Finally finished. :) Took a while to add all the Prefabs.👍

1 lap which should take over 20 Minutes I drove my Enzo so with a faster car it should be less. Also I didn't count how many turns it has but its alot.:)
For a track that looks like it was designed on an Etch-a-Sketch, it was a lot of fun. The bollards on the apexes of the chicanes are especially diabolical. I did it in my stock Renault 8 Gordini. It took about 34 minutes. And don’t worry, I gave it a like.

Thank you so much.:)

As you noticed some parts didn't have the gate barriers that's cause I max out the prefabs and couldn't add any more:lol: but I don't regret making it that long since I'm a fan of super long tracks. 👍
 
So the 1953 Morris Traveler is in the Backstage Pass vote for this week! I've got FH5 uninstalled right now so I can't go vote for it, but could you guys let me know if it won? It's one of only two non-Extreme E cars I'm missing from my Garage (not my overall car collection--I sold mine to fund an Auction House binge) that I actually care about.

EDIT: Actually they're BOTH in there--against each other. Why's it have to be one or the other?!

What is even more irritating than that...?
One is the Morris TraveLer and the other is the Morris TraveLLer....!
 
Wait a minute... are we supposed to be condemning the game for having wide roads or writing it off for having narrow ones? I kinda missed the last memo. (My guess at the answer is "whatever generates more clicks".)

Is anyone else having trouble staying in Horizon Life. I keep getting booted to Solo, then reconnected to Life, etc, etc. And even when I’m “online”, there’s never another player in the session with me.
 
Public Service Announcement...

Be careful if you sort the Backstage Shop by "Not Owned" as it is bugged.
I had 6 cars missing when I used the filter which I only found because of checking my collection on Kudosprime.
So you might still have to look through them all manually when completing your collection.

Anyway, it's great that we can now get them all. 👍
 
I took the plunge and bought the Premium edition as it was on sale on the PS Store. I started downloading it and I didn't realize that the file size was so large 131 gb. I guess all of the updates and new content they added made it very large. I am excited that they made it easy to get all of the cars in the game. I can't to wait to play in a couple of days

I got some time to play last night. The opening was okay driving the different vehicles was cool. I thought the handling was a bit different to me. I kept sliding no matter the car. I must say I felt a little disappointed in the game TBH. As I kept playing the disappointment went away. Did the 1st barn find and tried out a couple of different cars. I think I like the J50. I think what I didn't like was the livery editor but I think GT7 has me spoiled with the sheer amount of paint colors. I do like the tuning section and being able to change transmission, drivetrain and engine. I can see myself spending a lot of time there. The hot wheels expansion looks fun. I did see one of my favorite cars available the Speed 12. That alone makes this a win for me. That will probably be the 1st car I buy.
 
I had the chance to play last night. I got a few wheelspins and super wheel spins so I ended up with enough money to buy the Speed 12. I went to buy it and realized that I had a car voucher so I looked to see if there was another car I wanted but just decided on the Speed 12. I painted it and then after driving it I had to work on tuning it. I like the ability to share tunes. Most of the ones that I saw for the Speed 12 for AWD and that's not what I wanted so I did it myself. Did a few circuit races then just rode around smashing XP blocks. I must say I am enjoying this game. Also between the wheel spins and the different races money is easy to come by. Coming from GT7 not sure how I feel about easy money lol.
 
Easy money means no requirement of mind-numbing grinding, racing the same races against the same AI cars over and over until your brain melts out of your ears as GT is so fond of. The easy access to money is one of the best things about this game. Of course, if you didn't have all the other things you can do in this game (weekly chores playlist, livery editor, eventlab, online racing and games in a wide variety of ways, almost a thousand cars to play with and a 2k car garage so you can have as many of your favorites as you want) most people would quit playing after a few weeks.

The money and wheelspins are just a gateway to the rest of the content, not so much a goal in and of themselves as in so many other games. People who can't move out of that old school mindset seem to struggle to enjoy this game.

Trust and believe I have no issues getting easy money. Just fact that the 2nd day in I was able to get my favorite car the Speed 12 is awesome to me. The sheer amount of cars in the game is really good. I can see myself after doing everything just jumping and riding around in the Speed 12.

I have to say I am really enjoying this game. I am still trying to get a feel for the handling but it is getting better. I think I need to stick with the slower cars for right now. I got my 1st backstage pass which I used to get CT5 Blackwing. I really like having the ability to buy any car at any time as long as I have enough credits. I do have a question though how do I access the different styles of paints like pearls, mattes, chromes, and stuff like that? I think GT7 has spoiled me in that respect. But I do enjoy the ability to change the transmission when you do an engine swap I wish you could do that in GT7. I get it they are not the same type of game but I have the most experience with GT7. Although some of the other arcade racers I play Car X Street and NFS have very robust livery editors as well. So I am looking for something similar to those games as well as GT7
 
So I have been playing for about a week and a half, after the initial wonder I am still enjoying the game. I have done a few auction bids and that has been fun especially since unlike eBay it is just in game money. Yesterday I was bidding on a Corvette and once I knew I was not going to win I just kept pushing the price until the point where the person that won paid the full price for the Corvette which was 369k cr. The barn finds are fun and I enjoy doing the head to head races that you find just driving. Yesterday I was racing against a Ferrari with my Speed 12 and the Ferrari was in front of me and we got to an overpass the car went over the side! My son was "Dad was that a glitch?" I said no they just drove off the road. Then I tried the Hot Wheels expansion and that was a blast. It was like playing Hot Wheels Unleashed with full size cars. I do have a question though how do I access the matte & chrome paints?

Its the three stars icon beside the paint pallete icon. Scroll down and you should find the chrome and and matte paints. You can also customize the color on some of them
