Started the game today 😎

Just taken the plunge as I'm off work for a few days later in the week, got game pass ultimate for my TV as don't have an xbox.

Runs surprisingly well on there streaming to the tv for a bit of fun doing career mode. Loving being able to drive Kylami 😍

Not sure I'll be able to do much in multiplayer via the cloud streaming though
I tried doing this but ended up really struggling with the latency. It was much worse than when I used to play the Horizons via the browser on my Mac.

My Ginetta G40 dominated the D-class. It's great that we got this from Project Cars!

I will say, I first tried back in March 2023 when I got my new TV, and xbox was unplayable. Especially Forza Horizon.

It's much better now at the 2nd attempt. The graphics are obviously not as good over streaming, but it still looks and plays really well! Half tempted to get an xbox as well now haha
 
I continued with the open series and started the B-class races yesterday. I chose the Subaru BRZ, wide bodied it and gave it all the handling upgrades. It has just 230 hp, but that's plenty with a weight of just a tad over 1000 kgs and enough grip to tear your face off in the turns. I did the usual suspension tuning (softer front, stiffer back), to eliminate some mild understeer and then it drove like a dream 😍

Completed D-, C-, B- and A-class Open Tours in the all-conquering Ginetta G40 Junior.

It's a shame it reached level 50 so quickly or I'd use it every month.

I tried the 2017 Holden Walkinshaw VF Commodore in S-class but it's not as good. If I have time I'll see if I can get better times in the other Ginetta (G55) despite its worse stats than the Holden.

Finished the 15 laps at Daytona today to get the hybrid BMW. Not going to be playing the BMW Tour much for the next couple of weeks, but will get the McLaren P1 15 laps done next time i'm playing.

Did the first of the BMW tours in the 635, and unexpectedly wound up in an almost Group A touring car revival series. The only car missing from the roster seemed to be the R32 GTR but that's probably for the best, but what a fantastic car and series of races! Even if the fog at Spa was a bit much...

Also tried picking a left-field choice for the A Class tour in the Pontiac Trans Am WS6. Tuned it up the the max points, drove two practice laps with it and sold it in disgust.

I drove the 635 as well and for a near stock car it drove really well. Ironically I started watching Black Doves on Netflix at the same time and the main character drove exactly that same 6 series BMW.

I ended up using a 1998 Mercedes AMG CLK GTR (OBE TTFN WWJD etc) which was fast and had great lateral grip stats but was kinda squirelly when straightening up after corners.

The McLaren P1 I won in Rivals is maxed out so I did R-class in a '93 McLaren F1. This was a little more sure-footed than the CLK GTR on the straights but the car seemed to forget it had ABS as when I tried to break for the hairpin at Hockenheimring the turns felt stiffer than an excited bridegroom on his wedding night.

The #1 BMW 3.0 CSL I won had nice livery but otherwise it didn't feel like anything very special. Judging by the way the AI were matching my turns despite having a lower PI, I'm even not sure it's the best 3.0 CSL in the game.
