I raced the Holden at the full Rio track, and early reports on it's handling are right. It's a big floaty bruiser, and I like it that way. I also love the soft round curves, like a zaftig model. I got mine in pink since it's the most macho of colors.

I raced the kenmeri at Watkins Glen. It's handling and performance are no surprise to me. The KPGC110 has been a part of my virtual race life since GT2. The skinny crappy tires coupled to the amazingly crisp six-cylinder makes for great fun.I got it in silver, which is a surprise, since I really hate silver as a car color.

I raced the Opel at Lime Rock. This Kadett is based on the GM T-Car platform which was built in 14 different countries under 10 different brand names. This was a surprisingly successful world car for GM. This here is probably the best of the lot. Nice grunt from the engine and above average handling for it's day means it's always entertaining.

I will race the rest and do photography later.
 
She drives pretty good,a good rival for the A9X when tuned to E300.:) I also drove the Holden,I have to say I was less than impressed with it's handling but not all cars are for everyone.👍

ts040 op pls nerf turn 10 :lol:

Anyways, this is my TS with a livery based on Ravenwest from the GRID games. It was the first livery I've found for this overpowered monster before I switched to a more standard racing livery.

Also, somebody needs to do a photo with the TS040 and the R18 (the 2014 model) racing at Le Mans.
 
The Monaro sticks like glue. Drove around Rio, Lime Rock and Bathurst. All I did was lower it and widen the tyres. Understeers when trying to bring the rear out with the throttle. Sounds like a brute. 👍

I wish I could lower the Kadett like the Escort 1800 or 510. I needs to do this:

It's become considerably harder to induce oversteer after the update. It did something to the physics.

Yeah, I noticed that earlier when I did a few laps in the IMSA RX-7... It's not fun to drive anymore :(
 
The real test will be the V8 Supercars. If I don't get any wheel spin or rear spinning out of corners, something is up.
 
Keeping with talking about the TS040, its sound and looks make it the perfect car for a replica livery of the 13th Racing/Soldat Crinale from Ridge Racer. :D

Did someone say Spec GTP?! :D

Despite being a 2015, it seems the Formula Mazda is based off the pre-2004 model, with a carb'd rotary instead of the Renesis. I've tried to modernize it, so it's sitting at 249HP now, and at a PI of 785. Good fun, and seriously fast: I landed at 32nd in the Americas on the leaderboard at Lime Rock, without touching the tune, and still having 15 PI to spend if I feel like it. Sadly, there's nothing that can be done for the gearbox.

If there's interest, perhaps we could do a small series?
 
This DLC was the one that convinced me to buy the pass. I love the TS040 so much, I just had to try the R-One.
I'm in love with Prototype cars again. The R18 is fine don't get me wrong, but I became tired of that car very fast as I used it to do most of the endurance races. I will be going back to those with each of the new cars. Also, I'm down for spec races.
 
Alrighty, I'll try to get a thread up about a Formula series in a day or so! 👍

I could be wrong, but as Endurances are special events, not the normal career series, the DLC cars won't be an option.
 
Did I mention how cool the '73 Skyline GT-R is? Its stock appearance is more or less typical Japanese vintage sportiness. However, add race suspension and some nice rims + increase their inches somewhat. Now it suddenly looks meaner than most muscle cars from the same era, but it obviously remains something very different. It's a sufficiently powered drive for great fun. Forza just reminded me why I've liked this car since first discovering it in Gran Turismo, and probably now more than ever. :)

I've put myself 97th in the Americas and ~390th in the world in the Formula Mazda at Silverstone GP in S Class rivals mode.

I ran a time almost half a second faster than my leaderboard time last night, but that was in test drive so it didn't count :mad:. That would've put me like 25th in the Americas...

Fantastic car to drive though. My tune is shared, GT is HighSeasHoMastr, file name is top s. It's set up for no ABS right now, so ABS users may not get the most out of the brakes on it.

I think my highest-ever LB time was in FM5, X-Class at Yas in the E21. I was in the top 8 for awhile there, think I fell to the mid-40s though...
 
I just can't get enough of this big pink cruiser. Today was my first completely free evening since the newest DLC dropped, and I had planned on racing everything that came in it, but I couldn't stop racing the Monaro. It's just so much fun to drive. It's sexy, too.









 
The Mazda Bondurant series open wheeler is quite good.

At 714pp its a bit kind of without a class. ie. I did upgrades to 800p so i could use it in rivals but besides that... I mean it would be nice if Turn10 actually gave us a one make series we could run with it.

I mean that would be one of the biggest complaints about the DLC. The cars are great but many do not fit into any class, nor can you run them by yourself so you're limited to free races. Which is fine for some people I guess.

I dont actually think you can run a grid full of Formula Mazdas ONLY???

Be nice if you could. I kind of wish they made a single player campaign consisting ONLY of Mazdas just like Formula E etc.

Considering how the Showcases are set up in FM6, it would be pretty easy to add in new ones as cars like the Mazda show up. Sure, they'd need to do more voiceovers to have them truly fit in, but I'm sure I'm not alone in saying I wouldn't miss them if they didn't. :P

You can run a race of just Formula Mazdas, but you'll have to do it from a private online room, so it won't be a full grid.
