As much as it pains me to admit it, the Hondas just dominate in D400, unless it's a flat out speed course, where the muscle cars will win out. The Civic and ITR I've got routinely put me on podium online.

At Lime Rock, tuned cars are roughly 2 seconds quicker than even the stock cars sitting at the very top of the class.

Erm yeah your not kidding . The R32 Golf in a race was 27 seconds a lap slower than a tuned Civic on the Nurburgring.............:P Over one lap in the 400 Class.................thats a bit mental

For the same reason Ladera, Camino, Maple Valley, Iberian, Rally di Positano, Tsukuba, Suzuka, Mugello and Twin Ring are gone - we have no idea and they have no interest in telling us. :(

None of the 360 era content is built with PBR pipeline and is incompatible with X1 forzas. Even if the meshes can be reused all the textures must be redone. This takes time, a ton of time.

This. I think the line they used for when they added the ring' in FM5 was 90,000 man hours of work. Big environments like Camino (counting the full environment w/the extreme circuit and Iberion/Ladera) Fujimi and Postiano especially would take a long time to get up to next gen standards.
 
I finally maxed out my first car manufacture's affinity and I unlocked one of those crew chief mods. Ford was the manufacture I maxed out, which means I guess I can grind up money in Mustangs, GTs, Escorts, Capris, & etc.
 
I must have a different mentality to you guys regarding affinity.

I have maxxed out 4 or 5 companies... the typical Lambo Nissan Lotus Ford etc. - ie. they make heaps of competitive cars for most classes so you keep those guys in rotation.

I dont use any cards or crew bonuses. I just want to race.

If I max them out, it means I'm relying on them too much, as others have pointed out, I'm missing out on the other manufacturers.

I try to spread the love to the minor players like Volvo and Holden and Pontiac etc.

Again, you are forced to max out a few companies like Lotus Honda Chevy by the fact they make a few cars that are exclusive to a racing series, eg. US Indycars, so you dont have to use them that much where you are free to use any car.

I get most of my points from hot lapping I barely do the offline career.. I do a 20 lap free run by myself all day! The driving is that fun!!
 
All these spins, levels and affinities are alien to me. I'm only level 12 and I've had it since day one like most of us. Chalk it up to using Test Drive as my means for shooting cars. I should get back to the career before I feel burnt out on it.
 
I've got four maxed out: Ford, Mazda, Acura, and BMW. Acura's there just from online racing with my ITR. Ferrari, Nissan, and Lotus are coming up next, at 18, 16, and 14 respectively.

I too look at it as a sign that I'm focusing too much on a particular brand. Doing all the Lime Rock laps definitely helps.

The Integra Type-R has always been a good car since FM4 I believe. It's actually one of the first I pick up when I fire up the game. It has such a balanced feel when swapped to RWD and it's top speed isn't as bad which can make it do pretty well on some of the tracks with straights.
 
Definitely had Mercedes, Ferrari, Audi, Honda and TVR* maxed out by the end of October. Can't remember if I've reached it with Ford yet, but then I've only touched the game twice since the November pack arrived. So I guess that's something worth checking later.


*Being determined enough to get the TVR badge, it's a shame that the Sagaris is all that's available.

There's no trick, it's completely random*.

Once over Level 100, the spins are apparently more consistently high-paying. I haven't checked to confirm, since I like saving them up for a go every 20 or so.

* - Except certain levels, like 57, where you're essentially handed a car.
 
I'm only level 81. Before the update I was getting low rewards. 25k almost every spin. Now they have gone up a bunch. I think people were complaining that turn 10 somehow modified the spins after the last update when they introduced tokens

Erm I just got Forza 5 on Digital Download for £9.99 . Should help up me Teir Level a lot :dopey:
Click to expand...
I never played 5 because I just got an Xbox one. I think I'm Teir 5 now. It's a shame I could be higher but I started a new account for xb1 because I couldn't get my old one switched over from Xbox 360. I have forza 4 game save that would come close to maxing my Teir level out. :/

Never played FM5 due to the lack of tracks an cars . Bought a XB1 to get FM6 , because I never go online my tier levels suck , so with me FM6 Level almost maxed out bar the online stuff I thought ok i'll look at FM5 an found it for the cheap price mentioned above . No Brainer for that money .

It wouldn't even come close unfortunately. The Tier levels go like this:

Tier 1 = 0 pts
Tier 2 = 100 pts
Tier 3 = 500 pts
Tier 4 = 1,000 pts
Tier 5 = 2,500 pts
Tier 6 = 5,000 pts
Tier 7 = 7,500 pts
Tier 8 = 10,000 pts
Tier 9 = 12,500 pts
Max = 15,000 pts

So if all you have to go on is 4 and 6, you could theoretically crack Tier 6 (though it's unlikely many people have 1000 Gamerscore for 6 already).

An extra 500k in-game every week is handy, but I haven't fallen under about 10 million or so since release, so YMMV. :P

Yeah I didn't realize there were so many points in between the higher levels, I never really looked at it close :/. I'm tier 4 about 400 away from Teir 5. So I'd have to get FH2 and forza 5. I think I still have a forza horizon save on my 360. A lot of work for extra credits lol. Thank you for the information :)
 
So to add to the rumor mill and speculate a bit more (because why not, it's a bit of fun :)), BADNED has been dropping more clues over at Forzacentral about something coming up for FM6.

So obviously yesterday he teased a photo of the 66' Silvia, saying "soon". However the car is already in the game, purchasable through career mode. This led a person replying "sooner than you think", to which he said "Nope, still cold my friend. You have not even started moving!". Very interesting, perhaps he's teasing the drop of something bigger than just a free car.

Then he decided to update his profile on the site, saying "The better spot? At the drop or at the top?". 'The better spot' sounds like something to do with a track, and 'at the drop or at the top' points at a hill climb based track. We all know what hill climb based track people have been asking for and of course people are speculating this over at Forzacentral.

Now I know people don't take his word for anything (absolutely fair enough) and this isn't the first time he's been very cryptic with his words teasing something. But to me, it does sort of lineup.

As I was speculating earlier, it was 3 months since we got the first track in FM5 and we are now 3 months into FM6. Of course FM5 got free tracks due to backlash for its lack luster content, but does that stop FM6 from having free or even paid track expansions? No, not at all. Likewise it also doesn't make what I'm speculating here a certainty either.

It seems weird that T10 would stealth drop a car into the game, and simply refuse to acknowledge it all. I mean it's free so why wouldn't they have an article showcasing how there giving away free stuff.....unless they're saving it for something bigger as BADNED has teased.

So TL;DR - Seems like something more than just the 66' Silvia is coming after the Mobil 1 Car Pack. What that is? Nobody knows, could be another free car, could be a livery, could be a track (nothings a certainty) but a good guess could be a hillclimb style track based off BADNED's two clues and of course Fujimi makes sense the most. Is it likely? Probably not but the inner Forza fan in me wants this to happen as I miss the track a lot and any sort of clue towards it gets me excited for it's return in next-gen form. I guess we'll see what it is....soon.

I kinda doubt Fujimi... Since they seem to be trying to get every type of Motorsport maybe Pikes Peak?

Pikes Peak is certainly a possibility and would be awesome too. I think Fujimi is more likely than Pikes Peak though just because (again more pure speculation):
  1. More people have been requesting fujimi's return than pikes peak.
  2. Fujimi would be easier to add relative to Pikes Peak (still a lot of work tho) as they already have all the source material/forza 4's model where as Pikes Peak would require them to laser scan the location + build it from the ground up
  3. I think because of fujimi's higher demand by the fan base, it would sell more if they decide to charge for it.
