Summit/Custom Show bundles are going to be expensive since the theme for August is Bugatti and French cars. September is Porsche/Germany and October Triumph/GB.
I won't be able to play at all that week so I'll DEFINITELY be waiting a long time for it... it does look good though.
You don't need to buy the car for the time trial, you can just rent them for it.
You can get the Proto car in TC2. It's a bit annoying you can't use the Marble Edition. In the past you've generally been able to use any variant of a car but here they've locked the special version out of eligibility.
I don't know if the difference is me rather than the Summit, but I didn't enjoy last week's summit much, this week's feels a lot better, with nicer flowing tracks and better handling cars.
Especially as the Marble Edition is the Main Stage prize this month.
Agree with you the hyper cars have such a lot of nuance in the controls, you can really feel the edge of grip and I love the way when it breaks, that you can subsequently attenuate it with boost on exit. I think it escapes some of the community here, just how nuanced the driving can be in Motorfest... Ive just been wrestling the Bugatti Centodieci through puddles and having the best time honing hitting the apex's to perfection. The boost system is my darling, deploying it like ERS with real cunning adds a level of strategy that Forza would really benefit from.
It was more competitive. And I like it from time to time. Now I didn't have troubles staying in platinum. But I did have troubles staying in top 5k. Last week I didn't need to repeat any race and ended top 3k. And I agree last week tracks were nicer.
Im not sure what to think of the manual gear change at least its fresh, what it will make you appreciate is how much the boost dynamic matters because there is none... Im not sure I can be arsed even one shotting the summit this week when I can be driving with boost elsewhere in game. Just imagine what this game would be like if this was baked in (yeah looking at you Forza!). I dont think I would have 1300hrs on it if it did! Looking forward to next week already in TCM will pivot over TC2 see whats happening there summit wise...This week summit is going to be interesting with forced manual transmission. 😂
But then we can drive the Ogmios rally. Such a nice car.
It's funny, the lack of boost is one of the reasons I like Horizon a bit more than Motorfest.
Well i completed the summit and didn't get forced to use manual gears once did i miss something ? or is it a wheel options issue like i had last week i had restarted an event and thought i'd set manual and up the hardness but it didn't work unless i quit out and set the option in the wheel section myself
Maybe it's a bug related to how wheel has different gear options. With a controller, it forces sequential gears and nitro off. Did you have nitro forced off, or was that still working as well as having auto gears?Well i completed the summit and didn't get forced to use manual gears once did i miss something ? or is it a wheel options issue like i had last week i had restarted an event and thought i'd set manual and up the hardness but it didn't work unless i quit out and set the option in the wheel section myself
Nitro was off so yeh it looks to be the same issue i came across the other day 😵💫I'll freak it right out later and try steering with the controller and throttling with the wheel pedals 🤯 i often end up flying that way i find it easier than using all 4 shoulder buttons
I broke it ooops lol yeh na! it didn't like that at all hehe even after leaving the summit in open world the throttle didn't work on the peds but the brake still did and it was back to auto changing gears 🧑🔧

I like it, im engaged with something new to do outside the summits, a new course per week with new feats and challenges is welcome. Ive been posting some really decent times on the leaderboards, very addictive doing so. Cant blame you for wanting more, me too!, but as @sirjim73 says its the same ammount of content for the timeframe.
It's not a bug I believe. If you own the car already the livery and visual parts will be from the car you own even in playlist mode. I'm not sure about pro settings.
