What do yous think about the new Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spyder Wheel? It's only $99 but lacks any FFB.

I think you'll regret buying it. Put that $99 towards something with FFB.

Heck, the wheel I use currently for GT6 is a the cheap Ferrari GT Experience or something like that and it has no FFB nor is it officially supported by GT. I tried using the FFB on said wheel with nr2003 and F1 2013 on PC and I personally thought the vibration and all that was more of an annoyance, although I understand why FFB is so important to many. I'm more of a visual guy so I don't think the lack of FFB will kill it. I just want something that's officially supported and not have the wheel lagging behind because I have to use the controller options.
And I'm not ready to shell out $350+ for the next option on the Xbox one.
I'm already gathering the funds for the Xbox + Kinect + Forza 5 combo, Live gold, and a wheel.

Hard vibration is not the same. I can't drive without FFB because it gives me the sense of the car's touch with the tarmac. Trust me a good wheel with FFB is soo close to real life, it's totally worth it. My advice to you would be to better stay without a wheel for a little longer and then get an FFB wheel. That's what I am doing in my case (not getting XB1 unless I get it with a wheel).

Would love to see afew more tracks added to the game. Might be a bit of an ask getting my local Brands Hatch in the game I suppose (The only reason I hated never getting the chance to play Gran Turismo 6)

Oh yes I'd love Brands too but it seems we've had all the tracks we're getting for Forza 5
I played GT6 for a while and Brands was very nice. The practice helped me win first place at
my local racecentre because by coincidence the track of the day was Brands

Some questions on the Drivatar, I've had the game for a week now, in Free Play, none of the Drivatar's have livery's, is this what other people experience, also it seems the Drivatar's act more like regular AI in Free Mode than what I'm experiencing in Career Mode.
In Career Mode, I assume if you had completed a series and started a new race that you would be up against different Drivatar's, but it seems that they don't change. In the "C" class events it always the same Mini, WRX. etc.,.

Mine have all had livery's, even some of the people here have noticed my driveatar cars had my distinct tunes since the car had a cage they could see. I do drive some cars with stock paint jobs so I'm sure some see mine in what look like stock cars.
As for changing the drivers and cars from race to race in a series thats a no, I see the same cars and driveatars from start to finish of the series.

I have had plenty of cars with liveries in my races, usually the field is split, but I do see them every race. I wish I can see my drivatars on one of the tracks I'm 100% synced on
I'm sure he's super aggressive, the AI just gets me pissed sometimes haha

Kind of disappointing there wont be any more new tracks.
No Japanese tracks in the game at all, Would have liked Tsukuba atleast.

Just out of curiosity, how many manufacture affinity points does it take to receive maximum manufacture discount percentage? Also, what is the quickest way to max out affinity points?

I think it's 15×16500 XP or 247500 XP in total.
You don't get manufacturer discounts in Forza 5 but a higher affinity level awards bigger post race payouts if you're driving the corresponding make of car.

It has taken me about 9 hrs of driving each mfg to get to lvl 25. No real shortcuts that I know of.

Okay, so I might just be losing my mind, or something, but are there new rims? The Volk TE37, TSW Trackstar 4, and WedsSport TC 105 N all look totally unfamiliar to me. The blue edge to the Trackstar 4 seems like something I would have remembered.
