Why does everybody in Online Adventures love 🤬 Street Races so much? What is possibly so fun about getting taken out of the race because the guy in front of you can't avoid a Transit and spins out, hitting you off the track and causing you to miss a checkpoint? Why is Online Adventures the only way to play online without joining an online lobby and being forced into a boring S2 Goliath Circuit race, and who thought it was a good idea to base them off of XP so that there's practically zero incentive or reward to actually win, and who also thought it was a good idea to hide literally all information about the adventure you're joining such that if you want to test an offroad car you're forced into 20 tarmac only adventures and when you actually want to join a tarmac race you get stuck in last place on a cross-country course?
Ok, can you break this down into a single sentence or two so I can understand this better?

He doesn't like that...
  • "everybody" picks Street Races in Online Adventure
  • Online Adventure is the only way to play public Multiplayer (ie: no lobby system and very little say in what classes he can race in)
  • Online Adventure Championships are scored based on XP earned and not on Event results
  • information on what circuits you're racing is not available outside of the 4 icons you see on the voting screen.
 
One thing that I dislike about Online Adventure is that you don't know what kind of racing you're getting into until after you've selected your car. So you could be stuck driving a rear wheel drive car in an off-road race where you stand no chance against the numerous all wheel drive cars on the grid.
 
Looking back I would say Alpinestars was probably the weakest of the 6 Car Packs personally.

The Talbot was an awesome edition and the NSX was also very nice (Though would have prefer it to badged as a Honda but that's just nit picking :P)

Could have done without the M4 and Silvia personally and the Viper seemed a bit samey to.

The RX 7 was ok but nothing to write home about.

Otherwise I quite liked the other packs :)

Thank you. I get frustrated at this game pretty easily when the faults start to show, sorry.

To elaborate on the last point:

This is exactly what I mean. It would be infinitely less frustrating if you could see information about the adventure you're joining before you select your car, and/or if you could change your car freely so long as you haven't entered any of the events yet (e.g. if you join whilst an event is in progress). That way you can at least check the player list to see what cars other players are driving and base your choice off of that.
 
I am extremely concerned about my XBox One. I tried to log in this morning and it wasn't able to do it. Either it would spin and spin and spin and then go back to the "Who Are You?" screen, or it would log me in and log me right out again. "Hello, Kent. Goodbye, Kent." I've tried shutting it down and completely unplugging it. I've also changed controllers just to see if there was a problem with that. Nothing has worked. I still can't log into my XBox.
 
Man, that Underdog achievement was a lot harder to get than I thought. Managed to get 3 stars with my '69 Challenger in the drift zone by the shipwrecks.

Same issue here.
 
@Populuxe Cowboy and @Turboteg90 - have you checked your internet connections? I had a very similar issue when our router was acting up. Because the XB1 is so tied to being online, it reacts very badly when it can't maintain a connection. I had those exact issues happen, but once the 'net was sorted, the One worked without issue.
 
Guys, please put ANYTHING regarding a possible barn find in a spoiler. Even if there isn't a barn find.

I don't want to be that guy, but with two free cars, one of which being a brand new production model never seen before in a videogame, odds are there will be no Barn Find in the first place. Generosity is quite nice, mind you, but I don't think it can be stretched that far...

Techically, there is one March Barn Find, the AMC Pacer. Except that one isn't tied to the DLC, but rather a Forzathon event...
 
The ZL1 has two extra bonnets that are listed as Forza parts, and I can't find them from any matching models.

That's neat. No cars for me, Live can't connect.
That sounds like a you problem rather than a Forza problem. I've got both free cars in my Garage now.

Don't forget that the Duracell Spano is an item you need to look up directly in the Store.
 
I already got the Spano and the Racemo, so no problems on that side for me.

The main unique things about the Racemo are its color choices (about five two-tone options, main color for all being white), and the fact that it can take the I4 motorbike engine as one of its engine swap options (the other being the eternal Turbo Rally engine). Other than that, it's standard-issue Forza aero and mechanical parts. Still, I like how mine turned out with the color choices I made;

Late edit: Yes, apparently painting the car gets rid of the stock side decals. It's a bit daft, the car has a little too much white area without them. I had to use a makeshift solution and add "TAMO Racemo" decals next to the rear wheels to minimize that issue...

Am I missing the obvious in obtaining the Duracell Spano? I have installed the car from the store, and restarted the game. Where should I look for it?

The game should have given you a "You got a new car added to your collection!" message once you restarted the game. In any case, check your garage under the "Spania GTA" manufacturer and you should see it there. If you can't see it there, that's a problem...
