So reading between the lines, Fanatec were probably naughty, circumvented the security chip and lost their license...

Not the way i see it,, i read it as they would not be prepared to do it that way as it would be illegal.

A F40 with a McLaren paintjob? What blasphemy (for both sides).

Yes those games are tailored for being Simulation first and foremost but I thought some of the physics would have been looked at. I know the tyre model was greatly improved but it just looks like more of the same.

Turn all assists off especially "assisted turning" put it to simulation , now that is a handful to correct using a pad , tank slapping is an understatement

I don't know why he's so happy, I'd hardly call that a fix loosing everything in your career and all the credits you've earned would be a disaster.

Matthew what does it handle like , are you happy with your purchase ? , i am looking at one of the RUF's but am scared they might be hard to handle, and you cannot try them before you buy them :mad:

Question for you Forza 5 owners. I have read the micro transactions are OTT in this game and I have read that some cars if you wanted to buy them cost more than £13. My view on this is if you have spent £50 on a game you should get the full game.

Normally in this type of game your progression through the game would unlock cars and track. Can you still do this with Forza 5? Do you feel as though you are grinding to unlock cars?

I am one for not liking DLC , but if something is there and i want it i will prob just pay for it, having said that so far in Forza 5 i have not bought a single extra and dont think it is hindering me , as there are loads of substitutes , but it will affect you if you are after "That OMG" car that you fall in love with.

It handles REALLY well. I play with assists off, and expert drivatars, and it's the first powerful car I've had that doesn't slide everywhere, best car I've got so far!

I couldn't find anything on google about Shazaming it, I may find the commercial on youtube and see if it works that way - as I don't watch tv!

I've not played it yet, as a casual fan would I enjoy it or is it too in depth?

All this talk of DLC and micro-transactions have me more than a little worried...

I think they way Turn10 have went is aimed at casual players , as they seem to left out stuff for the league / hardcore players.
as for not being able to play the game without DLC,, dont worry one bit the DLC is NOT required to play the game in anyway.

Ah nice, I wasn't aware of the ABS use for them too... That's good though, looking forward to my console arriving so I can get some Forza on the go!

If the brakes lock up the left trigger rumbles,, if you start spinning your wheels the right trigger rumbles.

I missed that twice on Motor TV last night.

The first time i didnt have my phone with me, the second time i hit shazam too slow (its a really short advert), shazam couldn't find anything..

I wonder what the content is? probably just one of the forza livery cars.

Shazam is a music app for a smart phone, when the ad played the icon for shazam came up saying get extra content when u shazam now. Im guessing when u do that it will automatically give u some sort of information for the extra content. I dont have ab Xbox so i didn't bother doing it.

I did fine with my e36 m3 there, the tune is available if you want to try it out.

I've built an F355 that i'm using for B Class hotlapping at the moment, which is doing really well (top 20-50 on some tracks i've used it on), the tune isnt complete yet though.
