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.

That is correct. Also, the Tesla can have its motor and battery upgraded in Horizon 2.
 
Does anybody know if you can use the new tokens in FH3 to purchase cars from car packs you don't own? I'm wondering if its worthwhile to just cherry pick the cars I want from car packs, or just keep waiting for a sale on the car pass
 
So there's this driver in the GTP club who has a Subaru Impreza 22B tuned to B700. He shows up in my rivals feed over and over. Every time I race him, it's a struggle. I don't know how he does it, but it has ungodly acceleration and top speed. It's like a Saturn rocket tuned by John Force. The saving grace is he's not actually that good a driver. He makes plenty of mistakes. Overshoots braking points, tries to carry too much speed through corners, etc. I can catch and pass him with good racing. But if there are any straights, he always passes me. So it's become a real puzzle on how to beat this guy.

I've tried plenty of different cars and have settled on the Evo IX. I've tried buying setups for it, but I haven't found anything better than my own tune, which is pretty minor. I worked on a single race against him last night for three hours, the Redstone Strip Cross Country race. I worked on my line over and over. For the first hour, I couldn't get within three seconds of his time. In the second hour, I started figuring out where I could find a tenth here and a tenth there. Cut that corner tighter. Aim a little more to the left on that jump. In the final hour, I was finally even with him in time but kept making mistakes. Finally after three hours I beat him, and it was by 2 seconds.

While I don't want to spend three hours every night just trying to beat a single rivals race, it is very satisfying to finally get that win after so much effort. Also, I was ranked 25th out of 45,000 in the world by the time I finished, which is icing on the cake.

Same thing with me and a GTP lad by the name of Frasier1972, except he's an excellent driver. The track he keeps beating me on is a Surfer's City sprint in C Class.

I just noticed you can permanently select a certain class for playground games. Well done PG/T10.

:cheers:

PG as the gift that keeps on giving... They are truly treating this month as Xmas for Horizon 3, and thank God for that. Thanks to the feature mentioned above, I was capable of clearing the Ford GT HE Forzathon objective today because the available race sets were all A-class Playground Games events. Ah, the joy of being able to race something that hasn't been tuned to S1/S2 oblivion...

Plus, with the Mercedes-required 3 Wheelspins, you can add a layer of usefulness to the Playground Games by playing with a Mercedes car and taking down two birds with one Panzer. Gave me a good lesson; the SLK is apparently rather good for the purpose of PG-mode racing...

That's pretty good, in line with what Forza Motorsport 6 at the same stage of its life.
 
So frustrated because I'm most likely going to miss out on the Bentley and Ford GT...

I usually play on my Xbox, but since I'm abroad for the holidays, I thought I'd still be able to complete the Forzathons with the PC version, but the game doesn't even start because it won't let me sign in to a profile...

It was $25 until the 14th. You missed the cut-off

Weird, I didn't buy it until the 15th and it still said $25. Though only on the Xbox Dashboard, it said full price everywhere else.

Any guesses for january pack? Im hoping for the jensen to finally show up.
 
I'm curious to see what Aussie car will be in. There's been one so far in each pack.

Non Aussie though:
Volvo 240
Nissan Stagea
Toyota Hilux
Mazda Capella
Citroen DS

I dunno, they'd be cool
 
Championships are now complete and have made a start on the street races, done some bucket lists too, so yesterday was good 👍

Hey guys .. I made some pictures but don't know where to leave them here in the forum ... I will post them here hope it is ok :)

Hi @rallydakar Nice pictures, For each game out there there is usually a whole Photomode Sub Forum going on, I think you must have missed them:P. The main thread on FH3 has up to page 40 now, if you take any more it would be great to see them in here >>>> https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...-photos-blizzard-mountain-pg37.349612/page-40 👍:gtpflag:
