I did the vast majority of it, but certain classes and tracks just aren't for me. Anyway lets see how you get on

Just had another encounter with this... I'm not a huge fan of New York full, with the chicanes, so I've been hiring a driver for these races. I was using a Subaru that malc put together for me. The driver kept putting it into the walls on the circly bit and on the square bend at the other end. It was only 3 laps, and it's a good job, as after the third hard knock the engine was pouring smoke. Numpty.

Already about 50% through, have already done 50% before, but backed up my save with box data transfer and the save corrupted and I had to start again

That's why I wanted to get mine out of the way. This franchise really needs an online save facility.

I've currently got a hired driver doing the R3 endurance race in the FXX. I could probably do it if I dialled the difficulty down or pushed something decent all the way up to 800, but I'm not sure I can be arsed with an hour long race.

The FXX is pretty good, but I'm with you on the hour. 15mins is about my race limit in this.
The endurance races are really fun, once you get into the right mindset, I lov the R1 round the ring after the first lap, it became some insane high speed roller lasted time trial, same with the F Class one, pushing my little '76 skyline as hard as I could lap after lap, felt I knew it by the end

The FXX is good fun, yeah. It hugs the road really well, so as long as you can handle the corners without oversteering wildly it's pretty good.
The one I've just discovered which I'm absolutely loving is the 599. I've done some minor pimping on the platform to push it to 699 PI and it's absolutely amazing. It accelerates so well and the handling is phenomenally good. I think I'll be using that for all the S class events I can.

Looks fine, Nurburgring is quite overcast anyway.
I'd hazard a guess that your TV settings are way off instead.

Maybe cos FM4 is so close to release.

I've just compared your picture on the storefront to the hosted picture above on my laptop and they're virtually identical.
Just to confirm the myth my TV is an IPS panelled Panasonic which is a good 4 years old. It's been quickly calibrated using the THX Optimiser many moons ago, which is good enough for me.
The FM3 storefront has been a bit buggy for months now, ever since MS messed around with the back end of xbox.com. If you can't get to My Forza try searching by gamertag instead of using your profile.
