Wooooo!! Just raced in a B Class lobby online, my Abarth 500 vs a Ferrari F355 and won! Both were tuned for this race but it looked like my car had the upper hand in acceleration and handling. I started shaking when the Ferrari came right near my car's ass during the final lap, but I kept my momentum through the corners and won the race! I'm so proud of my little 500 and the tune I've done to it, to the point I just needed to save the replay of it racing. :D

Also I've started using manual/clutch today, and boy it does make you faster! Time to say good bye to manual-only now, feels so great! :O Time for me to go sleep now (pulled all nighter), so I'll see you guys later. :)

Cya.
 
@SlipZtrEm It looks like you will need to cut another second off your time for that special bounty challenge since the person everyone has to beat, now has a time of 01:39.562 or similar. :boggled:

Dude.. that is a crazy time posted in a boaty Wraith I might add! I can't seem to touch even 1:40 and there are folks on the boards posting 1:36... whaathh?! *Borat reaction*

Probably a good time to start downloading some tunes.
 
I've finally created some new designs for you guys download them, if you want of course. :) The license plates are a lot better than my last ones, which features FM6's logo (black and white versions) and modern/classic number boxes and many others. They're available right now but I'll be posting them here in case you're curious about how they look like. :D
 
Someone else try this and make sure I'm not hallucinating...I noticed this last night when I ran a race, and just did another one now to check. I just used 3 affinity boost mods on a race and it didn't make it dirty, ill try again to be sure. Has anyone heard anything about them changing that?

Edit: I just tried with 3 driver level exp boost mods, and was able to record clean laps. That's cool as 🤬!!!

Hey, about time! I have set record times doing some of those enduros and they never were clean due to the XP mods. Glad to know that the XP mods no longer invalidate your time!

I free play/race all the time, this was one of the things that I was wanting the most. I'm always using exp/affinity mods, not that my times would be at the top of the leaderboard or anything, it's just a lot of my times are dirty because they were set in free play with exp mods. 👍

Found these on this guy's twitter. Not sure how he got hold of them, but he said its 'too long to explain on twitter and that he'd DM people how he got them' Asked him for one a short while ago, hasn't replied yet.

Any thoughts on how he got them? Early access maybe, or you guys think they're fake?

DJ Lime is pretty close with the community team at Turn 10. He has been very involved on FM.net for quite a while now and had been given early copies of games for the last few releases, not including FM5. So yeah they'd definitely be real.

Why would they be fake? The DLC has been leaked/announced on Amazon - prior to that T10 formally announced it on their forum and it's coming sometime in March or April. So why the speculation? All we got to do is wait for it to arrive. End of story.
 
I just realized that VIR, as we all expect to arrive soon, will bring the number of tracks also featured in the 2016 season of the IMSA Weathertech Sportscar Championship to ten. The latter spans twelve tracks during a full season, so maybe the plan is to also release Belle Isle and Canadian Tire Motorsport Park as DLC? Three DLC tracks in total would be be consistent with FM5's DLC strategy. We've seen a lot of IMSA cars added lately, so having all locations from the aforementioned series doesn't seem far-fetched.

I'm happy with the track roster the way it is but more tracks would always be welcome! Mosport is one of them tracks I really want to drive in a game but hasn't been in any games I've had access to, it looks like so much fun and would probably be top of my track wish list.

I just hit the design limit (I count 400) as I download designs for pretty much all of my cars, now clearing out designs I no longer use on some of the cars. I wish there was a way I could filter them to show only designs I'm not using, at the moment I'm just scrolling through and pressing X to delete each design and depending on the message which shows up I can tell whether it's being used.

I too am generally content with the track roster; however some of them can feel rather dull and they've been recycling the same tracks over and over. 26 tracks now - it would be super to see that number nicely rounded off to 30.

I'll go on record to say FM3 had the most exciting track roster. Maybe bringing back those tracks or similar layouts should make the racing more exciting. Hoping to see some sick street and fantasy tracks make a comeback.

Rant over *before this turns into a wishlist*

I haven't got that high yet, I thought the design and tune limit were both 500? I hope at least the tune limit is.

I thought that too but I got a message when trying to download a design saying something along the lines of "unable to download design as you've reached the limit" then went to count through my designs and it was at roughly 400.

For tunes I don't know as I don't download or save many, but Raceboy said a while back it's 500 so there should be at least enough space for most cars.
 
I spent an hour yesterday wrestling with the RR Wraith around Brands Hatch. Using @Im_Lukas tune, I was able to get my time down to 1:42.9. Instead of getting frustrated, I just gave it up as a lost cause.

Instead, I tuned up all my Lancias in an effort to level them up. The Fulvia is E300, the Stratos is D400, the Delta is C500, the 037 is B600, the Delta S4 is A700, and the Beta Montecarlo Turbo is R885 (the max you can tune it.) I ran them in the hoppers all evening. I think my affinity level is up to 15.

I'm having fun doing this, and except for the usual immaturity in the hoppers, online racing has actually been relatively stress free. The Montecarlo has been a revelation. Despite being down 15PP in the class, it's a fun car to drive.
