I never have, and never will, have the desire nor the time to spend doing anything like that. They could take the editor out for me tbh.
Golf GTI PP Mk7
same here, utterly pointless tbh. Prepare for xbox live to be flooded with 100,000,000 crap paintjobs.

Equally there will be some awesome stuff on there too. At least this time round the store front and leaderboards will make it easier to find the brilliant rally/race reps rather than sifting through s**t that looks like a blind child with one arm has painted.

Mazda has a long history in motorsport highlighted by the 1986 Bonneville speed record of 238.44 mph set in the Racing Beat RX-7 and a coveted overall win at the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans in the four-rotor 787B. Mazda supports a number of race series in its Mazdaspeed Motorsports Development program, competes in the Speed World-Challenge and American Le Mans series and has an exceptional grassroots following so strong that Mazda is the most-raced nameplate in America.
Mazda’s most technically advanced racer on the track today is the Lola B09/86 MZR that battles in American Le Mans’ Prototype 2 category. Teaming with Dyson Racing with sponsorship from the BP energy company to field a pair of cars, the Mazda’s have fared well in their first year of competition. A Dyson Racing Lola B09/86 MZR took the class win at the company’s home track, Lime Rock in Connecticut, and the cars are currently running second and third in the season points.
The Lola B09/86 LMP2 Coupe is a one-piece carbon composite monocoque and is certified to ACO and FIA structural standards through 2012. The body panels feature lightweight pre-preg carbon composite construction. BP Dyson Racing Mazda coupes are powered by turbocharged 2.0-liter Mazda MZR-R engines prepared by Advanced Engine Research (AER) Ltd. Designed from a clean sheet of paper; the Mazda MZR race engine produces in excess of 500 horsepower. The plant features all-aluminum construction and is mounted as a semi-stressed member of the chassis via A-frames. The MZR is the smallest, lightest and most compact in the LMP class and there are no external belt drives or ancillaries. The camshafts, water pump and oil pump are internally driven by gears. The feisty 2.0-liter is backed by a six-speed sequential gearbox with a lightweight cast magnesium case that is designed to allow complete changes of gear ratios in 10 minutes without losing any oil.
The #16 Dyson Racing Lola B09/86 MZR brings a R1-943 rating to bear in Forza 3 which means it provides an intoxicating combination of grip and brute power. Use it like the fine precision instrument it is and dazzle your friends on X-Box Live.

I love the painting, not as good as most of them though :S
I think its more the fact that Turn 10 have been rumbled after the release of the demo and can no longer post the high resolution 'bull shots' they used to. So now they are posting actual in game or replay cars which look ok rather than great!
Look about the same as some of the earlier shots to me tbh. As for bullshots the whole situation is f**king annoying tbh. EA do it, PD do it, all the fans of the various games do it then pick the worst shots of the competitors products to try and prove their chosen game is superior. I'm yet to see a game that looks as good in motion as the static money shots that get banded about on the net. GT included in that, while it may have the best lighting and highly accurate models it looks nowhere near as pretty in motion in game as it does in the static shots or replay mode with its ramped up LOD.
Could be, but tbh as long as its a step up on Forza 2 I am not bothered. I think people are expecting to much imho.... Its gonna be the best Driving Sim on the 360 and for that reason alone means its gonna be EPIC!. Graphics aren't everything. It may not compare graphicaly to GT5, but the gameplay is gonna be miles better, which is loads better than graphics imho.... You could have all the graphics in the world and still find a game boring as hell!.
Your right and i'm sure some of us (inc me
) are giving it too hard a time! More due to what T10 said about 10x more polys etc in the race cars, shame they can't come off the menu screen!But yep out in a few weeks and can't wait, took the california out for afew laps earlier and I am so shite! Have to say its more the other cars, the AI can be agressive
Nippy white cup
Took a couple of crash vids earlier....almost as good as playing it properly lol

Bought the MS wheel last night. Totally transforms the game. I haven't used a wheel since the original NFS series on the PC. They have come along way since then. The force feedback feels good once used to it. After about 1 1/2 hours I was nearly down to my quickest times in the porsche and R8. 270 Deg of rotation isn't an issue for me, I couldn't justify spending over 6 times as much on the fanatec setup, theres no way it's 6 times better. Only problem I have is when the car slides I tend to over correct it, but I'm sure thats just practice. Great way to spend £58 and opens a whole new dimension to the game. Thumbs up for me for both the demo and the wheel.
I'm even thinking of firing Forza 2 back up tonight to give it a rip.

#41 Team Davidoff McLaren F1 GTR
Car of the Day 10.2.09
<img id="ctl00_ctl00_Full_Main_ctl00_EktronContent1_ctl00_uxLogo" class="logo"> Landin Williams and Evan Griffey, 10.1.2009
McLaren is known more for its F1 racing efforts where it won the 2008 world championship with Lewis Hamilton than its manufacture of road cars. The F1 team founded in 1963 by New Zealander Bruce McLaren merged with Ron Dennis’ Project Four Racing in 1981 and soon thereafter Dennis negotiated taking control of the enterprise.
Recently, McLaren has restructured and retooled creating McLaren Automotive to produce more road-going McLaren sports cars, joining the McLaren F1 and Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren. The epicenter of this effort is the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, Surrey, United Kingdom, a ying-yang-shaped facility with one half being the building and the other a vast reflecting pond. Savvy FM3 gamers may choose to reflect upon the car that started it all; the McLaren F1.
The car in the spotlight today is one of the rare race-prepped versions. From the 100-car production run, only 28 were F1 GTR ‘long tail’ race cars, specially built for private customers competing in the BPR Global GT Series (current FIA GT) and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. As good as the F1 is on the road, going racing required much more than applying some stickers and adding safety equipment. The F1 needed aerodynamic downforce in a big way. The GTR retains the F1’s carbon fiber monocoque but the bodywork was all purpose built with a dramatically longer nose and tail, as well as a wider, more aggressive rear wing. The wheelwells were also widened to accommodate the largest tires rules would allow.
From its signature center driving position the McLaren offers a unique motoring experience. Its BMW M-Power-built 6.0-liter V12 deals out 600 horsepower and is one of the few engines to be detuned for racing. Road going F1’s are rated at 627, sprint 0-60 in 3.2 seconds and stretch out to a top speed of 240 mph. The road-going car was the world’s fastest production car for 12 years from its 1993 debut until the Koenigsegg CCR dethroned it. Racing GTR’s dominated at Le Mans taking first, third, fourth, fifth and 13th in the ’95 race. Team Davidoff won the GT class at Le Mans finishing second overall in 1997 wearing the infamous Gulf livery.
But the writing was on the wall and the program wound down as the ‘98 season approached. The Mercedes CLK-GTR was coming into its own. BMW officially left the F1 GTR effort after the ’97 season to work on its own Le Mans prototype. And finally, McLaren withdrew its factory teams. It should be noted that the GTR was a converted street car racing against clean-sheet racers. Team Davidoff and Parabolica Motorsports continued on with their aged cars in 1998, but could finish no better than fifth in a single race. Team Davidoff were the only ones to score points that season, finishing 6th in the teams championship. After 1998 the GT1 class was abolished due to the dominance by Mercedes Benz, and McLaren F1s never raced in FIA GT again.
The pedigree of the 1998 #41 Gulf Team Davidoff McLaren F1 GTR, the Last of the Mohicans, includes famed Le Mans. It retired but a sister car managed a fourth overall. The GTR’s impressive R2-846 is a testament to its legacy and the abilities of McLaren. Be wary, there was an editorial item in “Autoweek” back in the day touting a McLaren F1 replacement muffler costing $17,000, so watch that damage counter!
