Forza 3 career options - help

[agnes]

Hey guys, almost closing year 4 now, driver level 43, and climbing fast. I have just got my weekly option for a R1 event, however, I don't own a R1 class car... Should I pick a event that I own a car to or blow a ton of money on a new R1 car? I have just under 1 mil atm.

ags

edit: also, I am on the weekend R2 class race 9 out of 11 after this event, I think. How much longer have I got left in the career? What happens next?

You will win a few R1 cars when you level up, so I wouldn't bother wasting your money.

Stick to lower class races, unless you're really handy, as R1 is really hard. You can also forget turning off TCS!

Are you sure it's R2 you're doing at the weekends? That's the year 5 championship. The career mode is 6 years, with 13 R1 class races. I hired a driver for most of them as I just wasn't enjoying trying to haul an R1 car around.

Must be year 5 I'm on. I am a good driver, nothing special, but do hold most times in the top 1% on leaderboards so consider my self ok'ish with the pad.

But will take your guys advice, let's have some fun in the F class with the Renault 5 turbo or the gti

Basically wen you get the yellow porsche r1 car it is the ONLY r1 car you need
Holds most records that one after you upgrade it
The only real expensive car you might ever want is the toyota gtone
This car holds records for tracks in r1 that arent held by the porsche (faster tracks like la sarthe etc

I never get why people "need" tcs
R1 isnt that hard just dont floor the cr on a tight corner if you going less than aboit 80 as you will spin
However that normally only a problem with the peugeots audis and acuras imo

Maybe that's my problem - I've done most of my R1 driving in the Peugeot. I'll try something else.

I never used to have tcs on, everything disabled apart from the braking line. However, I will admit I struggle with keeping the grip with anything more than a R3 with the pad, so had to turn it on, it has made my driving a lot more fun and faster strangly. Still have moments like in my Mazda #16 downgraded and tuned by SK Gaming to R2 I lock the brakes a lot... But I like that, I like to be reminded I do have to feather the car, not just slam the triggers into oblivion! lol

Enjoying this game even though there are well over 24 hours invested lol.

I have the Ferrari R1. Cracking car, basically revs like a F1 car, although it can only just be outpaced by the Renaults, Audi etc

I can only really handle AWD cars upped to R2. The Lexus Eneos is a good RWD car for R2 in my experience, though it's not the fastest.
