Let off the gas when you jump! That poor motor.

Well I guess I should go ahead and share my Xbox tag? I'm playing on PC but from what I understand you can cross play with Xbox One players. Plus I'd love to have some more people to compare times with.

Add me on XBL or with the Xbox App: Amaz3Craz3

Well the i8 is expected, after what Mechberg said in the stream and what was said in the WiR. There's also a thread about on here if you want more details about it. I don't know where they got info about the NISMO GT-R being confirmed though, that website looks pretty sketchy.

One slight annoyance I've had with both FM6 and FH3 is how ridiculous the paint marketplace can get... I've got nowhere near the talent, nor the patience, to design paintjobs myself so more often then not I use the marketplace, whcih I feel is good for the community (I'm still hit or miss with FM4's pay system, sometimes it was worth it, sometimes not, and some players used that as a bit of a hack/opportunity to make money, but some people deserved the credits for their brilliant work) I tend to search for slightly more obscure or less thought of stuff, and it's painful to see how few people actually use the naming/category filters. I wish we could still sort paintjobs by popularity like we could in FM4, that way we wouldn't have to sift through 60 stickerbomb paintjobs with no thought or talent put into them (that all have a 3 star rating, for whatever reason?!) or 75 similar Monster/Rockstar cars... I scrolled through about 150, maybe 200 paintjobs for the Ken Block Focus just to finally find a McRae/Martini liveried one like I wanted.

I wish they would've just stuck with Forza 4s search system instead of getting in a different car each time to look for a certain paint.

I usually do but lately I've got into the habit of holding it down during jumps after driving the Ranger T6 Rally Raid. I just love hearing those pops and bangs

Finding good designs has always been a struggle, mainly because only 1% of all submitted designs are considered "good" in the first place. FM4 had its fair share of Monster designs and stickerbombs as well, it was just easier to filter them out back then.

Also, in recent titles the Description doesn't appear when you browse designs, so many people don't bother.

The only advice I can give is to Follow any person who you see has a Featured Design, so that their content is pushed to you first.

Not sure if this is the correct place but I will soon be joining the FH3 crowd, been considering XB1 for awhile now due to how insanely amazing FH seems, I've played the first 2 at friends houses and the game seems to be incredible. And now, with watching gameplay of FH3 and the Aussie world seems pretty cool, drive-atar system seems really BA so I'm even more inclined to get this game 👍 Is there a pretty big GTP crowd over here?

 

[Ameer67]

Is there a pretty big GTP crowd over here?

Not as huge as the Gran Turismo side obviously but it's a decent amount.

So... did we got news about the i8 today?

 

[PJTierney]

So... did we got news about the i8 today?

Judging by the level of activity here today, no.

It'll probably show up in a few days however:

2) Here’s a teaser for you, we will also have a brand new event in January starring a car from the January Car Pack for Forza Horizon 3; a car that just happens to be the most requested BMW in Forza history. I’ll let you guys ruminate on that for a few days before we officially unveil the car next week on our Forza Facebook page.

I keep meaning to ask guys, what are the travel discount boards for?, apart from points and stuff, I thought you`d be able to fast travel to places on the map, but that dosent work anywhere apart from back to the festival places.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Travel boards lower the price for fast traveling.

Each one you smash reduces the cost to fast travel (regardless of where you travel to) by 200 credits. Initially you can only fast travel to festival sites however once you level up your skills enough you can unlock fast travel to any road or dirt track which is really useful.

 

[imported_rik19]

Thanks I must be miles behind then, cos I can`t fast travel on the map apart from the festival sites..cool thaks @Moglet

It's the 1st option on the 2nd row down on the 'Festival Boss' tab. I think it requires 10 skill points to unlock, but many more before you even get the choice to unlock it!

Finally really glad to see the i8 finally in a racing game

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Fantastic! 👍

 

[Populuxe]

Can't wait to get behind the (virtual) wheel of the i8.

 

[VXR]

Can't wait to get behind the (virtual) wheel of the i8.

It's a dang site easier than getting behind the wheel of the real thing, but then it's even harder getting out!

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Now I need the 6x6 then this game will be perfect for me.

 

[ShawnPhillips]

looking forward to driving the i8, and I got a new G29 sitting under the Christmas tress waiting for Sunday! It is not even wrapped, so it is just taunting me every time I see that blue box.

 

[Maxrevv]

God, that i8 is good-looking. Here I was thinking while watching Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol that the BMW i8 (a concept back then) would only exist in the next decade or so. I'm glad I'm wrong.

 

[skazz]

Those i8 rims look insane in real life next to more "normal" cars.

 

[Obelisk]

The i8 looks crazy in real life. I've seen two in the past six months and both never fail to amaze me,

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Completed the Exhibitions, one more Championship to get and that' the one with Goliath in it, still haven't really touched the street races but I'm getting the with the boards.

Got the Blizzard Mountain expansion this week too and have been playing it.

 

[GBalao888]

I hope that besides the petrol engine, the i8's electric motor can be upgraded in-game. Back in Motorsport 4, with the Prius and the Lexus CT200h, I think you can do that.
