Reckon we'll see the old R31 Skylines in the classic Aussie series?

 

[meganinja]

but I do wish we could use them in liveries like in GT7.

As i said i had proposed it to T10 on forusm but hasnt got votes yet

Be free to vote for it and ask others to voye, the more votes it gets the more probable it can happen

 

[sirjim73]

Yeah the XA has really long gears. Easily solved by "sport" transmission upgrade and shorter rear end ratio.

I find it annoying we have to switch to the sports transmission to change the rear end gear though, should be a separate upgrade. The XA Falcon is cool though, it's one of the few muscle cars where upgrading to sport transmission doesn't give it a 5th gear, so you can keep that "proper" muscle car 4 speed.

This was a godsend for the Aussie Classics series, thank you!
This sort of low PI series with classic muscle is the perfect fun series for me, at least it would have been if I hadn't been spun by the AI at Turn 1 of Sebring Short, Turn 3 of Sebring Short and halfway up the hill STRAIGHT at Bathurst. The idiot AI behind me wanted to be where my left rear was, so it could slavishly follow the racing line on the right hand side of the straight up the hill. Hit Rewind and then the ****er did the same thing again! Nearly threw the controller at the screen at that point...

Honestly, at this point the divebombing and spinning by the AI is spoiling the game almost totally (for me at least), as it happens in 50% of races, and I can't put up with it much longer.

I know it might remove the realism but in the Accessibility options you can turn off Collisions in Single Player. I use it sometimes.

I'd like to see some rules being enforced, and flags used. Is this possible with the game?

 

[Johnny Caisse]

I know single player has rules that gives penalties for cutting corners and hitting other drivers. The latter in with the Sports rules and Expert rules. Club rules doesn't penalize for ramming though. Edit: Flags aren't used as far as I can see.

 

[PJTierney]

The game doesn’t use a flag-based rules system.

 

[meganinja]

Things had been slow so far, I know is holidays but I was expecting some leaks or something like that right now

I had been worried due the lack of information, I hope the game doesn't die out before at least next Horizon launch

Relax, everyone is probably on a holiday break and the next update (which doesn't include a track) is probably done at this point and hopefully is a house-cleaning kind of update before tackling next year's roadmap.

 

[neil3646]

I believe there may possibly be some additions in BMW month we'll all enjoy

 

[RolexGTP]

Trust me, there's some new additions (and returnees) in BMW month you will all probably be very pleased about

And how do we know not to take this with a grain of salt...insider or just a troll?

 

[Beebo]

Probably just saying things, didn't they encrypt these kinds of things back when people kept being too open about which cars might be coming via datamining?

 

[PJTierney]

Like what?

 

[Johnny Caisse]

I hope hazy weathers will be mixable in free play with sunny ones, some of them are so nice.

 

[Morbid65]

I don't see how "some people will like some of the new BMWs" is something that we would be skeptical about.

Info comes out from these tests, is just inevitable when they make the "Insider" program something any rando can just opt into.

 

[FSGT]

Wait and see i would say.
Since we know nothing,it could be whatever bmw at that point.
January also mean 24h of daytona so if turn10 follow the logic maybe we could expect bmw race cars.

We been down this logic road before with T10, expecting particular race cars for said update only to not get anything associated with it. I hope we do but I'm not going to hold my breath I mean for all we know it could be nothing but road cars. So yeah we'll see...

 

[FSGT]

Im fine if they brought back the Z4 GT3 about car recycling,one of my favorite GT3 of the 2010's and drove a lot in FM6.

 

[MS8]

Hopefully we finally get the BMW Hypercar M Hybrid V8 and the BMW M4 GT3.

 

[syphe]

I'm hoping at least one of the following

• BMW M4 GT3
• BMW M4 GT4 (EVO?)
• BMW M2 Cup
• BMW 330i BTCC
• BMW E36 Touring Car

The Hybrid would be nice too, but would be nice to see at least one more modern production race car from the above list.

 

[egl92]

Fingers crossed for some new to Forza race cars: LMDh/GTP, M3 GT3, M3 GT4, BTCC 330.

But I think it's more likely that they're going to be returning cars. Many BMW's from previous games could return:

M5 E39, M5 E60, M3 GT2 E92, 328, Z4 GT3...

 

[RolexGTP]

I will say other than the obvious modern race cars, it would be nice to get the 1939 328 back. For some reason I like driving pre-war cars from time to time and we had quite a few of them in FM7 and many are not back in this game.

 

[Jezza819]

I was asked by a co-worker if you could just do this weeks Ute challenge without having done the previous three. I don't think you can. I think it's just like the open series, you have to do each challenge to open up the next one. That's correct isn't it?

 

[FSGT]

I want to see the Bmw 323 Group 5,M3 E30 DTM or even the march 86G BMW GTP when it come to old race cars.
On modern i just want to see the bmw hypercar and the M4 GT3.

 

[GiuliaFan85]

At least the system AI will be able to accurately portray a typical BMW driver.......

You can now - I was able to do the Aussie Classics without doing the previous two serie.

 

[Morbid65]

I'm going to speculate we will get the LMDh and M4 GT3, primarily because they don't excite me much and then I can be the only person not excited... but also because, as I said a few pages ago, I expect this update to do something that will make lots of people hyped and positive again so they can be disappointed with the February update.

The M635 CSi was the main one I wanted back, will go nicely with the VK Commodore we just got back for Bathurst racing. Now we just need the XJS and Starion back, and the Rover Vitesse from FH4...

The E34 and E39 M5s would be solid returnees, particularly if we got the '04 CTS-V back soon as well, to race the E39 against as they were a fun rivalry pairing in the FM4 days.

While I wouldn't exactly be excited for them, I wouldn't turn down the '14 M4 and '08 M3 coming back if they keep their bodykit options that their GTS counterparts don't have. They are also more versatile as they start at a lower PI.

My pick for "forgotten BMW in the Forza lineup I'd like to see return" is the E46 GTR race car. It doesn't really have anything to race against, but it should be quite nice to drive.

My pick for "not gonna happen, probably ever" would be the BMW 1600GT. Would be a fun car to race with stuff like the Cortina and MGB.

 

[PJTierney]

Speaking of things that will never happen, I want this BMW:

 

[pclark06]

Even if they are more suited for Horizon, a wagon BMW variant would be nice considering how wagon-obsessed (a good thing) Horizon is as of late. They are probably saving those for FH6 though.

 

[ykiki]

Saw two driver suits while driving in single-player races last night that I dint normally see. One was a Marshall suit, that I suppose is used in multi-player racing. The other was a "creator" suit that had things like controllers on it. I only wish I had taken screenshots.
