Forza Motorsport General Discussion Thread

No.2 has to be the VK Group A
No.3 sounds like the Holden Monaro/HSV GTO/Vauxhall VXR Monaro
No.4 could be the VN Group A SS Commodore that Brock raced in that period. It'd be nice if we got the race car.
5. Sounds like a Commodore or a Falcon

As an Aussie I would hope that we get not just returning car but stuff like the latest Gen 3 Supercars with Bathurst. There's plenty of interesting cars that have yet to be in Forza like the Bathurst 24h winning Monaro 427s. One of the Gibson Group A GT-Rs would be cool too. Yes its a Japanese car but its a very significant car in Australian motorsport history. Such a dominant car and full of Australian development so much so that when Gibson were invited to race in Japan Nismo asked them not to come because it was apparent that they were so much faster then the Japanese cars.

The only recent consoles I can think of with "useless" hardware bundles are the Xbox One with Kinect and the Wii-U's tablet controller, neither of which have much to do with Australian cars as far as I know. Number 1 could be tricky.

I was looking at this and thinking maybe the HSV VF GTSR W1. The last hurrah from HSV. a 650hp supercharged masterpiece.

It would probably be the biggest missed opportunity so far in this game if T10 didn't include either the current gen. v8 supercars or at least a couple of past historic Bathurst champions. I hope they even squeeze in the missing Volvo and E63 supercars from the 2015 gen that was in FM6 and icing on the cake would be v8 supercars finally getting their own division.

the 14 Holden Sandman, which is a V8SC spec Commodore Wagon built by Triple Eight, was leaked in the FH5 files a while ago.. maybe one of the cars is that?

Coleco and Holden both had models called Gemini... the controller looks pretty standard though:

And the car (a rebadged Isuzu) is more sedan than supercar:

Early Holden Geminis were rebadged Opel Kadetts, and we haven't seen the Kadett GT/E in a while...

It's been a long time coming, but here's my FM 2023 Review.

Great watch, Scaff, enjoyed it. Funny, after playing FM7 (which, as you stated, was terrible), once I got things dialed in on FM2023, and tried to compare it fairly with some other titles, I honestly thought I was off my nut because I really liked the driving dynamics, how the steering weighted and unweighted, how I can actually balance the car with the pedals. It's not quite to the level of say, AMS2 or RaceRoom, but it's still pretty damned good in it's own right. And I'll still say that the vintage tire model in FM is one of my favourites currently which makes most (not all...) of those old cars enjoyable and fun to drive rather than frustrating and terrifying!
