sign up somewhere with my GT?
I believe you have to be signed in with the Microsoft account that's tied to your Xbox account. Afterwards, you should see your Gamertag above the chat.
