Have only really been playing this since yesterday and that’s the day the patch came out for pc so not sure how the gameplay was before but it’s super smooth now. Opened up the second championship thing this morning and played the spa endurance in the corvette and my god that’s a workout on a wheel for an hours race so much more involving than using a pad in previous Forzas.
A shot from the race earlier chasing down the leader.

I caved in and got it last week as well. Still not sure whats so great about it over the previous games.
Most annoying feature is not being able to jump straight into a test drive from the tuning/upgrade menu, Not to mention the ridiculous loading times.
Don't get the car tier thing either, Guess its a way to get people to play the single player to unlock stuff they w**k i guess

Yeah the homologation basically give the cars a certain PI limit. When you get cars through level ups etc it'll come pre homologated but you can restore to default and put a few of your own upgrades on but in most cases you'll only get a few on before going over the PI limit. Suspension upgrades is usually my go to purely for the tuning factor. Race ARB rarely adds much PI too, things like exhaust can hike it up quite a bit so you might get that on a stock Clio but doubt there would be much room for anything else in the homologation class.
I got that too over the weekend whilst starting the single player campaign. I haven't touched Multiplayer. All I've done is the intro races, the Road America Indycar rivals event, a few freeplay races and two series in the first tier of the campaign (Long races). I think it just counts your total laps - night and rain races look to be the same too.

I've done this race already at the default lap count. However, it can be made into a proper enduro (Theres an achievement for it). Brings the total race time close to 3 hours. Think I'll give it a go this weekend.

With a force feedback wheel my arms would drop off lol.
I've thought about a wheel set up before the problem with me is I enjoy playing from the comfort of the sofa. I think a gaming seat and wheel set up would make it feel too serious for my enjoyment. Plus I'm pretty quick with a pad now I think it would be a right chore learning to use a wheel. The trigger feedback and rumble on the edge of grip with a pad at least helps a bit with the immersion.
Seriously thinking about it. but have to get a stand too and thats another 110
Cant you drive then?!
Ermm yeah but what's that got to do with sitting in my living room playing computer games lol..
Unless you're insinuating that using a wheel in the game is anything like real life.
Its very realistic yes.

I use a wheel stand pro v2 think it was £90 on eBay and for the money it’s fantastic it doesn’t look much but the build quality is amazing. You can use this with a sofa if you wanted. I just have a chair I sit in when using it so no racing seat for me.
The best experience I have had was in an online race around Suzuka in the rain. When the car goes over the standing water you feel the wheel go light as the car aquaplanes exactly as it feels in real life. When the back steps out under braking/cornering you feel the momentum and the feedback from the wheel change. It’s a joy to balance the car and when you get it right it is very rewarding.
I was pretty quick with a pad and will admit at times I am slower using a wheel now but it’s a learning curve. The fact you can be very smooth and progressive with the steering and accelerator etc means you will surely be faster with practise.
Drifting on the other hand is a nightmare. As instead of just flicking a stick to add a dab of opposite lock you have to spin the wheel a lot. That will take a lot of getting used to.

Spend half my time pissing about in photo mode. If I concentrated on the racing I might even get some half decent times [emoji23]

I havent noticed any extra races get added on which is a shame.
Im finding the first 3 championships are really boring in comparison to the last championship, all slow cars.
Yeah more do get added. You get an open series one and a few showcases in each championship iirc.
My Xbox decided it would just delete the full game from my console the other night! Still not been arsed to download it again but luckily I had downloaded it on my PC on release day too, so I've jumped onto that now and it's so much better! No idea why I've been playing it on my Xbox when I have a PC capable enough to run it on Ultra...so much slicker and running a constant 60fps.
Loving the BMW 1 series BTCC car so far. On my second race series with it now. Could do with getting better with the camera but got a few pics I thought were quite cool anyway.
Got a little bit sideways in this one...
And in true BTCC style... full commitment in the corners LOL

@sburrell93 Mine did exactly the same on Friday - deleted the whole game. Had to download the whole 67 gigs again.

Seems fairly nippy that. At last I can play this online now I have the X. Also managed to find a couple of really good tunes for a few on my cars. Still annoys me though that when playing single player there is always 1 car that disappears into the distance by the time you make your way through the field and is nigh on impossible to catch in the short races.
Yeah it's pretty good on the tracks like Road America and Sebring. Not the best choice of car but I like using it on occasion. I always use my own tunes. AI is so inconsistent I ended up turning difficulty down halfway through career so I could get past everyone on first lap or 2 and then focus on setting a clean lap for the LB's.
Im enjoying this a bit more, Its just more polished than the previous game. FFB is kinda ok on a wheel now as well, Certainly better than previous attempts.
Still don't get the dry/wet grip thing though. Genuinely other than slow speed understeer and it being easier to lock up theres no difference between the two. I can constantly lap the same times in both conditions. Good effort there turn10, Maybe you should speak to Pirelli about your secret tyre compound for F1....

Quite enjoying playing a bit of Forza 7 in the evenings. Have almost completed it, got 4 or 5 more championships to go.
Got a few questions though.
What mod crates do you tend to buy if any? I tend to buy the 50k ones second from the left on the bottom. occasionally the 20k ones. Mods are a pain the ass though, just takes an extra few minutes on top of every race to choose and equip them. Same with the gear suits - absolutely pointless isnt it.
How do you get Legendary mods. Ive got one so far and cant remember how I got it.
What cars do you guys tend to choose for the breakout/open championships. I tend to use the ferrari 71 BBLM. The new Radical is pretty good too.

I only used the mod cards once or twice tbh and crates I usually open the most expensive available hoping for interesting driver gear but have only done it a few times as the reward is usually pretty s**t.
The open championships I mostly used the Hypercar class but did choose the hot hatch genesis, early sport touring and Forza GT a few times. Maybe others but I've forgotten now lol.
I'm hooked on the S class online lobby at the minute hoping they add some more online hoppers and open up leagues soon. M1 procar is probably my best all rounder there.
