What did you do in FM23 today?

[ShavedBadger]

Did a bit more in the Mid-Engined series yesterday, bought one good car and one not so good. The good? The Maserati MC12. It's exactly how I'd imagined and how it was described back in the day, like an Enzo, but just a little bit better (weird instrument font aside). Just a great car to drive, stable under braking, balanced through low and high speed corners, with great traction and huge power to 300km/h, and just very easy to get consistent, fast laptimes with.

The not so good? Well, I bought myself a McLaren P1 for the next series on the basis that I should try something other than Ferrari V12s. And it sucks. Bulk high-speed understeer, brakes that are only kinda up for the job, and then the turbos spool up and it tries to murder me every so often with almost uncatchable power oversteer. Not loving it at all. And still not really fast enough to catch the GMA T50's even though the performance points would indicate otherwise.

Finished the Mid-Engine Legends series with the F1, then did a few laps around Sunset Peninsula at Sunset

Well, that’s the first Mustang Series out of the way! What is with the AI and new tracks. On the first lap of the unset Peninsula race the AI got confused on the first straight after the start and got all out of shape for an easy pass.
Not wanting too much aggro from the AI I tend to go for very easy opponents, though why at the start (more often than not) one or two cars go off into the distance only to slow down after a couple of miles to let me pass seems strange.
I had an interesting Practice at the Watkins Glen Mustang Race. There was a Camaro somewhat in the way and we had “contact” nd the Camaro flipped over and went over the top of me ending up facing the barrier behind me!

Just started the D class championship in this:

Did the first series of Mustang races - I actually quite like that car for what it is, and it's shocking how much better it is than the 2016 (?) model you can choose for the beginner's series. Much sharper and more balanced. Hate the lazy iPad everywhere dashboard but then everyone is doing that these days.

 

[Rob192005]

Yeah,driving that Alpine in R class was a bit much,but job done.

 

[RogsR34UK]

Had a “fun filled” 20 minutes or so doing the Mediterranean Drift in one of the lesser powered Mustang RTR Racers. I managed a couple of frustrating 19,000+ laps, eventually managing 21,574 to get the Formula Drift Mustang. It seemed as if setting one wheel off the track negated your current score. I was eventually scoring 1,000-2,000 or so at a time and easing of to bank it. Less speed was definitely better.

Also completed the B Class Open Series in the Evo III which is now Level 45. I’ll probably do a Free Play Race on Sunset Peninsula Full to get closer to the Challenge to get it to Level 50 (I don’t pay for my levels).

I earned the Formula Drift Mustang at the Rivals drift event at Barcelona, and I also did the Rivals event with the Hellcat at a very Silent Hill looking Maple Valley. I probably won't win the Los Muertos suit by beating 15 rivals there, but by accruing more laps at night elsewhere.

I watched your Rivals drift ghost with envy...

Thanks, drifting is...well it's not Forza Horizon drifting. I did it on Series X and I will try on PC to see if less input lag there makes it better.

I just did one of the non-drift Mustang rivals events at Sunset and crashed into a wall halfway through the first lap. Once I ragequit the game gave me the Dark Horse and other cars anyway.

Bought yet another Mustang to start the Last Pony Car tour. It's working out OK so far on AI level 6.

Think I'll be giving the drifting a miss.
