Forza 6 V8 Supercars thread

[ed24]

As all the cars are from 2015 Super Test liveries(bar the HRT), makes wonder if they could only scan the skins in time.

It does seem rushed, there are a few annoying errors in the liveries. A bit of a lack of attention to detail unfortunately.

Like none of the Holdens having their correct headlight covers. I also noticed that the rear wing is the short version of the last couple of years, not this years taller wing. So it seems to me that they just took the 2013 Xbox car that they had in FM5 and put this year paint schemes on them

Just got done throwing a Commodore around Long Beach..god i hate that track. I get the feeling this car will feel good on more open circuits though.👍

Edit:As i thought Laguna Seca was much better.

New livery for Bathurst

They all sound exactly the same, and what's with the tyre squeal?

That video sounds like someone put the audio from a GT6 NASCAR race over the top of it.

Those engine sounds are so flat they actually wouldn't be out of place in GT6, and the constant tyre squeal sounds exactly the same as GT6. Forza games have always had much better audio than this, wtf went wrong with the V8s?

So can't choose a Volvo for the Bathurst 100 endurance race and then there is no volvo's in the field? I'm getting more of a feeling the V8's were rushed

This year at the Bathurst 1000, Hell Corner (The first Corner) will be named 'Xbox Hell Corner' and will be covered in Xbox signage. There will also be 'Xbox Victory Lane'

To enter, players just need to complete the ‘Forza Drive to Win/Xbox One Bathurst Challenge’ rivals event inForza Motorsport 6 by 11.59pm AEST on September 29, 2015 (that’s 6:55am PDT, 9:59am EDT, 2:59pm BST, and 2:59am NZDT on Wednesday, September 30). Players will be lapping the 2015 Xbox Racing #17 Ford Falcon FG X around Mount Panorama.

More competition details can be found here.

Winners will be drawn at random to attend Australia’s most famous race, including two from the United States, two from the United Kingdom, one from New Zealand, and five from Australia and on Friday night will set a lap time against their rivals to see who really does, ‘Drive to Win’.

Kudos for including the UK and US in the competition. Bit odd they only have one spot for a Kiwi, though.

 

[turbofozz]

Winning that comp would be amazing for anyone I was at Bathurst last year and the feeling around the place during the race is unreal!

Ambrose doing a Shoot Out lap in the #17 on XBOX during the Inside Supercars show right now.

Ambrose did a 2minute 8second lap. He said it was a bit scrappiy across the top of the mountain.

I just can't drive those cars. Had to put STM on to even manage a clean lap. Can't exactly remember my time, but I think I got a 2:20 odd, and that's the best I'm willing to do.

 

[05XR8]

Yeah, the back steps out a lot. I didnt notice that at Ll when Ambrose drove. But, he wasn't shifting either.

May have had all assists on.

 

[CarreraGT]

Keen to see what these things sound like, if they all sound the same and the Nissans/Mercedes don't have a high pitch scream then they have failed.

The Holdens and Fords have never sounded right in Forza anyway... They just sound like Nascars.

Bit of a game breaker for me since the sound is signature for the series

They did the same thing in 2013 also.

I may try the Bathurst 100 tonight. I've been testing at Yas and Road America with the #9 EMV8. Are there a mandatory number of pit stops to make it to the finish?

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

I really want to run the Bathurst 100 over the weekend. Not sure if this is available right away or if I have to do other endurance races first?

I'm not sure if it is available right away. I actually saw it after I passed the first tier.

Don't think it is - move to it and select it and it will tell you what the requirement to unlock it is.

No mandatory number, although it isn't possible to do it without a stop - the rest depends on how you drive and how close to empty you want to risk running on fuel. I did it with one stop and some gentle driving for a couple of laps and still won by a fair distance.

Watch some of the recommended designs for authenticity folks.

Good news for sure. Also for those that don't know, the current league play event is using V8 Supercars. I ran a few races in there last night. 1st Race was Nurburgring GP. 2nd race was Lime Rock in the rain. Whoa that was a blast. Just keep in mind, this league play event has collisions ON.

 

[turbofozz]

I can confirm they sound much better now 👍

 

[ThomasJarrett]

Is there any gameplay anywhere of the v8 supercars with the new sounds?

 

[Krakenous]

Ohhhh man they sound SO MUCH BETTER! The volvos, each sound superb, the Erubus sounds excellent too, the falcon, ahhh, each of the sound so much better with there own engine notes and exhausts note it makes them finally 100x more fun to drive! Loud, louder, off and on highs and environmental sounds are superb. They may not be 100% true to life, but they are in the 90's and to me that is bliss enough! Thank you T10 is all I can say, i can now fully enjoy these machines <3.

 

[05XR8]

Best game ever.
