[Adamm.]

Also.

 

[Tails_]

The only thing playing on my mind about this game is the lack of car numbers. Granted they're all going to be autovista quality. But I did love the lower classes and speccing them up, even the likes of an Rs clio or fiesta st would be nice!

Might be just me, but that's because I usually stay away from the "exotics" and opt for classics and lower classes.

 

[Adamm.]

I'm sure there will be plenty lower class cars, probably most of the same ones from Forza 4.

I tend to race in R3 anything else feels too slow, I'd still be gutted if they aren't there though.

 

[Turkish]

There's an alarming lack of media, info etc for this game so close to release. I'd have expected to see more tracks and cars at this stage of development. They've announced spa and Bathurst and a revised (current layout finally) version of Silverstone and so far there's only been one still of Bathurst, nothing of Spa and 2-3 stills of Silverstone.

 

[Adamm.]

Getting closer to release now

 

[Scutch]

Still a distinct lack of footage considering how close the games are to launch.

 

[Turkish]

Tbh I'm struggling to get even remotely excited for either console or any of the new titles. Assuming they finish it (lack of media is a worry so close to launch) and it's not a rushed mess forza should be good but all the bullshit around used games and advertising and seemingly less gamer focused BS from MS is making me not want to give them my custom. On the flip side the PS4 will most likely have a crap controller, Gran Turismo series has gone to the dogs so it's only Sonys more gamer and less commercial focused approach to tempt me.

I'm inclined to wait a year let the early adopters get burned and then take a look at what both have to offer.

 

[Jonnio]

Does just seem like they are pushing for it to be a shiny looking launch title without any added substance over 4.

As much as everyone despises GT I'll be getting 6, my current wheel setup will work with it and I won't have to buy a new console.

this in a nutshell.

 

[conneh]

Wonder what car will be on the front cover of this, i have a sneaky feeling it could be a McLaren.

 

[AK]

Already been released:

 

[Adamm.]

I doubt it'll be a big improvement over 4 tbh but it offers a few new tracks better graphics a few added features. Can't grumble, but I see the usual cynics are out.. I still play FM4 for hours at a time so I'll be sure to enjoy it thoroughly, just hoping they haven't f**ked the handling like Horizon.

Next list of cars anyway..

[Adamm.]

Racing at Bathurst in Forza Motorsport 5 is going to be awesome. These shots give a sense of the elevation changes and scenic Aussie backdrop.

 

[benhiggs]

I can't say I've ever been a huge forza fan, however when I played it at Eurogamer on the Xbox one it looked amazing! So smooth and impressive, I also loved the fact the triggers rumble on the new controller so every bump was felt that tiny bit more haha

 

[Turkish]

Somewhat overdue. Pity it's more super cars rather than something different to what we've already seen.

[Rhino172]

Forza store now live....erm?....yay?

http://forzamotorsport.net/en-US/news/The_ForzaMotorsport_Store

the kit below doesn't even include the game lol

 

[AK]

$120. Jesus.

 

[Adamm.]

Is that a forza hoody? LOL!

I like the sound of the triggers rumbling under breaking and acceleration, will give a much better sense of whats going on.

[Adamm.]

Hadn't spotted the McLaren M23 until now!! Look forward to that.

 

[Adamm.]

Also that gamespot link was terrible so here's some of the spa footage...

 

[Turkish]

It's better but still s**t quality. Hopefully gamersyde host it at some point as nobody else seems capable of putting anything but an artifact filled, heavily compressed mess up online.

 

[Turkish]

2013 Ariel Atom 500 V8

Everything about the Ariel Atom is amazing. Its shape is practically automotive euphoria by itself, and that’s before you get it on the track. To drive one is shocking. The new V8 version takes performance to unprecedented levels and keeps the Atom at the absolute pinnacle of ultimate track toys. Sure it’s street legal, but the Atom is at home at the track or even the drag strip. Ariel claims 0-60 acceleration to be 2.3 seconds. Few motorcycles can even match those numbers; it follows, since Ariel used to build some of the most loved British bikes in history. Here are just a few of the mind-blowing specs that make the Atom 500 what it is: a John Hartley-designed 500 horsepower Ariel 3.0 liter, weighing in at 198 pounds, a Sadev six-speed sequential transmission, Dymag magnesium wheels, combined with its exo-skeleton chassis with carbon fiber body panels and foils the Atom weighs in at a phenomenal 1,213 pounds. Most drivers won’t even be able to handle this kind of power-to-weight ratio right out of the box, but learning to reel it in will be a lot of fun.

2013 Audi RS7

If you need a car that will rocket the family and a weekend’s worth of gear from 0-60 MPH in less than four seconds the RS 7 Sportback is ready for the indulgence of your right foot. It’s a five-door hatchback, of the highest order. The RS 7’s twin-turbo V8 packs a punch that will tempt passing when others patiently wait for a better opportunity. More than 550 horsepower is ready to make any trip an exciting notion. Take the RS 7 out on the track and despite the fact it is no lightweight, handling is profound, delivering immense grip under the most rigorous cornering you can throw at it. Thank Audi’s race proven quattro all-wheel-drive system for that perfectly balanced traction. Among grand touring sedans the Audi is a handsome choice for even the most discerning enthusiast.

2014 Ford Fiesta ST

Ford has been achieving great success with its lineup for one reason in particular: it has been listening to car enthusiasts. The design of the Fiesta ST reflects the things car lovers want. The fact the Fiesta has seen outstanding success in rally racing hasn’t hurt either. Styling is aggressive and sporty, taking cues from racing, such as the high-mounted rear spoiler and a low center of gravity. The Fiesta is loads of fun to drive, thanks to its 197 horsepower eco-boost engine and electric power-assisted steering. Off the line, the Fiesta ST is more than peppy, it’s downright fast, and through corners the lack of understeer will inspire confidence. Steering is quick and responsive and despite being front-wheel drive its tail can be pushed out with a little help from a heavy foot. Take a few turns in the smaller of Ford’s hot hatches and you will agree Ford has been doing the right thing.

2009 Honda S2000 CR

This rev-happy roadster has always been the life of the party among Honda lovers as well as those looking for a candidate for the occasional autocross or track day. The S2000 CR takes all that is good about the S2000 and then, following Colin Chapman’s rule of “adding lightness,” arrives 90 pounds lighter than the standard version. Adding some stickier rubber (wider in the rear), a lower ratio steering rack and stiffer springs, the CR is begging to be pushed hard into any turn that comes its way. Fighting gravity on the skid pad has always been a strong suit for the S2000, and now the CR brings even more downforce for high-speed corners with its revised body kit. The look it presents is functional, reducing the overall coefficient of lift significantly and giving the CR a racy look to match its intents of being a weekend track car. Limited production numbers make this S2000 a rare find on the road; thanks to Forza Motorsport 5, you can now say you drove one.

2013 Mazda MX-5 Miata

The Mazda MX-5 doesn’t have to be the most powerful roadster ever made to remain one of the best choices for spirited driving and all-out fun. It’s been almost a quarter of century since the Miata was introduced and other roadsters have come and gone while the Miata remains with very few changes overall. Fun can be found at any speed in a Miata and the handling will make any driver feel like they are one with their car. Steering is communicative and handling is intuitive. Power from the reliable 2.0 liter inline four-cylinder, while not immense at 167 HP, is ample to keep you stuck in your seat and grinning madly with an earful of its delicious exhaust note. As the saying goes: don’t fix it if it ain’t broken. Aside from a slight styling refresh, the MX-5 just keeps getting it right.

Pity the proportions of the S2000 still look fucked, looks like just a higher res car with the same poorly modeled issues it's had since Forza on the original xbox.

 

[Adamm.]

Atom should be fun, I thought spotted it in the spa video.

 

[AK]

Just about to go into the Xbox Tours event. Think they've got this in there.
